This place is freakin awesome! Forget Disneyland this new location was built like a theme park for car lovers. I took the VIP shop tour and was able to walk around on the shop floor (escorted) and saw some amazing builds some of which I have been sworn to secrecy not to talk about. Not sure about other shops but how many have the original Airwolf helicopter getting work done there? Overall definitely worth my time and just happened to see Ryan walking by while they were filming for the show. Really nice guy, he posed in pics with the kids and signed our tees. Oh and btw just our luck, my favorite 7′ Lakers center was also there filming and we also got pics with him as well. Great place and worth the time, I guess if you get lucky you never know who you may stumble across in the lobby!!!

This is the biggest shop I’ve ever been in. The overall presentation of the cars are great. The tours will give you a great sense of what it takes to build these masterpiece cars. I would recommend anyone around Burbank area to stop by and check it out, because the photo won’t give you the sense of scale that this shop has.

We all know about the amazing creations that West Coast creates from seeing them on television and having them locally is pretty cool.
From the time the building was being updated (from what it was) I was intrigued by the design of the building. Even when they put the Giant W on the building I had no idea it was West Coast. Once I knew I could tell where the creative vision for the building came from.
They always 1 – 2 cars out front to tease your eyeballs, from movie cars they’ve created to just bad-ass creations.
When I saw a sign on the building that said public tours I was very intrigued and finally got the chance to go inside when I had a friend visiting from out of town.
I thought the tours may be free, but they are not. They aren’t cheap either $ 20 for an overhead catwalk tour or $ 75 for a VIP tour. NO PHOTOS ON EITHER, so be warned if that’s your goal.
However, they do have several cars just outside the front desk/store area that you are free to look at.
The store has a good selection of items and I feel they are fairly priced and you can pick up some souvenirs or items for yourself.
I’ll never have the money to have a car tricked out by them, but I can always drive by and dream a little!

My husband wanted to go here for his anniversary. When we got here– we found it very easily following the directions from maps. A step and repeat to take pictures.
Take the tour. There are two tours available for $ 75 or $ 20.
When we were there no one else was there so we took the tour and it was very personalized.
Saw a car is being made from scratch all metal sheet work or no bond work, mustangs cars to be shown at the Sema convention.
Very cool very quick maybe no more than an hour of your time!

Took a tour of the facility and it was definitely worth it. Rudy our tour guide was very knowledgeable and he even gave us the name of a great Mexican restaurant «Salsa and Beer». We were also fortunate enough to meet Ryan.

After reading the reviews on the shop, I was debating my visit there. But after my visit Saturday, it was amazing and the staff was very friendly. My tour guide was knowledgeable and welcoming. Definitely coming back!

I’m a huge fan of the show and was super excited to stop by and visit the new Burbank location.
According to the most recent episodes on Fox Sports this new location was built with fans in mind. I emailed a few days earlier to make sure no special plans were needed for a tour. I was told by Nico to just show up and have $ 20 bucks for the tour. I showed up on 4÷16÷2015 at 12:30 shortly after a large group just finished up their tour.
When I arrived I saw Nico taking pics of Big Dane with the large group of fans who were just finishing up their tour. I asked what I had to do to take a tour and Nico took me inside where I paid my $ 20 and was greeted by a young blonde whose name I can’t recall. She said she was new and could show me the tour.
We started by visiting the mini car museum. The museum had Ryans wife’s Mini, as well as three of Will I Am’s cars among others. After taking pics with and of all the car my tour guide showed me the mini Sam Ash music studio. After the mini studio she took me to the cat walk where the catwalk tour starts with tons of magazine covers chronicling Ryan and West Coats Customs success. Once the tour guide went over the magazine covers we moved on the cat walk where she explained each department and what cars they were currently working on. Once the tour was done my tour guide took me back to museum/lobby where I was told all merchandise would have a 10% discount.
While there’s no doubt in my mind that my tour guide had no true knowledge of West Coast Customs I still enjoyed being able to tour the facilities for myself. My only suggestion is to have a someone giving tours who truly knows your brand and is passionate about it. When a fan travels 100’s of miles to see your facilities we’re on Cloud 9 and in my case the tour guide wasn’t all that thrilled to be doing a tour it seemed. This facility is very nice and as of my visit was still being kept in good condition.
I wish Ryan and West Coast Customs nothing but success in this new location.

I just want to start by saying that I’m a fan of the show but seriously guys, where is the love for the fans?
I came here on 4÷21÷15 at around 4:30 pm. I was super excited to go see the shop at their new place in Burbank.
We got inside and no one at the door to greet us or anything, we literally had to look for someone working there willing to help. There were 2 guys just walking but didn’t even bother to say «welcome» or anything.
We found the reception guest desk and there was this kid on the computer, I had to ask if they did tours. He said that the tour would be anywhere between 30 minutes to 40, depending how many questions we asked. I told him that me and my girlfriend came from San Francisco and that I was a big fan of the show. He just said «yea, the tour is $ 20 a person, and you get 10% off merchandise at the end». Half the tour was he going over the cars that you get to see for free. What made me mad was that he said that the Tron Audi R8 belong to Dr. dre! According to the show, the car was from Noël Lee collection, the owner of Monster cable. From there, I knew that I just threw away $ 40. I wish I could had got a shirt or a mug with that money, I really did but I was just sad and disappointed. Yes you get to walk above the shop but I just wanted a warm welcome. I got to shake Ryan’s hand, he was walking to the garage, I didn’t want to interrupt him by asking for a picture but at least I got to see the guy.

Oh man been wanting to hit this place up since it has open. As a fan of all there work it’s cool to go and be able to walk in to the store and actually see what they have. The new building is nice. You can totally tell it’s new. The cars on display looks amazing. The staff was friendly. they also sell west coast gear if you’re into that. but over all good place to check out.
