Asap Sign & Trophy

Had to print out a 4’x3’ research presentation for school. For the price, the quality was really good. The staff isn’t the friendliest of people, but you can’t really expect much from an Asian printing place with Vietnamese people (I’m Vietnamese so it’s OK for me to say that).
Make sure you get the price beforehand AND the name of the person who gave you the price because they may or may not change the price on you.

Lynn is amazing! Quick service and gave us our order just the way we asked. Blessings on this business!

great prices

I come here on and off for nearly a year now. I tried other places too and good engraving places are hard to find. This place smells like urine when you walk in, it’s messy, and the service is dodgy at best. They procrastinate worst then I do college. I’d give them two weeks to do the job and two weeks later, I come back they didn’t even start, only doing it when I finally arrive to pick it up. Finally the punch in the stomach is watching my four of my metallic items being brought out to me clenched in one hand! This place is suppose to be professional (means they are paid to get this done, it’s their livelihood) and here is a guy that doesn’t know how to handle metallic objects?! They’re scratches all over my Zippo lighters (when you rub two pieces of metal together, it’s going to scratch! DUUUH?!) and they drilled too deep when they engraved one of my knives. How am I going to gift this stuff now?
I feel betrayed and lied to. It’s actually really hard to not to include profanity into this review and trying to keep it objective as possible. Thank you to the other Unilocalers that gave this place glowing reviews and thank you ASAP! Hey you don’t have to trust me though, your mileage may vary, good luck! Look at my attached pictures to see for yourself the work that they do.
If you read this and and still decide to give this place a try then you’ve been warned.
Take care and good luck.

It was my first experience here and will definitely not be my last. Linh (Huong) was sincere, fair and quick with what I needed to get done. I had two plaques, 2 banners made and they all came out better than expected. Don’t underestimate this small business operation. It is true gem in this city!

Walked in around 3:00pm and spoke to Johnny. He asked me a couple of questions regarding price. It’s fair for the convenience, speed, and quality.
Overall, Johnny did a great job with price and making a special request job done, the day of.

I have been coming to this business for several years now and it’s worth the drive from Costa Mesa. One year for Chinese New Year the owner gave me a free sign and wished me a prosperous year. My real estate signs look sharp and the pricing is fair. The more signs you buy the pricing gets better.

I needed custom engraved badges and a 3ftx5ft vertical full colored banner to be made at the last minute. The service was excellent and the badges were done within 2 hours and my banner was ready to be picked up the next day. Their name says it all ASAP. Very pleased with their work and I will be using them for all my future banners and badges.
Note: The place is very small and cluttered, but don’t let that fool you. They do excellent work.

I want to give them 5 stars because the customer service was great and the result was beautiful, but they did mess up one of my orders.
They engraved 3 zippo lighters for me with quotes and names. The rate was absolutely great! $ 20/​lighter for a name at the top and quote. They were super helpful and nice.
Unfortunately, one of the lighters was engraved wrong. I was able to get another lighter across the street and they were able to engrave it immediately and refund me for the lighter, but had I not been able to wait, it would’ve been a problem.
I would definitely use them again though and recommend them to anyone.

I feel bad leaving this comment but MY experience with this business was very bad. I ordered my sign about 2 weeks ago and was told that I would receive a phone call whenever the sign is ready. Since I didn’t hear from anyone for 2 weeks, I thought to pay them a visit and ask them what’s going on. The owner didn’t really recognize me and could not recall the order that I had made. I explained to him that I ordered my sign from him and that he told me he would call me whenever it is ready. To my surprise, he explained that he never tells the customer that he will call them… funny huh? Then I asked how would I know when it’s ready since I wasn’t given a specific return date. Anyways, he continues to dig through his invoices and sure enough he finds mine and has no idea where the sign is. We both are assuming he forgot to make the sign and just forgot all about it. So I decide to give him another chance and I upload my design into his computer and he says that he already made this sign and it should be somewhere. After about 15 minutes of digging, we find it SMASHED underneath all of the other signs he had made for other customers. He opens it up and starts laughing like everything is okay but the sign is clearly creased and wrinkled all up and down. I look at him and politely say, I would like a brand new sign because this one is clearly ruined. He said that he will not make another sign and says that all I have to do is leave it out straight and it will straighten out. I have some experience with vinyl signs and once they are creased for over 2 weeks, they tend to stay that way. He says that he can fix it for me and tells me to come at 6pm and then says «no more talking» Clearly he is frustrated because I was unhappy with the situation. I said as long as you can fix it to look good as new like the other signs.
I returned at 6pm only to see that it is a LITTLE less wrinkled and clearly not what I paid for. He said that he will give me my money back and was not going to make me a new sign.
As a business owner, I believe that he should have taken responsibility for the way he left my sign. In addition, if a sign is left at the store for 2 weeks, call the customer to come pick it up. The store is very cluttered and disorganized. I got my refund and left that business in a bad mood. My sign was only $ 30 and he couldn’t cut me a break and make me a new sign. That $ 30 cost him a very low Unilocal review and ultimately lower overall rating. Again I hate doing this but I found him on Unilocal therefore this is where I will share my experience.

Great customer service and very high quality work. The office is pretty cluttered, but don’t let that fool you! The three workers there were very helpful and professional.
I came in needing a plaque for my grandpa’s funeral. I explained my situation to them and asked for it to be done by the next day. John took my order, told me to wait, and immediately made my piece. It’s great to know that there are people out there who don’t only work for the money. He heard my situation, understood I needed it ASAP, and did the job right on the spot without me having to ask.
Thank you so much. I’ll definitely be back for future work.

ugh i’m not even sure how to review this since i didn’t really get this service. i came here at around 10:20 and they were supposed to be open since 9. the doors were still closed with the gate locked. i tried calling the number listed cause i thought maybe he was out for a moment. i waited for a few minutes then as i was walking out some lady came from her car that just parked saying wait that somebody was here. some guy came in and opened the gates. it was totally messy inside which i expected from Unilocal and just like one small pathway which two people totally couldn’t fit in. i asked the woman for an estimate and she told me the guy who does the engraving is sick but she kept asking me questions about what i wanted and when i needed it like 5 different questions and then i replied with her reply of «he’s sick.» finally it was like ok call back at 1 to see if he will be here. so i call back at actually noon and it was busy. not a big deal but then when i called back again it was busy so i kept calling back like every 10 minutes just because i’m a maniac and like to prove wtf points. they seriously like took the phone off the hook or something because it was busy like the entire damned hour. i gave up finally.
so i don’t know much about the real services i’m sure if you meet the dude himself it wouldn’t be so bad but today all i can say to you asap sign & trophy is… «vietnamese.» (very beady beady eyes)

Thank you, Unilocal,for recommending this place that made beautiful plaques for my school. I needed some last minute plaques to be completed and they were able to get it done for me in 2 days! I called up the office and they said they needed an immediate deposit, but it was possible.
I got a great deal for ordering 6 5×7 plaques that turned out wonderful. When I first got to the office, it seemed chaotic and cluttered, but they reassured me that they will get the job done. There were two gentlemen who were very helpful and also gave me a deal because I was working through a school. Although I had my receipt signed on my car and it looked like I was doing a sketchy deal out in front of the store, they said that I could put down however much I wanted for the deposit and it is guaranteed to be ready in 2 days.
After 2 days, ASAP Sign and Trophy gave me a call to pick up the plaques. We were very satisfied and happy with the results. I will definitely come back again!

I came in for the first time to order 6 small trophies with engraving, and they cost only 5 bucks each! They managed to finish it in only 2 days although they seemed to be overflowing with orders. For $ 5, I honestly expected something kinda crappy, but the trophies actually came out looking amazing and very professional! They actually made 2 spelling errors on the engravings but they quickly brought it back and fixed it within like 5 – 10 minutes. No hassle whatsoever! The owner was very friendly and helpful. He even claimed that this place is the most competitive in California lol but maybe it really is! :D

Wow! I am very impressed by the kindness and service that ASAP Sign & Trophy provided. This was my first time getting a gift engraved for a friend and I was unsure where to go to get that done. ASAP turned out to be the perfect place! John showed me various fonts to choose from and even recommended placement options. Of course I waited until the last minute to get my gift engraved, but luckily John was able to accommodate my order within a day! No other place I called was able to do that! On top of it all, the engraving turned out EXACTLY how I wanted it to! Thanks ASAP for the wonderful engraving and the good laughs while I was at your store. I’ll be back!

We use ASAP Trophy for our business needs; plaques for our employees, sashes for pageant contestants, customized gifts for special occasions… John has been so helpful. He gives great customer service and everything we order, whether large quantities or a single item, he puts a lot of care into his work. Everything is reasonably priced and the products and workmanship is of great quality. We don’t bother to shop around anymore and just go to him. He saves us time and money and delivers on time.

Friendly, great customer service, and quality work. I dealt with Vincent mainly but also a few phone calls were with another person, perhaps John since other reviews mentioned him.
I came in with an idea to have a world’s sexiest husband trophy made as an anniversary gift for my husband. Vincent helped me look for the right statue and when I picked an expensive piece, he even told me it’s not worth it since he knew my gift purpose was just for fun. He was not pushy nor rude like most asian places (I can compare because I’m asian myself).
Overall, super happy with the final product and my husband loves his gift. A 9″ muscle flexing man piece with engraving on the front and back for $ 25.
Top notch service and reasonable price, I’m definitely checking back to this place for other orders.

Pricing Pricing Pricing. Very competitive, if not cheaper than anyone else.
His work is great and he is very straight forward.
The place is a little messy, and he has an accent, but that really doesn’t matter when you’re getting a really good price and an excellent product.

I got my groomsmen wedding gifts engraved here for a price that was ¹⁄₃ the cost of other places! The place was kinda messy but I didn’t mind when John gave me a great deal and did an excellent job engraving the gifts!

I brought in a silver-​plated money clip to be engraved. John was afraid to mess up since it seemed expensive. I appreciated his concern. He finally agreed and it looked GREAT!!!
