I am thoroughly impressed with CUSTOM CRUISIN, and the impeccable work of the owner Mark. Mark is a master craftsman, and the end result of the restoration of my beloved 1960 Mercury Monterey is proof of this. Mark's work is exacting, meticulous, and precise, and his shop is well equipped and immaculate. Not only does Mark possess the requisite knowledge and experience needed to take on the daunting task of a complete restoration, and the keen eye necessary for the perfect fit and finish of true concours-level bodywork, he also has the passion as well, which, sadly, in this day and age, is not readily found anymore. What's more, Mark is a master installer of custom rims and stereo components, and his electrical wiring is the best you will ever find, with cleanly soldered connections and careful routing. I have been involved in the auto hobby for 30 years, and have utilized many shops and services during that time, and I can assure you that Mark's work is second to no one. So, if you are in need of custom rims, stereo systems, body work, or perhaps a complete restoration, do yourself a favor and do it right the first time by going directly to CUSTOM CRUISIN, and the highly talented, trusted, and recommended Mark.
For the last six years, I have entrusted all my mechanical work to Mark. After moving my business to him away from the dealership, he has saved me countless dollars with his very reasonable labor charges and honesty and good sense about what really needs to be done on the car each time I take it to him. Above all, he saved me countless thousands on purchasing a new car after my engine failed by finding me a very reasonable, slightly used engine, and it even had a six-speed transmission, which makes it even more exciting to drive than my previous five-speed. I now do all my routine car maintenance as well as inside and outside detailing with Mark. He is completely opposite of the money-hungry dealerships who are always fishing for ways to exacerbate the bill. Mark is straight up, honest, knowledgeable, and, above all, completely reliable.
In 2005, my car was hit by another vehicle. I decided to have Mark repaint the whole car, even though only a section needed it. My car was an original Miata factory red, and after exploring paint options, I decided to have it painted with Dodge Viper red. Even after nine years, people remark on how good the car looks and think it's new or been washed and waxed recently. The car has since suffered dents and dings, some major, some minor. Mark has always rendered the car as good as new. The car is not washed often, nor has it ever been waxed. Mark told me his paint job would be superior to the factory's paint job, and nine years later, I can confirm that he was correct.
Other work Mark has done on the car includes sound system installation, replacement of the convertible top, and even replacement of the plastic convertible top window. Over the years, he has always found me rims and wheels that make the car unique looking. People often remark on how nice a car I have and sometime ask me what kind of car it is, not realizing that it has just been accessorized so well.
Bottom line is I trust Mark and Custom Cruisin for all my automotive needs or wants. Anyone to whom I've recommended Mark has always been a satisfied Custom Cruisin customer.

The following are what customers have to say about our tire installation we do for an online tire supplier:
Very pleased to recommend Mark's work. From my initial call to Mark he was on top of my tire delivery and was able to schedule my install promptly. I get nervous when my wheels go near a tire mounting machine. Not with Mark, he knows the task and worked on my car with great care.
He needed to reset one of my valve stem sensors and patiently did so. His shop is clean and he goes about his work with patience and pride. After meeting Mark my worries of scratched wheels are no longer a concern. I hope this review will elevate your fears of taking your car to a shop that after scratching your wheels acts like its one of those things inherent in the process.
Easy to schedule. Confirms work to be done and cost, then does work in a professional and timely manner. Plus, Mark is extremely personable. This is the second time I have used him and will do so in the future.
Very good will use it again
Very courteous Owner/Operator. Scheduling an appointment focused on my schedule and when I arrived I was met at my vehicle when scheduled. His pricing is simple and exactly what he quotes with no attempt to "up-sale" any unnecessary service(s).
Very experienced, latest equipment, prices can't be beat (This was my 4th set of tires completed at Custom Cruisin) Mark is very knowledgeable in many areas. Hard worker and insists on things being correct. The guy (Mark) is top shelf. PS: I knew he was good the first time he did work for me when I seen him use a hand calibrated torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts. That was a first in 12 years. Ed - Richmond VA
Custom Cruisin took care of installing a Tire and Wheel package on my vehicle. This place is customer oriented!
Very professional, courteous, efficient, knowledgeable and cost effective. They have very good equipment and know how to properly use it. The first I have ever seen anyone around here use a torque wrench. You could not ask for better work to be completed.
Installation was quick and done right. I have had experience with most of the other recommended installers in this area and I have had trouble with more than 50 of them. I have no complaints this time and will be using this installer again. Do yourself a favor and leave the big well known guys in Richmond alone and try this smaller shop. You will be much happier when you leave.
Second to none. "Mark" - Best of the Best Ed F.
Mark took care of installing my tires and did an outstanding job. Mounting 35 series tires on 19" rims isn't an easy task as evidenced by the last 2 places I'd taken previous cars that scratched the bajeezus out of 2 of the 4. Not one mark on any of the 4 rims (OEM painted rims on a G35 Coupe at that) and the weights were appropriately placed where they aren't in plain sight. I would very highly recommend them and will do all my business there in the future despite the 25 mile drive. Its small and the ambiance is a bit lacking but for quality work go here and you wont be disappointed
Dropped off my car on Saturday to have my front bumper repaired. These guys had it repaired and ready for pick up on Monday. Now that was quick.
These guys install all my tires and it is always a pleasure dealing with them. No wasted time here. I'm in and out before I can check my email.
This is an excellent shop. I just got a new sports car that has the tire pressure sensors (TPMS) and these guys are the only ones I called that had a clue about this system. They installed the new rims and tires and transferred the tire sensors without a hitch.
Very pleasant and prompt service.
This is the third time I've used these guys and they always do a great job.
Could not have been treated better. Pleasant people, fast service. I highly recommend them.
Good Work. Really quick service.
I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. I was impressed. No hidden fees or high pressure "recommended services" I should get.
I had some Eibach lowering springs installed. They did a great job and even had my car finished ahead of their estimated time. I highly recommend these guys.
Perfect job. These guys are on the ball. I was 30 minutes late for my appointment and they still had me done in less than an hour.
Excellent Service. Tires were mounted and balanced with in a hour. They even washed the brake dust off the rims. Very pleased!
Great Shop. They called as soon as the tires arrived to schedule the installation. This is the second time I have used them and I am never disappointed.
This was the way to buy tires and have them installed. The people at Custom Cruisin were very fast and knowledgeable. I will go there again to have tires installed
He did a good job would go back .
Very friendly and professional. Will use again.
Custom Crusin has installed three set of tires on these rims (I've had these rims on my last two cars). The rims are still round and have no installation scratches. CC will do my fourth set as well. I'm happy.
