While parking is noted as terrible, the overall experience is consistently excellent and unforgettable for anyone with a standard or custom car.
SJ Customs is hands down the best shop around. John is extremely professional and always takes great care of my car. He’s the only person I trust in the Bay Area to work on it. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and knowledgeable shop, do yourself a favor and give SJ Customs a call. Highly recommended!

John worked on my Accord Hybrid. Nicely done. Judging by many classic cars in and out of his shop, he must be good with both newbies and oldies.
