    2021 Toyota Tacoma OR
    Alex N.

    Been waiting to make this post after having the suspension for a few months. I originally had a lift done by ORW. No issues with there work but the Fox 2.5 race series left a lot to be desired. Checkered automotive works hand and hand with Accutune off-road and got my suspension dialed in. Having the shocks retuned has dramatically improved my ride. Checkered automotive worked with my schedule and their pricing is more than fair. Cannot recommend them enough. Get it done right the first time!

    3in lift, new wheels, 33" tires and body mount chop to eliminate rubbing.  Jahaziel knocked it outta the park!

    Just got this 2018 bone stock 4runner weeks ago- Jahaziel and team worked magic! They gave it a 3" dobinsons ims lift, new wheels and bmc to fit the 285 wildpeaks. He made it such a seamless experience: ordered everything and installed with quick turnaround, answered all questions and had laser sharp communication. Honest and reasonable shop- well worth the drive from OB! Will be back!

    Checkered Automotive has become my go-to trusted mechanic for my GX460. Even though there are further south away from me and several other trusted and reputable shops closer, Jahaziel and his team have provided top-tier service and recommendations. He always takes the time to thoroughly research and inspect an issue and all possible solutions prior to contacting me to ask how he would like me to proceed with any work, even if it is something minor and well within the scope of expected work. He is a professional that has taken the time to gain an intimate understanding of several truck platforms and only does the work he knows he is capable of. He ensures that the customer is well-informed and advised during any work performed. Communicative, professional, and provide high-quality work. Work performed: Front Coils Rear Springs Rear Shocks UCA Spindle Gussets KDSS spacers / collars Adjustable track bar/Panhard PCK BMC KDSS switch Alignment 200 Mile retorque and an alignment check.

    Checkered Automotive was recommended by a friend, I checked out their website and social media accounts. Not one bad review, they drive what they sell. I dropped off my newly purchased truck for suspension lift, they walked me through different suspension systems based on my planned use. Everything worked out perfectly. Truck handles better than I drove in. Going back for more work to improve on the looks.

    Tacoma w/ Icon Stage 3 Lift

    Jahaziel does AMAZING work. I brought him an Icon stage 3 lift that I had bought second hand for my 2021 Tacoma. It was missing a few pieces/hardware, but he was able to get everything I needed and have it installed same day! He truly knows his stuff, does great quality work, at a fair price. 10/10 recommend

    Just want to give a big shout out to Jahaziel at Checkered Automotive. My second time to this spot cause he is a trusting and honest mechanic. He changed my gears last time and was very affordable and did great work. Came back this trip for a cab cut and alignment. He did awesome and I definitely will say great guy that does care about customer service. Communicative and quality work, Visit him

    I had been looking around sD for a shop that's reliable, knowledgeable and decent pricing for my 2013 gx460. The owner was straight to the point and kept good communication throughout the day. I think I'll use this shop for my over-landing needs for now on. Thanks for the service; lift kit, UPC install, rear bags replaced with lifted springs, tires and wheel installed, aligned and balanced.

    Amazing service! They installed my new Icon Suspension for a great price. Will be going back for all needs.

    Great work done! They installed new Bilstein 5100s, with new springs front and back, and air springs in the back. My suv rides a lot better and looks better. Highly recommended!!!

    Adrian S.

    I first came here because I needed a complicated alignment for my lifted 4Runner. The guys went above and beyond with the alignment and were extremely knowledgeable. I now send all my vehicles their way for various types of work. Best price, best service, and great, honest people. I can't recommend this place more. If you need your off-road rig, your daily driver, or your track car worked on, go here! I do and I never regret it.

    I wanted to lift my 2017 tacoma but I brought my own parts for install (eibach pro lift kit and icon leaf spring). I needed alignment also. Jahaziel the owner ordered upper control arms for me and he made sure he will have it on install day. Day of install, drop off your vehicle at 8:30am it will be ready around 3-4pm. Overall, the whole ordering and install went smooth hassle free. They told me also to come back to the shop after driving 150 miles to re-torque the vehicle. The labor cost is the same around other shops I got a quote from but you will get quality/clean work here. Highly recommended and I will be definitely going back here.

    Got a quick alignment and was ready for the trails

    See all

    Jahaziel the owner will explain the entire process and if you have questions afterwards he's just as communicative.

    I usually bring my Nissan Rogue to this shop for its maintenance work and repairs. They are across…read morethe street from my work, so I typically drop it off in the morning and will be ready later that day. I recently took them a project car of mine, my beloved Honda S2000 who we thought was declared dead. Luis said they were willing to check her out and take on this challenge to revive her. I must say they were successful!! They informed me it was the fuel pump and fuel injectors that needed to be replaced. They searched far and wide to find the needed parts, even thought they were more than likely obsolete. I am so grateful to Luis and his team for bringing my car back to life. Since she needed to be smogged, Luis was kind enough to take her to the smog shop next door to have her tested. He called me with the great news that she had passed smog and was ready be picked up. I am so happy to finally be driving my S2K again.

On the 3 mile drive home, the van started smoking and caught fire. The fire department was called and had to put out the fire. The car is a total loss and we are waiting to hear from our adjuster. In the meantime,Luis and his brother came to see the car at our home and have done nothing to help resolve this matter. At first they agreed to make this right, but now they refuse to give us their insurance information so that we can file a claim with their company, they refuse to refund the money we paid for the work they did on the car. They won't pay for a rental car either because we are down a car. They refuse to pay the money for our van, the urgent care visit that my husband had to go to for the burns on his right hand, and the wages for the 3 shifts of work that my husband missed due to this incident. My car was running fine prior to leaving it with Luis at R&L. My husband works for the South Bay Union School District and Luis and R&L Performance work on their trucks. I would surmise that maybe that should be reconsidered. I would not take a car to them in the future. Save yourself the frustration and aggravation. Learn from my experience.

However, my last couple of visits confirmed that I won't be returning. I spoke with Isaac on the phone the day before about picking up my truck. Imagine my surprise when I dropped off my rental and arrived to find my truck completely taken apart and not ready at all. No one called or updated me to let me know there was a delay. When I asked why I wasn't contacted, I got no response. Not to mention I dropped off my truck Monday the 19th! This was a huge waste of my time and honestly felt disrespectful. I had to scramble last minute to find transportation to work and handle my day. To make matters worse, when I finally picked up the truck, the check engine light was on -- something we had already discussed previously. PLUS my car is STILL leaking oil the main thing I bought it in for and paid for soooooo they had it for FOUR days and charged me and fixed NOTHING. Disappointed is not the word is I could give zero stars I would. Overall, very disappointing experience after what had been decent service in the past. wtfffff
