- Death Wobble King -
Seth and company were very flexible and were able to quickly resurrect my extremely bad death wobble on my JK. He offered a very clear and detailed explanation of what was wrong and our options to fix it. He also offers more afford able OEM versus top of the line parts to fix the issue in a package pricing. I don't have a lot of time or the all of the tools and space to do the job and I'm glad I took my jeep to Seth. Easily the best customer service and option I've seen inside the loop after weeks of looking around. Seth is courteous, honest, hard working, and I hope to see

Seth TMC Team assisted me with changing out my CV drive shafts. Replaced with the Teraflex set. I noticed AC wasn't blow later in the day, long story short alternator was draining battery and I got stranded just miles from the shop. I called Seth and he towed me home back to shop. Replaced alternator along with some new battery terminals as well. I am up running on all cylinders again before the BIG 4th Holiday and my trip to Big Bend the week after. I am glad to have Twisted Metal Concepts in Oak Forest!

Seth and his crew were amazing, took a 1988 S10 Blazer to him, with the engine in really poor condition and Seth was able to rebuild the engine, transmission, get it fully ready to pass an Texas State inspection within a few months. The truck runs beautifully and I couldnt' be happier with it. Completely recommend his shop to anybody.

Seth and his team were great to work with. I had a custom/one-off project of installing tow hooks and a light bar on my truck. Custom fabrication was required for the installation in the way I had envisioned it. They were able to deliver exactly what I was looking for and the quality is top tier. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for automotive customization and fabrication.

The crew at Twisted Metal Concepts really know their Jeeps. I brought my JK in for death wobble and to get it trail-ready, Seth and his team were able to diagnose within minutes and hooked me up with some quality TeraFlex parts, of which he actually carries inventory. The installation was quick, clean, and best of all - no more wobble! Looks like a good shop for welding or general metal fabrication of any kind. I highly recommend, even if you need to drive a bit to get to this place.

Seth and his team at Twisted are as professional as they come. They know what theyre doing and tell you exactly what theyll do and how much itll cost before they get started. Super honest and just a great guy and team to get to work with. I told them what I wanted to do with my trucks and like magic it was done. Thanks Seth!
