Imperial Autoworks

This place is amazing, from the staff to the owner to the waiting area. These guys know what they are doing. I came in looking for a nice set of wheels and suspension for my FR-​S, never did I imagine getting a set of Rays. But Hao (the owner), convinced me otherwise and now every time I look at the car I have a sense of satisfaction. Thanks Hao and your team for everything. I will definitely return for future mods.

Really nice guys but they did a botch job on installing my bumper. When I first came in they offered to do it right away and then told me «it won’t fit over your intercooler and if we chop it it’ll look really bad». I decided not to move forward and would instead return the bumper. Unfortunately they scratched up the bumper pretty noticeably in the short time they had it, so I had no option to return my bumper and instead had to do an exchange with a fee to get a new bumper. I got the new bumper and went back to them to install the new one and same problem, they said it wouldn’t fit over the intercooler but this time they could chop it to make it fit.
I was told it’d be $ 80 for the install of the bumper and a quick release kit which I should say the reviews and the price was why I went to them in the first place. Other places with lower ratings were charging more as they were typically collision type shops so I figured I’d go with a shop experienced with modified cars. When I showed up they had a bunch of really nice looking modified cars there, so I got a really good first impression. All of the cars looked really good so if they had been worked on at this shop, that was definitely the kind of work I would have been happy with.
Upon showing up there’s just a bunch of kids hanging out so they say they can help me right away. They tell me they need to chop it but they can do it for sure since it’s the same style bumper that I currently had installed on my car. I sit and wait while they work on my car. It takes over two hours (almost 3) and I felt bad at this point as I thought it’d be a pretty easy quick job especially since I got a similar bumper to my old one so they could see exactly how it needed to be cut already, where to drill the holes, etc. They showed me the work when it was done and it looked ok at a glance, definitely not great, but ok. After they parked it in the parking lot I looked at it with my flashlight but it was just too hard to really see everything clearly so I figured I’d check it out in the morning. Paid them, grabbed a receipt and left.
While they did a better job chopping this one around the headlight area, they did an extremely bad job on the sides even ruining my fenders. They said «oh they had bondoed the crap out of it before so now it’s starting to split.» I’m not sure what they did to make that split as they were both in perfect condition prior to having them install the bumper, but both sides were really bad. It didn’t look AS bad at the shop, but once I got it home my right side started to droop and now there’s a decent sized gap because the part they drilled into is just falling apart. Thank goodness I got the quick release kit as I feel like that’s the only thing really keeping my passenger side together at this point.
On top of that they didn’t cut enough on lower lip on the drivers side and now it’s just cutting into my intercooler pipe. At the time I didn’t notice it was that bad, but driving the car for a week the pressure of it has caused a very noticeable cut now.
I’m really bummed out especially because I even tipped them for the extra time spent on my bumper and a closer inspection showed it was such a bad bad job. They scratched up my new bumper super bad but I wasn’t as mad about that as it can be covered up when it’s painted, but on top of scratching my bumper up they scratched my fenders, and under my hood where the bumper attaches really bad too. All of the holes that were drilled into it to attach under the hood area were off too so they all go in at an angle which is awful. On top of that it’s like they over tightened everything as the fiberglass bumper already is cracked all around that area.
It’s basically the lack of care that bothers me. My car isn’t a nice lambo like they have at the shop, but I’ve dumped a lot of money into modifications and paint jobs and it sucks that now I’m going to spent a TON more money and time fixing the extra damage they did just by installing a new bumper. I understand not every bumper will be a clean install. I also understand modifications are needed to make them fit, and that’s why I went to a shop that said they can do that. If they felt the bumper needed too much work to make it fit, they could have told me and I would have gladly went to another shop and paid more if I had just known ahead of time they could not provide the quality of work needed for the job. The bumper needs further chopping and now filling, and now I need to repair my fenders. It’s the fact they said they could do it, then kinda half assed it and caused more damage in doing so that really upset me and left me with a bad experience.
I’m not sure if they would have taken better care of my car if it was more expensive, or if they just didn’t really care at all, but I’m extremely sad about the damage done to my car and won’t be going back there again for any future work.

I recently brought the Blue Unicorn (2008 5spd Forester Sports XT WRB with those 2007 JDM STi wheels) here to have a new set of Yokohama S. Drive tires installed. They handled it well and very quickly. These guys know their stuff.

Took my Evo 9 there to change a belt they were quick and fast also very friendly cool group of guys there. Was there for a bit talking about cars with one of the guys just overall great experience! I would recommend this place to my friends. Thanks!

My catalytic converter rubber holder broke. And I drive to this shop (where I get my catback and intake modified perfectly), they told me where and what part to get to fix. And they lifted my car, tie the cat converter with a zip tie. It runs perfectly for now. Plus, those friendly and professional staffs charge me nothing.
They are really into cars and it is truly the place you are looking for.

I normally don’t write reviews but wanted to because this place had so little! I hit a rock and it knocked down the left side of my front bumper. I don’t know anything about cars so basically relied on my boyfriend to help me. I’m from Torrance so throughout the week I took it to multiple shops and they all told me I needed to replace my bumper and liner and bracket. The cheapest I found it for was $ 650.
My boyfriend showed it to our friend who recommended we take it to this place. We were going to take it around 626 to get different quotes. Kevin took a look at it and then said he could just fix it now repaired it in 15 min or so and then said pay me whatever. I mean it’s not good as new but I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t falling off!
Saved me so much time and money so I’m a happy camper now :)

Went here for a vinyl roof removal, first thing is Kevin checked what brand and instantly told me it was made in China, doesn’t good sh1t come from china, yeah right. Hao helped me removed the side mirrors vinyl and front eye lids. I know it cost a little more, but the work is 110% guaranteed it’s not qty it’s quality. Will be back here more often since they are reliable and close by.

Imperial Autoworks is the most respected reasonable tuning shop in San Gabriel. Southern California really has limited shops that are willing to give much effort to their customers. Most shops would rip you off with prices on parts and labor just for their own benefit and don’t care after their customers leave the shop.
As a brz owner, most of my car parts have been done at this shop because the president of this shop, Hao Zheng, gives good advices, reasonable prices and of course they would always keep you 110% happiness when you get your car back. In fact, most times they would even ask you if everything is working to your expectations.
My brz has most similar parts to their demo car for street/​track since most people don’t have the money for two cars in their lot. Cusco strut tower bar, mid power brace, whiteline roll center adjustment, jrz suspension, zeek snorkel intake, lightweight battery, enkei rpf1 rims, Yokohama neova tires, recaro seats, cosmetics, and tomei ex.
Most of these parts are not cheap but comparing to other shops, Imperial Autoworks makes it possible for me. On the racetrack we always need to protect the engine and car components so it’s always important to have everything protected. Now I am able to go to the track with full confidence and nothing to worry about.
Thanks to the Imperial Autoworks team. Full of smiles, good place to hang out, always on time and very good environment to work on your car, always 110% satisfied.

All other shops were busy and I needed a place to install my springs, AEM intake and Tomei Intercooler pipe. THis was the only place that could accomadate me last minute. They were very accomodating and even stayed later until 7:45pm to finish installing the parts on my car. They were willing to wait for my friend to drop off the parts and even managed to help him fix a problem with his hood closing because of a minor accident on his way to the shop. Hao, the owner was pretty cool and explained his recommendations for my car (2014 Mitsubishi Evo X MR). Highly recommend this shop since it seems they have experience with modified cars, they have two Evo Xs in the back, an Evo 9 in the front and some other cars.

The best vinyl wrap shop I have ever met! Perfect quality with reasonable price. The owner is really cool guy and his ride is cool as well!

Last night I had a flat tire on I5, pulled off at the closest exit. I popped the trunk and put on the spare, unfortunately noticing the warning of a max 50 mph and 35 miles distance… I still had 1,000 miles to drive home .
It was after 9:30pm and EVERYTHING was closed. If I had to stay there overnight I would not have been able to make it to work.
Fortunately Kevin was still at work and offered a few tires that could work even though it was after close and they did not have exactly what I needed.
Kevin and his crew totally hooked me up, saved my ass yet we had never met before. He even looked on Craigslist to see if there was anyone local who had a better fitting tire that late at night.
I left completely shocked at his generosity and willingness to help me, this was not a money maker for him.
If you want anything, and want to work with someone with a great core value system go to Imperial Autoworks!

There are several things I look for besides «the merchandise» when I’m shopping. I have high standards and expect OUTSTANDING service. I obviously received an OUTSTANDING deal and service. MAZZ Autosport received a five star for that! I own a GL 450 got «22» BNZ rims on Falkens for… let’s just say that I saved at least 2K if I would have purchased them at the dealer. Huang is the owner who can be my little brother, is a good listener and wants to keep customers happy. I will be bringing in my other cars to him from now on, regardles if I have to drive like I did today from San Bernardino. So, MAZZ Autosports is obviously worth the drive. Search no furher MAZZ Autosports is THE place. Love my new shoes on my BNZ, thank you Huang.

I came here and got my Eurotek UO6 wheels and tires. I love them. They gave me a great price, probably one of the best deals I can get. Kevin the mgr and his crew are not some money hungry salesmen that just want your money, they really will help you get what you want. They have a lot of patience and will help you decide on which wheel looks the best. They have a lot of wheels and tires in stock, but I think they ordered my wheels and got it in 1 day! Very fast. They also do suspension upgrades, brakes, performance enhancing products, and others. Their installation of my wheels and tires was pretty fast and they have a comfortable waiting room. Their customer service is good as it gets, very chill people.
This location is their 2^nd location, they have another store on Garvey Avenue, Rosemead like couple miles away. This place might be a little hard to find b/​c they just opened and don’t have a big sign up yet, but if you’re going up New Avenue after exiting the I-​10 then it will be on your right side right before Valley.

If you want great prices and good honest people. Then bring your vehicle to Mazz AutoSports and ask for Kevin or Hao. I got my Eibach springs installed on my Honda Accord at a great price and while you wait for the job to be completed Mazz has a room with a big TV and access to the Internet. My kids really loved that… haha:-). Trust me you won’t regret coming here. I know I will be coming back very soon. Thank you Mazz Autosports

I got my is250 fixed up here (rims, tires, suspension, exhaustkit) and by far they had the best prices and they were really helpful. Great service and everything, basically the hooked up my is250 !
