New 4Runner... Needed some new racks... And now I got a new lease on the road of Life... Thanks guys... youve made this man very, very happy... I highly recommend the Rack, right here in the heart of Santa Monica..... five stars for the Boys At Rack Attack!
In and out within 10min. Bough a perfect bike rack. Great customer service and care. All the necessary information was communicated to me in a quick and concise manner. The rep even demonstrated the rack to me on another customers car.
Had to quickly get a Thule Truck rack for an upcoming regatta. Through their 800 number they connected me to their nearest store where they found inventory and I worked directly with their team to workout a shipping method that would ensure it arrived to my house in time. It did and now we are off to the regatta! Super easy installation and great customer service.
A great place to buy a bike rack! Cody was exceptional in his knowledge of the various pros and cons of racks and hitches. Installing the hitch was less than 2 hrs. Prices are very competitive, but its the service that sets them apart.
I been looking for a cargo box for a while now. And just like everything else prices gone up liked crazy. Rackattack.com has a great selection on everything you need for your road trip. I was extremely happy that they do a price match and I was happy I got a great price on my cargo box.
Great experience at Rack Attack in Santa Monica (Los Angeles)! I called ahead early in the day and they had 1 left of the roof basket I wanted, so Daniel said he would hold it for me until I could get down there later that day. It was there as promised and after a quick payment they carefully loaded it into the back of my car. Daniel and 2 other employees were there, and they are were very cool and down to earth. I also bought locks for the rack, and I was planning on getting 4 but they told me honestly that I only really needed 2. Very happy with my experience at Rack Attack! Thanks guys!
Amazing customer service. Came for hitch installation to my car. This place is very busy but with appointment, your car is ready promptly. Very good customer service from everyone working in the store from explaining different options available for your car and your needs to actual installation. Totally worth it.
Cool little shop with cheap outerwear that is decent looking.
Bailey was incredible during my recent experience buying my first rack and cargo box. From my initial phone call through leaving the store after the installation, Bailey was fantastic. He was knowledgeable about products, installation, and using the equipment. He was very patient in going through all of my options with me, and helped me to become 100% comfortable installing and removing the box and the rack myself since it was important to me. I would highly recommend Rack Attack to my friends and family, though I would absolutely wait to work with Bailey as he specifically made the experience excellent.
I got a hitch installed on my car. The staff was very business=like and the process was straight forward. The installation went smoothly, no problems.
Rack Attack is 10/10. I just got a new Audi Q5 and was having a NIGHTMARE trying to purchase a surfboard rack through the dealerships. Dealerships had no inventory, no knowledge of the product and gave me 3 different possible in stock dates; all that were wrong. ONE CALL to Rack Attack and my problems were solved. not only did they fully understand my needs but had multiple different items in stock for me to choose from. My go-to store from here on out.
I needed a hitch for my new Toyota Venza. I got what I needed at Rack Attack in Santa Monica and it was as near a perfect experience. They were quick to provide a price quote, stayed in touch with the latest updates, and did a clean installation. I would highly recommend them for any of your hitch, rack, or carrier needs or questions.
I’ve been a customer of Rack Attack Santa Monica.. I got my Thule Helium Pro 2, Thule Motion XT L and now my Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 - 2 with them. The staff’s been so nice and always willing to ask if you need help or inquiry. Good job!! Customer service at it’s best!!!
I called ahead looking for a rack for my two e-bikes and Eric was so helpful. He recommended the perfect rack for my forerunner, and even offered to put the rack on same day. It was quick and efficient. I was in and out of there within 45 minutes.
This place is great. They helped me select the best roof rack for my car and installed everything perfectly. They are awesome, fast, and friendly!
The guys were beyond great--they answered every single question I had and gave me a good price on the rack. Super cool crew and super great quality of gear! Super stoked on the Thule Wingbar Evo :)
These guys went above and beyond to install my hitch and bike rack! Would for sure recommend this place!!
Informative and helpful. Quick install. Friendly staff. Def recommend.
Great service. Very helpful staff. If you need a rack or rack accessories this is the place to go.
First off thanks Rack Attack!I was looking for a specific product all over the internet and was thrilled when I found out the shop around the corner from me had everything I needed. I stopped by on a weekend and the guys inside were very helpful, they answered all my questions and help me carry everything out to my truck. Before I headed out one of the gentleman gave me some tips on installation and told me if I got stuck just to head back and they would be happy to help. The system I purchased is able to add some extra features to it and once needed I’ll be heading back to pick up some parts. Thanks again guys!
I had a great experience with the folks over at RackAttack. They helped find the perfect roof rack for my vehicle. They were knowledge and patient. I will definitely buy from them again in the future
I pulled into the parking lot and was immediately greeted by an employee. He looked over my SUP Taxi I purchased elsewhere and right away knew the roof rack I needed for my car to make that part function. The transaction was so quick and easy! Thanks Cory. One of my parts had to be ordered so when I returned to have my racks installed a few days later another gentlemen said to give him an hour, but it only took 40 minutes! The employee also printed out the user manual for the SUP for me! I was very impressed by this store and its employees and highly recommend them to all. Well done.
Rack attack installed an inferior trailer hitch (available on Amazon for $70.00 with a 1 star review, see below) on my SUV for $280.00. The rack hung down more than three inches from the cars undercarriage (see photo) eliminating half of the ground clearance and making it useless for driving on anything but perfect roads. When this was pointed out to the manager, he became extremely aggressive and rude, and refused to offer any sort of remediation. Note that when you read the review on Amazon, you find that CURT replaced this hitch with another model in 2016 because of this problem. To summarize Rack Attack installed a discontinued, clearly defective hitch and refused to do anything about it, including removing the hitch, which makes my car practically undriveable.Update 12/3/20. Nate the owner finally got back to me after a week of calling and emailing on my part. He told me that he was not going to do anything to rectify the situation. So - now I am stuck with having to pay a mechanic to take the defective hitch off my car to restore it to the same state it was in when I first took it to Rack Attack.
They guided me through installation and were straightforward and so very nice! Great team and great products. I felt confident in my purchase and my ability to use it when I left. Thanks so very much!!!
Rack Attack is the truth!! Friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to do business with. Pricing is also in line or better than their competitors!Lee MEncino, Ca
I needed to make a purchase for my boss and Ben helped me with an order over the phone. He was extremely friendly and helpful. I was very impressed with his knowledge and I was confident that I was getting the parts I needed. My coworker picked everything up the next day, and he was also very happy with the service he received. Thanks for a very positive experience, Rack Attack! :)
Super prompt and helpful! Needed a trailer hitch fitted, and couldnt have gone smoother. Every email was answered quickly and anytime I needed assistance they were happy to help! Super great experience, will be back for sure for anything I need.
I had a 10:00 AM appointment on May 26th. Much to my surprise I arrived a couple minutes early. The highways were really busy. I read a lot of the reviews before choosing the Santa Monica Store. I live in Lake Havasu City, Arizona over 300 miles away. Let me tell you something, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Everyone in the store the store answered any questions that I ask them, no matter what I ask. Well the said that it would be about an hour to complete the installation. It was less than an hour even with them explaining how everything worked. THEY WERE ALL VERY PROFESSIONAL AND I THANK THEM .I them headed back to Havasu .I opened up the sunroof and I was amazed how it rode. Sorry to say that my phone went dead so there is no pictures. If you are looking for a roof rack and accessories for your vehicle GIVE THEM A CALL!! ONCE AGAIN GENTALMEN THANK YOU!!
I always have a great experience having external hardware installed on either our van or SUV! Excellent staff that are friendly and efficient. Highly recommended business.
If you need a bike rack and hitch....Rack Attack is the place to come. The guys there are very helpful and know their products. Kuat nv 2.0 is solid, strong and sturdy, great for ebikes. Thanks great job guysE & E Brown
The place was small but had everything you needed including super helpful staff. They guided me through installation and were straightforward and so very nice! Great team and great products. I felt confident in my purchase and my ability to use it when I left. Thanks so very much!!!
Rack Attack was great! They took the time to show my husband exactly how to install the luggage carrier we ordered, and gave him some tips. Awesome customer service.
Very knowledgeable staff, quick and efficient service, and high-quality products. From hitch to rack to installation, Rack Attack is a one-stop shopping experience I highly recommend.
Called ahead and the team at Rack Attack answered all my questions about bike racks (so many questions, thanks for your patience!). They had Kuat racks in stock which are very hard to come by. I ordered and prepaid over the phone for the rack and assembly. When I arrived at the appointed pick up time a few hours later the guys were so nice - took the time to mount it to my car and show me how to put my bike on the rack so it was perfectly secure. They were always patient and helpful. Great product and great service.
I came in from out of town to help move my daughter but I forgot the keys to my Rhino Racks. The guys at Rack Attack helped me move my racks without question. Very cordial and helpful.
Great team and service all around!
Super nice and super knowledgeable. Makai (sp?) and the entire team were great!
Glad I found this place. Its nearby, staff is friendly and helpful, snagged an in demand Thule product, and will be going back to get a hitch installed at some point too. They were so much easier to work with than my dealership who couldnt even contact me back after several attempts to purchase with them. Thanks Rack Attack! Keep up the great work.
Thanks for taking care of me Ben. I appreciate your customer service.
They had the Yakima cargo box I was looking for that I couldnt find elsewhere and I was able to make the purchase easily over the phone and arrange for pickup. Everything went smoothly and professional and friendly service. Thank YOU.
Very professional and easy to work with. Best selection in town.
Good experience. They were the only store I could find that had the Thule box I was looking for. Staff was helpful with securing box to the roof racks on my vehicle.
Very helpful, friendly staff. Helped me get exactly what I needed at a fair price. Love my Thule rack!
Here at rack attack in the height of Corona and super grateful for the attention to detail, knowledge of product, timely appointment and overall positive experience. I know how most of the products they carry are in short supply and their lines are quite long but in spite of it makai was overwhelmingly helpful. A++ to makai and his whole team.Easy parking in the back, close proximity to the freeways. Overall an excellent experience
I recently purchased an electric bike and was overwhelmed with conflicting recommendations from people and websites. I contacted Rack Attack who gave me prompt excellent advice with well thought out reasons. This made purchasing the right bike rack for my car (Tesla model S) an easy decision. When I picked up the rack the staff was very friendly and offered to assist me in placing it on the hitch when it arrives. (From another place).I was extremely satisfied with Rack Attack.
Came in and placed an order for some roof racks and storage. They sold me the floor model, but apparently it had already been spoken for. Helped me track down another at one of their other locations and hooked me up. No runaround - just figured out how to get me what I wanted.
Their customer service is stellar!! Super friendly and helpful! went in on Feb26 and both guys at the store were awesome, dude with the Patagonia hat was especially helpful (sorry dont remember his name). Im big on customer service and theirs makes me wanna come back even though its not anywhere close to me when I need their products/services. As a bonus, I got a military veteran discount!! thanks again guys.
The Rack Attack guys were great. They have a price matching policy, so when REI put all of their Yakima and Thule roof racks/accessories on sale for the Fourth, I called Rack Attack, they confirmed the discounted prices and sent over an estimate for me to review and approve. One of the items I had approved was sold out, so they called me with a recommendation of an alternative that would fit my rack. I scheduled a time for the installation and was all set. Very easy and overall great service.
I have had my Kurt rack I bought there 5 years ago. I’m have had a few problems over the years and they fix them for free and super nice. Why can’t every shop in the world be like this. They are the best
Excellent customer service from the initial phone call to the installation process. Super attentive and provided timely updates on my order. The team couldnt have been nicer to deal with!
Loving this store and the service. Getting the rack placed as soon as my car is done at the body shop across the street. Lived in Venice for several years and now in the Brentwood area and I didnt even know they were there. the service is great and very accommodating.
Straight up courteous efficient and expert in their space. Offering varied and creative solutions. Ben leads an excellent team. Thank you
The guys at Rack Attack are second to none. They went above and beyond based on my request and without hesitation came through. Having to wait a few days for an appointment means they are busy and people are willing to wait to get the job done right. Thank you Daniel and team.
Great customer service. They knew the products well and could answer all my questions to ensure I had the bike rack that worked for me. They offer some used racks, I am happy with my choice and for a fair price
Super fast shipping, as so as I paid, my item was on its way. Item as described, super happy!
This place is the worst - avoid at all costs. Drive downtown, to the valley, southbay wherever, and save yourself a big headache. Here you see the trailer hitch they installed that hangs down a few inches from the ground (this hitch has a one star review on Amazon). When I asked for them to remove the hitch (forget a refund), the manager approached me aggressively and refused to remove it. So now were stuck driving around with this thing. Were going to u-haul (downtown) where they helped us identify the proper hitch, and will remove this faulty one at no extra cost.And if youre thinking of installing a roof rack, beware - they also tried to sell us one that did not fit properly (hung over the sides by several inches). And non-refundable!
I had a great series of experiences with Rack Attack in Santa Monica. Summary: if you need rack equipment and installation, head straight there!My experiences in chronological order were these:1. I called in to find out what parts I needed, and if they could do an install for me. Yes they had everything I needed for my Thule roof rack system, and yes they could do the install the next day. I spoke with Cody and he was patient (my questions were confusing because I had previously bought 2 of 3 parts I needed for a Thule system), knowledgeable, and set me up for 24 hours later install.2. I pulled in at the appointed time and they said give us about an hour for the install. Great, I walked across the street to the local Whole Foods to browse. 12 minutes later they called: your racks are ready. Wow, OK, short hour!3. They walked me through the install and told me they install per the Thule spec but I could move the rear bar farther back if I wanted to (the Thule spec width between the front and back bar of 27.5 looks absurdly close together on a normal car and is kind of ridiculous if you are carrying a longboard).4. I moved the bars myself, got nervous that I hadnt done it right, and drove back to Rack Attack for an unofficial checkout of my work. They looked, indeed found I had not screwed down tight enough, and told me how tight to screw in the bolt (you want to wait for the REALLY LOUD CLICK, not the really quiet clicks).5. I bought some roof rack pads while I was there, and again they were helpful to show me what they had on hand and I chose a set.Oh, and all of this takes place during the ongoing virus outbreak, which has to be the most challenging time to run and work in a store. They must only hire exceptionally friendly & helpful people.Head there now for your rack needs!
Everything you need for outdoors you can find it here
I got my Thule Vector box from them which they had in stock and gave me a great price!
Upgraded to a longer bar, no charge! Quick and easy,
Very impressed with their inventory, customer service and level of experience.
Took the time to make sure I got what I needed. Very knowledgeable about their products and Ben at the Lincoln Blvd store in Santa Monica gave great customer service and did a very clean install
These guys were great! The process, in times of Covid, was well sorted. They returned my call and helped me choose the correct fit for my vehicle then emailed me my estimate.Finalizing the order was quick, easy and safe. The items were in stock and the pickup was about 5 mins.Thanks guys!
I had a great experience at Rack Attack. I had called in earlier and they had the item I was looking for in stock. I swung by and was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Just a heads up due to Covid, it looked like their showroom wasnt open but I really didnt need it.
Rack Attack in Venice is great! Guys are very knowledgeable and helpful figuring out best solution for our car. Everything was in stock and install was quick. They took the time to show me how everything works. Highly recommend these guys!
Diego and Luis from the Rack Attack in Los Angeles are fantastic! I had a bit of what I thought was a complicated set up for transporting my heavy kayak, but Diego and Luis did not hesitate to let me know that they could set up my rig without a problem. Not only did they set it up perfectly but it only took them 1 hour. I have now been using this set up on my SUV for a week now. I am so stoked! Daniel and Luis were professional and caring with listening to what I needed and they sure delivered. I highly recommend Rack Attack with Diego and Luis in Los Angeles. Also, the store is stocked with lots of great items. Everything you could ever need to help transport gear on your car!
I cant say enough good things about Rack Attack. Twice, Ive messed up my roof rack on my honda fit and twice the staff fixed it. Special shout out to Ben who is so accommodating and helpful. I really appreciate their expertise! Thanks guys, you made our camping trip!
The team at Rack Attack are amazing. Super knowledgeable, extremely helpful and the job was done quickly within a few hours installing a hitch. The staff are some of the nicest guys you’ll meet. Highly recommended.
Wonderful customer service!
Had trouble with the website so I called. Real person answered with product knowledge and made the sale.
Theyre friendly, knowledgable, and efficient. I got a Yakima SkyBox 16 for our SUV and the buying process was as easy as could be - and the product works great. I definitely recommend talking to these folks for any/all rack-related needs.
Friendly, knowledgeable, professional. Very easy transaction.
Great knowledgeable customer service! They went the extra mile to accommodate the logistics of my switching cars. Really appreciate their expertise and good service. Rack is perfect.
Great staff and service. Extremely knowledgeable and made it so easy!
I bought two Yakima bicycle carriers at least ten years ago, and have moved the set over to new cars twice. Parts were needed both times, the staff had them in stock and made the transitions easy. I stopped in today for a few parts to keep these racks usable for another half year or so, and got great help once again! When I do get a new car, will be buying a new rack set at the Santa Monica location. Theyve always been great help and enthusiastic to help this cheapskate.
Im happy for the services you made. Keep up the excellent job! You guys Rock, Rack Attack!
Customer service is fantastic, and the staff is very knowledgeable. I have bought a variety of things from them over the years, the latest being crossbars for my new car. Every experience there is consistently positive. I strongly recommend this place!
Had the Stealth hitch put on my BMW X3 a week ago at the Santa Monica store. Great showroom, fair price, perfect customer service resulting in a great experience. A walk to Venice Beach during the installation capped off a perfect day. Thanks Rack Attack!
I met a very helpful man at the shop that gave me the information I needed to make the best decision regarding purchasing a bike rack.The location is on the corner and parking is limited.
These guys know their stuff. They helped me find the perfect bike rack with ease and expertise.
I called at 6pm to ask about putting a rack on my car. By 10am the next day I had a rack that fit my car perfectly and looks fantastic. I would 100% recommend getting a rack put on by the the team at Rack Attack.
Searching for a bike rack during COVID19, most stores did not have any in stock or were backordered for months. After emailing Rack Attack, they replied to me quickly saying they luckily had the one I was looking for in stock. After requesting a callback, Rack Attack not only answered all my questions over the phone but arranged to have it shipped to me (not local to the area). They went out of the way to suggest hitch installs in my area as well. Shoutout to Ben for handling the transaction and Daniel for finding the rack in stock.
There were so many people that recently assisted me with my order that I may forget to mention all of them but a big shout-out to Diego, Peter, and Luis. I have an older Lexus and they were able to help me find all the components I need for a clip rack, with a bike, kayak and paddle board component. Also not to mention their price was the best out of anyone that I contacted locally in my home town of Sacramento. They were extremely patient with me and my 1000 questions too! Thank you Rack Attack team.
Great service, advice and products!
I have now purchased my second bike rack from RACK ATTACK. Both times the experience was great. Always professional and knowledgeable about all their products and best options for your needs. And, they do it all with a smile.
This past week, I decided to purchase a rack and travel carrier for my SUV and so I searched up car racks on Google and ran across a Rack Attack dealer near me. When Immy wife and I walked in, we were immediately greeted with a warm welcome by the store team and it made us feel confident that our needs would be met based on what our requirements were, versus what they wanted to sell us. They showed us various rack options and once we settled on a rack, we were undecided between two Thule brand carriers. Since we opted to have our racks installed for us, the Rack Attack guys were able (and more than willing) to show us what each carrier would look like on our vehicle! After showing us both, we clearly liked the second one we were leaning towards. So it was a nice gesture for the store team members to do that for us and for that, we’re very appreciative and would definitely come back for any future needs! We highly recommend Rack Attack in Santa Monica!!!
This place is falling apart look at their sighnI regret coming here they give you High prices and lie to you by telling you that its the cheapest price and when you question the price they get upset and kick you out because you question the High price I will not do any business with this place I dont know how are they doing business
The guys at this place are awesome. One of my side covers for my Thule Aeroblades came flying off on the highway. I went down to the shop on Lincoln and they helped me out right away.They didnt have the left-side cover in stock so they just took the one off the display on the sales floor. They also matched the lock cylinder and installed it right there with the universal key. I was there less than 20 minutes and it was absolutely painless.These people are pros and clearly care about their customers. If youre in the market for some rack stuff, this place should be your first and only stop.
Had a great experience with Carlos: installation took 1 hr even though they had to try 2 different Racks (Thule and Yakima). At installation time, they noticed the rack was slightly obstructing the sunroof opening (by a hair, really) and they offered to reimburse me everything. I decided to keep the rack and I will try to work it out.I would go back to Rack Attack for their professional yet friendly approach.Highly recommended.Bernard
I havent finished and received my order yet, but the ordering process has been exceptionally good.
Great shop - service and selection are top notch. Have bought several racks there and Ive sent lots of friends there as well. Best place in L.A. to buy racks of all kinds.
Great Friendly service amongst the pandemic. Definitely return as future customer, great products cool shop.
