It is my greatest pleasure to extend a big THANK YOU to you and your staff at Valiants Racing. You guys are such a breath of fresh air in the automotive industry. Your auto repairing is OUTSTANDING and very fair pricing, honest work and just overall very genuine customer service. Thank you so much for repairing my window and its been working absolutely fine. Thank you for repairing it quickly on the same day . I am very impress and will most definitely tell my friends, co -workers, family members and anyone that is in need of any automotive services. It was my first time visiting your shop and you guys left an lasting impression upon me. Thank you Ethan, you aregood- people . I am so glad youre here in Savannah, GA...YES!!!
I’m not really sure where to start. I have brought my car in for multiple performance upgrades over the course of my ownership, and each time I take my car in I am not only thoroughly impressed, I am speechless at the service. Every time I have come, it’s like the experience gets better and better like a fine wine with time. The service provided by Valiants and its crew are second to none, and if you want a shop that stands by its work and is confident in its ability, than this is the place to go. Ethan is one of a kind and truly cares about not only his customers, but the car community as well. If I ever have any questions, they are always answered in detail. After my last service, there is no other shop that I can confidently say will beat the service received at Valiants Racing. They went above and beyond for me, and for that they have a customer for life.
I needed tires mounted on my new wheels for my Tacoma and wanted a shop I knew would treat my new wheels as if they were their own. Ethan always responds quickly and had the work done as soon as I dropped them off. I also was in a bind for new lug nuts for my other vehicle and valiants was the only place in town with the lugs I needed. Saved me from having to wait days on an online order delivery.
Took my 2011 CR-Z to Valiants for issue with my 6spd manual transmission making noises. Ethan and Rob both kept me updated about the status of parts and went out of their way to find me a low mileage replacement transmission at a great price. Had them replace clutch at the same time. Highly recommend Valiants and will continue to do business with them as well as refer people to them.
Ethan is so nice! I sent my car to Ford dealer and they’re trying to charge me $1700+ for the brake system and screen replacement. However, actually the brake system has no issues after check. Ethan is always thinking of customers, he helped me saved more than $1200. He’s the best!
Ethan helped my with all my needs to fix multiple issues with my vehicle. He always sent pictures so that I could see the problem once they were in my engine which made me more at ease that they were doing exactly what they said they were. He also helped me get parts at the lowest price and had great knowledge of which parts were better quality to fit my vehicle. I would 100% recommend Valiants Racing to anyone!
Needed a tire mounted on a Volkswagen the same day. Called, they just said bring it by. They were a lifesaver! I even tried to pay an extra $20 bucks, or buy them some lunch. Ethan refused, said to come back and see them again. Which I definitely will. Professional , courteous, quick. And the price was super reasonable. One of the best overall service experiences Ive had in Savannah. Honest folks that care about the customer.
MK3 Supra 89My cars engine a blown bottom end. I stopped by Valiants for a labor estimate to swap the blown engine for a rebuilt one. The estimate was moderately high, but I agreed to it since the shop had a tech familiar with the MK3 Supra. The swap took a while given parts that needed replacing along the way. The shop completed the swap in a couple of months.The shop did not want to release my car to me because the coolant temp indicator on the dash was reading high. The shop changed the thermostat and suggested that the only way to be safe is to have them install a gauge for hundreds of additional dollars. Im no fool. When I went to pick up my car, the drama continued. I asked the owner if he had an ohm meter I could use to test the temp sensor. He said he didnt. LOL. The shop asked me to sign a liability waiver to drive off with my car. Turns out the issue was a $7 temp sensor near the thermostat jacket that the shop cracked.Other issues discovered:Advanced timingBroken turbo wastegateLoose valve coversRandom loose bolts
Very excellent staff and very reasonably prices, Ethan did an excellent job on installing my headlight lenses on my 04 is300. I’d recommend this shop too everybody!!!! They also installed my intake system on the same car and it runs like new!!! They also fixed a very nasty oil leak and told that I need new shocks and struts....I will definitely be getting to install them...best mechanics in town
Rob is amazing. I took him my 2005 sti with electrical issues. I had previously been to another local performance shop that Im going to choose not to bash at this time. Basically Rob fixed the mistakes the other shop made for half the price. I wont be letting anyone other than the guys at valants touch my subaru locally. Rob even checked up in the weeks following the service to make sure the work all held up.
Despite on Sir ethan’s busy schedule he still help me installed my borla x pipe on my mustang gt for a reasonable price. Tons of jdm products for sale as well and you could get any products on their shop for much cheaper than you can get anywhere else! Worth the visit thank you sir Ethan!
Ive been having trouble finding any semblance of a reliable shop to work on my Focus RS in Savannah. Valiants Racing came highly recommended by a friend and I can say that I was not let down. Ethan helped me choose a new set of tires and as able to source them by the end of the day. It is nice to finally find a shop run by a real motorsport enthusiast.
Had tires put on my fiesta, everyone at the shop was awesome and professional. Ethan definitely makes you feel welcome here! I usually dont trust other people touching my car but everyone at valiants is professional and honest so its always a pleasure dealing with them.
I reached out to them to get some performance parts for my Ford Diesel truck and they really came through. I purchased the coolant/oil filtration and air intake from them and all parts were at a great price and arrived quickly. Even if you see something online reach out to them about a great deal on performance parts. Im glad I decided to do some preventive maintenance with quality parts.
Everyone recommended this place to me for buying stuff for the turbo kit I was piecing together for my car and I just so happened to stumble across Ethan the shop owner on Facebook. Him and I got to talking and I ended up buying a few things off of him. Since then hes been a go to guy for questions and recommendations and he runs his shop and treats every customer the same way he treated me, I cant say enough good things about this place, good prices, great customer service and vast knowledge of the parts they sell, would recommend every time.
Ethan was great to work with! Just picked up a 1 owner S2000 and although pretty turn-key needed a starter (which I decided I couldnt do) and while there decided to have accessory belt done, trans fluid, and rear diff fluid. Ethan knew the vehicle well already, had game plan for specific fluids, and at my request ordered a reman starter. Once the job was done I got a tidy PDF invoice and paper invoice and was able to pay online. Not a thing to complain about, awesome shop.
My experience was 11/10. He can always get you 100% of the parts you want for the best prices around, him self and all of his employees, are extremely passionate, knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. They can diagnose and issue and have you back on the road tearing up corners again. I Wouldnt take my car to anyone else. Even living 7 hours away from Savannah now, id still bring my car to Ethan or Rob to have it worked on.
Great customer service and friendly staff. Was near the shop when we noticed our car’s front guard/shield had broken half off and was scraping the road. The staff were very helpful and took the part off at no charge so that we could continue driving without the scraping.
Great shop! I’ve gotten my fenders rolled previously and recently went to get coilovers installed on a 2015 Acura TLX. Did a flawless job both times. Ethan worked with my schedule and gave me a very good quote for both jobs. Looking forward to doing more business in the future.
Great customer service!!! Great people!!! Great work!!! I couldnt be any happier with the great prices and the great job Rob the tech did on my tires!!! If you need a car or need a vehicle worked one from maintenance to tires go see Ethan and tell him Chris sent you!!!!
Valiants Racing took really good care of my needs for my vehicle. They made sure that I was everything I wanted would be compatible also made sure I was getting top quality. They are the best when it comes to getting the best deal and will be sure to guarantee your parts to be delivered at the respective time frame. I recommend this shop to everyone!
Valiant Racing auto repair shop, this is a small new shop just open few months, the owner Ethan Xu is super kind, fast response, professional they can do many regular auto shop cant do, such as install turbo, any high performance parts. And he can order any parts u want for u for reasonable price. I just have a turbo kit and exhaust system ordered from him, and will install them in his shop. This is the best shop I been in Savannah.
The guy that works there Ethan is a scam. He told me that all I needed was an transmission for my Acura TL. After I bought it, he then said that I needed an engine. After a few weeks he sold my transmission because I took to long to buy a engine but I needed more time and if he would have told me from the beginning then I would have just never brought the transmission. I tried calling him but he would never answer any of my calls which is not professional at all. I would not recommend anyone to this guy he is a scam artist and is an illegal immigrant who tries to steal from certain people and is not fair and something should be done.
Ethan and the crew at Valients Racing are great! They will go out of their way to help you out, working late, even searching for parts that may not be listed on their own website to get you the best price and quickest delivery possible. If you ever need something and cant find it in their store, if you can find a part number they can still usually track it down and help you get one. Great people to do business with!
Words cannot accurately express how incredible this shop is and how amazing Ethan and Ron are. Quick backstory: I drove to Savannah, GA from Dallas, TX for a large car show in the area. Months ago I had ordered a set of custom 3-piece wheels, which unfortunately wouldn’t make it to Dallas in time to mount and balance before leaving for Georgia. So instead, we came up with this crazy idea of shipping them directly to Savannah and having a shop there do it. Valiant Racing was the ONLY shop who was willing to take on the job and the liability of working with my wheels (the dozen others we contacted weren’t willing to risk damaging wheels that expensive).I can’t emphasize enough how accommodating the crew at Valiant Racing was. Not only did they mount and balance the wheels perfectly, but when we encountered a problem while putting the wheels on, they were kind enough to let us keep the car on the lift and even assisted us in fixing the issue.If it hadn’t been for these guys, I wouldn’t have made the show & my 1000 mile journey would have been for nothing. They went above and beyond to help a fellow car enthusiast. I may live in Texas, but these guys definitely won me over as a fan and a customer for life. If you care about your car and want quality work and parts, Valiant Racing is hands down the place to go.
Awesome place very well rounded professional employees. Greatly Priced went there for and oil change. Came out with a new intake for my Honda Civic Si. Not to mention a mugen shift knob for an absolutely awesome price installed and they even did a 24 point inspection thank you. I will be doing business with you gentlemen.
This shop goes above and beyond to make sure your ride is worked on correctly! The owner is outstanding and works with you in any and all situations. Shop has a decent amount of parts in stock as well! Honestly the only place in savannah I know I would ever take my ride and trust that the work is done honestly and to standard! Owner should consider being open Saturdays!! Lol A+++++ Shop!
They helped me figure out the problems to my ride, they offered awesome service, the guys are real cool, they also have an awesome dog, and they offer reasonable price for their service and parts. Definitely recommend going to them for parts and upgrades for your ride!!
Valiants customer service is 100%. I couldnt be more happy with my Flashpro I bought from them. They treat their customers with respect. Fully authentic and quality parts for good prices. I look forward to buying more parts from you in the future. Keep up the good work guys!!
We all want our race car parts to ship as fast as our cars right? That and more is what youll get when you order from Valiants Racing! These guys know their stuff inside and out, and will make sure to get you just what you need, whether its replacement parts, or pieces for your project build.If your in the Savannah area be sure to stop by their shop for top notch service, and if youre not, you can shop online knowing youre getting the best deal and the quickest shipping around!
You know, this might be a little selfish of me by saying this. But, I hope that not too many people discover this shop because they are absolutely excellent! And if too many people discover them, then theyll be booked all of the time lol. But every time Ive taken my car to them, theyve done a complete and thorough job. I can tell you with 100% confidence that you wont be disappointed! As a 14 year 4 time combat veteran with the U.S. Army, I salute Valiants! Thank you.
Recently went to pay Valiants a visit to meet the owner Ethan Xu, who I was reffered to for an issue with my vehicle. Valiants is very knowledgeable and helps suggest the best selections and fixes at unbeatable prices. This is definitely the establishment to meet your automotive and performance needs!
Im all about helping local businesses. I just dont like to get screwed over. Im not the type of person to go out of my way to bad mouth any company. Due to my recent experience, Im going above and beyond what I would normally do, to let people know about a local business that can not be trusted. Im going to make this very short as it does not require me to go in to detail about the experience I had.Below is a Time line of events.6 months ago- I dropped my car off at VALIANTS RACING for an oil change and fluid flush.5 months 3 weeks ago- I was contacted by said shop and was informed that the services were done that the car now had a mysterious tick. Needless to say I was to blame for some reason for my now blown motor.This is where things get a little questionable. I understand that modified cars can be unreliable, but the car ran perfect when it was dropped off. I have had the car professionally built and tuned and Ive never had any problems whatsoever.Why wasnt I contacted immediately about this tick?Soooooo....5 months ago- I made the decision to trust the shop to do my rebuilt and install a stroker motor in the car. The bottom end price... $4800 (inline pro built)The cost of install and all said and done with the price of the motor was north of 8 grand!!!!Its wasnt a problem initially as I understood that things happen.2 months 3 weeks ago- the block came inOver the next 60 DAYS!!!! That car was reassembled. It took forever to get the car back. I was informed multiple times that the car would be ready NEXT week. Lets just say that went on for 8 weeks.3 weeks ago- I picked the car up. I was so fed up with VALIANTS RACING that I went there multiple times to pick up the vehicle and was told it wasnt ready. Over and over I was told next week only to be disappointed.Anyway. Things get better... I GUESS.I picked up the car with a fail safe tune. Which insured the car would be safe until I hit the dyno again at DBW Motorsports. (Pretty much the best tuner around)2 weeks 6 days ago- I drove the car to Savannah Ga from where I live, roughly an hour away. By the time I got to my destination, the car was completely overheated and blowing steam out of the engine bay. I pulled into the closest shop to have them take a look at it.BREAKDOWN OF WHAT WAS WRONG:-loose coolant lines-speed sensor not plugged in-grounds not attached-Intake manifold wasnt even tight. Most of the bolts had a gap that you could visually see.-the car was unable to keep the temperature down at all and it was constantly overheating.-I paid the local shop to investigate whatever was wrong.2 weeks 5 days ago - the owner of VALIANTS RACING came to the local shop that took care of fixing all the mishaps to inspect it himself. Once he saw how bad it was he offered to tow it to his shop and take care of all the repairs on his dime.I didnt want this at all, if they couldnt do it right the first time, why would they be able to do it right this time?TODAY: I was called by Valiants and was informed that the car was finally fixed. I went to pick it up and was informed that I NOW OWE $733.00What in the WORLD is going on here?!?!???I asked him (ETHAN XU) the owner why he was charging me for repairs. He told me that it was my fault for breaking the car and he said he gave me a great discount. HAH!I was unwilling to pay for repairs that he told me he was going to cover.WHY ARE THEY MAKING REPAIRS TO MY BRAND NEW BUILD?!?!?WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME A DISCOUNT ON WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FREE?!?!?I was nice. I gave them a shot. I bought a new motor when the one I had was perfectly fine when I dropped it off. I was patient. And I paid without asking questions.THE BILL FOR REPAIRS WAS IT!!!Im done. I wont pay another dime and hopefully no one else ever does either.If you look at the photos I have posted, you can see the bill I was given. It might even give you a good laugh.Do me a favor. Share this everywhere. And I mean everywhere.
I have been going using Valiants Racing as my go to for anything related to my car since may 2016. The owner is a genuine person and very knowledgeable on all platforms. Valiants isnt just a shop, its a unique business that caters to each customer differently in order to please everyone in the car scene. Whether its new wheels, go fast boltons, rolling fenders or building a motor you can trust that it will get gone 100%. Valiants Racing will always be #1 in the savannah area.
The guys at Valiants Racing will do anything possible to help the car enthusiast community. When I ordered my body parts from them, they even told me somewhere I could get a better deal on the parts, but for them being honest, local, and having the parts in stock, the obvious choice was to order from Valiants. The parts arrived extremely quickly for an order of body parts, and they were in excellent condition. I would highly recommend doing any business you can with Valiants as they are professional, honest, and can get just about anything you are looking for.
One time , I got check engine light on, I was wondering I would have a big problem and would cost me a lot, usually is, their technicians had taken care of it, to my surprise, very quickly they fixed the problem and cost is much less then I thought, I really appreciate, love this place and would recommend it.
Id Give them 6 stars if i could. They are SUPER helpful and work with you on finding parts and getting the best price possible. They carry pretty much everything and anything you need. Been shopping through them for the past year and a half. Have to say im fully satisfied.

2021-11-04Hit up Valiant Racing up on Monday morning to put in a order. I told them what I wanted but wasn’t sure if the lug nuts would make it in time for the rims to get tires mount/balance/tpms. Surely enough they said yes and put the item for over night shipping. Everything came in Wednesday. Very fast and professional. Ethan even let me know what I needed and place a order for it right away. That’s why I only go to Valiant Racing. A place you can trust and know that they got you covered. Whatever you need or want done. Just know that they will make it happen.

2022-04-27WORST EXPERIENCES EVER. we paid basically 3k for the them to fix our car & it came back with more problems then when we handed them the keys. We have paper work from chevy stating that there were no codes before taking it here. They had our car for 1.5 months. Three lights on the dash now are showing up. The rear view camera is broken. The car is still not running properly. There are scratches on the rim as if someone hit a curb. When bringing up the rear view camera they said it worked fine while in their possession & that it broke after pick up. They refuse to fix the issues that they caused & they refuse to give us copies of the receipts for they new parts that they bought. We took the car to a different shop because we are no comfortable taking it back here. This new shop said in his opinion it didnt look like anyone had been in it. After this we asked for receipts for the parts they ordered & they refused to give us copies. We are very unsatisfied & very disappointed. We felt like we were scammed.

2022-06-23By far one of the better car repair/mod shops in the Savannah area. Throughout the entire process pictures were documented of the service and I was kept up to date on the progress of my particular modification. The price for the work I had done was very reasonable. If you need a simple repair or full bolt ons or custom fabrication on your car this is the place to be. I will be a regular customer for all my cars needs for sure.

2022-04-18After going to three other shops in the area, none of them had the availability (or ability) to press new bushings into the control arms/trailing arms on my Honda. One call is all it took for Valiants to get the ball rolling on the job. Bradley, in particular, was a pleasure to work with. He kept lines of communication open throughout the estimate and repair and maintained an up-beat and positive vibe. Special thanks to Bradley for LITERALLY going out of his way to ensure that my suspension parts were done right and the job was complete. Professional, pleasant, and timely. Would recommend!

2022-03-17My 2015 Hyundai Sonata Was having issues with the AC not blowing cold at all. Just straight warm air. Thought I needed it recharged. But someone told me that it was my air compressor. Took it to these guys for a second opinion and turns out all I needed was my connector to my compressor replaced. These guys are very knowledgeable and thorough! I would definitely recommend! Being a daughter of a mechanic, I don’t trust many shops! I will be taking my vehicles to them from now on! I was really impressed and they did everything in a timely manner.

2022-06-30Ethan and the team at Valiants were exceptional with the service they provided myself and my 96 E36 M3. I was very satisfied with the results and will continue to be a patron at their shop. They were honest, prompt, and skilled - I highly recommend them for service.

2021-02-24If you need any work done on your vehicle Valiants Racing should be your first stop. I recently had some coil overs and a clutch upgrade installed on my WRX by them and I was surprised that is was done in one day. Ethan Xu is extremely knowledgeable their prices are amazing, their customer service is great and their customer support is even better. You will not regret doing business with them I promise you.

2022-02-25Friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. My 2010 Honda rides like a new car and they were able to source parts and service the vehicle in a timely manner which is unheard of these days.

2017-11-14I just recently found out about Valiants Racing and I’m very glad I did! I wish I knew about them a long time ago and this is why I’m going to support them and let others know about them. Ethan has been more than helpful to me finding me parts last minute for my build. I was needing a few parts ASAP and I contacted Valiants Racing to place my order. Well my parts came in today earlier than expected. Shipping was very fast and everything is perfect. They have competitive prices and very helpful staff. I will be ordering from the from now on. Thank You Ethan!
