Fantastic Dealership! Dealt with Danny the entire time from start to finish. I called him to ask some general questions on a vehicle I was I interested in and he took the time to FaceTime me the exact car and show me the vehicle inside and out. I had never bought a vehicle sight unseen, always seen the vehicle directly and transported it home myself. Danny talked me through the process (that they do often). He wrote up a bill of sale and we finalized the purchase. Afterwards I informed him of the shipper I had coming for the vehicle and he even stayed late that day to assist on the pickup. Great communication throughout the entire process from texting and phone calls with his personal number. Can't reccomend these guys enough!

Had my Wilwood m/c installed on my 74 F100 and couldn’t be happier. Steve and Kelly and the whole crew were super knowledgeable and friendly. Work was amazing. Will definitely be back for other work.

Best interaction I have ever had buying a vehicle. Bought a 51 Chevy Pickup from multiple states away, Montana. And couldn’t be happier. Easy interaction, owner is wonderful and easy to work with…..and truck is beyond beautiful!!! Highly recommend.

Everyone at OC Rods and Customs are amazing, talented, and friendly. They have a can do attitude and take the time to make sure you’re happy and understand the work that has been done. They are kind and make sure you feel cared for and let you know to reach back out to them or swing by for any reason or future help. I’ve had my ‘79 Cadillac Eldorado for two years and have had many people look at issues I’ve wanted to address with usually less than optimistic responses. Start to Finish OC Rods made me feel confident things could be resolved, quickly identified the issues, knew how to fix them and followed through. Now my cadi is driving better than I ever thought it would and I can’t express how thrilled i am. I feel very lucky I decided to call and take my car to them and am happy I now have them for support with my classic car.

Everyone is well knowledgeable about old cars . The owner Steve is a good guy. Maybe me feel welcome. I would recommend this place to all . I recently had engine work done. My 68 fleetwood runs so much better so much more power. Thank you to everyone at the shop. And a big thank you to Ean . He work so hard on my Cadillac to get it right. Ean is a big asset to rods classic. To Steve hang in there Man get better. To Kelly your running the shop so well and taking care of Steve. We see your hard work and caring about people. Great place to take your classic cars.

I was looking to lower my 69 nova after replacing the front suspension with stock parts but the car sat too high so I found OC Rods and Customs online and took it in. Steve was willing to cut the springs for me but also suggested coil overs to be able to set the ride height without any guess work so I went with that idea. The car sits nice now and now I can adjust the height at any time and adjust the ride comfort. I'm very happy. Thanks Steve. I'll definitely be back for more work.

Buying a classic car over the internet is a risky move. But, I couldn't be happier doing just that from OC Rods and Customs. Danny has been great to work with, doing some live FaceTime walk arounds of the shop, introducing me to Steve and sending me videos and pictures of the truck that I ended up purchasing. We agreed on some paintwork and installation of an accessory before it was shipped, and he was able to prioritize the work so it could get on a truck and get shipped out. He made sure that the truck was exactly what I was expecting and continues to check in to make sure we are happy with our purchase. Great experience from beginning to end!

Hey everyone, I wanted to leave this review because there seems to be some mixed information coming in. I worked with Danny at OC Rods and Customs to purchase a 1972 Chevelle. Danny was great to work with we agreed on a price, and he gave me a face time tour of the car. I decided to also have Lemonsquad go check it out, and Danny was awesome about helping to coordinate the inspection. I am not sure if it was completely required, but it made me a little more comfortable. There was also a problem with the stereo as it would not turn on during the facetime video, Danny had his team look at it and got it working, they also cleaned up the wiring underneath the dash both at no charge. Danny was very communicative throughout the buying process. Once I sent over my wire he overnighted the title, I didn't have any issues registering the car in Georgia. I would highly recommend Danny at OC Rods and Customs, I had a great experience and the car is awesome!

Some mechanics and builders are really knowledgeable, some are fairly priced, some communicate well, and some are real partners in your classic hot rod experience. Very rarely do you find all these qualities in one place. Such is the case with Steve and Kelly Brigandi at OC Rods Customs & Classics. So appreciative of their work.

OC Rods of Temecula is wonderful and made me feel very relaxed bringing my 70 Chevelle in for repairs, Steve is very professional and a car guy like me. We needed a Hot Rod shop like this in Temecula and I cant wait to get additional things completed with them. Great job team!

As I look for that "just right" classic/muscle car for myself, Rich has been very good at answering and discussing all items and desires on my list, while sending pictures of the specific points of a vehicle as we discuss them. I love his communication, and his desire to make a vehicle work for me. Thank you Rich! -Rich Seidlitz, Idaho

This shop is amazing. I purchased a vehicle as a gift for my wife and they went above and beyond to make sure she was going to be blown away with it. Communication was great throughout the entire process. Can’t thank you enough.

After several months the vehicle was returned with the alternator upside down, fuel filter backwards, tie rod frozen, missing bolts in suspension, pitman arm bolt left almost off and water hose clamps only hand tight. Clearly no skilled labor and no oversight or QC. David Bartlett

Serviced my 67 camaro and not only did the necessary repairs, but found things I was missed and made her 100% reliable. Great company. Great people.

Steve Brigandi and crew are the utmost in conversions and restorations, the quality of their work is evident in everything they do, from a basic brake conversion to a full build.
