“I recently had my window tint done at Bumper Doc and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the different tint options so I could choose what worked best for me.
The install came out super clean no bubbles, no imperfections, just smooth, quality work. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The turnaround time was quick, pricing was fair, and customer service was top-notch from start to finish.
If you’re looking for window tint in Santee, I highly recommend Bumper Doc. Great people, great service, and excellent results.”

“As a small HVAC business owner, it can be difficult to find toolboxes and ladder racks that withstand the test of time. I have a Go-To vendor list that I frequent to keep my business running smooth. SoCal Truck Accessories will continue to earn my business year after year. The quality of installation supersedes any other shop out there. I forgot the gentleman's name that installed my rack, but he was very professional and polite. Cody is a great point of contact to have for any truck related questions. The team helped me navigate the right shell and rack for our new service truck. Thanks again guys! Happy Holidays. Max”
“We had the RIP kit installed. It was a game changer for the Class C Sprinter chasi. You pay more for the Agile RIP kit however the results are unbelievable. Well worth the cost.”
“Matt at Autoworks Parts is the most customer-focused, responsive supplier I've dealt with. He answers the phone, answers emails fast, and treats every question like it matters — whether it's a small bracket or a full cooling package.
What really sets him apart is how willing he is to share what he knows. His knowledge of Mustang builds is immense and covers every part of a rebuild, not just what's in the catalog. When I called about my radiator and fan setup, he walked me through hose sizing and controller options until I understood the why behind it. That advice has kept me from ordering the wrong parts more than once.
Parts shipped quickly and were exactly as described. If you're building a classic Mustang and want a supplier who acts like a partner in the project, call Matt.”

“Not only did they give great advise and help me figure out my options for my RV. But they had great pricing and even went above and beyond to deliver them to my rig and stuck around to help install them into my battery tray.
The way they went the extra mile to help definitely earned customer loyalty! I will definitely be purchasing more batteries in the future.
Thank you for your service and help with my RV.”
“Went here Friday for my gauge repair. They took my keys and told me it would be be ready a little after 12pm. A little after 12 they called and said its ready. They even found out someone worked on my gauges before. The shocker i have had a piece of my dash thats been broken for 6 years. I just noticed today they took it and glued it back into place. It's the little things that count. They are the truth and very above and beyond when it comes to service”
“Usually It’s very hard to trust mechanics and even if u do they try to rip you off.
But these guys are so honest, will tell you whats wrong and whats needed and are so reliable and do a fantastic job, they have rebranded to Baja Autoworks, its right next the gas station/car wash. They are the best mechanic in San Diego and East County area that i have been to. Check them out! They have reasonable and fair pricing and won’t rip you off like other mechanics. 10/10 service.”

“I initially called Hil, the owner, of Showstopper Auto Detail Superstore because I needed to pick something up for our organization but he was super helpful and so knowledgeable about all things detailing cars. They have been in business since the mid 1980’s and his father’s passion for cars trickled down to him. They manufacture their own car washes, coat protectants, interior cleaners and more right next door to deliver a superior product. I bought a few items to maintain and protect my husband’s sports car after Hil explained each products’ purpose. He explained how to best use their products and was happy to answer any questions. He also has de-ionized water there for sale too to prevent water streaks and spots. Great local business in Santee! I’ll be back!”
“Every time I think my old car is done for, Baja Auto Works brings it back to life. Amazing customer service and fair pricing. Liz is so communicative, responsive, and helpful when explaining car things to me lol. I can feel that the team there does a thorough job. I feel safe in my car again each time I get it back, and feel so taken care of by everyone at Baja Auto Works.”
“I was extremely happy with our experience at Santee Collision Center! We had to take our vehicle in for repairs through insurance and this body shop made the process so easy. I was able to have them assess, quote and fix my car all within a week!! Candice was helpful through the process and is such a great personality to have at front desk! Our technician, Erick, was thorough in walking us through the repairs done when we picked our car up. I have no clue what to look at the car, my boyfriend however does, so it was nice to have someone level with both of us. Hopefully I will not need repairs for a while but if I do, Santee Collision Center will be where we go!!”
“They installed a new rear bumper at a cost of $700. I received a quote of $2,100 from another shop in Santee. My car looks great, as the day it was purchase. Mark gave me a quote and completed the work in 2 days as promised. (The new bumper required painting.)”
“If you want people you can trust, AND, that are extremely professional, knowledgeable and competitive, this is the place. I needed a couple parts, they matched the Amazon price and offered free install!!!!!!!!
I’ve had several issues with towing equipment and they have been very helpful, highly recommend Express Performance ❤️”
“Rogelio was very helpful. Customer service was great. My car looks good again. He is very straight forward and knowledgeable. I will definitely be recommending him to family and friends.”
“Great shop and owner. Worked on my Yamaha 450 quad and found the stubborn problem with my bike and got it running great. Could have charged me more for all the work but found multiple ways to save me money. Most shops won’t do that . Will only use him for all my future work.”
“Incredible Service! It's really fast and reliable. He gave me three options to choose from, and offered me a reasonable price. My car was born againI hope there won't be an accident next time, but if there is an accident, I really want to come here.”
“Nobody beats loose Cannon! They know what they are doing and do the BEST job! I took my Lotus Elise to the supposedly top auto body places and nobody would touch my car. These guys took one look and said yes! They went the extra mile with everything and were so easy to work with! They even recommended painting my rims and they gave me back a very different car then I gave them! I wouldn't go anywhere else!”
“This team is some of the smartest and most helpful people in the industry. They saw a problem with my order and CALLED ME to fix it. It's not often you have a company these days that are proactive.”
“We want to share our excellent experience we had with CUSTOM TRUCK BODY & EQUIPMENT in Santee. Eric and Gina, the owners understood the attention to detail that I expect on my work trucks. This company is all about pleasing their customers and producing the very best work. We are in the residential Roofng business and have always had custom fabrication when it comes to our vehicles. You will not be disappointed using CUSTOM TRUCK BODY & EQUIPMENT. They deserve more than five stars in our opinion. We will definitely use them in the future again. !!!! ?”
“It is a rare treat for a store to display such excellent customer service and far surpassing expectations of care.
For whatever reason my honda finds great joy in not giving any warning that my battery is low so for the second time in 3 years I’ve found myself with a dead battery and at my local Autozone desperate for help. Since I lack any skill in automobile care I have to rely completely on your staff to assist me. David J. was quick to greet me as I walked in and started getting right to work helping me get the right battery.
David was quick, valuing my time and had a great attitude, it was obvious that he was passionate about the job. He exceeded my expectations removing and installing my battery all while providing knowledge on what he was doing when I asked questions.
At one point a homeless man was near us aggressively yelling at no one and wielding a large stick. While I’m sure he was harmless it was concerning nonetheless and David told me if the man came over to us for me to walk into the store. His concern for my safety was just another layer of the 5 star customer service.
His outstanding customer service was truly appreciated and while I don’t need any car parts on a regular basis I will be back for a new battery when it’s needed.”
“Highly recommend TPR Industry for parts i bought the ARP8396 stud for 179.99 in their actual online page and i got my parts in 3 days after placing the order Delivery is super fast ? ?”
“Had an unusual issue. My water heater has electronic ignition. It's like a spark wire. One end was bad and the good end is smaller that the other. I called and spoke with Manager Kevin. Kevin said he just had a customer with similar problems a few days ago. I took the wire in and met with Manager Kevin. He found a compatible end and boot. He took the time to cut back the wire, crimped the new end on and installed the boot. Installed the repaired wire on the water heater fired right up. Manager Kevin is the man. Thank You so much.”
“Just dropped off my injectors to get cleaned and already feel like I'm in good hands. I thought maybe a piece of my injector fell into my engine and in a panic, called them back and unfortunately ran Dave (the owner) through a knothole ensuring no such thing happened. He was totally patient, sent pictures of the injectors and everything to prove it. I really appreciate that!
Looking forward to getting my truck back up and running asap!”
“Unfortunately, I have had to bring in a car twice for repairs. Fortunately, every single time. The shop has been friendly, courteous, respectful, and they ensure I have been 100% satisfied with the end results of their work.”
“I had some paint work done for damage on my motorcycle. The paint was a one-off color, and they were able to match it perfectly. I would highly recommend these guys. Great work. Thank you.”
“Super friendly and they were able to help me remove a nail and plug the tire. No pressure to buy a new tire, which I was getting from the larger retailers. I’d come back here for tires because of how kind they were helping me!”
“Darkkastle Marine and Motorsports is the most awesome and friendly company I ever visited, their work is second to none, top notch knowledge of all boats and vehicles at a competitive cost, well worth the quality work will continue to recommend this company, Derek King will take care of all your needs and repairs with the utmost professionalism. Great place, great service.”
