Here is a story about the perils of trusting a Jeep Shop. So I made a decision to get a AMW4x4 6.4l Hemi Conversion done on my 2011 JKU. I researched the sites and the authorized dealers. I even called AMW4x4 Prior to making a deposit to see if the shop I had in mind was current and in good standing. I was informed that Tactical Offroad in Houston TX was an authorized dealer, and they were in good standing. I then got ahold of the shop directly and got quoted, with a few follow up calls from both me and personnel from the shop. But most specifically I spoke with Clarence Joseph Breaux (CJ) who is the owner of Tactical Offroad in Houston. On 8/23/2022 I made a substantial deposit and was told that parts were being manufactured so it would be a month or two before he even received the kit. During the ensuing month I had made a comment or two regarding being excited about my Hemi conversion on Facebook and the owner of AMW4x4 reached out to verify I had a kit in the making. I was told that kit had left the building and was already on its way to Houston. I still was not able to get my Jeep in for almost another month! When I finally got it in it took until 12/09/2022 for me to get it back and it was just one excuse after another of why it took so long. It was a mess. Let me just start listing all the issues I found. First and foremost was the Transmission pressure diagnostic code that when I looked it up said not to drive it and get it looked at by technicians. There was a wire loom on the frame that CJ said needed to be redone to be safe. And that would cost me $1000 extra! I said go ahead since this is the only time the body would be off. It was not secured and was very shoddy. There were fuel evap lines within millimeters of the bare exhaust pipe close to the engine. The wiring harness was twisted and a mess. The transmission shifter cable had been broken and then just zip tied. There were loose bolts on the driveshaft. The AC lines were not tightened and of course the AC had not been recharged. The coil covers were missing and the routing of hoses and lines on top of the engine was a mess. There were loose ground straps between the engine and body, there was a circuit breaker and a fuse for the stereo that was broken, the battery was dead, so we had to jump start it. There was a pinched and shorting wire harness in the engine compartment of the vehicle. The evap was leaking and throwing a code, the ABS was throwing a code, all of these codes were not present when I dropped it off. He tried telling me that the ABS computer needed to be replaced. At one point during the long wait for them to finish he tried telling me that the ABS connector had been messed with and they needed to re-pin it. When he was unable to get it properly tuned he told me we needed to replace the gears so we would know exactly what we were working with since it was changed by previous owner and I had no idea what the ratio was. I had a tracking device in the vehicle so I saw when he took it to two different transmission shops to have them figure out what was wrong. The AMW4x4 evap relocation bracket was not there. The stainless exhaust had been welded and since they didn’t move the evap canister they bent and changed the orientation of the exhaust and muffler was sideways. There was just so much wrong and I was devastated. I reached out to AMW4x4, Jared, and asked if we could talk about getting this put right. He graciously offered to perform the repairs if I could get it to him. I sent my Jeep up to Holly Michigan to the Holy Grail of Hemi swapped Jeeps and they took it down to the frame and re-installed the hemi and trans the right way. The AMW4x4 way! I am so grateful for the Team at AMW4x4!! Thank you all!! So the moral of this story is that if you are trying to save a little and shop around for a quick and cheap deal, you will end up paying more in dollars and frustration than if you just would have went with your gut to begin with.

Rude. Just called and guy was a jerk. Clearly overworked/ overwhelmed and unhappy workers. Taking my 20k project elsewhere.

Don't come here, Owner is the boss and doesn't participate as a boss. Very rarely will you actually be able to get an update on your vehicle.

Miguel was both professional and personable. He ordered the parts and quickly installed inner fenders. They look amazing.

Just out there breaking axles and hubs with stupid designs

I took my 2008 Jeep JK here because the rear traction bar had become disconnected from my rear axle. I really wish I would of taken it to them first because the first two places I took it too did not do a quality job with the weld and the traction bar kept falling off. The Jeep dealership was charging an outrageous amount just to look at it and another shop told me they did not want touch it after all the welds that had already been done. I took it in to Tactical Off-road to see what could be done. The staff was very professional and I really liked the communication and transparency they had with me throughout the whole repair process. The price was fair and the work was done on schedule. When I picked up my Jeep and inspected the work , the weld was a thousand times better than what I was previously getting and it doesn't look like it is falling off any time soon. I've also noticed that the Jeep has been riding a lot better and is less shaky than before. Lesson learned, you get what you pay for guys. I would strongly recommend anybody to take their Jeep or any Off road vehicle to them. They do quality work. Less

I never got one. They don’t have a machine to do alignments and they outsource to southwest down the the street. And they are worse at customer service. I have been back to get it looked at here and they said it’s good. I took it to another place and it’s off, my front tires are wearing on the inside tread. I have never had a problem with my tires wearing bad. I will never use this place again. Beware if you need an alignment here and they say they can do it. They don’t return your phone calls once they are done with you Less

This friendly guys do very professional work for resonable prices. We are a couple travel the states since half year and have troubles with our Ivecomotorhome from Europe. Tactical Offroad did a perfect work so we can now take our way to the wild west 😁. Thank you so much!

CJ turned around my email within 20 mins. AT 10pm. During the astro's WS game. Can't ask for more than that

I had a major issue happen on a work day morning where my Jeep’s rear track mount completely disassociated itself from the back axle weld. I called every place I could think of and no mechanics would touch it, and the dealership just told me I needed a new axle. Luckily, I found Tactical Off-road on Google & got in touch with Chris Riggs the shop manager. He squeezed me in & fixed not only the track mount, but my alignment and steering issues I was having. He clearly explained how this happened in the first place and discovered an issue that was causing major other issues. My lift kit was put on improperly, & upside down, backwards and bolted into the wrong places. This was pulling my axle, making my steering unaligned, and giving me a bit of an unsteady wobble at highway speeds. This guy knows his stuff, is personable and didn’t make me feel like a complete idiot. I am a young female, so that was pleasantly surprising & made me appreciate Tactical Off-Road and Chris even more than I already did. He also gave me a heads up of some other components on my 100k mile Jeep that I may want to look at getting replaced when he was under the vehicle. All in all, I really appreciated the responsiveness, quick turnaround time of the fix, and the overall friendliness that Tactical Off-Road provided. Will be a lifelong customer from here on out.

Very good service on over the phone diagnosis! Helpful and gave good tips.

Great experience and great service. Will bring my Jeep back for more goodies.

Answer the phone or respond to an email. I have had my Jeep in since July 7th , 2018 and it is February 18,2019! They have my money and all I have received so far is the run around.

After driving a block I knew something was wrong. I went back and he said “that’s just how it is and this is what I wanted”. I took the truck to all out Offroad and at first glance they knew that the 2” puck from my previous leveling kit was never removed. After having All Out Offroad fix it and replace my destroyed lower ball joints the truck rides great. The last time I spoke with the owner he agreed to split the cost of the bill from All Out with me and he hasn’t returned my calls since. Less

Do not recommend.

CJ and his staff are very knowledgeable when installing my coilover lift. My Jeep now rides amazing! Thanks Tactical!

Excellent staff. Knowledgeable. Great work, capable of getting custom work done quickly and done right! Great shop!

I've always enjoyed working with CJ at Tactical Jeeps whenever I get work done or if I just need general questions answered and have found him to be incredibly responsive to my needs and extremely knowledgeable on the solutions Tactical Jeeps has to offer.

Very professional staff. They all seem to be very passionate about their work and it shows!!

Great shop, with the best crew. I love this place. Best in Houston for sure. Also most experienced staff!!! Have recommended a few people and they have all been happy with what the had done too!!

Really happy with the work completed on my jeep! Love the Evo lift. I recommend Tactical Jeeps to all my fellow jeepers!

Great people ! ! ! Awesome work and great products.

Good People! Theu understand how to take care of customers.

These guys are AMAZING! They do amazing work, and do a lot for charity and their community. Love em, Love em, Love em!

Great place. Great service. They love jeeps and off-road vehicles, and their great work shows their dedication.

Excellent work!! Wouldn't take my Jeep anywhere else!

I had my jeep built from the ground up by these guys! Can't say enough good things about the level of service I received, and If I could add 6 stars I would !

The owners and staff have been the most hardworking & honest people I have done business with. Would highly recommend them to everyone I know.

Best service, knowledge and owners in town! They plan some of the best jeep adventures, too!

Can't rate a negative star. Pay your bills. Business is good enough to go play, now you need to pay.

Seems REPUTABLE especially when the owner can't even pay his bill for custom powder coating. :/

My friend charlie bowen left his jeep here almost 9 months ago and has paid close to 13k $ to get coil conversion and other things done to it. When he picked it up over a month ago he had to take the jeep back because it wasn't road Worthy and was all over the road. Here it is over a month later and he still hasn't got his jeep.

Apparently CJ Breaux had some powder coating work done and skipped out on the bill. I'm sure if we brought our Jeeps here we wouldn't be able to get free work done.

Had my jeep done there and ran Into guy who did coating on parts and he told me he never paid him for work he did on coating! Would not take anything here!!

You need to pay your powder coating bill
