Pimp Ur Ride

This place is amazing.
Edgar is amazing. I just bought a 2015 Kia Soul with panoramic glass. I immediately proceeded to put a roof rack on it since I mountain and kayak. After calling and emailing every business I discovered that there is no way to put a roof rack on this vehicle. I was depressed. I spent a lot of money on this car that I will have for many years and I can use it they way my lifestyle dictates. Edgar installed a trailer hitch on the back and permanent rails on the roof when everyone else turned me away. Edgar pimped out my ride and game me the perfect car. Thank you, Edgar.

These guys are top notch, professional and clean work! Edgar is very helpful and goes above and beyond to meet customers needs, need car audio or a superb glass tint job? Pimp Ur Ride is the spot!

Owner Edgar is knowledgeable guy who know what he is talking about. You could get a job done here with reasonable price. I recently get my 2014 AUDI Q5 Tdi calipers painted red. Not bad I was expecting to remove them to paint but he painted as in place. He did pretty good job as he mentioned and look good too but if you are owner and inspect them like me then it’s 8 of 10, however price was good. Also tint job on front window is flawless. I give Edgar 10 of 10 on that with a price. Would I recommend? Yes I would and I will def. go back for some another job and I will ask specific questions too.

I took in my 2005 Nissan Altima in horrible condition to get painted. When he was done my car came out looking like a brand new car. He was fast and really worked hard to make sure my car was in perfect condition. I recommend going to Edgar for all your car needs.

I don’t know how I’ve never wrote a review about this amazing place! Edgar and his team are amazing. When I first came in, Edgar and I held a great conversation before we actually talked about business and what I was looking to get done. I told him what I wanted for my truck, priced some things out, etc. I made sure to let him know that I was moving to Las Vegas (where I’m currently at, and writing this review from) and I wanted to get some things done before I left.
His prices are extremely affordable! He installed a 2-​way alarm onto my truck to replace my stock alarm (and even showed me how to use the functions of it, like remote-​start, sensor sensitivity, etc.) as well as installed a back up camera that sits flush with my rear bumper. A couple weeks later, I’ve noticed that the camera would come in and out, and when I brought it in, he had a tech work on it, free of charge! Talk about taking care of your customers!
I didn’t get as much as I wanted done before I left San Diego, but I will definitely be coming back to him to get more work done on my truck next time I’m in town. I’m in Vegas now, and driving all the way to SD is definitely worth the drive because he won’t let you drive away with shotty workmanship. It’s obvious that he cares about the quality of his work, because it’s a reflection of his business.
I would definitely recommend Pimp Ur Ride to any and everyone who wants some work done on their car!

Edgar offers exceptional service at an
affordable price. He gives you his honest opinion before completing any work and leaves the final decision up too you. So far he has completed the following work on my car.
–Suede Headliner
–Viper 2 way car alarm
–Spec D Headlights
I will definitely be back and would recommend you give his shop a call.

Tinted my 2009 BMW 3 Series seven months ago… still beautiful!!! I work nearby– scheduled an appointment, dropped it off and picked it up after work.
One note — I am familiar with different percentages of tint but there are no samples in the shop. I knew what I was getting but others may not without seeing a sample…
Waited to write this review so I could see how well the tint held up. I used to work in LA and have utilized highly recommended tint shops… this one holds its own! Calling again for an appointment on another whip!

I was basically lost and very confused as to where my appointment to have my auxiliary hook-​up and cord replaced, and then I stumbled into Pimp Ur Ride while driving around aimlessly. In addition to being very affordable, the guys working there were very friendly, professional and they replaced my cord in a matter of minutes.
They have my stamp of approval!

My install had to be one of the most annoying installs Edgar had ever done. He told me before we decided to go with them that he his work is guaranteed. That’s why we went with him. I had two faulty radios installed and had been back there so many times my wife and I call him uncle Edgar to our son. He replaced the bad radios and ended up giving me a different brand to ensure it worked. The price for everything was below what I would have paid, even online. He discouraged me from purchasing online because you never know what your getting. I an extremely glad I went with him and everything works great now. Thanks Edgar!

I was referred to Pimp Ur Ride by my dad. The fact that they had a great Unilocal score made me very comfortable. Edgar was awesome from the start. Great customer service by him and his staff. I was here to get my windows on my 2014 Ford Focus tinted. I did the limo tint. My car looks amazing now! I couldn’t be happier with the end result. I recommend these guys for Window tinting in San Diego!

Equipment– 1 star — Good quality definitely get what you pay for.
Replacement or Repair Work– 1 star — If they think it is a defective component or shotty workmanship they will give you vehicle a look no charge.
Cleanliness– ½ star — the inside of the store looks pretty good, never a mess but nothing to brag about either. Not worthy of a 3^rd star however.
Customer Service– 0 star — Edgar is on his phone a lot with little regards to how long you wait.
He has to be right a lot. For instance say you think you know what’s wrong, 8 out of 10 times you are probably wrong for guessing but that is not the point, instead of taking the customers thought into consideration and just being quiet about it, he will tell you he thinks your wrong, if he thinks so, and fires back another hip fire troubleshooting thought of what is wrong.
Not to mention he told me that they figured out that my seat was putting to much pressure on the amp. When I got home after two weeks of being mad about the amp cutting in and out, I troubleshoot it in 30 minutes to a bad ground put in with a tiny screw.
They also had a customer hit my truck and told him that he could leave, and that he (Edgar) would notify me Monday. Which he did not do, even after a week I waited just to see. I just happen to find the guy about to leave and he told me how it happened and Pimp ur Ride was already closed up. If I would have made an insurance claim over the weekend because of this negligence I would have been out 500 dollars. I guess no one thinks about that when it’s not their money though. I still don’t know why Edgar didn’t call me right away I think because he was closing up the shop when it happened.
Another thing my daughter’s found out a trick to getting some M & Ms out of the quarter machine and you thought Edgar was going to lose his mind and insisted I would have to pay for them. Which even after I told him that was not an issue he still was super worried about the measly M & Ms.
Troubleshooting– 0 star — This is not because they don’t know how. I think it is because if it’s toward the end of day and they are somewhat busy the technicians rush the work. So they say what they think is the problem and he sells it to you instead of saying they couldn’t figure it out.

5 STAR shop, 4 STAR review…
Excellent service and advice from Edgar, I really felt that I could trust him for my paint job and I was not disappointed. Do NOT let the shop name fool you… he is legit! Had to take a star away for late completion on a Friday, mostly due to poor weather, but I was told it would be done and it wasn’t. .had to leave it over the weekend. Truck also received a minor ding while in his custody but he was upfront about it and I was offered compensation to make it right. Can’t say that about most businesses.
Thanks Edgar for taking care of my truck. I have two more projects and I will return.

Just pick up a Pioneer AVIC7000NEX from here and I cannot be more satisfied. Edgar is very knowledgable and down to earth. I was not pressured into buying anything I didn’t want. If you are looking for a car stereo system or need to «Pimp Ur Ride» check out Edgar and his crew!!!

Edgar and his crew are wonderful. I came in to have a dent repaired and stereo system installed. Very professional and does a great job. Thank you…

Originally came here to get my Windows tinted, they did such a great job I came back to get a stereo custom installed. Edgar and his tream spent hours getting what I specifically wanted done. Very satisfied, will be coming back.

I have been going to Edgar at Pimp your Ride for 4 years. They provide quick serivce at a great price, that in my opinion can rival anyone out there in San Diego. Most people assume they only do custom audio, but this is far from truth. Some things I have got done there are window tinting, collision repair and paint, HID lighting, interior and exterior and just recently suspension work. As long as I’m in SD I will always go back to pimp your ride.

Phenomenal! They seriously know how to take care of a customer here! Edgar is extremely knowledgeable and polite! My 10″ JL’s were blown and I came in and they took care of me on the spot. 2 new 10″ JL’s and circuit breaker switch were installed and they made sure my amps and wiring (which were installed by another shop) were hooked up and working correctly. Pricing was great as well, they will not try to sell you anything you don’t need. I will be recommending this shop to everyone I know!

Edger and his crew did a great job overall. Kudos to Roberto (tech) for doing a job well done on installing head unit and amp. I’m coming back to get more work done on my other vehicle.

Okay so where do I start… I had the following done on my 2014 Civic Coupe:
— Windows tinted
— break calipers painted
— smoked out tail lights and parts of the head lights
— installed new springs and lowered the car
— painted the roof black
— smoked out the reflectors
— replaced the chrome «H» and «civic» letters with black ones
I’m very satisfied with Edgar’s work and service! I love how my car looks and I have absolutely no complains! The price was really good compared to the prices I heard at other places. Love this shop and definitely recommend it!

There are a few things that I am very picky about choosing and those are my dentist, hairstylist and an auto repair shop. I have to say that I can trust that when I leave my car here I will not end up feeling cheated on the service. The staff is friendly and the repairs to my vehicle have been of same value of my dealership without the dealership price.
