Off Road Evolution

Very knowledgable location for any of your off-​roading needs. They’re a little pricy but you get great American made and effective products (you get what you paid for).
I have to warn you that you will have the itch to spend money once you see all the god does they manufacture, install, and recommend. I wish I would of found this place before buying some of the products I bought.

I want everyone to realize what a phenomenal experience it was to visit OffRoad Evolution. Not only do they sell the best, highest-​quality products, but they have the best «front counter guy.» His name is Drew, and he is extremely knowledgeable in ALL things. I do mean ALL things. Not to mention he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to OffRoad parts and performance.
If you’re wondering if what you want to install on your off-​road vehicle, has been tested for performance, ask Drew.
If you’re wondering what kind of beer to have with the pork sandwich, ask Drew.
If you want to no-​nonsense answer to your ambiguous question, ask Drew.
So not only are you in good hands by taking your rig and your countless questions to OffRoad Evolution, you’re in good hands with the «front counter guy.»
So in closing if you have questions about where babies come from or what the meaning of life is, ask Drew.

ORE did a significant build on my jeep. From my initial phone call from Texas to the on-​time, on-​budget delivery, this was one of the best automotive vendor experiences I have had.

3 words: Double. Throw. Down.
Seriously great fabricators, mechanics, service and team. I drive 50 miles each way in LA traffic, passing 40 other 4×4 shops to make it to Off Road Evolution. Welds are amazing, fit and finish, attention to detail, all the things a picky customer would want.

Had my differential fluid changed today after having ORE do my regear 500 miles earlier. I was in and out in less than an hour and it was half the cost that my local dealership quoted me. Drew, Mel and Lisa have always treated me kindly and let’s face it if you own a Jeep it’s a cool shop to drop by on. Their special on regearing can’t be beat! I drove from Moreno Valley to scoop up that offer and for the piece of mind of knowing it would be done right! Thanks guys for all you do! Love this shop!

Just want to leave a simple thanks to Mell, Drew, and the ORE team for turning my JKRU into a somewhat respectable rig. Work was performed on time and without flaw. No up
sale just honest answers. I’m not one to easily get along with but the ORE team was there to patiently answer all my questions. Customer service far exceeded what I expected thus this review.

The owner (Mel) should really reconsider training staff on how to better serve customers. I specifically called to get a few questions answered before getting my rig towed over. Simple questions, not trying to get diagnosis over the phone. Yet Drew was quick to be a total asshole. Extremely rude, it’s no wonder these guys have a bad rep in the jeep community. I strongly advise to stay away! Take your business to a place where you are respected. Rebel off road in south Orange County or 4 West 4 wheel drive in the inland empire! Both great places and customer service much more superior than here!
Just a call will make all the difference, if you don’t believe me try it. You’ll see by how they answer calls compared to the other shops.

Without a doubt the best Jeep shop in SoCal. The customer service is unreal. They are cool dudes who will give you honest completion times! They work quick and know what they’re doing. There’s nothing cooler than the constant email updates about your build! When you see their setups at Offroad meets and expos you must go chat with them. They display all of their Jeeps and Customer Builds out front. It’s a cool place to be in and it’s not an institution. Before I decided to go to Offroad Evo, I talked with Rebel Offroad and Outlaw Offroad… The lesser but more popular shops in SoCal. Both Rebel and Outlaw’s prices were ridiculous… especially Outlaw. Then I decided to check out this place I see every morning on my way to school. This place was called Offroad Evolution!!! I emailed them and then chatted with one of their mechanics at the Offroad Expo in Pomona, Ca and after that I knew I had to take my Jeep in there to get BEEFED UP. It’s an awesome place, and if you’re looking for a SOLID job on anything you want to do to your Jeep you must go to Offroad Evolution.

Although the front and lobby may look like a dusty workshop, isn’t that what you want when you are looking for quality work that no one else can do? I’ve been to plenty of sparkling dealerships with amateur, freshly graduated UTI mechanics in the back who are more concerned with getting through the day than treating your vehicle like their own. This show knows Jeeps, they build amazing machines that crew rocks, spit desert dunes, and take on anything you can dish out with ease. They’ve been written up in countless magazines for their superior rigs and my experience was nothing less than excellent. Job was finished on time or early, all costs were laid out prior to me bringing it in, and the parts are top quality made in America goods. Sure you can find cheaper, no one said greatness was built on a budget, but you’d be hard pressed to find better. Not only do they build dream machines, but they also manufacture a whole line of bolt on parts for the hard core enthusiast. What they don’t build themselves, they provide from tried and true brands that have been put through the worst and still survived. To top it off, they host clinics to teach you how to fix your rig on the trail if you go too hard. Name another shop that’ll do that. Want to see some of the amazing machines they’ve made. Check out The JK Experience on You Tube, they invented that trip and half the vehicles that have gone on it. I don’t review a lot of places, only the ones that really impress me or really piss me off, this is quite the former and zero of the latter. Drew’s these man who will get you laced up and Mel keeps the whole team in check to make sure your prized possession is respected. My vote has been cast, you can take it from here!

Amazing customer service! We had a bolt break on our JK and called all over to try and find a replacement. Nobody had one. We finally talked to Off Road Evolution and they mentioned they take those bolts off all the time when they put on new suspensions. So we drove up (about an hour and a half) to visit the shop and they GAVE us the bolt for free. I know it isn’t a huge deal because they probably have them just sitting around. But it was a big deal to us and really meant something. We’ll be working with them in the future as we modify our Jk more and more.
Thank you Off Road Evolution!

I had my 2008 JKU built by Mel and his crew in January 2010. I have been wheeling hard for 4 years now without a failure of any sort. I have been involved in motorsports for 20+ years and I have never been happier with a «tuner shop» than I am with Off Road Evolution.

My friends and I have used this shop for some time. The staff seems nice and the owner seems to know what he’s talking about. But here’s the problem… I thought since their hourly rate was so much higher then the other local shops that he must be great, turns out instead that they try to get as much out of you as possible before you realize that you have been taken advantage of. Every single one of us have had a project go waaaay beyond the promised time of completion. One friend had a decent size build done there, including installation of a new bumper. When he arrived to pick up the vehicle the old bumper was missing. Well we found it just a few weeks later on the back of a jeep. Asked where he got it and he said Offroad evolution. Keep in mind this was a one of a kind bumper. The owner may very well know what he’s doing but his shop minions certainly dont. I coudnt pass up on their re-​gear deal since it was priced lower then anybody. We soon found out why since every one of us had to have it redone. Bad setup/​pattern, premature bearing failure, virtually no bearing pre-​load. So, if you can get the owner to work directly on your rig then have at it, however our group takes our business elsewhere.

I just picked up my AEV procal for my 2012 JKU and they helped me install/​gave me a detailed description on how to use it even though its pretty self explanatory… he was very detailed. The staff member who helped me out is very courteous and helpful with all my questions regarding my upcoming lift.
My initial visit was prior to this and i got treated the same way with a different staff member. Looks like they got themselves a future customer.

This is just my opinion and take it with a grain of salt. I recently had an encounter with this Jeep place in Fullerton, CA. I needed an ARB locker installed in my front differential, and this place (whose people for some strange reason tend to think very highly of themselves), offered to install it for a meager $ 4200! The only problem is that the other estimates I was getting was $ 2200 (which was still high).
I find it offensive when a business tries to take you for much more than the product or service they offer is worth. They tried to liberate me of $ 2000 more than what their labor and parts were worth.
Anyway, those guys are unscrupulous and I humbly advise people to shop around and think twice before doing business with them. They were clearly looking to take advantage. If they didn’t want my work, they should have just told me. I understand that many might say how great their Jeep builds are and that I shouldn’t complain, but I don’t buy that logic. I actually do think that their work and Jeeps they build are good, but I would rather go to a place with friendly people who will give me good work at a fair price.
Buyer beware!

For those who have jeeps or trucks that are NOT cars but monster terrain vehicles, you need to check out off road evolution. Jake has been amazing help behind the counter, and if you check out their facebook while your ride is in the shop, you can see your baby’s progress in real time. Love it! They’ve given my family the best deals and they provide the best work — as long as we have our rubicon tank, we will be loyal customers to off road evolution.

I just saw an ad with this company. They pay mechanics a whopping $ 8 an hour! Thanks for making up my mind on where NOT to get my lift kit installed… wow

I have been doing business with Off Road Evolution for about 4 years now and if you are looking for an off road shop that can fix your rig, build your rig, or make your rig work right, ORE is the right place. They can do everything from a simple wheel and tire upgrade and lift kit to a full-​blow all-​fab custom build. This family business caters to the weekend warrior as well as the most hardcore enthusiast and is known throughout the industry. While many people see a successful JK specialist, Off Road Evolution works on any type of rig, whether it is a classic flat fender or showroom floor fresh fullsize pickup. Definitely one of the best 4×4 shops around.
