I've used V3 for a couple installations I didn't feel like dealing with due to complexity or just laziness. From my experience they do an exceptional job, a bit expensive but great quality. I use my Jeep off road and whether it be me or a vendor I need it done correctly and not just for cosmetics.I think it's important to note I purchased all parts from other vendors. This didn't seem to be a concern for V3.I had a Zeon 10S installed on a recon bumper. Pretty straightforward install. The only complaint I could say I had was they didn't tension the line and didn't tell me, I had to ask the question. Not a huge deal but thankfully I asked before using the winch.The second install was the Raxiom Backup Camera kit. They fully disclosed they haven't installed this particular camera and asked if I could swing by so they could see the parts. Upon reviewing the parts they felt comfortable moving forward. During the install they encountered an issue as the camera mount wasn't compatible with the recon wheels as the spoke and bolt pattern caused the spoke to cover where the camera should go. One thing I did really appreciate is they notified me immediately that we had an issue and proposed several options to make it work.Overall I've had a positive experience with V3 and do recommend them for your Jeep needs. As mentioned I do feel they're expensive but you do receive quality and a knowledgeable team.

By far the best shop ive ever been too. Been modifying cars for 7 years and this is the most down to earth and helpful shop. Been seeing reviews saying theyre expensive but theyre really not. They use the best part brands which cost a little more than other brands but, build it right the first time and you wont have to again. Highly recommend this shop.

Owner is nice but staff could use some coaching. They are also way too expensive to do anything. Way over priced

Was looking for OEM bolts for a Jeep over 20 years old. Mopar discontinued the bolts so I call V3 and talk to Derek. He calls me back and tells me they don't have them but he found what I needed at another company. He gave me their phone #, address, and a name of the salesman who is waiting for me to call. I couldn't believe how much V3 done to help me out and never made a dollar for it. It's nice to know there still some good people you can depend on. Thanks Derek and V3 Jeep Shop.

I just went in there today with my 97 rust on the frame it's very repairable I've done research and a lot of it in the past month.. first thing I hear is its not that bad from the repair guy. Then derek stepped in and said you have a major rust prob haha. And if i fix that 2foot section the rest will rust out in no time... Looking around i notice all these high dollar modded jeeps mines 20years old so hey I get it not worth your time just be real.. if the owner reads this sorry i didn't get to meet you nice mustangs!

Find a shop that has love for jeeps and is more then half the price as y'all im glad my jeep ain't a turd like Derek stated..

My mother and I went in to get an estimate for a windshield and a back gate on my Jeep. We waited for a long time even though it wasn't busy. It seemed very unorganized and chaotic. Plus, we got the estimate, but the cost could not be pinpointed, because of business. This business is more interested in putting accessories on a Jeep. The price was way too high. We took our business elsewhere and they gave a reasonable price and was able to fit us in within a time frame instead of making an excuse that we're "booked" up.

This place is the best! Prices are very good, parts are great, and staff is knowledgeable. They were awesome dealing with my 4 year old son, and me asking millions of questions. I ended up with the perfect part at a fraction of what I thought I would spend.

They wanted $4000 to fix my jeeps frame. Yea it's bad but $4000 is an extreme number to weld a brace on.

If you are a serious person in need of a serious shop .. for a serious restoration.. don't waist your time. I spoke to Derek by phone for over an hour, twice. We discussed my project, exchanged pictures, etc. then planned to visit the shop. I drove 16 hours round trip just to continue the conversation, see the shop and meet the technician (Michael) who was going to be the primary guy for my build. I will admit, the guys were polite, attentive, had a couple of good recommendations, etc. Derek is a sales guy, talks too much and will certainly lead you on. Michael confided that the shop focus is "really" high margin work. ie. axle upgrades they can do in 3 hours but charge 10, not restoration work. I met the owner, he too was a nice guy, polite and engaging.. In total, I spent about 3 hours there and left confident we'd be moving forward with next steps, based on my conversation with Derek. Bottom line, after two or three follow ups to Derek, I never received an estimate. He "promised" he'd send one but hinted they were too busy with spring work to take on a restoration.. I understand there are no guarantees and I certainly don't want a shop who's not interested in the project. However, I find Derek's management skills sub par and unprofessional. We had two lengthy phone calls, planned the visit then spent an afternoon discussing the project (took off work). The whole thing was a waist of time/money and unnecessary. These guys are NOT a restoration shop, they're a jeep repair / modification shop, period. Ask them the last time they did a significant restoration and if they are currently interested in doing a restoration.. then pay attention to their answer.

I really like this place. The people are friendly, and they know what they are doing. While I thought the price was just a little high, but you get what you pay for. I'd recommend this shop for anyone looking for truck work.

I can't say enough good things about these guys. They've done a full engine swap for me on top of numerous other repairs. Their pricing is fair and many times they have actually down sold me on the repairs that other shops said I needed. Derek is the man and this is one of the most trustworthy mechanic shops out there.

Recently, I took my Jeep into get my air horns repaired and new LED headlights installed. The guys at V3 did a great job repairing the air horn problem to include redoing part of the less than professional wiring that the original installer had done. The horns work great now. Christian and Derek suggested upgraded LED headlights which were professionally installed. The lights look great and work perfectly. Derek is one of the most accommodating guys and is very helpful in suggesting quality upgrades at a reasonable price. Highly recommend V3 to Jeep owners.

These guys know their Jeeps. Very reasonably priced. Being in sales, it's nice when they aren't trying upsell you on things you don't need. They'd rather you be happy and have what you need rather than making a bunch of money off you.

Their quotes are crazy expensive, without seeing it I got quoted $400-$500 to wire up a couple running lights and turn signals. Seems like you want to go there for the culture but the price doesn’t agree with the work.

If I could give them 10 stars i would! Honestly has to be the best customer service I’ve ever had in my life. Was in last week to get the front end aligned after i did a complete rebuild. They didn’t really have the time to do it, they made time since I’m almost an hour from them. After working on it for a few hours they still weren’t happy with it but it was already after closing time so they got it as close as they could and told me to take it home and see how it feels and if it wasn’t right they would make it right! Long story short bump-steer, need i say more? After a few evenings of working on it i went back by there to tell them what it was, which was the defective Teraflex Monster Track bar I purchased at V3 a couple weeks prior and i discovered the wheel spacers were not the right ones for the Rockstar rims i have. So i call and let them know I’m on my way down today to get a new track bar, by the time I get there Derek already has the new track bar and 4 new wheel spacers ready to go for me. Not only did he tell me the wheel spacers were on the house he also handed me every penny I paid last week while i was there. I told him he didn’t need to do that i was more than happy that he gave me the wheel spacers free of charge. He insisted and apologized for it not being right. Now I didn’t call down there and yell and scream cause i had to have something fixed when i left there i just let them know what went on so if it happens with someone else’s Jeep they will know. I say that because he in no way did this to get me off his back about something. He told me that keeping his loyal customers is more important. Being a mechanic myself i know how easy it is to miss something so I’m understanding about stuff like this. Honestly you cant get much more humble than what Derek and the rest of the guys at V3 Jeep Shop. Everyone can look over something or make a mistake, its what you do to correct that mistake that is the important part because that’s the part that people will never forget! They are definitely worth my drive across the bridge to get there!

I don't do business with people who don't return my phone calls. I was told I had an appointment to have my jeep looked at. I waited 3 weeks to get put on the schedule. I called twice and never got an appointment or a return phone call. That is a poor way to do business. No thanks.

Very helpful people at first. Then after the work was done and I was given the price it was $1,000 over the original price. I agreed to the extra brake work, but there was an oversight on who was supposed to call me and tell me about a $505 part that was needed. I was treated as though it was my fault I was contacted and there was no remorse from the owner. Not doing business here again.

Great people to do business with., I purchased a winch and recovery bumper, they ordered in for me. I received quickly. They also helped figure out what tires I could run on my truck, knowing I wasn't buying them from them. Great people not many people will help if your not buying everything from them. I strongly recommend these guys. Honest friendly and very helpful. Thanks

On a wheeling trip and traveling from KC to West Virginia and an ABS issue popped up on my Jeep. I called them from the road and asked them if they could squeeze me in for a quick fix. They took care of me in under an hour. AWESOME SHOP! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
