    Brought it in to have the headlights rewired
    On Blast A.

    My fiance had her GT-R lighting rewired here so that the drls and thunderbolts stay on at all times. Tim did an excellent job. I can also vouch for the work he has done on my friend's GT-R where he had the turn signal switch backs and the headlight housings done. They look excellent! He has been working on lights for years and the quality of work shows. Tim provides excellent customer service and has worked with tons of expensive cars so he knows how to treat them right. 10/10

    I had my heart set on the 2019 WRX Limited as they came with the blacked out headlights and LED C-Lights. I contacted GarageWorks SD to see if they could do something similar if I purchased a Base model instead. They told me that this could be easily accomplished with a 1 day turnaround. The following weekend, I purchased my base model haha. Well, needless to say they delivered. It came out better than expected and the C-Lights that they used are much brighter than the factory Subaru ones. Customer service is unparalleled. They even came to my home to do the work as he could hear the hesitation when they told me I could leave the car for the night. I'm mean come on, in home service?! They have definitely lived up to their reputation in regards to customer service and quality of work. Do your self a favor and contact GarageWorks SD if you need work done.

    Been putting off put off getting my car tinted until I was recommended to Ryan. Ryan is knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. Not pushy what so ever & very flexible. He made it so easy :) It was also a lot more affordable than I had thought ! I love my car even MORE now, it's so sleek on the outside, and surprisingly clear on the inside--somehow it feels like it's more clear compared to prior to the tint. And I got the ceramic, it's been pretty cold in SD so not sure how well it will keep out the heat, but I'm glad it'll help the longevity of my seats. Couldn't be happier with GarageWorks

    Professional clean work ! Tim has installed 2 different set of lights on my 2017 Mustang GT one of them being the Diode Dynamics Demon Eye Kit and the other being the Diode Dynamics LED Kit ! If you want it done right come here these guys know what they are

    Rear bumper appliqué done by Ryan

    Can't say enough good things about GarageWorks. I've known Ryan for a long time and I trust his work. From wrapping a full car, to the smallest vinyl overlay; these guys pay attention to the smallest details. Their customer service is excellent as well. I had a rear bumper appliqué done on my Subaru by Ryan and it looked great at first, but I ended up not liking the look. Ryan worked with me tweaking the design until I was absolutely satisfied. If you want quality work done, look no further. These guys do it right.

    Took my 2016 Nissan 370Z into Tim to get the headlight housing painted as well as adding RBG Dual Halos. I extremely satisfied with the quality! Tim was very honest, friendly, and a pleasure to do business with. He gave me a full walk through after the work had been completed. This shop deals with very high quality vehicles daily and you can ensure that your car is getting taken care of and you're getting what you're paying for. Highly recommend this location for anyone considering/looking for what they offer.

    Tim at Garageworks is the best! Whenever I have any new mods I always bring it to him because he does the best quality work. Their custom headlights come out looking amazing. So if you're looking to get some mods installed or custom headlights I definitely recommend you contact GarageWorks SD! Be patient if they don't reply right away. You won't regret it!

    Thank you Ryan and Tim of Garageworks for the excellent work on my roof overlay and custom headlights. The gloss black roof overlay and fin gave my car a nice touch. I was most impressed with the amber delete on my ISF headlights. They took the time to take apart my headlights and change out the ugly orange LEDs and replaced them with the cool white, along with covering up the amber lens with reflective vinyl. I recommend you check these guys out for all of your vinyl or custom headlight needs.

    Tim removed the amber reflectors in my 2012 Audi TTRS and wrapped in a very OEM looking matte black, giving me the European look I wanted without having to spend $1,500 importing headlights from Germany :) Very professional install, you can't tell the headlights were ever even opened, highly recommended.

    Came to Ryan for headlight restoration. I've had my car for 10 years and my headlights were terrible! The ease, speed, quality and cost of the restoration was great. Highly impressed and would highly recommend. My headlights are like new!

    2014 Toyota 4runner chrome delete
    Myra B.

    Attention to detail is everything!!! Ryan did an amazing job on installing my chrome delete overlays. If you have ever seen a 2014+ 4runner, you would know there are a lot of crazy curves and angles on the headlights/taillights, and Ryan made it work. He talked me through the process and made sure I was pleased every step of the way. He takes his time to make it right because he takes pride in his work. I highly recommend their services!

    Ryan was great to work with. He was fast, efficient and professional. I had my windows tinted and mud flaps installed on my Subaru. If I decide to have work done in the future, I trust Ryan to get the job done.

    Got some overlays from bluebatoverlays and they recommended I hit up Ryan to install him. Call them up and instantly got a answer from him. Got a time and date for the install. He did the install in an hour and a half for the tail lights, reflectors, and my third brake light. In an hour and a half!!! That's crazy!! Best customer service ever!! Highly recommend!!!

    Morimoto XB custom headlights, thanks again Tim!

    First off--sorry Theo and Arturo. I dropped the ball and never left a review for all the great work…read moreyou've done on my vehicles over the years. These guys are true craftsmen. They've handled front PPF, full vinyl wraps, ceramic coatings, and tint on multiple cars for me, always with outstanding attention to detail and very fair pricing for the quality of work delivered. I've gone elsewhere before and paid more, only to get inferior results. That's exactly why Monumental Workx has become my go-to. I recently purchased a 2026 Model Y Performance and initially planned for front-end PPF, a few high-impact areas, ceramic coating, and tint. I reached out to Theo through his website, did my usual due diligence with other shops, but already knew I'd likely end up back at Monumental Workx. They're not the cheapest--and they don't try to be. Quality isn't cheap, and if you want it done right, this is the place. I scheduled my appointment shortly after delivery, but ended up calling Theo the same day I took delivery to see if I could bring the car in immediately. He responded quickly and got me in right away. Once there, Arturo walked me through the options and made a great point: patchwork PPF wouldn't look as clean as a full-body PPF for only a bit more money. After thinking it over, I realized he was absolutely right--and I'm very glad I listened. Originally, I was going to go with gloss PPF, but overnight I changed my mind and decided (with my wife) to switch to stealth PPF. Thankfully, I caught them early enough, and they were super responsive in accommodating the change. I couldn't be happier with that decision--the car looks incredible, and it was worth every penny. One thing that really shows their level of care: during the PPF install, they discovered a hidden manufacturing defect in my spoiler. I would have never noticed it myself, and most shops probably wouldn't have said anything. But Arturo pointed it out immediately so I could get Tesla to replace it. Even better, once Tesla provided the replacement spoiler, Arturo personally installed it and made sure everything fit perfectly without compromising the PPF. Watching him work, it's clear he's extremely skilled and meticulous. Now everything is flawless. I could go on, but the photos don't even do the work justice. When I get my next vehicle, it's going straight to Theo and Arturo at Monumental Workx. Thanks again, guys!

    Exceptional Service, Every Single Time…read more I've honestly lost count of how many vehicles I've had done at One of One -- and that alone should tell you everything. Just had my Model X fully PPF'd and tinted, and once again, the results are absolutely flawless. What truly sets them apart (beyond the incredible workmanship) is their customer service. They greet you by name the moment you walk in -- and that kind of personal touch is rare these days. Dawn, Alex, and Andrea are warm, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented, and the install team in the back is simply next level. You can tell everyone here genuinely takes pride in their craft. The PPF application is surgically clean -- edges are perfect, panels line up beautifully, and the finish looks factory (if not better). The tint completely transforms the car, both aesthetically and functionally. Heat rejection is noticeable immediately, and the overall look is sleek, aggressive, and refined. What really separates One of One from everyone else is that they don't just install film -- they deliver craftsmanship. They use top-tier materials, but more importantly, they take the time to do things right. No shortcuts. No rushed jobs. Just precision. Pricing is more than fair for the quality of work you're getting. In vehicle protection, the real value isn't just the product -- it's the people installing it. If you care about your car and want it done properly the first time, this is the place. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

    I brought my new Lexus GX 550 in for the Ultimate Armour package (just under $5k)…read more Scheduling and drop-off were both straightforward and easy, so no complaints there. Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.
