Great service here with really cool people. Did my stage 2 upgrade here. If you want to do the upgrade talk to them and buy through them, they offered a very reasonable price on my 2023 WRX

I looked up the reviews before I took my Porsche 911 4S for an exhaust change and a Cobb tune. The guys did a great job! After 6 month I brought my 2021 Audi R8 for a titanium cutback exhaust replacement. The job was done very well Excellent rating if I can give them more than 5 stars I will. I was update along the way with pictures of my car and the new exhaust installation. I was told that new management/owner brought the workshop! The workshop i looks like Lamborghini Newport from inside! Jonathan the new manager is super helpful and will take you through the process step by step! This is an honest review I gave to the guys because I was taken care of really good. Thank you Antspec Team!

If Antspec was good before well now it's even better. 714 Tires has always been a great shop to go for your suspension, wheel and tire needs. Now that they took over Antspec they will definitely grow their customer base by alot. These guys are very good at what they do, always have the customers best interest in mind. I've been coming to them for the last 6 years and that won't be stopping anytime soon. Great group of guys and a great shop.

These guys custom tailored my 2018 STI map. Car runs beautiful. Every phone call for additional questions, they go over and above to answer any questions. Just wish there was an Antspec in San Diego as I make the drive to get worked on.

Reggie is a boss. Super helpful and helped me get the best price for a set of WedsSport wheels. Update: Reggie is an even more helpful when things got a bit sideways. I needed a replacement wheel from WedsSport and Reggie circled the wagons and made it happen. I got the new wheel a few days later after being told from the mfg that I may have to get shipped from Japan. I can t say enough good things my experiences at Ant Spec.

I am a first time customer of AntSpec. I called and spoke with Reggie scheduled for an oil change for my 17 Subaru WRX STi. Scheduling was straightforward and easy. I was quite happy to find out AntSpec uses high quality oil(s) Motul compared to the ones that the dealership offers(won't be returning anytime soon).Honestly it was an overall straightforward excellent service and experience. The other team members were also laid back and were happy to answer any questions I had regarding the car. I drove off the lot satisfied and notice a more improved car due to the upgraded oil. Thank you AntSpec for a easy straightforward service. I will be returning back for further maintenances and modifications.

Great visit with the people at AntSpec. After some routine maintenance and aftermarket parts installed, my car feels great. Working with Reggie, updating me often, throughout my car being worked on in their shop. I'll continue my business with AntSpec for future maintenance and upgrades. Friendly staff with open communication keeps the customers coming back. Check them out!

I would like to say that I had an exceptional experience here! I had to have my master cylinder changed. I am a meticulous person and wanted someone to work on my vehicle who is equally as meticulous. The entire staff is extremely nice! The entire environment just gave me a wonderful feeling. These are not average technicians working on vehicles. These are the best technicians in my opinion. These technicians worked for Cobb Tuning for many years and it absolutely shows! I would like to thank Ronny as well as Danny for working on my car! Danny spent hours carefully working on my car. Thank you for all that you guys have done! You guys are the best!!!

I stopped in to get information on an exhaust system for my Subaru, and they had a gap in their workload. End result is that I was out of there in less than an hour with an Antspec cat-back exhaust on my STI. And the sound is great! Thanks!

Stop by cause my friend recommended me. Needed to do a rear diff fluid change and check on a few concerning noises coming from the rear. They were able get me in and get it checked out and change my fluid. Seeing how they have a lot of Subaru, but manage to work on my BMW M4CS says a lot .Highly recommend them to other car enthusiasts.

Had my WRX returned back to stock here and they did a good job. No problems a week after writing this review.It was a little pricey, but honestly worth it considering their, professional, two hour, job would have taken me at least half a day with a ton more stress.

My experience with my 2018 WRX FA20. Everything is upgraded besides the turbo. Got dyno tuned here flex fuel map and the car was running weird right away, had -11 knock and DAM would drop to .6 randomly, reached out and they did a couple revisions thru Etuning and still had the issues. They told me something was mechanically wrong with my car and it wasn t a tune issue. 2 weeks later I started Etuning with Phatbotti and absolutely nothing was changed or adjusted on the car. It s been running great since. Ended up paying for 2 tunes in less than a month but my car is running smooth and that s all that matters.

I would like to compliment Cobb SoCal team for providing a great service and tuning experience. Reggie, Antolin, and Ronnie, did a great job in the office and were very accommodating while awaiting my appointment. I would also like to thank them for being flexible and offering a very fair price on the spot to install a transmission mount on my 2016 WRX the same day as my tune. The work was done very professionally and quickly.As for the Tune, I'd like to recommend Jason to anyone who is considering Cobb SoCal! He did a terrific job! Jason took the time to talk about what I was looking for in my tune, and even estimated (quite accurately I might add) what we could expect to see based on the modifications I had added to my car. He really took the time to explain exactly what was being done to the car and what the individual measurable meant (including what to watch out for after the tune is complete ***Very Important***). This really made me feel more confident and comfortable with how far we could safely push the car.He also provided some great advice on what future modifications I should consider. This was done in a consultative manner, NOT a high pressure sales pitch. It's also nice to know he drives the same car as mine and had many of the same modifications.Overall, I give Cobb SoCal 5 Stars and cannot recommend them strongly enough to anyone considering them for their tuning and service needs!

I just purchased a 2018 WRX, spoke to Ronnie the night before I made the drive out. Exceptional customer service, friendly staff. Anthony had me in and out quick. Extremely knowledgeable, gave me a tour of there shop. They even let me test drive there 2018 WRX that had some bolt on items to see the difference in performance and how the exhaust sound. Very impressed overall. Will recommend them to anyone. I plan on making several more trips in the future to there shop, they will be my GO-TO guys for my car.

I don t know where to begin with these guys at the shop but I ll break it down. ( never the one to leave reviews but these guys deserve it )Called them about a month or so ago to setup a tune and dyno for my 2011 STI and everything was super smooth from making the appt and staying followed up until the date. A week before my appt with them, my car started having some issues so I told them exactly what was going on and they still proceeded to take my car on the date of the appt. After arriving at the shop, I got a call 5 mins later explaining my lights ( cel ) came on again so we re going to have to inspect it to see what s going on but we think it s this. ( skipping teeth ) 30 mins later they call me, emailed me photos and explained everything to me and proceeded to fix the issue. One day later they were installing everything on my car necessary for the tune and had my car out of there the next day. It s been 4 days now and I can honestly say I am beyond impressed with the results. One of those feelings where you just get in the car for the hell of it and take it for a spin Danny was my tech who worked on my car and Jason was the tuner. These two gentleman did a fantastic job. Thank you again

Went to AntSpec this afternoon to install a Cobb j pipe on my 2015 Subaru WRX. From the moment I arrived I was greeted right away and had my car pulled into the shop even though I was early. The owner Ant worked on my car and pulled one of his guys off a project to get me out quicker. He was super friendly and let me check out my car while it was on the lift and explained everything to me and looked over the rest of my car. He replaced all 4 bolts for me with the parts I brought. He told me one nut had seized up and pulled the whole bolt out so I am really glad I didnt try it at home and possibly would have stripped the nut. Everything went perfectly. I couldnt be happier with the experience and the first-rate service. Highly recommend taking your car here.

So my story starts with me looking on the Cobb official website for retailers and tuners, I came across Antspec, they were listed as platinum and boy did they not disappoint!! I had a few local shops all lag on me and I needed a good trusting business to check out my car. My car had been experiencing bogging/misfiring(feeling) issues since I bought it a few months back. I emailed Antspec after their closing hours and wasn t expecting to hear back from them, but I got a response around 10pm! Wow thank you Ant, he had me take my car in the very next day. When I got there Ant told me he was going to run a few basic checks and go from there. Came across my j pipe missing 2 bolts and needed the boost pill replaced as well as my access port being on the wrong tune, I mistakenly put it on the wrong one. I was in and out in a matter of about an hour and a half max. I will be recommending Antspec to all my friends and bringing my car here for all future mods. I can t thank you enough Ant!! If you have any doubts just stop by and at least check this place out you won t be disappointed! Also forgot to mention Danny, he showed me exactly what my car was missing while it was there on the lift. Everyone at Antspec is great they do it all!

Needed a compression, leak down, and block test performed on my 2006 evo 9, and Ant and his crew took great care of me. They gave me a printed summary of work performed and the results as well. Thanks for the help guys and getting me in on short notice.

Excellent service and customer care. I do not take my Subaru anywhere else, especially the dealerships. They have done everything on my car, from standard service and maintenance to all of my modifications and custom tune.

only guy that really assisted me is Ronnie he is a cool dude and very helpful all the other guys I'm not very fond off.I got brand my brand new 2015 Evo with 0 miles than couple weeks later I went to Cobb for a stage 3 package and car was running great and strong for the first month. Than one morning I start my car than I hear this terrible knocking than I kept driving with to got to Mitsubishi to service and as I was one the freeway the wheel locked on me luckily I was ok, going 80mph.. than my whole top end had to be replaced which luckily I had warranty, Cobb did not want to compensate me with anything and just blame it on me saying I reved it probally and that nothing is wrong with there tune.So I got the car back rebuilt at 3000 miles and plugged the accesport again than 2 months later the car bent a valvue on cylinder 3 and then I called again telling Cobb my complain and they just acted like it's not a big deal and it's my fault trying to make me feel like I was a dumbass. at this point I'm super scared of the tune/accesport and 3000$ spent on the package went straight down the drain , just sitting in my garage .. and after all that I just wanted my catback and test pipe to be changed and when they changed the test pipe the mechanic comes and tells the manager that he stripped the senser for the test pipe and claiming that it usually happens to Evo's and at this point I'm furious and kept my cool and had to still pay a 100$ for them installing it but truely they should of payed me for screwing up my stock cat. On top of all that they said I should find a cat and purchase it and I said no so he goes in the back and finds me a broken cat and hands it too me. I've had a terrible experience with Cobb and will be my last time going there

Exceptional experience with these guys. Ronnie is great and easy to work with. I told him I needed a protune on my '08 WRX because I had just relocated from the east coast and was running the Cobb OTS 93 octane stage 2 map. Since there is no 93 octane out here, and the 91 isn't all that great, I wanted to have the car tuned to achieve the best power/torque performance possible. Ronnie got me set up with Jon and I couldn't be happier with the results. Once I install the Process West tmic in the Spring, I'll be back there again for another tune.

I have an sti with over 200K miles and these guys were still able to get over 300 whp to the wheels after stage 2 and tune. Also, got some suspension work and a short throw shifter. Feels like a completely different car. Oh yeah, they were able to fix a couple minor oil leaks. I'll probably go back for E85.
