    They did a great job with painting my brake calipers on my Porsche Cayenne. Very happy with the way they turned out, looks like they came like that from the factory. Amazing quality and price! I highly recommend working with Arson and his team.

    ~ Wrapped Matte Purple Tesla S ~
    Sandy N.

    Interested in a wrap or tint job for your car??? Then look no further..cuz Arson & his crew at Dependable Guys are HANDS DOWN the kings of car glow up! I know because not only have I had my Tesla X wrapped matte black, but my dad loved the quality work sooo much that he came back to have Arson hook him up with his custom matte purple wrap on his Tesla S. I even commissioned the guys to paint my brake calipers red to give me the added oomph, sporty completed look for my ride and to say I love the results is an understatement, because I'm OBSESSED with my car. I get compliments on it all the time and for the competitive and fairly price of everything, the value and quality was worth it..100%!!! Turn around time was about 3-4 days, which was on point. I highly recommend this shop for your car customizing needs and definitely will come back for work on my future cars. Thank me laters!

    2026 GR Supra Final Edition

    Arsen did my 2026 GR Supra final edition in full matte ppf Inozetek. My car came in a special color burn out (matte white) and I wanted to keep it OEM looking like if there wasn't any ppf on it. Arsen and his team delivered and did an excellent job. Arsen is super friendly, knowledgeable, has competitive prices, and a friendly dog at the shop. I had a small issue with the sensors giving an error but Arsen was a quick text away and told me to stop by the shop to fix it immediately. Overall I would definitely recommend Dependable guys.

    I was referred to these guys by a friend and shopped around quite a bit before choosing them. They were easily the most responsive and professional out of everyone I contacted. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. They were honest, upfront, and clearly take pride in their work. They estimated the job would take about three hours but finished in closer to two, and the quality was top-notch. What really stood out was their integrity. I originally wanted PPF just on the front of my car, but instead of pushing the sale, they explained it might not look right due to possible color variation. They even brought out a sample and tested it on my car to show me why. They could have taken my money and moved on--but they didn't. That level of honesty is rare. I'll absolutely be back for my other cars and will be recommending them to friends and family without hesitation.

    I was referred to Dependable Guys by a friend of the family. I took my new Rivian down to get windows tinted and some emblem and window chrome blackout. The service and end result were outstanding. Pricing was very fair. Arson made me feel like I was his #1 customer. I highly recommend the Dependable Guys team if you have any auto vehicle vinyl needs.

    Chrome peaking through
    Hanna M.

    Nice guys, but I wouldn't say dependable. They did not answer my call but texted instead, which is understandably preferred by some. I sent over photos of my car and of course whoever I was texting said it was no problem to tint and chrome delete. I had to double text to confirm my appointment, which already seemed unprofessional. When dropping off my car, the person who was there was again, nice, but didn't seem to know what was going on. I know, I should have seen the red flags. Got a text later in the day stating that my car was ready. The tint was great, the chrome delete... not so much. There was peeling, bubbles, and chrome peaking through in various spots. After pointing them out, they said no problem, 10 more minutes. I didn't want to rush them but they tried anyway. "Actually, the person who did it isn't here anymore and it's better if they re-did it." Luckily I had some time the next day to bring it by and they said it'd take about 20 min. They tried again. Still saw some trouble spots. "The way your car is made, it's difficult to get into certain spots without messing up the car. But we'll try again." "We're not making excuses." To make up for it, they gave me an "extended warranty," which is worthless because the business owner literally told me they can keep trying but it would make it worse. I asked if they needed more time, but he said it wasn't an issue of time. They blame the car, the same car that I sent them a photo of in the beginning. I chose this place due to the initial convenience, however it looks like sometimes it's better to go out of your way for a good experience.

    I've been going to Dependable Guys and working with Arson for years now, and honestly I wouldn't trust my cars with anyone else. Over 15+ vehicles done between tint, wheels, and wrap work every single time the quality is on point. I've referred 100+ friends over the years and everyone has always been happy, no exceptions. I'm extremely picky when it comes to my cars, and that's exactly why I keep coming back. If you're even thinking about going somewhere else, don't. These guys are the real deal.

    Put full stealth PPF and ceramic on my new M3. This is the third car they've done for me over the past 4 years, and, as always, the job is impeccable. No seams or edges showing. Beautiful work. Couldn't be happier. Arsalan and everyone else at the shop are great guys and the prices are more than reasonable for the quality of work being done. Check out their Instagram for examples of the amazing work Dependable Guys does.

    Absolutely amazing powder coat silver!
    Lorie Ann R.

    Arson at DG's went above and beyond to make sure we found the perfect shade for powder coating my dad's Tesla Y rims. He was gracious with his time, kept his word on pricing, and worked hard to make sure we were satisfied with the final product and service. His team was incredible as well, super talented and they got the job done ahead of schedule. It's clear that Arson and his team take great pride in their work. We went from matte black to a chrome-like finish. Absolutely fantastic service & outcome -highly recommend!

    Full body ppf, ceramic coat and black roof top
    Jessica C.

    Dipendable Guys are sooo dependable! Took my Lexus RCF to get full body ppf, ceramic coat and a black roof top. These guys did a great job in a tight time crunch while working on other cars. Customer service is on point and they were very patient with me since it was my first time getting all this work done on my car. Thank you team and Arson for taking good care of me

    2 of the 5
    Ryan S.

    I've had five of my vehicles wrapped by them. Three done in vinyl and two in PPF. All five turned out great! The job quality was top notch and they finished all the jobs in less time than I expected. The price was also much better than other shops that gave me quotes. One of the cars had a bumper replaced a few months after I got it wrapped. I took it in and the guys rewrapped it on the spot.

    I got a ceramic tint, ppf wrap, and rims powder coated and I could not be happier with all of it. Really cool team, they have a specialist for every area, and they explained the process and provided updates without asking. This was a high quality investment. If you're not sure if they do what you're looking for just ask, chances are they will at least have a reference.

    I'd like to get my stock rims coated on a Tesla Model 3, but it has some curb rash. Can this place buff it out or should I replace/fix at another place before coming here to coat them?

    Not the business owner but yes they'll need to buff it out before powder coating. I had dropped off my 19 inch Model Y wheels with a ton of scratches from the hub caps. They completely buffed it out when they powder coated it.

    How much would the cost be to wrap a 2022 bmw 330i with a satin dark gray vinyl wrap?

    2022 Lucid. Window tinting, windshield +glass roof as one piece with 3M film tinting do you offer?

    Yes they did. Got my lucid back yesterday and couldn't be happier. I did whole tinting. Tinting without sunroof is $750 and if sunroof included, the price will be $1400 because of the one big concave glass which is harder to work than Tesla.

    Yes they are.

    How much to Plasti-Dip an e36 bmw matte black? The car, not the wheels?

    Hi there it would run around $750

    I️ was wondering what the estimate would be to dip a 2002 Lexus is300? Any response is greatly appreciated.

    Hi there to dip a Lexus IS your looking at 650 for basic colors and can go up in price depending on finish and color.

It's conveniently super closer to where I live and the rating made me choose this place. I inquired on pricing on installing an exhaust piece and an oil change through Yelp and the business replied very quickly. Not long after I received my quote for the service and was pleased with the pricing. I made the appointment and I happened to drop it off a day prior since I ended up having free time. Later in the evening I received a text notification that the car was ready! I was surprised at how fast everything was completed. An awesome thing about the shop is they even have after hours pickup. There's a lock box outside where your keys will be kept in and you'll receive a combination for the specified box. The inside of the building is super clean and the waiting area is spacious, with couches and a bar style sitting area. Service was excellent. Josh was my point of contact in the beginning and Nick was the person who collected payment and provided me with the keys. I highly recommend this place for your automotive needs!

    The photos show the lazy job I had received. I take full…read moreaccountability for not replying when I first said I would. However, I followed up a couple weeks later asking if a certain date worked. I even explained that I had been busy and said the only time I'd have to bring in the car would be the following week. I paid $450 for this wrap and an extra $100 for the wrap itself. When the first job was done poorly, I went back to the shop to address the issues and they said they would fix it. I texted on a Tuesday expecting a response, and I waited until Sunday to follow up again. Instead of Lisa taking accountability, she told me I "did not reach out," which is extremely unprofessional and untrue. I had apologized for being busy, and I did reach out; she just did not respond. When I reminded her the job was poorly done and how there had been no response, she took zero accountability and tried to use my words against me. Lisa ignored my response when I explained how the situation should have been handled and how she failed to reply in a professional manner. As the customer, I should not have to teach someone how to treat me correctly or how to run a shop professionally. I wasn't trying to start problems; I stated the truth about the situation, but she did not like that. I went back because I had already paid and just wanted the work corrected. I dropped my car off again on Monday around 11:30am. The shop texted me claiming the wrap "wouldn't adhere," which I knew was an excuse. I told them to proceed because the material was fine, and if they couldn't install it, that was their shop's error. The rest of my car's wrap was perfectly fine. To double-check, I contacted the previous shop, who confirmed this shop was making excuses, saying, "The wrap sticks just fine. It sticks on the rest of your car fine. They're talking nonsense." I knew they no longer wanted to service me, and I no longer wanted their service either. I paid a good amount of money for this treatment. I made sure the job would get done. The shop told me the job would be done by Wednesday late afternoon. This was the second time they confirmed a deadline and failed to meet it. I made it clear from the start that I have a busy schedule and cannot afford delays, yet they did not respect that. Removing and rewrapping a front bumper is a 1-2 day job, it is not like I was asking to wrap half the car. I set a boundary that if it was not ready by 5pm Wednesday, as they confirmed, I would request a refund. My whole car was wrapped, had parts added, brakes caliper color change, and badges blacked out in about a week. I took it to another shop before taking it here. (Dependable Guys in Santa Ana) I am not a professional, but I am not stupid. There were no photo updates either, I had to ask for them. When they finally sent a picture, the wrap looked freshly slapped on two days after I dropped the car off. The day I dropped it off, they said the wrap did not adhere. It looked like my car sat there for two days until I asked for the photo, or it took them two days to remove a month old wrap and throw on one big piece lol.. My car is a small sedan, a CLA, not a supercar or SUV. Her words were: "Ok we will remove all the wrap and give you your money back. Come and pick it up today." She added, "You are demanding the refund so come get it. We cannot accommodate the time frame for you. Thank you we will be gone by 5 so please make it in time so we can process the refund." However, Mark (the installer) had reached out to me and told me him and his co worker would come into work early to finish the job. This was the second time they broke their own deadline, and instead of taking accountability, she tried to flip it back on me. Lisa took everything personally when this situation should have been handled with professionalism. I never asked them to remove my wrap; I just wanted the job done properly. The installer Mark was professional, but Lisa was disrespectful, dismissive, and extremely immature in how she handled the situation. I told them to leave the wrap and keep the money. This was their mistake, which took up the free time I rarely have. Even after I explained my situation, reminded them of prior mistakes, and was patient with the delays, they still couldn't get the job done on time. I didn't want or need the money back; I needed my car back lol. It was clear they didn't take me seriously, and I was forced to escalate this further, which she didn't like either. This was waste of time and caused unnecessary stress. I was frustrated because I had to deal with unprofessional and immature behavior. All I got were excuses, missed deadlines, and poor communication. This business does not stand on its word or its service. Don't bring your car here. Many shops in OC offer far better service and professionalism. I recommend Dependable Guys in Santa Ana! It turns out the wrap sticks just fine and clearly they were making excuses... 3 weeks no issues.

There are many body shops in the area surrounding RAC, but RAC is a diamond in the rough, and my time was completely wasted until I dealt with RAC. When I arrived at the shop, I had arranged a time where I would work with Sean to repair my car, and Sean told me he could repair the damage seamlessly within 3 to 4 days. Given the far more expensive cars being worked on at RAC, they assured me and left me with the feeling that I would receive the same level of care and attention to detail the more expensive cars would receive on my car. I have heard horror stories about body shops damaging cars and rushing through jobs, but RAC is incredible. The communication throughout the entire process was superb. The price for the work was fair, and given the level of attention to detail and work I received, I do not regret one penny or ever taking my car to RAC. I will not hesitate to recommend or take my car to this shop for any body shop needs. The repair to my car is seamless, and I can't tell any damage had happened to my car.
