Baker Built Garage

Jan 06, 2025

Dustin, Brandon & the crew took great care of me and my 93 Integra. I had been a little picky about where I brought my car because I know it’s not very expensive or highly regarded. After reading their reviews and having some work done on my car I am happy to say that they treated my car the same way they would treat a 6 figure car. They cleaned my entire engine before starting work on my timing belt, water pump, oil pump, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket and cam seals. They sent pictures and gave me updates along the entire repair, and were available when ever I had questions. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone because they treat every car like it’s their own. They are very knowledgeable, friendly and fair.

Great shop run by great people, recently took my Type R in and since I have gotten it back it is so more responsive etc, Will be going back for more mods soon. Definitely recommend them.

I had the luxury of meeting Dustin and Brandon a year and a half ago now, and they have been nothing but amazing. They've treated me with the upmost respect, understanding and care. They've also treated my car like it's one of theirs, they sent me pictures of almost every bolt they turned, part they cleaned, and would keep me in the loop. Not once have I ever felt like I was being taken advantage of they are the most upfront shop in the area and build some amazing cars. Before them I had some issues with other shops, and they transformed my trust into shops and I couldn't be happier I found them!

Highly recommend for any Honda/Acura and Toyota needs. First shop I always recommend when needing basic maintenance to performance parts. Great at diagnosing and fixing problems. Is highly thorough in their work. Brandon and Dustin do a superb job inside and out with attention to the smallest details.

I can tell you right now from an exotic car owner, that you are extremely selective of anyone that touches your car. BakerBuilt Garage is the only local shop I will take my cars to. The attention to detail and care for your car is beyond what you will see at most shops. These guys treat your car like it’s their own and aren’t sleezy to tell you your car needs things it truly does not need. I’ve seen some of the bad reviews from cars that cost $5-10k dollars and what they “claimed” to have done. But coming from someone who’s brought a $100,000 car to these guys and seeing how they truly care about your car, rest assured you’re in better than good hands.

If Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift was filmed in Florida, this would be the set. The guys do great work and clearly they love what they do.

I met Dustin and Brandon through my 1998 Toyota Supra. I built the car and just needed a new tuner that was local to me. I've been impressed since the moment I got to his shop. Their automotive knowledge, professionalism, and kindness was above any expectation I had coming in. Great guys, stellar work, killer shop, and more than fair on anything and everything he quoted me. Highly recommended!!

I’m new to the car community in JAX and didn’t know who to go to for mods on my Honda Civic Type R. After attending several car meets, word on the street was to go to Baker Built Garage if I wanted my mods installed or my car tuned. I made an appointment via instagram describing what I needed installed; he was very responsive. I needed a new exhaust and lowering springs installed; he sent over a quote so I knew what to expect. Appointment day came and we went over the parts/install expectations. During the install process he sent me before, during, and after photos. I didn’t realize after lowering my car I needed a realignment (again I’m new to modifying cars); he went above and beyond and had it realigned so that when I picked my car up from him I was 100 percent good to go! I have had no issues with my car post install and will be going back to Baker Built for more mod installs. His service was great, professional and timely. I recommend Baker Built Garage.

These guys are the best. Down to earth, hard working, and very knowledgeable about JDM vehicles. Trust me, if you're struggling with your daily or project car.. save yourself the hassle and go to Baker Built Garage.

Feb 06, 2024

Always helpful and will lead you in the right direction on your build. Does a phenomenal job ands doesn't bs you around

By far the BEST shop in the USA. Been driving Toyota/Lexus, Honda/Acura for 30 years, Dustin & Brandon know cars inside & out. Terrific service, super friendly, attention to detail is unmatched. Everyday driver cars or performance tuning, this is THE PLACE to have your automobile serviced. 5 Star Business

Dustin and Brandon are the only people I trust to work on my vehicles. I have been going to them for literally over a decade and with multiple cars from random Rhd ones to a daily Camry. Perfectionism is an understatement for the quality of work that goes in to every car, they honestly treat the vehicle like it's their own. I normally have a great deal of anxiety when dropping a vehicle off for repairs, not here...not with the homies. Recently picked up my dream car (NSX) and straightaway knew I needed to bring it to Dustin and Brandon, went to update my review and to my dismay,....I thought I had left a review and I had not! Sorry bros! Take your car here, make sure to schedulean appointment and just relax as your vehicle aka baby is basically going to a mechanical spa!

Feb 06, 2024

Got my car in in a timely manner. Was able to figure out my k24 swapped civic’s problem for a no start. Now it’s on the road again!

Feb 06, 2024

Honest, upfront and great value -- especially for the fact they actually clean the parts they take off. Brought my car here twice and it's been a smooth process beginning to end. Bigger jobs they'll take photos as they work on it and show you everything that's going on. Highly recommend.

Feb 06, 2024

Just wanted to give a shout out to Dustin! He goes above and beyond to make sure you get the results you’re looking for. Absolutely hands down best experience I’ve had getting a tune.

Feb 06, 2024

Met Dustin today by accident as we were 14 hours from home and had an issue with our van. Found Bakers by searching Google and so glad we did. Dustin was kind and courteous, knowledgeable and more than fair! Despite saying by appointment only he squeezed us right in and got our problem fixed right up.

Oh man, where do I even begin with this review? I am absolutely blown away by the amazing service I received from BakerBuilt! I was nervous about entrusting my 1991 Acura NSX to just anyone. But from the moment I stepped into their shop, I knew I had made the right choice. First of all, Dustin and Brandon go above and beyond because the bare minimum isn’t enough for them. These guys know cars inside and out, and they treated my NSX like it was their own. When I saw the oil leaks and other issues on my car, I was a little nervous, but they put my mind at ease with their incredible attention to detail and their clear expertise. And let me tell you, the results were absolutely amazing. My NSX is running like an absolute dream now, with a level of performance that I honestly didn't even know was possible. It's like driving a whole new car! But it wasn't just the quality of their work that impressed me - it was their customer service as well. Every step of the way they kept me informed and sent pictures with great detail showing how far in depth they went. They took the time to explain everything they were doing, answer all my questions, and even give me some tips on how to keep my NSX running at its best. Overall, I simply cannot recommend BakerBuilt highly enough. If you're looking for a team of true car experts who will treat your vehicle with the care and attention it deserves, look no further. These guys are the real deal, and I will absolutely be bringing my NSX back to them for any and all future services. Five stars all around!

Have dealt with this shop and owner Dustin many times in past 10yrs+ with many different projects and issue on different cars that other shops butchered or left me dry.he always went above what was asked of the service way Above i cant even name it all .i seen many other projects and customers he did work for all i can say Amazing!! this is one of the shops if they see something wrong extra they fix it and let u know not like other guys just ignore the issue that will cause u headache down the road .. they spend extra time and effort believe me.. in 25yrs of using auto mechanic shops i maybe seen one other shop like this.. Quality of Service is unmatched today what this shop Offers. Go check it out for yourself.

If I can give 100 stars I would. I have a 2002 Lexus GS300, had 63k miles on it. Needed timing and cam seals done. Got the car last week and brought it to BakerBuilt Garage. These guys took care of me without an issue. Changed the timing belt, water pump, the cam seals, crank seal, I asked for the thermostat and new hoses too. During the entire time I my car was at the shop he filled me in via messaging with photos/videos. Never in my life has someone communicated with me so much; usually I have to call and hound the location to get info, or find out what’s going on. Not here, besides that I had a horrible oil leak from the cams that soaked the front and undercarriage of my motor and car. They cleaned it all up, it looks brand new. Not only would I recommend you to go here for all your cars needs (2jz, LS, K Series, or anything that bangs) I would also recommend the staffs professionalism, level of communications, cleanliness of the shop, overall knowledge and honesty. He advised of other things I should look at doing later on and I will take my car back to him to have it done. Even If I lived in Miami I would take my car here. I cannot recommend this shop enough, I was from NYC originally and we are not easy to impress nor are we generally blown away, but BakerBuilt Garage surpasses the customer service of supercar shops I have been to in Long island. I am now a lifelong customer and fan. Update: the car now has about 90k miles on it and I still cannot recommend Baker Built enough to anyone. By far the best group of people I have ever met.

Feb 06, 2024

To say these guys are awesome is the biggest understatement I have ever made!!! I brought them a 2jz engine swap project car that was not complete and they not only finished it they went leaps and bounds out of their way to make sure that the original job was done correctly. Not only did they fix those items, they fixed anything they saw that needed attention. I had spent years trying to find someone, anyone to help me complete this build so the car had sit a long time. There was a-lot of attention needed to keep the car safe. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these guys!!!!!!!

Feb 06, 2023

Brought my j35 swapped s2000 track car to get tuned on AEM EMS v2. Ran into a few bumps on the dyno but Brandon and Dustin were patient, super helpful getting things sorted and the car put down good power and felt great. After the first shakedown run at The Firm, I was having part throttle hesitation issues. I sent Dustin a few data logs and he got me back in right away to check things over. Found the throttle position sensor was the issue, replaced it and all was good. Since then the car has been through 2 more weekends at Sebring and Carolina Motorsports Park without skipping a beat. Can't recommend these guys enough. Would definitely trust them to work on anything I own.

Feb 06, 2023

Brought my turbo integra to them in pretty questionable condition , they buttoned up all the issues put it on the dyno and car has been extremely reliable . If you love your car take it here!

Feb 06, 2023

Brought them my built motor civic. I was doubtful it would run properly since I built it at home and I thought it might have had electrical issues but they worked their magic diagnosing, tuning, and buttoning up the whole setup. The car runs phenomenally now thanks to the knowledgeable and friendly staff at BakerBuilt Garage.

Feb 06, 2023

Dustin and Brandon are very insightful and straight forward. Had an unforeseen problem with my old motor, (yep, you heard right, i had to replace the motor) They got me in and taken care of, with updates and detailed photos of everything! 10/10 would recommend

Feb 06, 2023

Great atmosphere knowledgeable and professional

Feb 06, 2023

If I was able to give this review a 1000/10 I would for sure!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I love and appreciate everything Dustin, Brandon, and the crew did to help my very first motor swap be a success. From getting my P28 ecu chipped with my s300 from all the way to tuning my rebuilt D16z6 on top of adding my gauges on my dash so that I can see how everything is doing… to fixing my header leak and even redoing my AFR on the header that was to close to my axle and Dustin having to re-weld my header, to even Brandon fixing my brakes before going on the dyno, to having to take out my 87 octane and put 93, to doing my oil change with filter all those things and was only charged with the tune, sensor installment, and fuel and oil. Dustin is a man of care! All them are! I would see their sticker on people’s cars at car shows and I see why! Dustin even took me in after hours to wait for my mother to get me since I had to leave the car behind for my valves to get adjusted and he stayed with me for a while even had conversation about his military life to even his child hood on how he was like me and his cars at one point. But till he had to go and not to long later my mom came. But it was honestly a pleasure him staying and waiting with me while my mom came grateful for that!! On the day of the tune it was awesome seeing my project car go full throttle! Every time I went into his shop I would get inspired by other vehicles in there to the point where I ended up even getting RPF1 Wheels on my car because I fell in love with them at his shop with others having them, that I wanted to be part of it! And once everything was done I’m honored to put my BakerBuiltGarage sticker on my Civic and Rep the brand Baker!! Even tho his shop is 40ish min away I will ALWAYS Go there for anything my car may need that I can’t do! Thank You Dustin, Brandon, and the Baker Team for taking me in and helping, and passing knowledge to me! Till this day my car is going strong and pulling hard for a d series. Proud for the car and I to be apart of the baker shop and they will be seeing my car in the future and for even future swaps too! Thank You Dustin, Brandon, and the Baker Team again for everything. Theses guys rock! And are the definition of caring about people and not money! Everything about them will always be a 5 star ⭐️

Feb 06, 2023

I’m very pleased with the way my s2000 feels after Dustin tuned it! I recently moved to the area and my previous tune was horrible, but coming to sea level it was practically undriveable. Dustin started from scratch and did not miss out on any of the details with the new tune. Every aspect was fixed, fuel mapping, decel, VTEC engagement. Everything. I feel like I got a really high quality product. Communication was excellent, I was kept informed throughout the process. I don’t feel like anything was rushed or missed. Highly recommend!!

Feb 06, 2023

This place is hands down the best service I have had in years. I would email them after hours so I would not forget and I would expect them to email back the next business day. They would not wait the next day they would email back right away. I told them to take there time and work on other cars because I was not in any hurry and they never pushed my car back the only down time I had to wait was on parts to get there. They always kept me updated and gave to different choices. I can tell you I will come back for anything major or minor

Feb 06, 2023

Trustworthy and professional guys.had fab work done and tuning done by them.will continues to trust them with my car.thanks guy's

Feb 06, 2023

What can I say other than 100 percent best garage out here. I brought my Supra in with stalling issues and they figured out what was wrong and got me rolling again. Didn't fix one problem and call it good, they tested everything that could've possibly caused it and squared it away and since it'sbeen fixed, have contacted me on multiple occasions making sure it's good and running safe. 100 percent recommend for your JDM fixes or builds!
