    Pads, rotors, and fluids done quickly!

    Have had some work done twice so far with Race Factory. Both times Josh was super responsive and understood my request immediately. Time estimates are usually pretty spot on and price estimates are of great value. My car is pretty well taken care of in their hands. If there were any problems with the parts that I provided for installation, there was always great communication in describing the issue. Definitely a local business that is easy to communicate with that I cannot recommend more for any type of performance work to regular maintenance.

    Solid group of guys that'll take care of your car. I brought my 370z in to get my oil gallery gaskets replaced - a fairly common issue for the VQ37VHR motor that can result in low oil pressure. It's a pretty labor intensive job that requires removing the front end of the car, all accessories, timing cover, and the timing chain. I worked with Josh to go through the repair and the estimate he provided was in line with quotes I've received from other shops. He also suggested other parts to consider replacing while the timing cover was off, such as the water pump, timing chain guides, chain tensioner, and various gaskets and seals. Install went smooth and I'm back to having normal oil pressure. Josh kept me updated with the progress of the repair and sent photos along the way. Highly recommended, I'll be bringing my car back to them in the future!

    There is no secret of how much I enjoy being around the people at Race Factory. Josh, shop owner and master mechanic working on my R34, is a wonderful person to get to know and he's filled with passion and knowledge. I couldn't ask for a better home shop and team to work on my car and I am very much looking forward to the future of their business and our relationship! The car is only at its initial phase right now and I already made plans to come back to get more work done on the car in the coming months. If you have a JDM, European, or anything exotic that needs true expertise and quality commitment, don't go anywhere else. Come to race factory, they'll take good care of you!

    See all

    In the context of this review, I would like to provide some background information. I had a friend…read morewho recently purchased an Alpine ILx509 halo head unit, AudioControl D-5.1300D Series 5-channel amplifier, and a JL Audio 10TW3-D4 10" subwoofer in a JL Stealth Box for his 2023 Toyota Pro. He had previously sold his 4Runner for an F250 and had all of these brand-new and almost plug-and-play components. There were a few Maestro units that I had to use to utilize some of the stock controls. Additionally, one item was defective and brand new, and they were able to get it warrantied. They also had to reflash my Maestro RR because it was specified to a JBL audio system and had to be a non-JBL system. Previously, I had upgraded the stock speakers with Focal all around. I visited CA Car Sounds and informed them about my requirements. It took a few trips to determine if I needed any additional components that were not already installed. They provided me with a quote, which was reasonable given the complexity of the work. They mentioned that they would need the vehicle for 1-2 days, which was acceptable to me. I wanted the work to be completed without any rush. My specific needs were to have the amplifier bolted to a plate under the passenger seat and to avoid bolting the amplifier to the floorboard if possible. I also wanted to use the same SiriusXM stock antenna on my vehicle and retain my stock microphone as well as the steering wheel controls. I was somewhat apprehensive about how the setup would sound, but I was assured by Raymond, Austin, and others that I would not be disappointed with the Stealth box and the subwoofer. When I picked up my vehicle, Raymond accompanied me through the controls and demonstrated how it sounded. I was thoroughly satisfied. Everything looked and sounded excellent. They met my needs and addressed my concerns. The quality of work they put into customers' cars is exceptional. I would like to say thank you to Raymond, Austin and their installers

    I worked with California Car Sounds to plan an installation of Focal speakers in my truck. We…read morediscussed the setup in advance and agreed on a specific product and installation plan. When I dropped the truck off and later picked it up, I was told after the fact that they had installed a completely different set of speakers because the Focal speakers I had purchased were back ordered by about a week. Instead of calling or texting to ask whether I wanted to wait or reschedule, the shop decided on its own to install a different brand and type of speaker without my consent. This is not acceptable. As a result, I had them remove everything and return the truck to stock. My weekend was spent shuttling the truck back and forth, the door panels were removed twice, and I am left exactly where I started weeks ago except with wasted time and frustration. What is hardest to understand is the decision making process. There was no phone call, text, or email before making a material change to the agreed upon work. Installing a different product without customer approval is baffling. Unfortunately, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

They kept me informed every step of the way, which made a stressful situation so much easier to handle. The repairs are flawless; honestly, my car looks better now than it did before the accident.

That alone was enough to impress me -- but then they actually delivered. The work was done quickly, cleanly, and exactly how I wanted it. No upselling, no runaround, no waiting around forever. The team was friendly and clearly knew what they were doing. It felt like the kind of shop where the people actually care about the customer experience, not just getting cars in and out. It's rare to find a place that combines same-day availability, fast turnaround, quality work, AND a great attitude -- but this shop nailed all four. If you're looking for an auto body shop that respects your time and treats you like a real person, look no further. I'll absolutely be back.

    For Brian Santos -- I hope you become even more successful. Thank you…read more Honesty. Integrity. Skill. This message is for anyone who values character, peace of mind, and happiness. I'm not very knowledgeable about cars, so finding someone both honest and skillful matters to me. Speed Element was recommended by my friend Ronan, who said this is where "car guys" go. I'm not a car guy--but Ronan is. He drives a Nissan GT-R with full carbon fiber throughout. I don't fully understand what that entails, but I trust his judgment. If he trusts Speed Element, that carries weight. Brian handled all communication and coordination, and from my first message on Yelp, everything was clear and transparent. He broke down pricing and parts in a way that was easy to understand, answered my questions patiently, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Before I even came into the shop, Brian was already helping me over text when my car had trouble starting. Instead of pushing a sale, he suggested trying a battery tender first. That said a lot. By profession, I'm a doctor in rehabilitation and sports medicine. Most people don't fully understand what's happening in their own bodies, which is why transparency and patience are essential when working with patients. I shared this with Brian, and he said he approaches his work the same way. That philosophy resonated with me. The team in the back handled the work--wheel balancing, an oil change, and a battery replacement--and Brian coordinated everything smoothly, even applying a discount. I had a vibration between 50-70 mph, and Brian took a test drive with me to confirm it was resolved before I paid. The garage is open, so you can see the work being done throughout the process. Another small but telling detail: Brian offered to secure my belongings from the car in a safe location. It reinforced that professionalism isn't only about technical skill--it's about consideration. It also helped that we're both Filipino-American, which made communication easier and the interaction more natural, though the quality of service stood on its own regardless. No hidden fees. No surprises. Full transparency. If these values matter to you, go see Brian at Speed Element.
