    Another awesome experience here at True Customs. They have been my go-to since 2007. They've worked on my '07 Ford Fusion, '11 Mini Cooper, '10 Ford Focus ST, '24 GR Corolla, '11 GTI, and lastly on my daughter's '11 Genesis Coupe R-Spec. Any customization you want and need, they have available. Financing is also available. Great crew, from the owner Alan, to Abe, and Albert. Good prices, good quality products and good quality service! Highly recommended!

    The reverse light

    a comprado luces las de reversa están muy bonitas valen como 300 dólares más labor pero salen muy malas en un año las tuve que remplaza 3 veces es que no les recomiendo luces de allí porque es muy mala calidad según es buena marca pero de bueno no tiene nada y es muy caro como para que no salga bueno lo que te venden y lo peor que ellos saben que esa marca sale defectuosa y la siguen ponienido en venta.

    Complaint Summary: True Customs / RTA Auto Sales (Chronological) This letter summarizes issues with True Customs (BAR # ARD00287061) and related transactions through RTA Auto Sales involving multiple vehicles repaired or sold between July 2024 and December 2025. Below is a chronological breakdown of known charges and events by date and vehicle, based on receipts currently located. Additional receipts are still being gathered. * 07/16/2024 - Mustang GT (2013): $2,133.39 paid. * 08/27/2024 - Chrysler 300C (2009): $8,398.23 paid. * 07/16/2025 - Infiniti G35 (2003): $3,135.25 paid. * 11/16/2025 - Tahoe purchased from RTA Auto Sales following referral from True Customs. * 12/06/2025 - Tahoe returned to RTA Auto Sales, vehicle contract voided. * 12/08/2025 - Refund check issued from RTA Auto Sales to Jonnah Gabriel Carter for $1,500. Throughout all repair transactions, communication, pricing, and repair authorization were conducted by an individual named Abel, who is not listed anywhere on True Customs' BAR license. The BAR database identifies Alan Ramirez-Falfan as the registered owner/operator, yet Abel negotiated estimates, accepted payments, and represented himself as the primary decision-maker. We are concerned that unlicensed individuals were managing or performing repairs in violation of BAR regulations requiring proper supervision and authorization. When my husband, Jonnah Gabriel Carter, went to RTA Auto Sales to address ongoing safety problems with the Tahoe, Robert stated: "Before we discuss anything you owe me $300." Jonnah responded that we were not paying anything else because the vehicle was not reliable. Robert then said, "I don't think you can afford this car." This interaction illustrates financial coercion, refusal to discuss known defects until additional money was paid, and failure to address safety issues prior to sale. On or about November 16, 2025, when we received the Tahoe, Robert also stated that he "doesn't know why Jonnah takes his vehicles to True Customs" and that he "doesn't work with Abel on cars anymore." Robert further said that Abel is not licensed to perform the work True Customs was charging us for. Robert reviewed one of our True Customs invoices and said, "I did that work on your car and I didn't charge him that much," indicating that Abel was tacking on heavy fees. This shows that repairs were either sublet or partially performed by an individual not on the BAR license, and that prices were inflated without disclosure or proper authorization. These receipts total $17,166.87 paid so far, not including additional work performed on the Mustang and Infiniti that still needs to be documented. All amounts listed are verifiable by invoices and bank transaction records. A complete packet will follow once all remaining documents are located.

    I dont write reviews often but definitely gotta do it for this shop Abel has great costumer service i was so happy with the results of my tinted windows best shop in National city thank you so much again abel and your team :)

    I took my car here to be wrapped the beginning of August, and 2 months later it still wasn't completed, and they ran out of wrap and substituted with a completely different wrap color for the bumpers that they promised looked similar. I pulled the car out early due to the lack of meeting deadlines they agreed to. I had to constantly call them for progress and status updates. I wouldn't recommend this store to my worst enemy

    Found True Customs on google and decided to walk in for a quote on my damaged seat. Made an appointment on a Friday and picked up on Saturday. I was very impressed with the work that was done I couldn't be any happier! I was so happy with their work I scheduled my next appointment to have my windows tinted. Thank you Alan and Abel for your assistance and thank you True Customs for your service and the great work you have done.

    Employees friendly great prices answer every question very knowledgeable of almost everything about cars

    As of right now my experience with them had been very positive. I walked in with a semi challenging task and they took the job same day and head on. They were very communicative, reasonably priced and worked patiently with us. I also really like their laid back environment. I'm already looking at coming back to get more work done to get the car looking back to the way its supposed to out of the factory. As of right now I am very pleased with our interaction and results of the transaction. If for whatever reason something goes wrong in the next few days with their installs, I'll update. For today and the work to this point, we are satisfied and already have two friends coming and we are already planning the next steps in this process with true customs.

    Stopped in to get my 4Runner worked on. I have some after market Anzo headlights which require the entire unit to be removed if they need bulbs replaced. I stopped in randomly and they got me in right away within a tight schedule and got my HIDs replaced with LEDs that come with a 3 year warranty. The customer service and flexibility was great to experience and have now found a new spot to bring my 4Runner here in San Diego for my local needs. If you need suspension, aftermarket lighting, tint or anything else for your vehicle, stop by and check out their selections.

    THEY CRACKED THE BOTTOM OF MY UNDERCARRIAGE WHEN THEY LIFTED MY VEHCILE TO TAKE OFF THE FENDERS, AND FRONT BUMPER

    Alan did a ton of research to make sure that everything would fit/work with the make and model of my Smart.

    My experience with Carlos in the San Diego Tint Specialist location in Main Street. First of all I…read morelooked up where to do my tint and I got multiple options, based on reviews and ratings I decided to ask more about this location. Initially I requested to be quoted on yelp, no response for a good amount of hours which isn't a big deal since I just decided to call and was able to get my quote quickly over the phone. We were able to set up an appointment and he actually set it at 8:15am because I asked for it to be done soon because of work and he had another client after when he's usually at least I've seen open at 9am which I can appreciate. When I came to the appointment there was a positive and a negative, the positive is he helped me decide on the right tint 5% on back 45 % on front 2 and 70% windshield CXP but there was a spontaneous 60$ increase to my price from 700 to 760$ due to him running out of the tint i was initially going for and switching to CXP which at first I was skeptical but I think the result was worth it and it comes with a *limited* life time warranty. Overall 2 hiccups, it's not a big operation & the guy who helped was very polite and explained things very openly which I can also appreciate, I'm happy with my experience and result and I would definitely recommend this place to the people I know as well as any person reading.

    Love how my car turned out. The service was very professional and quick. He doesn't try to upsell…read moreyou and he's very confident with his work. I'm glad I went with San Diego tint specialist.
