A.k.a. LSXDR call West Coast Corvette to see about getting a price quote on a new differential install for my C5 I was giving Chris LSXDR number and to reach out to Cuban at Project Import. I remember Cuban from West Coast Corvette a really nice and great guy. I had ordered a stage 4 rear differential from RPM transmission with a transmission brace and four new shocks. Cuban set me up gave me a great price worked with me on dropping off my car and had it done in no time. Great work good customer service I found a new shop to keep my C5 on the road. Can’t wait for my next build to have the LSXDR make my C5 faster.πŸ‘πŸΌ

Came in yesterday for a routine job on a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. Cuban and his team changed out my rotors and pads and bled my brake fluid and charged me less than other shops. Cuban is a really awesome guy and held a conversation with me during the time my car was being worked on! Just because it’s called Project Import doesn’t mean they don’t mind some American Muscle! Definitely will be going back again for other services.- Christian

What a gem of a shop.Start off, Cuban, the manager, was really good with communicating. This is very important as I experienced the cold shoulder from other shops when doing initial contact and inquiries. So, big up on great communication throughout the entire process, this is VERY important being a customer.I contacted Project Import to get lowering springs and aftermarket wheels installed on my 2015 Honda Civic. The work turned out great, the car look and perform much better. Cuban and the team did an excellent job to complete in reasonable time, while I waited in the shop. Also, I appreciate his honest assessment on what is good/bad that I can/cannot do regarding my installation, as most shops will just try to get you to do as much work as possible.I will surely be going back if/when there are future work needed for my vehicle.

My son and I are VERY happy with the work that was done on our 2008 Honda Civic Si - we were ripped off and the car was found abandoned with no motor or transmission in it - we sent it to the shop in October of 2017 and we received it back at the end of January, 2018 - we used a combo of our engine & some parts + OEM parts they ordered for us - fantastic job - Bijan is truly a professional and his customer service style is personal and genuine! He is an asset to your company. All the guys in the shop took a personal interest in making sure we got our car back to the original state - they did a build and the car is a beast! We will be taking our other cars to them for repairs, etc. shortly.

Pretty bad customer service. I called to try and schedule an appointment but no answer so I sent an email, no biggie, I get it if you’re busy. First response I got was pretty quick within the same day as I sent the email in the morning. However, after the first response asking to explain the issues further of what was wrong with my car there was no communication after I replied. I’ve called multiple times and emailed back twice since the initial response, but still nothing back when all their reply was β€œcan you explain in detail what’s wrong and we need to check with our techs”.... how long does it take you to check? I’ve been waiting for 5 days now. As a new customer I would think they would make new business priority but that’s not the case with this shop so I guess my search for a shop with enough courtesy to at least respond is still ongoing. Wanted to give these guys a shot but oh well. Look elsewhere if you actually need work done.

Hard hard hard to get in the door. Been calling for like the last 4-5 weeks trying to set up an appointment. One was trying to repair a part on the car and they said theyd get a hold of the parts supplier and get back to me...never called me back. Then I bought the part myself and wanted to bring it in and now I cant get through to them....over all more difficult to even get in the front door.

Best Auto Body Shop Ever!!!!! My cars motor blew out in the morning drive to work. Stuck dead in the middle of the road I had a tow called and thought only of project import since they did outstanding work for me in the past. I had it towed there and they had my motor replaced and my car now runs better than ever!!! Im recommending them to all family, friends and anyone that needs their car worked on. Cuban is the absolute best, go see him, hell guide you the right way. And a shout out to George, the mechanic who worked on my car. Much appreciate you brother. Thank you!

Cuban and the project import team are fantastic. They work quick and do their best to work with your schedule. They work on a wide range of makes and models. They give honest feedback and arent there to sell unnecessary services. Really a great shop.

Absolute best customer service experience Ive had in recent memory, in any industry. For me, asking for advice on parts, and the dreaded labor costs of modifying my fk8 Type R was a big deal. Cuban made this process seamless, streamlined and stress free. I drove all the way to Orange from Modesto (about 350 miles) just because of the rapport we developed over the phone and via email. Pricing was fair, and he always had advice on to do or not to dos (he has the same car). His familiarity with all cars and parts put any doubts I had to rest, and he even offered me advice and diagnostics remotely over the phone since I live so far away. Highly recommend this shop for its quality work and awesome customer service experience.

The staff were great! The mechanics are amazing and when it comes to working on your car they don’t mess around. They care more about the customer than taking your money (meaning they do honest work and take care of your vehicle rather than cause more problems so you come back) I am definitely coming back! I rather pay good money for good service and that’s exactly what I got today.

Love the staff here. They not only are exceptional when it comes to the quality of their work but they take the time to break down exactly what it is they do and how they do it. For someone that works 2 jobs and doesnt have time to pick up a wrench, it means a lot to me. From repairs to modifications, Id trust them with my car and my future cars. Whether you are trying to make it more reliable or quicker out on the track, you get what you pay for here

I got my g35 coupe diff bushings changed, and art pipes installed. I was helped by Gilbert, great guy, as well as Brian. They are very knowledgeable, with just about anything you can think of, towards your modification needs or repairs. The turn around was amazing, since i am too busy during the week. Having their shop open on a Saturday was so convenient for me. This is the place to take your car too, they know their stuff! Will be returning in the near future.

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.

Review β„–20

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 Ive 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, Im 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 dont ever hurt their feelings by talking about a mistake, but why chance it.

Placed an online order and inquired about it, I have received no communication, not any sort of feedback whatsoever and most importantly no product.. Their email claims that you can track order status online at any time and that is a false claim. I have contacted them multiple times with no answer and no response at all. I do not recommend this place for any of your online shopping needs as they are not attentive to their website. I do hope they respond and resolve my order issue and cancel it as requested, especially since I have not received anything, nothing has shipped, or never received any sort of update. This is considered theft. If this simple request can not be met my bank will handle the issue.

Came in to get some fluids flushed in a pinch on my BRZ. Went to a few other shops around the area, and did not find any shops that I would trust to put my car on a lift. The guys at Project Import, however, were professional, knowledgeable, helpful and competitively priced. Discussed future mods with me, and I am confident in returning to this shop in the future for modding / maintenance needs!

I needed drivetrain fluids for my car, and they had them at a decent price. They seem to have a nice work shop in the back to service and tune your car as you see fit. The guys behind the counter were knowledgeable and if I ever need parts in the future I will go here.

(Sorry for the late review Cuban, Brian, and team!)In 2015 I got a 3rd gear synchro grind in my 08 TSX and didnt know who to go to for the repair.I googled shops and Project Import appeared on top of the list, I called and explain the condition of the car. They guessed the problem right and guided me through the whole process and gave me pretty close to exact cost of the repair. During the week the car was in (outsource transmission rebuild to Syncrotech in Ontario since the specialized and did it right), I got photos of the car each step emailed to me and they did exactly what they said they were going to do. When I got the car back, it drove smooth and the bad parts were given back to me in a box bagged from getting the car dirty.Ever since then I always came back for other repairs and the price and estimates to me were fair since I never had to go back for problems related to the repair or upgrade.Cuban is the most recent salesman I worked with and twice he provided me the same service or better since I started coming here. For example he charged for 2 quarts of transmission fluid instead of 3 when my car required 2.1 Q. He will explain in detail cost and benefits and what you need or dont need to ensure you get the most bang for your buck.My car still runs strong and performs well because of their services.Thanks!Bryant N.

This place is the KIND. Cuban is the coolest most knowledgeable guy on the planet! I live in Laguna Beach. I left my 2019 Honda Civic Si and Lyfted back many times!!! Well worth the travel time. P.s. I had the best mechanic in the industry work on my car!!! They have modified my car from full exhaust, Hondata Flashpro, Sirimoto flex fuel kit, Eibach suspension. PRL Intercooler, the list goes on like a 3 wheel circus! Hey all u CTR owners...My Si wants some!!! James Boykin can learn some ediquette

Nice open show room.Nice location! right off the 57 freeway next to the Honda center. plus I could go watch a movie at the Ketella stadium 25 right behind them or grab some food at the Lazy dogs cafe while I wait.

2015 Forester XTI went there to get my fenders rolled and they pointed out the issues that came up on my rears as well as damage to one of my rear control arms. The shop that had just finished installing my custom coilovers and upgraded endlinks never mentioned the bent control arm and installed my rear endlinks skewed and not tightened. The rear arm was damaged by the tow truck that brought my car to the previous shop. The guys are knowledgeable even on a car they are not used to working on. They understand the way suspension components should be installed and work together. I had to order new rear control arms and return. They were willing to take a shot at actually cutting part of my rear fender, but figured out my rubbing was caused by my aftermarket mud flaps! I had asked them before they started about installing my nee control arms and he was kinda hesitant about it. When he called me to come back to see where the tires were rubbing he had already installed the new control arms.Their hourly rate is on par or cheaper than some shops. Seeing. Many of the other cars theyve worked they do good work. They were suggested by my Dyno Tuner and I trust his opinion on these matters!

Searching around a performance mechanic shop to install an ACT clutch for my 2013 BRZ and stumbled upon these guys. They had the best price quoted on on a flat rate basis on their website which I have NEVER seen. They did an excellent job installing my clutch and even took photos for me so I could post it on my blog site. They found lots additional issues and even fixed some as best they could at no charge. The mechanics and sales staff are polite, knowledgeable, and from my first impression their not out to take every penny you have with nonsense work. This is shop is one of the few shops I feel that they do what they need to do and any additional recommendations they propose is thoroughly checked and expressed before it is done. I plan on doing my 60k mile tune-up, which I was originally going to do at the dealership, but will be doing it at Project Import, as well as fix other issues that have come up on my BRZ due to a well-known shop in Orange County that did not catch any of these apparent potential problems after I explained the same situation to them almost a year ago, which are now becoming a problem. If your shopping around for a performance shop or even a general maintenance repair, check these guys out.

Best shop in town. Real cool, professional shop. They know what there doing, along with the tools and equipment to do it with. Ive been to other shops in the area and they all look like, short version, some were I wouldnt wanna take my car. Here, the show room, waiting room, and shop are clean. Wich tells me there gonna treat my ride the same way. And due to were I live and work schedule, I dont have time to down my car or work on it, so I like how the prices are set up to help the customer out with not only upgrades, but maintenance as well. The guys at the counter, ( im really bad at remembering names, sorry guys) easy to talk to, patient, and give great advise when it comes to upgrades for your ride. I own a 2006 rsx type s, and talking to those guys about how i wanted to get more power out of my k20z with out having to swap bottom end internals, they for sure pointed me in the right direction. Thanks again Project Import for all the help. Ill see you guys later
