    Mods installed

    Came here and dropped off my car in the morning to have some mods installed. They had finished by afternoon and everything came out as expected. The cost was actually less than what I was quoted which is a bigger plus. There was issues with a front splitter I wanted to install and they informed me about it for my decision on it. Needless to say, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Also super friendly security!

    Look how clean it is. Motorsports grade install.

    Do I recommend this business? Yes. I think Kiet at project import should run for mayor! This shop is the real deal. When you are ready to get work done. Project import is the shop to highly consider. They took a my supercharger installation to heights I never thought was even possible. Great team that loves what they do.

    Exceptional auto care for my Baja. I had a few mechanical issues which they diagnosed and fixed. Along with normal maintainence needs my truck is in great hands. If you are into racing thats their specialty. Their expertise goes way beyond my car needs but I trust the care they provide

    It's been quite awhile since I've done any type of modding on a car. So finding a reputable shop was also a journey. I finally landed on Project Import and got to chatting with John about some exterior mods to my Honda Accord Hybrid. They were patient and highly knowledgeable, which assured me that I picked the right shop. When I arrived to drop off the car. Kit was awesome. Easy to talk to and listened to some specific changes that I needed. Overall experience with Project Import was fantastic and will be looking to reach out to them again for suspension and wheel install in the near future.

    I was recommended to Project Imports for my FRS maintenance. The staff was very proper and realistic on every level. Top Quality Service.

    Took my car here because it was making no boost. Left it here half the day. They told me my turbo was broken and the inside wheel had broken the welds and was disconnected from the outside wheel. So I drove it home and yesterday I removed my turbo and in the process found one of my hoses disconnected on my boost controller. Took my turbo completely off and it is not broken and functioning as normal. They obviously didn't look very good at my turbo or didn't see my boost controller was disconnected. Will not be going back here again. Changed from 1 star to 3 star based on your response and honesty.

    Project import totally killed it on the service I needed. They do the best work out of any shop I have ever been to. Super knowledgeable employees that are willing to help you out with any question you may have. They're customer service is top notch. Cuban kept in contact with me constantly with what was going on, time frames, prices, and if they recommend something should be replaced since they have everything torn apart and would save money and time in the long run. Can't speak highly enough about this place. You won't understand until you go there. I will def be back for future service and I will refer everybody here.

    I went to this company to save myself time since they provided a few different services I needed for suspension modifications I wanted, and because they seemed knowledgable and friendly when I first met them. Neither have proved to be completely true and I've spent alot of time and money for a pretty disappointing result. My first clue should have been when it took three visits for them to drill an access hole for my coilovers that actually worked. THREE TIMES FOR A HOLE! They clearly were not checking their work and that proved to be true in the end when I asked them to adjust a front suspension component to a new position and they installed it back the exact same way as before. They were adamant that I was wrong. I showed them an email thread that showed in writing that there was no other explanation other than they had actually made the mistake. I was always polite in this process and kept offering ways to make this right, but they stopped responding to emails or phone calls. Then I remembered them bragging when I first went in about how they do this with customers when they are upset: they just ghost them. Really immature. That forced me to take even more of my time to call my credit card company and dispute the last service charge from them. So even more money now to fix their mistake and go over all the work they did because, honestly, I'm not sure I trust the work they did given the two obvious mistakes they made on two simple items in this process, and their failure to even acknowledge one of them. You may be good with them if it all goes well and you don't ever hurt their feelings by talking about a mistake, but why chance it. My response to their comments on my original review: So again you prove that details get missed by you and your shop. The top hats can be in one of 4 positions as I explained to you in my emails, not 3. Did you read the emails? Don't think so since it's all explained there. I believe your intent is good and you did take responsibility for taking 3 times to get a hole correct. It's just that those details and the email chain I sent to you, that you continue to refuse to acknowledge, confirm that you did make a mistake and put the top hat back in the original position. Take a look at the picture and see what my child noticed right away, that the wheel is jammed to the back and rubs. That's how it went out of the alignment shop. The same ones who are verifying that your story about the top hats is correct. They are missing a few details as well! Again, meaning well but missing the mark. As for your offer to adjust the top hats for free, well that email must have been lost along with the other you sent when all this problem started. Never got it. Not in the spam folder or anywhere so not sure about your claim either. Also not going to pay for an alignment at the same shop again anyhow as you can see why. My response to your edit: Seriously, you should stop while you're ahead. You keep confirming the fact that you miss details and confuse information, then are set on it being fact. This has been my problem getting this situation resolved. There is no 100% caster position in the top hat as you are claiming!!!! You either didn't read my email or the ones with the manufacturer or skimmed them and assumed you understood. YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND ARE TOO STUBBORN TO EVEN REALIZE THAT! Again, I believe you mean well but it's clear who is missing the details and confusing information: you. So when you say you followed my detailed instructions and set it up as I asked, I think your own statements here have confirmed twice here alone where the problem is. Maybe that's what happened with the emails you said you sent to me, offering to work this out, that never arrived: sent to the wrong person or not at all?! Maybe they went to the same place my two unanswered voicemails went to when I was at the end of this and asked asked for a call back to resolve this matter over the phone. No more edits or additions for me now. Wasted enough of my time with this and your company. The consumer can read and decide for themselves if they want to chance it with this kind of blind stubbornness.

    Two ding/chip marks. How it happened, I have no clue.

Arson is such a dope person--super humble, clearly knows his craft, and genuinely passionate about what he does. This is more than just a business to them, and you feel that immediately. I originally planned on shopping around and checking out other shops, but after my first chat with them, I didn't need to call anyone else. Pricing was an amazing deal--straightforward, fair, and no BS. They really work with you, walk through the details, and help find the best options for your budget without cutting corners. The team walked me through everything they did, step by step, and the results speak for themselves. I had PPF installed, gloss-black PPF wrap, blacked-out badging, tint, and gloss-black coated rims--absolutely flawless work. Superb craftsmanship. I'll definitely be bringing my Emira back to this team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, professionalism, and people who genuinely care about the work they put out.

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.

From the initial messaging thru yelp about their services and pricing - not only were they responsive in responding back but almost mindful and giving you some grace when the scheduled time moves last minute. The materials they used, the workmanship, and the attention to the smallest detail is second-to-none that it's no wonder car people go to their shop for ppf/tint/detail work. Allen will work around your budget as well and understands the investment that a customer puts in to their vehicle. He treats you more than a customer - but rather a friend that you once had a few drinks with. I've always believed in the saying buy once, cry once.. but with Allen and his team, you get more than what you paid for and the results bring nothing but smiles knowing it was done meticulously.

Leo deserves a shoutout for the communication. He walked me through the options, broke down what I actually needed vs what was overkill, and kept me in the loop the whole time my car was in the shop. No vague "it'll be ready when it's ready" runaround. Always quick to reply too. Allen is a beast. he clearly takes pride in what he does. Both cars came out spotless, clean PPF edges, no bubbles in the tint, no dust trapped anywhere. You can tell he's the kind of guy who'd rather take an extra hour than hand back something he's not 100% happy with. If you've got a nice car and you're anywhere in OC, just go see these guys. Won't be my last visit.

    This review will be for both the body shop in Orange, and their performance shop in Irvine…read more I was rear ended and was recommended by my BMW and Porsche friends to come and use them. Insurance was covering, so price really wasn't an issue dor me. They aren't cheap, but they do amazing work. Turn around time was laid out in front of me, and they met the goal. It was a LONG process (read 1.5 months); if I didn't have a provided rental it may have affected my rating, but I did have one. Everything with the insurance process, getting me to/from the rental location, communication with me and the adjustor, and workmanship were all top notch. Ran into some issues on first attempt at a pick up, but they rectified it with fixing the issue, as well as transportation and delivery to the Irvine location. I then had wheels installed at the performance shop in Irvine. Again, it wasn't cheap, but they met all expectations. Shout out to Issa, Luis, Josh and all the of the SSR team that worked on my vehicle. If owners of high end luxury cars and supercars trust SSR, you should to. (If you have a luxury of super car that is.)

    SSR killed it with my m2!!…read more I'm so relieved to find such a good shop that I can trust that will do everything. These guys took such good care of my car getting full bolt ons, tuned, PPF, and tints. Everything came out perfect. Their SSR titanium intakes sound so good too Josh and Nick were really helpful with me every step of the way dialing in my build safely and reliably. Everyone at ssr was awesome. Thank you!!

    I put a feeler out on Yelp looking for a shop that could tackle an immobilizer issue on my Toyota…read moreCorolla and HNC Bodyworks was the first to respond- and the only one who replied that they could service it. John called me right away, asked the right questions and quickly zeroed in on what was likely going on. You can tell immediately when someone knows their craft and he absolutely does. When I brought the car in, he hooked it up to diagnostics and confirmed the issue with precision. No guesswork, no runaround- just clear answers and a solid plan. He walked me through exactly what needed to be done, quoted me upfront and got straight to work. Within just a few hours, my car was fully repaired and running like it should. What really sets John apart is how he goes the extra mile. He didn't just fix the problem- he helped me understand why the anti-theft light had been stuck on and made sure I left with total clarity. Communication was top-tier too. Calls and texts were answered promptly, which is rarity these days. As someone who isn't a car expert, I appreciated how he broke everything down in a way that made sense. No pressure, no confusion-just honest, straightforward service. His pricing is fair, transparent and backed by a clear work order before anything begins, so there are zero surprises. Bottom line: if you want fast, reliable, no-nonsense service from someone who actually knows what they're doing, HNC Bodyworks is it. John has earned my trust and this is officially my go-to shop moving forward!
