(Sorry for the late review Cuban, Brian, and team!) In 2015 I got a 3rd gear synchro grind in my 08 TSX and didn't 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 don't 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.

Trustworthy mechanics who know motorsports and how tricky it can be to work on a car with aftermarket parts. I thought I had a blown head gasket but Kiet and his crew excluded that diagnosis and properly bled/refilled the cooling system. They explained to me that the aftermarket radiator I have changes the capacity of my cooling system and throws off the markings on my expansion tank. The larger capacity means there is more expansion and overflows when the system gets hot enough. Thank you for squeezing me in on short notice!

Absolute best customer service experience I've 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 it's quality work and awesome customer service experience.

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.

Took my 2020 Civic Si in for an upgraded clutch. They were very knowledgeable and set me up with a nice clutch. They did a great job in a timely manner and for a good price. I would recommend this shop to anyone who needs any type of work done.

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!!! I'm recommending them to all family, friends and anyone that needs their car worked on. Cuban is the absolute best, go see him, he'll guide you the right way. And a shout out to George, the mechanic who worked on my car. Much appreciate you brother. Thank you!

I went with these guys for a coilover install for my Honda Fit after researching local spots in the area. There were initial problems at the start. After the install the top hat bolts were left loose, so I had to come back next day to get that resolved. After that was fixed and driving it for a bit I noticed suspension noises. I brought my car back to have it checked to see if there were mistakes made during installation. They tried to persuade me thinking it was normal. After checking with a friend a month later we noticed bearing bolt was loose and the issue was resolved. I contacted them to see if they can help with the rear suspension noise after the fact of resolving those initial issues. We set an appointment for them to check it out, this was my last effort with them, basically the mechanic said they didn’t have much time even though I schedule an appointment and brushed the issue off sayings it’s a possibility of things. My car might not be an expensive s2k but I feel like the whole install was mishandled. I put effort into trying to get this issues resolved with them and to be honest it just seems like they weren’t very interested. I was hoping to get this settled so I could do future jobs with them, but this was just a turn off.

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.

I recently brought to the shop my 97 accord to get some repairs and mods installations done (headlights/taillights) and I must say I'm very pleased, satisfied and happy with the results. Just tell them what your looking for and what you want done on your car and they will do it professionally. Fair pricing and well done service. Whether your looking for mods or repairs done to your car, this is my go-to shop 100%. I definitely recommend Project Import to the car community. Ask for Kiet and Young. Easy to talk to and down to earth people. I will come back for my next item on my checklist for my accord.

I have taken several cars here for several different kinds of services, from a simple oil change, to replacing the clutch, and even re-doing the wiring harness in the engine bay of my C5. The quality of service and attention to detail is absolutely outstanding and surpasses many, if not all the shops around the So Cal area. I will always recommend Project Import to everyone for any service big or small!

I brought my Subaru to these guys to get my engine rebuilt. Seemed like a good place to go but I had nothing but issues with them. First when I called them they had me put a down payment for the short block being replaced which I did, and gave me a set price. They ended up calling me a couple minutes later saying it was actually gonna end up being more. I agreed because this is my daily and I need it done as soon as possible, but they ended up calling me again for an even higher price without even seeing the car. Oh well I guess it it has to be done. They said the short block was coming in and I should be good to bring it in a couple weeks. I called them multiple times just for them to tell me 2 more weeks after I had already waited. Called again just for them to do it again. Ended up taking 2 1/2 months and they didn’t even get touch my car. I ended up picking up the short block and taking to another shop. Biggest waist of time

Seems like a decent shop, I took my car in to get a short shifter and bushings installed. Before deciding on this shop I called around getting quotes and this shop told me 250 if I brought in the parts. A week later I called to make an appointment and double checked that the quote for 250 was still good I was told it was. I go in they install the parts in a timely manner, but when it comes time to pay they charge me 320 instead. They told me I was wrong and 250 didn’t include the bushings. They did the work so I had no choice but to pay whatever they said I owed. They did good work but there were just little details that add up, the mechanic didn’t put a zip tie where the manufacturer specified it was required, so they had to take the car back in after I made a fuss about it, they didn’t bother to put my shift knob on strait the number were all side ways, and my shift boot wasn’t even pulled up around the retaining collar like it was supposed to. All in all 70 bucks wasn’t a big deal I just didn’t like feeling like I had some bait and switch pulled on me. While I was there I literally got an estimate for 1500 in labor for some parts I need installed in the next week. I couldn’t believe someone would play me like that when I was looking to come back and spend more money. It’s not a bad shop they seem very knowledgeable however, at least the man I spoke with seemed to have a great degree of arrogance and seemed to be under the impression that anyone that does their own repairs or mods and doesn’t work in a shop doesn’t know what they are talking about or doing. Funny thing is I have been working on cars for 17 years and have worked in several shops. I’m happy with the work they did for me, but I don’t think I’ll be back to this shop in particular due to the overall experience.

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.

I’ve had my AWD EG CIVIC worked on by the shop a few times over the years and every single time it’s been a great experience. One of the occasions they even cause a little damage to my JDM type R seats and replace them. They are honest hard-working people and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anybody. The pricing is fair, they are highly knowledgeable with a wide variety of vehicles and most of all honest. This place is owned and operated by truly good people. I will for sure bring my car back for years to come. Keep it up guys we need people like you in the industry !!!!!

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.👍🏼

Rude judgmental and smug attitude towards the parts I wanted installed that I bought already. “My parts are quality not that Chinese parts you bought” yeah ok put the fries in the bag dude. We choose to spend our hard earned money where we want without needing to be talked down to.

Called to get a quote on brakes for my FL5. Got the parts ordered and scheduled an appointment for the next morning. They were done by like 11AM, and pricing was great. Super nice guys, cool shop and dogs too.

I brought my car to this shop because it was misfiring. They ran diagnostics and came back with a $3,000 quote, saying it needed new fuel lines, injectors, and a list of other parts. They kept my car for about three weeks, and after all that work, the misfire was still there. Then they told me it just needed a retune. I ended up taking it to my tuner, and he found the real issue it was just a bad ignition coil on cylinder #3. That fixed the problem right away. A lot of time and money wasted here. I wouldn’t recommend this shop. They are claiming for mistaking their shop for another! I know where i took my car!

Kiet and his team are passionate and amazing at the things that they do. I gave them my R34 Nissan Skyline to fix and they far exceeded my expectations. The shop feels like a home to car enthusiast. I highly recommend Project Import!
