My 69 Camaro turned out how I wanted it but even better. Family, friends, and strangers were amazed and complimented on Jason and his crews work. Jason helped me out from the beginning to the end. He put his own input and listened to my requests. He worked around my budget and the outcome was unbelievable. Jason and his crew are professional and worked as a team and always kept me in the loop with their process. I'd highly recommend. Writing on behalf of my father

If you want a team of top notch professionals to do just about anything to your ride look no further. Jason and his crew fit my First Gen Bronco ( yes they allowed a truck in the door) in for some long overdue improvements to the steering, braking and even installed a brand new cage. What can I say, they exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to the next round of improvements! -Mike

I was going to just move on from me and Gearhead's horrible business relationship but I see that they have done the same thing they did to me, to others. Faulty work, refusal or unable to fix after multiple efforts to get them to do so. Getting the run around. I spent over 20k with them and they still gave me the run around and never fixed things related to the jobs I paid them for as well as them breaking things (mainly electrical related) that were not related to the jobs I paid them for.

Out of frustration I just ended the relationship with them even though there were outstanding issues. Frankly I probably should have sued them but I gave them a pass. I've spent thousands since our relationship has ended just to get my car sound. The other shops have been able to diagnose and fix the issues without a problem. Terrible craftsmanship and customer service.

And then they tell me that their work isn't warrantied and that any fixes they do to their own work is a favor to me. I wish em the best but they did me wrong and they need to clean up the way they do business. Sounds like multiple people have to take their cars back. I had a engine and transmission put in amongst other things. They didn't even put 5 miles of testing on them and called me to pick it up. The car ran bogged down, was smoking and took a lot to get started, transition leaked. AKA wasn't tested and adjusted. This was one of many issues.

I have owned my 69 Camaro since 2005 and have had 2 engines and replace transmission at other shops and the car never performed as I thought it should. I talked to Gearhead Garage at the Goodguys car show and they suggested a 383 Blueprint and convert from automatic to a Tremec 5 speed. I had never been happy with the performance and decided to trust the suggestion they gave. Jason the owner was easy to work with.

I was impressed with the engine and tranny swap looks great. I was informed I needed to have vehicle rewired and I agreed. I went there and Jason took me for a test drive and man I was impressed my Camaro never performed at this level. They fixed several things other shops did that were not correct, my car is now everything I wanted and never got from other shops.

I highly recommend you call and talk to Jason before trusting your classic car elsewhere. I want to thank Mert for the great job he did on engine and tranny conversion and Johnny on the clean rewire job. I will never trust another shop with my car again. Thanks Gearhead

The shop does poor quality of work. Watch what they are doing as they do not listen to the customers and will do things differently then instructed. To be honest you are better off if you go to a different shop. Gearheads has way to many cars in the shop and too few mechanics to do the work. This causes them to neglect your car for months even years as they did with mine.

And when they do work on your car the work is poor. In fact I am still in the process of correcting their poor work as they broke things and in many cases they did not fix what they agreed to. Pretty sad when you have to fix what they said they fixed but they did not. I strongly suggest picking a different shop.

Gearhead and there team of professionals along with the owner are second to none in my book. they took my Chevelle from sitting in the garage collecting dust to a reliable daily driven pro street toy. The changes they made were calculated and always the right path to obtaining all my desires in making it one of the ultimate highly desired street toys in Sacramento.

There foresight and experience along with the owners sound advice helped me obtain my goals in the shortest amount of time possible. I am ever so grateful for the advice my friend gave me telling me to take it there. I can not say enough about there reasonable approach and competitive prices for the work they did for me. I highly recommend you utilize there services if you have a hot rod thats incomplete or need some things done on it! There easy to find and easy to talk to. Tom Annigoni

Went to Gearhead for some minor tweaks to my 69 Camaro. Needless to say a year later and many more mods to the car and I have the car of my dreams. I have to say it is my personal best due to the collaboration with Jason the owner. The car has won best in show and other awards. The car will also be featured in Chevy Hi Performance magazine. This was not my intent in doing this build.

I just wanted a good car to enjoy on a regular basis. I did not want a show car. My point is Gearhead just does that nice of a job. They will do whatever level your budget will allow. These guys know muscle cars inside and out. They helped me make good choices and not waste money.

I have been taking BAE BEE (my Chevelle) to Gearhead from the very inception of Gearhead Garage several years ago. Back in the old days they weren't perfect, but they always took the car back and made every effort to get it right. Over the years, I witness them establishing themselves in the "performance car world, " becoming TV stars on the Speed Channel, and more importantly, growing into a formidable restoration and car performance center who are experts in everything they do.

Even the things they send out of their shop, are sent to other extremely competent gear heads. I recently I recently "took the plunge" and had a total rebuild of my Chevelle's 454 and we threw-in few upgrade to it as well. All I can say it is a whole different engine. Runs much smoother and cooler and the power is rather impressive. I have to say that damn thing "run like a Swiss Watch." Also, I did the Vintage Air conversion and installed these very trippy LED headlights.

Rest assured, when you get your car back from these guys whatever you had them do is "Dialed-in"! One must note, with older cars there are many concurrent things that need work, due to economics, you may say I don't need to fixed that right now or I know someone else who can do that a whole lot cheaper! Usually whenever I did that, I got a funky repair job by someone who could "do the talk, but couldn't do the walk." So that "funky" repair job or existing condition would eventually bug me enough to where, on several occasions, I went running back to Jason and wound up having to say, "Ok, this has bugged me long enough or this other shop "F. it up, could you guys please Fix It!"

If you ever want hot rod work done you better go here. I at the start of my 69 Camaro it was 10 years ago now done but had to take it to Gearheads to fix it right due to another company here do so bad of work. Gearheads will give an estimate and time frame and they keep to it if you do not take your car here your crazy and get screwed like I was.
