Absolutely blown away with the work on my 2023 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Had a 5.29 re-gear done and the difference is night and day. The truck feels way more responsive, shifts smoother, and finally drives the way it should with bigger tires. The team was super knowledgeable, kept me updated throughout the process, and delivered everything on time. You can tell they take pride in their work and pay attention to the details. No weird noises, no issues -- just clean, solid work. If you're thinking about re-gearing your Tacoma, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! read more

Do not use this company! I re-geared my rig and it's not been the same since I spent nearly$4,000 to get 4:88 front and rear with Eaton Trutrac. Now I can't get into 4L. Took back 3 times and it still not right! They broke my steering stabilizer too! When I spoke to the owner (Carlos), letting him know I would be getting BAR involved if he didn't make it right, he simply said, "go ahead"! Be warned. read more

I went 37" tires on my Jeep Wrangler JK and I'll be honest, at first I didn't feel I needed to re-gear my Jeep but after putting the 37" tires on, I felt my Jeep straining the transmission and it was difficult to get momentum on speed so I decided to re-gear to 4.88. Let me tell you, the difference is night and day, it has more torque and can speed up without exertion. It made a world of difference. Premier West Gears did an excellent job, they gave me kind and professional service, and they were great at explaining the process and why it was important to do the job. Not only was it quality work but also affordable. I definitely recommend Premier West Gears for this job and I will be taking my Jeep back to them to get other work/upgrades done to it! read more

Great customer service and solid work! Miguel is the man. The team here all seems nice and they get the work done in a timely matter

I had an appointment today at 0830am and was told over the phone that my car would be ready by 0230pm. The shop didn't touch it until 0200pm and I waited until about 0700pm to get my car back. The mechanics might have done a good job, which hopefully I will find out later, but the front desk left a bitter experience with this installation not starting on time and lasted more time than it should have. A discount to make up for the valuable time wasted would have been better than excuses and an apology. Poor customer expectations management (with an appointment) and maybe a good job...disappointed! Note: They tell me they will install Rocky Road gears but installed another of their choice (Sierra Gear & Axle). read more

Fast and done a great job on my car. I would recommend them if you wanna do re gear or get your transmission fixed read more

Alec, Miguel and Carlos were awesome. Got me squared away. But everything was great, great consttumer service.

I have a 2WD 2000 Toyota Tundra SR5 that I used for years in construction and now is my dedicated Baja/Camping truck. At first the suspension was shot so I figured I would pay a tad more and upgrade. I added * OME Front Springs (2883) * Spring Insulators * ARB Driver Side 1/4" Strut Spacer/ Shim Spacer * OME 90004 Front Shocks * OME 63091 Rear Shocks Right after I was able to install larger tires. It went from stock tires (245/70/16) to 265/75/16 Nitto Ridge Grappler's that have the slightest rub at full lock to left under power (non issue for me). Last, but probably most exciting for me, I decided to add the Eaton TrueTrac. The shop was very accommodating with scheduling. I drove in early and was driving off by lunch. I've done a couple trips now and all I can say is I wish I had done this day one... 20+ years and this truck is better than ever!!! read more

Excellent, thorough and fair priced. They repaired my Dana 44HD when Jeep Doctor said he wont work on these axles. Dropped my Jeep off, they replaced all bearings and seals as well as the left axle shaft. It was ready for pick-up the next day. Four months later, I towed a car trailer with my Jeep to San Antonio, Texas. The axle worked great. Nearly 2 1/2 years later, my Jeep tows my 6000lb food trailer every day and the Dana 44HD is doing great. Premier West Gears is the best place to go for axle repairs!

Well I don't even know where to start to be honest. I took my jeep in for regear and input to replace my leaking front axle or completely replace it. After talking to Miguel we decided to replace it in lieu of repairing. I asked him specifically if they have done axle swaps and he says yep no problem...Well here is when everything starts to go bad. They get my brand new spicer 44 in and waiting on rear chromoly's so I order a set of new shocks and drop them off while we have time. So after waiting a couple more weeks I'm excited to go pick her up after dropping $10K on all This work I notice damage on a brand new $6K spicer front axle. It's bad, like too long of a bolt was used but come to find out it was a long drill bit there's tech used to widen the hole in the track arm bracket so he could get the bolt through. Mind you another shop is fixing this and I get no apologies at all. Just a pissed of owner Carlos like I did something wrong yet it was there major fault. The other shop cuts off the old bracket, welds on anew bracket and welds up the damage on a $6K axle I paid for. Miguel all you had to do was say no it's not our niche and I would have gone somewhere else. I want to know how you would feel if you dropped $10K on work that was as bad as this? I cannot believe that an owner didn't man up and say we screwed up, nothing, nada, zilch! Here are some pics for your reading pleasure. Oh and how about a castle nut on the back of that bolt because they misplaced all my other bolts and I had to wait for new hardware to be delivered!! read more

If your considering a gearing change do yourself a a huge favor and call Miguel at Premier West Gears. I called and had a lot of questions and Miguel took the time to answer everything I asked. He never seemed bothered or rushed which is nice nowadays plus, after the first time we spoke a few days later I had a few more questions and he answered those with patience as well. Had 5.29's put in my Tacoma with a new lift and 33's. When I mentioned I wanted 4.88's Miguel recommended the 5.29s instead and I'am COMPLETLY satisfied!! NO MORE gear hunting and a little better gas mileage as well. Had the transfer case fluid changed at the same time for a little extra cost but they even rotated my tires for no charge. read more

Carlos, Miguel and the boys at Premier West took care of my 2020 ZR2 Bison. Previous owner had another shop regear it to 4.10s and by the time I bought the truck, the pinion bearings were shot and the ring gears were already showing some pitting on the face of the teeth. They were able to reset preload and pinion depth with a new Yukon bearing and crush sleeve kit before the gears completely ate themselves. They also pointed out that the previous shop bent the pins on the rear locker plug, then went ahead and fixed it no charge. So, now I've got a quiet truck with working lockers! These guys are pros and reasonably priced. These dudes ripped into both diffs and had me back on the road same day. I cant recommend these guys enough. I'll be heading back there when I'm ready for 4.56s. Thanks again guys! read more

Outstanding!!!! They did my gears and it was super quick! Super helpful dudes! Would recommend get your gears done here!

Excellent service and great prices. Close by nice people. I highly recommend premium west gears for all your gear work

I picked this shop based on their Yelp review. I dropped off a Chevy 10 bolt 8.2 rear end to be completely rebuilt. Initially told 7-10 days. Communication was poor, called several times after the 10 days and was told I would receive a call back that never came. After a month I called and was told it was ready. I arrived and they delivered me the rear tire end without any axles. Staff searched the shop and I was told they threw the axles away and the warehouse did not have any locally. I cut ties and bought my own axles. Seems like they have too much work and lack quality control. read more

Excellent communication, customer service, and quality of work. Highly recommend Premier West Gears.

Quote for differential oil change was reasonable BUT they would not use factory OEM oil. Claims there's is better. Oh really ? I trust my German brand. Maybe there quote was lower because the OEM oil alone was more then price of there quote. ? Sales rep on phone was polite. I saw your nice response but the sales rep did not give me that option read more

Amazing customer service!! Price to low compare to other shops, great communications! And great people! highly recommendation!

Premier gears company helped me get back on the road in no time. They were communicative and easy to work with.

Yo. I got gears & rear locker now. If you know me you know me. I recommend these dude's. Stand up guys. They went above & beyond for my truck. 2017 4runner SR5 4x4. They installed my rear links from Core4x4 and took care of the issues I had with the Johnny Joints coming apart. Off Road Community be the best people. read more

Read a bunch of great things about these guys and I completely agree with em! They did 4.88's on my gladiator and I couldn't have chosen anyone better, Miguel even went above and beyond to help me out with programming. Great dudes! read more

Had my 8.8 diff regeared from 3.55 to 3.08 and Miguel suggested Ford performance gears I also inquired about a Torsen Posi-Traction carrier over the Track-Lock since the clutch packs wear out Miguel suggested the Grip-Pro Max unit.Freakin' Awesome the traction is phenomenal and the handling going up and down the mountain improved 100% now I don't have to shift as much and the new Carrier makes the tires Bite Hard.Very happy with the same day service When the work and it's results are this Good makes the investment worth while....Thanks Premier West read more

Horrible experience with Miguel ! Wasted my time Clearly stated the tool came in Friday. Now being told the tool they needed arrived Monday. And the car hasn't been looked at. The whole car was here 13 days and all of a sudden they don't really work on Range Rovers. This is completely something Miguel didn't say over the phone when I first spoke to him. After the 13th day I decided to go there to see what they were actually doing with the car. I show up to see my car outside, unlocked just sitting there. Miguel tells me that they are busy due to hoists and other jobs that backed them up, and I can hang out until around 3pm to see if it can be repaired or not. Going by what he said i waited around, and the car has not moved again. He didn't know what to say and can barely look me in the eye. Wasted my time twice driving 1 hour each way (4 hours of just driving with a secondary car), and 2 tows getting to and from. Miguel has given this place a trash reputation as liars, and I really hope they learn their lesson by telling people the truth. I never asked for a deal, never was rude. I have $150,000 car and can afford the repairs. I truly hope they either tell people the truth on taking a job on or just go out of business. Update : Posted this review as I am waiting to tow the vehicle away. Owner Carlos coming out to tell me "you could have at least waited to post your f***ing review" Well what did you expect? That's what reviews are for. Whether it's good or bad, you have to take them as they come. Put yourself in your customers shoes and how would you feel if this happened to you or your family. Plus if your mad be mad at Miguel for lying he has a tool when he didn't just say the truth evidence is there for everyone to see read more

Hands down, best place to get your truck re-geared. They gave me a time frame and were actually finished quicker than they had told me, that's with also installing a e-locker. read more

Miguel and the entire crew are super easy to work with. Had 5.29 gears installed on the 2023 Tacoma. Made an appointment and was in and out of there in less than 4hrs.

Super professional, top notch customer service, prices can't be beat, and the quality of work they do is excellent. read more

Family owned business who are the best at what they do and that's Gears!! Awesome people and even better prices! Crazy to think the most renowned gear shop in So Cal was $800 less then what I was quoted in hesperia! Now keep in mind these guys are crazy busy so getting in touch maybe difficult or being put on hold is gonna be common BUT they will call you back and they will answer AND it will indeed be worth every minute of your time!!! So have some patience! These guys hammered out the rear gears in my Tacoma due to the previous owner having them installed incorrectly.
