Pacific Fabrication

Hi Kevin, I want to thank you and your company for helping me through a difficult project. Specifically, your employee Walter, was most helpful. As with all of jeep conversions, there is no template or cookie cutter approach. Each project has its own challenges. Walter made me feel like I was his only customer. He provided interaction when needed, made wrong things right. Kudos to him and a big thanks for his professionalism. My hope is that you will reward Walter with a smile and hand shake for me. Regards, Claude

This place came recommended to me by a friend I don’t really know what to expect. I talked to the owner Kevin about what I wanted to do with my truck and I was set in Icon stage 3 leveling kit. Kevin took the time to talk to me about and I ended up going with stage 2 kit.
Great experience he had guys stay later so my truck would be done same dad a it was promised to me couldn’t ask do better service.

I took my car here for an LS swap as my tired old engine was ready to give out. I’m pretty savvy mechanically and knew pretty much what I thought I wanted. This is where I really appreciate Kevin’s vision. I had the dated vision, but Kevin is really up on the latest trends in restomod cars. I knew I wanted an LS engine and with that requirement comes new components to support that like Fuel Delivery, Brakes, Cooling, etc. I knew I needed to do a lot, but had a few friends that had Kevin work on their cars, so I was confident in leaving it in his hands. He finished my car a week ago, and some of the suggestions and recommendations really made the car in the end. I am so happy with the way it turned out. They made the stance just right, and Kevin’s suggestion of using Rushforth wheels was the best. Kevin and the guys at shop were always very nice and Jon kept the pictures coming so I could see the progress and drool over the day I could bring it home. I also appreciate the time they took to do things the right way. I now have a car I can drive and take on cruises with plenty of power and a great ride. Thanks to the guys at the shop, and thanks for building me such a great car. My Grandpa Harry, who was the original owner of the car, would have loved it!

0 for Kevin as well. Apparently Kevin has found a way to erase reviews on Unilocal.I posted my complaint a few months back and it is gone. Because this guy screwed me over so bad I’m going to post it again and again and again.
Kevin informed me that I needed a full service on my transmission for my 2008 Dodge. According to most mechanics a full-​service is not just that oil change but also seals and filters.
Within three months and 4000 miles my truck broke down with a blown transmission in the middle of a Farmfield in Montana. I replaced the transmission and before the mechanic returned the core he took the pan off to drain all of the fluids out of it and lo and behold in the bottom of the pan was one of the spin on filters. Which starved the transmission for oil and burned it up. When I called Kevin to confront him he completely denied touching that filter.
That’s funny Kevin I thought a full-​service was a full-​service not a three-​quarter service or a half service. This guy is bullshit and a cheater and I would never do business with this man ever again.

Completely ashamed of this place. Earlier this week I picked up a used 454 block they had for sale on craiglist. I paid $ 700. Not bad for a 454 long block. Terrible price for a block core. And that’s exactly what I got. When I got the motor to my shop and did a leak down test there were multiple cylinders with 100% failure. Now how does Kevin (owner) sell a motor claiming it ran in this condition?!
Once I found this out I gave them a call. Kevin wasn’t there but I was told I would get a call back. I got nothing. Called back today and was told he wasn’t in again. Finally I started to get a little upset. Well what do you know, I get a call back from Kevin. He told me it’s my fault I bought an unknown motor, as is. While that may be true, I was also told this was a good motor, that drove in his shop before he did an lsx, and a reputable shop. He was so nice to say that I could bring it back and he would give me $ 700 credit on another $ 1800 engine «he saw drive in the shop» that I could buy brand new for $ 2000. What a joke.
Next time you want to rip people off Kevin you should leave your business out of it and sell crap on the side. God knows how he rips off his other customers if he can’t even back a $ 700 engine. I didn’t ask for a full refund. Just for him to help me eat the cost a little bit since I now have to start from ground zero. But nope.
As a small business owner myself, there is a standard you should hold yourself to to stand apart from other shop. Obviously that isn’t the case here.

Should be 0 stars for Kevin. Over priced rip off with terrible work and a never ending money pit if you go here. Kevin will over charge you, he will put crappy used parts on your car that doesnt work and charge youa premium, then when you inspect it he will come up with excuses and lie to your face about it. He buys used parts from Santa Clara truck and charges you a double what he bought it for. If you buy an LS form him, its an LS from a wrecked car off copart (online resource for buying wrecked or salvaged cars), doesnt inspect it or rebuild it, he buys it for around 5k and sells to you for over 20k.
Check the reviews on his other Unilocal Page here: www​.yelp​.com/​b​i​z​/​p​a​c​i​f​i​c​-​f​a​b​r​i​c​a​t​i​o​n​-​m​o​r​g​a​n​-​h​ill-2
Youll see he rips people off on this page to.
I dont even know where to begin or how wrong this guy is in fixing cars. First off, over the course of about 6 – 8 weeks that I was waiting on my car to be fixed which he said would take about 2 weeks, I saw several cars in his shop that didnt even move an inch and looked like they hadnt had work done in a long time and didnt have any one working on them. Kevin will try and upsell you on things you dont need 1, and 2 on things he doesnt even fully know how to complete. He is also very rude when trying to work with him, you have to cater to his poor schedule and organization and then when I asked him to stay a few min late as I was driving 1.5 hrs to pay for and pick up my vehicle he got very snappy like I was outrageously inconsiderate asking him to stay a few min later to accommodate me bringing my business to him from 1.5hrs away.
He completely screwed up a 1 ton rear end swap in my truck. He upsold me on a 1 ton conversion when I ended up just wanting my gears fixed. He gave this long song and dance about how it will break again if I dont do this upgrade etc. He said the new disc brakes would stop better and instead he couldnt figure out how to complete the Supposed to have stopped way better with the disc brake upgrade, instead what parts he put in were used broken and rusted. It was the worst job i have ever seen done, the truck stopped slower than it did before and didnt have the right pressure distribution as he couldnt figure out the right master cylinder to accommodate for the new disc’s.
Kevin is also a very rude person, when I asked him about these problems he got defensive and wasn’t willing to even try and fix his mistakes, instead he just wanted more money. Please help yourself and save your money, take your care to a place you can trust, not to a thief who is rude and will disrespect you unless you throw $ 100 bills at him.

Needed a motorcycle rail plus winch installed in the bed of my pickup. Called lots of places who didn’t want to take on the liability. Pacific Fabrication not only took the job the designed it and built it to perfection.
After using it I wanted a change made to the design which required about 30 minutes of cutting, grinding, welding and painting which the didn’t charge me for.
They really stand behind their work.

Last year 2013 I had a 1972 Jeep J4000 restored to a daily driver by Pacific Fab. While not a cheap propostion, the work was done with quality care. This is a summer truck that will only be used occationally. When Kevin and crew were done the work was worth every penny spent. I would have zero worry to drive this old pickup anywhere on or off road. They worked with me to make it a safe DD Daily Driver. I wold not hesitate to let my kids drive this truck the 1000 miles to our summer home, konwing they were safe and wold not break down. I am very «picky» about my toys and hold on ot my money but will pay a Fair pirce for excellent work. Al the work Jason, Pierre, and Kevin completed ws excellent. I HIGHLY RECOMMEID THIS SHOP FOR ALL YOUR SPECIALY WORK. Greg Morrill

I had a BDS lift kit, some RBP wheels and some Toyo Open countries put on my 08 Sierra. The owner was super cool and even saved me some money over some other quotes I got. They have a bunch of cool projects going on at their shop so these guys obviously know customization. They also do LS engine swaps. I saw the job they did putting a LS3 into a Jaguar so now I’m saving up to have them put one in my old Chevelle. These guys know their stuff!

I asked my brother who did the lift on his 04 Sierra Denali with Quadrasteer and he recommended these guys. I live in L.A. but come up to the bay area periodically. My other brother lives in Boise ID and had his 67 Camaro outfitted with an LS1 here so I decided based on both of their positive feedback to give them a shot. I ended up getting a 4″ BDS lift kit installed on my 2012 Tacoma. Judging by some of the projects they having going on there, these guys are wizards with suspensions! I saw some custom made rear ends, a trophy truck, some truck they were building for King of the Hammers and some hot rods. Very impressive but I digress. I explained my situation and they did a fast turn for me since I only planned on being in town for a couple days. They even told me to drop it off the next time I come through town and they will re-​torque everything for me. The only negative thing I can say about this experience is that I’ve wasted a couple hours watching desert racing videos on youtube because of all the cool stuff they were building. Now I want to go desert racing. Nice work fellas. =)

I’m looking into getting a 4 door older model Wrangler Rubicon and want it lifted so that it’s looks nice on the streets but can handle some light off roading. Honestly, I didn’t have the first clue about what went into this process, but fortunately I have buddies that do — and all of em pointed me to Pacific Fab! It seems like they specialize in what I needed and recommended BDS suspension system installation with a estimate which seemed like a steal to me. They had lots of examples to look at, asked me lots of questions to understand what I wanted, and I didn’t feel rushed to make a decision or pressured at all. It was a top notch experience for a beginner like me, but when the time is right to make it happen, I’m going to these guys without hesitation.

I had an ls2 put in my 72 Camaro. These guys were really knowledgeable and were able to answer my question. They made me feel really comfortable about the process. I highly recommend them.

The guys did an LS1 install on my 67 Camaro and did a fantastic job. They then upgraded the transmission, brakes and fixed the alignment. A+ work!
