AK1 Motorsports

Chris and Lyna and the entire crew at AK1 always come through for me! They painted my red 1995 Toyota Supra a few years back and it has been to numerous shows as well as the biggest aftermarket automotive show in the country SEMA! Showing at SEMA with Toyota Corporate was a HUGE honor and the paint and bodywork is what got it there! Thanks Ak1!!!

Totaled my car and was recommended to come to AK1, best decision I’ve made for my car. My car came out brand new. Great customer service 6 stars

Thanks again AK1 for another job well done!!! My wife was really pleased by how her Montero turned out. The nasty «clicks» are gone and her SUV drives like a dream. It took a while but we are so glad that you took care of the problems. AWESOME JOB EVERYONE!!!

Awesome! Is the best way to describe my experience with AK1. Bought a used Toyota Sequoia 2003 from Chris the owner and he was completely forthright, honest, and open about all the history and specifics of the car. Gave me amazing customer service and just wish I didn’t live so far to get my car maintenanced by AK1 all the time but I will more than likely make the drive for future needs since quality service is rare nowadays, I’m in Huntington Beach. He ran diagnostics of the car in front of me and gave me the details of maintenance. He threw in an oil change and had the car washed. Thanks Chris I’ll definitely see you soon!

EXCELLENT service! Just put in an order for enkie 92s and got hooked up! if you need something go here they got it!

Every day looking at my car is reminder that snakes will play you for a fool! Let me put it this way. Referred by a family member, who’s «good friends» with the owner (Lou a.k.a Chris). If the owner has an inability to ensure quality, how can one quantify trust? Thanks AK1. More details on Tips section.

Has helped me with my wide body a while ago and continued to help me with no hesitations

I had my conversion done here from USDM (US Domestic Market) spec to JDM (Japan Domestic Market) spec. It took them awhile since the part from Japan that I ordered took awhile to get here in the US, but when the parts got here, it looks like the car came out of Japan Honda factory. The car is flawless. According to Chris, this was the first time for them doing the conversion. When they finished, looks like they’ve been doing it for a long time. Crew was great. E updated me every week since the beginning. Paint is awesome. Thanks to Rudy. Body and electrical work is great. Thanks to Jim. Lastly, thanks to the owners, Chris and Lena for taking care of my car from day one and not letting it go if it’s not perfect. Highly recommended for body works. Great costumer service.

I recently upgraded my suspension and installed a tach through the folks here. I brought in all my parts, and E was very efficient and quick with communication regarding a quote for installation and turnaround time. I planned on dropping off the car on Thursday and picking it up Saturday morning/​afternoon, but they were able to get everything done by Friday afternoon.
A rental was provided for me by the time I dropped off the car, and E was good with communicating that I needed some missing parts for the tach.
I recently discovered that three other friends had work done to their cars by AK1 (before the advent of Unilocal), so it’s kind of amazing that out of all the places I could’ve ended up going it’s this one.
I didn’t expect a carwash, but E said it’s something they do when they service vehicles. Due to time constraints and in order for me to pick up my car on time, they weren’t able to, but that’s not a big deal at all. We discussed future service on the vehicle.
My suspension installation was awesome. The ride feels amazing (I upgraded from TRD lowering springs and shocks to Tanabe lowering springs and Tokico shocks), and I am incredibly satisfied both with the feel of the suspension and the look of the tach.
Thanks everyone, and see you again in the future!

Saved my car after one shop couldnt fix the airbags. They were quick to communicate with insurance, and worked on my car as soon as possible. They check every detail on my car before they gave it back to me. Even checked if all the seat belts works. They do fast, quality work here

I have always brought my Honda here for parts and installations. They do great work here that last. Everyone is really helpful and friendly.

This place is the best! My Toyota Solara was out of commission for a day and Ray, Chris,” E” and their technicians fixed it for me the next day. These people are total professionals. They have the best customer service I’ve ever seen. They have a beautiful facility with a comfortable waiting room complete with Netflix. I got to catch up with my «Breaking Bad» episodes while I waited for my car to be fixed. Although my car couldn’t be fixed the same day, (a mistake on my part because I came late in the day) I felt my visit was special when Ray called the rent a car people and a pretty lady came over to pick me up and take me to the rental office. I felt very VIP indeed=). I still have my Nissan Armada there. It was wrecked by a drunk driver while parked in front of my work. Not only did they get it towed from a sheisty body shop I had it taken to here in West LA, they also informed me that that certain auto body was trying to rip me off. At the moment my SUV is in their care and I am confident that the technicians at AK1 Motorsports are doing their best to fix my Armada good as new. I can tell by seeing the beautiful cars these guys fix and service every day in their huge garage, I know that it is in great hands. Thank you AK1! I will also service my Escalade with you guys soon.=)

Great Customer Service! Very honest and reasonable mechanics. Did full bodywork along with new clutch and tune up. Been going here for over 8 years and no regrets! I highly recommend! A++++

After my car got totaled, I heard AK1 were good peoples. Chris located numerous vehicles for me based upon make, model, year, and affordability. After I chose a car, he did the necessary repairs and a tune up, a complete checkup, and had it delivered to my door, detailed. Dealing with car issues (fixing, or finding a car) can be a headache but Chris made the experience easy and hassle free. Thank you Chris.

Great shop. Real Quality work especially by Rudy, contact him for any body work and paint. I highly recommend him, he will do a great job!

I love this place… Chris is good in what he does and Rudy does awesome with paint! Highly recommended! Thanks guys

I’ve been taking my car to AK1 since they opened in 2001… Great guys here! Great place to get your ride hooked up… engine swaps, paint & body or even just for an oil change… AK1 rocks!
Best part is, they’re an independent shop, not some douchebag franchise looking to rip you off…
