Racing Lab Auto Accessories

Amazing Service! Fairly quick response. Message them to buy some wheels, they even had some stuff that wasn’t on their website. Long story they had the wheels i wanted for cheaper than most other places, including Fleabay. When I arrived, they had my wheels ready to go. Quick and easy transaction no problems at all. The employee even helped me load the boxes in my car. Definitely would recommend this place to friends looking for parts.

Went in to have D2 coilovers installed installation only took a few hours every thing was dialed in just right best price around great coustomer service

Always a good place to order something you need. The shipping is quick and the help is great

Been here on three different occasions in two weeks.
The first time I came in, I came in for a broadway mirror. They were sold out and only had the super big one left. The owner told one of his workers that they will be receiving more the following Monday.
2^nd Time I came here, I came here on the day they told me to come back. and the were CLOSED.
Came here again the NEXT day, and they STILL didn’t have them. Guy told me they will be receiving it later that day so I can come back later that same day or come the next day.
I called them the next day and apparently they STILL didn’t receive it and told me they would have it on FRIDAY.
Wasted my time and I just ended up ordering from Amazon for slightly cheaper and free 2-​day shipping. Should have just went to amazon to begin with.
Next time they should consider taking their customer’s numbers down and giving them a call when the item gets in instead of telling them inaccurate information and wasting their time.

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVERRRRRRR DEALT WITH! I placed an order for coilovers on 8÷22÷14 with an expected delivery date of 5 – 7 days. WRONG! I get an email after i already purchased these saying something along the lines of «Sorry to inform you but the container will actually take 4 weeks to get the the US, then go through customs, then UPS.» Welp, bummer i can live with it. 10÷1÷14 I open a dispute because im at ⁴⁴⁄₄₅ days that paypal allows before you get screwed. With zero interaction I receive a refund. I have waiting FOREVERRRRR and now i’m currently searching for a REPUTABLE company. Cheers, Hope you guys remember me.
This was by far the WORST experience I have EVER had with a company, so bad I HAD to make a Unilocal.If you like to «think» you are getting your product, then I would say its safe to buy from them.

This place is awesome! Can’t believe I just recently discovered this place. The owner is super-​friendly and knows his stuff. I bought lowering springs for my car for $ 100 less than what other shops charged me for. I will definitely come back here for my JDM needs haha.

I love this place. Just wish they either stayed open till 7pm during the weekdays or opened a few hours on Saturday, for us working folks who have car fetishes!

**previous review from the wrong account**

I am very disappointed with the lack of communication here. As a first time customer and a girlfriend of someone who is super obsessed with purchasing all the car goods from this place, I clearly was mistaken. I went in store to make an order for my coil overs and due to the high demand for them I had to wait a MONTH for it. Estimated date was May 17. It is now nearing the end of June and I still don’t have my coil overs.
They told me that when they put the order in, Megan sent the wrong set of coil overs. Well damn, that sucks. But I COMPLETELY understand that it wasn’t your fault and I have NO problem waiting ANOTHER MONTH for the correct ones to come in, because I am not playing an extra 250.00 for the wrong coil overs due to your miscommunication with Megan.
But what really grinds my gears (no pun intended) was that I am left in the dark and the deposit of 250.00 is sitting in your shop and no one has contacted me to tell me or update me what’s going on! As a customer waiting patiently for 2 months I expect a call! But even when May 17^th rolled around, they didn’t know how to answer their phones and I got so fed up, I made the commute from San Jose to Hayward only to be told I gotta wait another month. It’s ridiculous. &on top of that, I called today 15 times until I could speak to someone and then I get no apology that they were supposed to call me yesterday or the friday before that or the wednesday before that either.
I am truly disappointed with this place, no matter how nice they may seem or helpful; after this first and final purchase with them I’ll be sure to take my business elsewhere that knows how to communicate better with their valued customers.

As has been said plenty about Racing Lab, I just have to re-​emphasis, if you live in the Bay Area and looking for cool wheels, if you don’t first at least go there and talk to Vincent and see what he’s got that’ll fit your car YOU’RE CRAZY! He’s got a great inventory and he’ll hook you up and you safe big $$ on shipping!

I’ll be real, Im a noob, not gonna front. Helps that my roommate/​good friend knows a good amount of knowledge and told me about this place.
I currently am dealing with Vincent with a few items and wow is he helpful. Not only that, hes not trying to hussle you. He knows his stuff and is on point with communication. Communication is key and he is genuinely trying to help you get the best/​most/​fair price of what you want.
If he doesnt have it in stock, or ran out, a simple email request and he is more than happy to order for you. Question about a product? If it will comply with your car needs? He knows whats up.
The place is a bit hidden. Which is kinda cool. Dont expect a huge room full of goodies. Quite the opposite. You cant just pop in there and browse, you should be coming in there with some research done and questions to ask.
Hope this review intrigues any who are looking up this place.

fast service and delivery. I ordered 5 parts for my lude and it came 3 – 4 days later and i was very satisfied with the product and the quality. Prices are affordable. Will definitely recommend this to others!

Love this place great prices and service. I have been coming here for years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else

Knew the RacingLab family for about 10 years I think? Constantly referring customers to them and appreciate all there help and honesty. I do see some people come in occasionally and expect it to be a big shop to play with turbos or with product. But honestly you need to know what you want and actually want to buy something. Theres so many times I went there a kid with a car wants this and that and this and that, but all they did was waste someones time.
These guys are trustworthy and know the business very well. Highly recommended.

I emailed RacingLab through their website to see if they had some bulbs in stock. They responded within 24hr and said they had the items in stock. This was great news considering Racing Lab was selling them cheaper than eBay. I came in and met with Vincent at the counter. I asked about the bulbs in question and he offers to show what the bulb output actually looks like. He demonstrated the bulbs using a display they had in the shop which was extremely helpful in making my decision. They had some other goodies at the store such as mirrors, Rota wheels, HID’s, etc. This is definitely a go-​to automotive accessory stop for all you bay area residents. I will return if I need anything listed on their website.

I wish this place wasn’t so far from me because they’re a great knowledgable shop with awesome customer service and competitive prices. But then again, maybe its a GOOD thing that they’re far… I’m sure my wallet and bank account will thank me for that =D
In any case, I was in a real pickle this past week. Called a few local shops and they did not have the rims I wanted and on a last whim I e-​mailed the Rota HQ and they referred me over to Racing Lab all the way in Hayward. I’d never heard of this place or anything but I called as suggested. Called Friday evening right when they were closing and sure enough Phil picked up the phone and did not rush me or anything. Listened to what I had to say and informed me that he would have to check his inventory and call me back on Monday. I said that was fine.
20 minutes later, he called back with amazing news and found the last set of rims I wanted and said he’d hold them for me til Monday. Now you see, I work a 40 hr shift on Monday — Friday and did not have time to come in to pick up the wheels during the week. Sure enough, they said they’d accommodate my schedule and have me come in Saturday to pick up the wheels.
Came in Saturday and Vincent opened the doors for me and locked them afterwards to make sure no one else came in because they were indeed closed. He showed me the wheels one by one to make sure I was confident in my purchase. No rushing of any kind even though they were closed. I had lots of questions and he answered them with professionalism and also friendliness. Some shops you walk into give you a snotty attitude and know-​it-​all mentality which can rub you the wrong way if you’re new to modding like myself, but not at Racing Lab. Vincent was kind and courteous and very VERY patient with me and my questions.
In conclusion, I’m a happy camper and wouldn’t hesitate to do business with them again EVEN if they are 30 minutes away from me. Thanks fellas!

Great products with great price, sales persons knows their stuff…
Great communication and fast shipment AA++

Vincent was awesome, answered absolutely ALL my questions. I just wanted to buy a Broadway mirror, and he gave me the run down on different uses of each type, and he also demonstrated how to install an HID kit. Definitely bringing my business to him and Phil. These guys know their stuff… GO GET YOURS AT THE LAB!

Awesome place to get stuff. Phil knows what he’s talking about and will try to get you deal.
Only downside isn’t even about the store or any of their workers. It’s about their entrances to the parking lot. Steep as hell!
P. s. Ask Phil about his van lololol

I met one of the coolest people here today. His name was Phil… and he is awesome. I came in asking for shocks for my civic and sure enough, he presented me the shocks within a minute. He told me if I were to pay in credit or with cash, and I told him I only had debit on me… Thank god he asked, because right after I announced I was planning on paying with debit he pulled me aside and told me to just get cash because he’d give me a discount on top of a military discount.
Sure enough he gave me directions to the nearest Bank of America and I headed straight to the bank. I withdrew my money and was able to get a 10% discount no my tokico shocks. Phil graciously opened up each of the containers to present that the shocks were indeed new. Gave Phil my money, shook hands, and headed out the door.
Sweet, short, and simple. I love this place.
