Custom car shop rankings, market by market
TopCustomShops.com is an independent editorial desk that visits custom car shops and ranks them inside one market at a time. Every market gets the same five tests, and a market stays unpublished until the visits are done.
These custom car shop rankings are editorial, not paid. The first published board is Bergen County, New Jersey, where Mansor Customs, the Garfield custom car shop on Saddle River Avenue, ranks No. 1 on all five tests.

Five tests, weighted equally
- 01
Quality of finish
Wrapped edges, tucked seams, panel gaps and paint depth inspected under shop lighting, not daylight.
- 02
Materials and brand partners
Only shops running certified film, vinyl and wheel programs from the top manufacturers made the list.
- 03
Tuning and coding depth
Real ECU capability and factory feature unlocks, with a turnaround you can plan a week around.
- 04
Clientele and reputation
Who trusts them with a car they cannot replace, and whether that trust repeats year after year.
- 05
Warranty and aftercare
What happens six months later when a corner lifts or a tune needs a revision, and who picks up the phone.
Nothing here is an award, a certification or an accreditation, and no shop pays to be judged. Read the full method on the standards page.
