I found these guys by chance and I am very happy/lucky that I did! I traded in my '06 hawkeye for a 2019 base wrx and the stock lights were horrendous and downright unsafe. I would have been better off using two candles taped to my front bumper! Tim installed 'Morimoto Retrofit h1' projectors as well as the 'Morimoto C-Light Switchback LEDs' on my car. The chrome interior of the lights were painted satin black and the reflector was wrapped in black reflective vinyl. He also installed a front lip on my new WRX. He was very informative about the whole process and gave his suggestions on what he thought would look good on the car. The turnaround time was ridiculously quick. In little more than 24 hours my car looked completely different and I could actually see at night! I will be back soon for window tint, side skirt installation, and anything else I need quality work for. Their prices are unbeatable and almost unbelievable! Thank you again! read more

Same location as SD wraps but definitely not same level of service. HIDs work great for a few days but then go out. They tried to fix it by changing the ballasts but didn't fix the issue. It's a huge waste of time and really frustrating to pay close to $300 and get subpar performance. I am going to take it to a reputable place and see if someone knows what the issue is. I wouldn't waste my time getting anything done with this company read more

GarageWorks SD - My troubles - Auto Customization Near Me

Called, emailed, and texted for a quote. No response at all by email. Was texted back and asked for some info about the job, got no response after 1st text. No response after the msgs I called and left. Did get a response thru Yelp saying someone would get back to me. They never did. Kept msging thru Yelp. They said they'd be responding to me today. That was over 2 weeks ago. If it's this much work to get a quote, I'm afraid it would be the same deal trying to get my job done. Update as of 8/9/19. Tim came thru for me. I went someplace else to get my headlights done. They messed up. I called Tim and he told me to bring him the lights. They were unfixable. Got him another set and he did a GREAT job! I wanted the halos setup differently (wanted to run 2 sets) and for some reason my truck wasn't happy with it. I had to come back and Tim was able to figure out the wiring. Turns out my truck has a slight voltage drop upon startup which made the halos not want to fire correctly. Tim figured out a way to get everything to work the way I wanted it to. He also replaced the HID bulbs for me. One bulb was defective from the factory, but he replaced both. Great guy and made sure I was happy with the way the setup functioned. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Sounds like its challenging to contact the business. Any advice on the best correspondence methods? I tried emailing "sales@garageworks-sd.com" but came back to my gmail as undeliverable. This is an attempt to engage the business not an actual rating for service at this time. read more

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. read more

Great company and quality work. Tim took the A4 and 2.0T emblems off the rear of my car. It looks amazing and only took him 10 mins. I received 3 quotes from other companies and they wanted between $100 and $150 to do the same thing. He did the job for $20. Thanks Tim read more

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! read more

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. read more

Made an appointment with Ryan to install red vinyl on my Subaru Impreza hatchback. I arrived on time and Ryan was ready to work which was awesome (no waiting, appointment time slot was actually kept). He gave me a window of 2 hours for the install to ensure that work was flawless; even though he was able to finish the install sooner. Ryan had good conversation so that the time spent there wasn't boring or awkward. I learned that he has 12+ years experience wrapping so I was rest assured that my car would look great afterwards. Ryan gave me his company guarantee of the install if I were to run into any issues. After learning of all services Garage Works San Diego has to offer, I quickly made another appointment for my other vehicle. Overall, I am greatly satisfied and thankful! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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.

Tim did an excellent job on the Morimoto XB headlights on my F150. All prices, including install, were more than fair for the amount of work it took to swap the stock headlights out. Install was extremely clean and professional. Appointments also worked well with my work schedule. I would certainly trust them again with any custom work on my truck. Thanks again Tim, your work is greatly appreciated!!! read more

Ryan was awesome. Helped work with an appointment on my limited schedule and got me in to do my headlights and taillights. Immediately got to work and finished within his estimated completion time.

I will definitely come back in the future for work. Highly recommended! Thanks! read more

Garage Works is a one stop shop for all your automobile needs. Ryan is the man. Very passionate about cars and takes a lot pride in his work. Whether it's a corolla or an R8, Ryan treats every car like his own. He installed the HID conversion kit into my older Honda Civic within 30 mins. Meanwhile informing me about the pros and cons of different types of bulbs used in the market. Most definitely coming back to Garage Works soon!!! read more

I sent a message trying to get a quote and set a time to get my factory lights switched over to hid. Apparently they do not want or need my business since nobody bothered to answer me. Hopefully they work on cars better than they communicate with new customers. read more

Ryan is great! I've been coming to him for various work on my evo for 5+ years now. The black vinyl roof wrap that he installed is still in pretty good condition after all these years even though it was parked outside a lot. The same goes for the 3M DiNoc carbon fiber wrap on my car's lip and various interior pieces. Aside from the quality vinyl work he does, the prices are very competitive or even cheaper than other businesses who do similar work. read more

Ryan did an excellent job installing a pair of taillight overlays. I bought the overlays locally on bluebatoverlays and was recommended to get them installed by him since I messed up trying it myself. Ryan is a cool guy to talk to and his years of experience with wraps definitely does show! Had the overlays installed on a 2018 wrx with 20% tint. read more

I wanted to upgrade the lights in my Lexus and Ryan was very helpful in educating me about the differences between HIDs and LEDs. He was very responsive to questions and was worked around my extremely busy schedule with the installation appointment. After installation, the bulbs needed some adjustment (sometimes happens with these kits) and he drove 45 minutes to my house to do the adjustment, at 9 pm at night- now that's service!!! His service charge was very reasonable too. read more

Besides good customer service, i was very dissapointed in the work done to my 08 Lexus is250. I had the demon conversion done and it was poorly installed. Only one side works and was supposed to illuminate multiple colors. I also had my ballast replaced, though i was not charged for them in the end because they didnt work i seen the wiring job was very choppy after bringing to another mechanic. Overall, i got painted headlights, with looks to be heat damaged lenses, and a malfunctioned demon eye set up for 550.00. I feel ripped off and angry that so many other customers had good experiences and i got crap. Im very dissapointed and will never do business with his shop and the associated shop they work through. read more

Ryan was very helpful and helped install some new headlights that I had been trying to get installed for awhile.

Highly recommend Garageworks! read more

This is my first time to write a review in Yelp! Garageswork is a good place to go retrofit headlight and install a good quality of HIDs. The owners, Ryan and Tim, are very professional.
