David and all the wonderful people at the PAD were so knowledgeable and helpful and gave full transparency on what they were doing. This locally owned mom-and-pop shop gives affordable and gets things done right and gets them done fast. They'll run you through your options and they'll keep your budget in mind every step of the way. They helped me out on a major way when my serpentine belt was running down and my radiator hoses needed to be replaced. David was even able to grab me OEM parts in a timely manner and gave me quite the deal. I'm looking forward to using Preferred Auto Design on my next project and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a look at their car. Thanks David and everyone at Preferred Auto Design, y'all are the best!! read more

My Toyota had front passenger side damage and needed a whole new headlight set, rim cover, side mirror, passenger side door undented and adjusted to be able to open, also needed new suspension parts and work done. PAD kept me updated thru it all, worked with my insurance (who estimated it could take 3-4 weeks) and PAD got my car back to me in 2-3weeks even with a major holiday in the midst of it. When I picked it up, my car looked brand new and shiny, inside and out! I couldn't believe it was mine, the little prius even looked taller! I drove it around, city and hwy, no issues arose. Thank you to David and PAD crew for taking care of my bb. I truly appreciate the beautiful work. I don't know about cars but it makes me want to learn how to take care of mine and treat her as well as PAD did. Cost 7k, and came back looking like a diamond. read more

Took my néw Mercedes Benz 2021 to David from a friend referral. Least to say he sprayed in my engine that I found out after I tried to sell my car to Nissan deal ship. Also used the wrong type of paint so that cost me $5,800. This dude is cheap. Don't go to this man for nothing. He blocked me and now he thinks I'm not gonna see him. Thanks David for messing up my new car. Also I clarified if he has ever done 2021 Mercedes snd he said yea which was a total lie. SCAMMER!!! I'll see you soon Also that chip in the video is from his cheap paint he put on my car. My AC also sounds like hissing every second from the spraying in the engine I think. Well that's what the dealership said. . Screw you david read more

There aren't words to describe the level of care and attention to detail I received from David and his team. Having never been involved in a collision repair scenario, I had no idea what to expect. The process with insurance, estimates, car rental, and so on, was all new to me. Luckily for me, I had very little to hassle with thanks to David. He handled it all. he was able to maximize the value of my claim, and took the time to explain everythin. The dude is a miracle worker, and is so down to earth. I swear he bought a new truck and swapped the plates. Still in shock. read more

Excellent customer service has almost become a thing of the past. We consumers have grown accustomed to sub-par customer service especially when it comes to mechanics, car services, or anything for that matter that is a "In need-will pay $$ for, service".. For all of us that own a car (99.9% of ppl living in L.A.) we all know that when we desperately need car repairs, detailing, or a new car we crawl at the mercy of the dealership, seller, or mechanic.. In the moment of naive, loathing, "help me out man" we get up-sale'd on air filters, wipers, "special editions", transmission cleanings or whatever else "services" our cars need. This is why I'm always leery about going to someone new for car services and even take friend referrals with a grain of salt. This is why, when a friend of mine referred me to P.A.D. for window tinting I was a little skeptical. My friend, who has been the type to talk me out of impulse buys, week-long cheat meals, and drinks that are too expensive (which I still don't think exists if alcohol is involved) is a friend that I feel has my best interests. Which is why I went with their advice when they suggested to get my work car windows tinted by P.A.D. Upon first phone conversation, I could tell the owner David was a person who cared about customer service and the quality of his work. My work schedule can be hectic and he took the time to text/call to coordinate a time that worked with my schedule. He also notified me that a contractor he works with would be coming to my location to perform the tint, but that he would personally check-in to ensure the job was done right. When he came by, he was personable, friendly, and explanatory of his business and the quality he is striving for. It always gives me a bit of hope when a company owner actually goes above and beyond the call of duty and provides excellent customer support. Needless to say, I was very pleased with my window tint and can now drive around town without melting in the magnifying glass of a car with no tint. Bonus, I also don't have to live with the shame of a person who stuff my face in my car, picks my nose, or sings my heart out because now a tad bit more privacy.. sweet! Anyway, I was very impressed with the David's customer service, work ethic, and honesty. I will definitely call P.A.D. for any other car services in the future. A++ read more

I had an accident on the freeway that left my car in need for some repairs and recently moved to this area. I live in the neighborhood next door to this shop so I stopped by with my car and talked to David who was extremely helpful and knowledgable about the whole process. I felt safe leaving my vehicle in his hands. He was very responsive through out the repair period when I had any questions. When my car was completed I was in shock with how new it looked. David and his team went above and beyond. Before I gave him my car he assured me that he and his team were going to take care of me and he was not wrong. Not only did he repair the damages I asked for but he also took care of a few other scratches here and there. My car was also given back washed and detailed. Even when I popped the hood, I was shown that even my engine was completely cleaned up. I feel like the last time my car had looked this good was when I bought it off the lot. Thank you David and everyone from Preferred Auto Design! read more

Great experience working with David of Preferred Auto Design.

I won a raffle for tint of my rear windows. In addition I had my front windows tinted. I didn't know what to expect, but from the first contact with David, the owner, I was impressed.

I discovered he has restored a 68 Mustang which I have and want restored (eventually ). The tint looks wonderful. I am so happy! I would recommend PAD to everyone. read more

Ok, I'm a little late but had to follow through with a review. David and the guys at PAD are great. Several weeks ago I contacted them regarding a lift for my 2006 Tundra. David was incredibly accommodating with my work schedule, wheel and tire requests and when I came to install, they exceeded my expectations. Not only did they expedite the install, they went above and beyond by adding a few extras to really solidify the look I was going for. Quality work, great customer service and an enthusiastic staff. Thank Dave and PAD, customer for life. read more

Buying a car is probably one of my least favorite things to do. Period. I'd rather stub my toe on a coffee table...you get the point. David helped me gain the confidence and knowledge to handle the entire ordeal. His expertise of the auto industry is outstanding. The recommendations on SUVs tailored to our families needs was spot on. He saved us $$$ and hours of our precious family time. Giving him a call is a tool you must have in your belt when purchasing a vehicle! Otherwise...you'll be repeatedly stubbing your toe on that coffee table :) read more

I met Dave through a friend and he did not disappoint. He's very punctual, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! He is not the average sales man. He goes above and beyond to help his clients. I have already referred him to friends who have also had a good experience with him. Looking forward to doing business with him again ! read more

What can I say, David is great! I admit, I tend to dislike car stuff in general. However, David has been very helpful with easing my anxiety with the car selling and car buying processes. Since initially being referred to Preferred Auto Design by my husband, I've worked with David for my car needs on two occasions. On the first occasion, I reached out to David to see if he was interested in taking my old college car, a broken down Honda Civic, off of my hands. It had been sitting in the driveway for months, and I was just too busy (and honestly dreaded) to really put energy into trying to sell it myself. David offered me a fair price, took care of all the paperwork, fixed it up and sold it to someone who would appreciate it. From that point I took an interest in David's ability to find used cars of good quality, restore them and sell them for very reasonable prices. I made a mental note to reach out to him again when on the search for a vehicle for myself. Fast forward to just about a month ago. The second occasion working with David was pretty unique. My family and I decided to move across country from California to Georgia and, with that, we've been on a pretty tight budget. However, we are also in need of an additional vehicle that will fit the needs of our family of 5. Not knowing much about our new area, we decided it would be a good idea to reach out to the trusted David again. We provided David with details regarding our budget as well as the features we would prefer in the vehicle (economical, safe, reliable, third row option, etc). David provided excellent tips and recommendations in return. He was also open to hearing my objections, as well, meaning he didn't try to push me into purchasing vehicles I felt uncomfortable with. He was very conscious about helping us stay in budget as he helped with searching for used car gems on our behalf. He even went above and beyond by researching and narrowing down best deals for cross-country shipping costs and looking at the DMV process and fees when registering a car in a new state. David was very patient and considerate throughout the entire process. At the end of everything, we decided to put the cross-country car search on hold temporarily. Even though we didn't purchase a car through David, working with him provided me with something priceless; a gained confidence in navigating the used car-buying experience; particularly looking for used cars through private party sellers. When my family gets more on our feet, I will reach out to David once more for his input when I go on the car hunt. I now consider him my mechanic consultant and will trust his weigh-in when determining which used car to purchase. Thanks David! read more
