Super helpful. The manufacturer was way, way delayed because, covid. But the guys here were never upset by me stopping in or calling wanting an update every week. Once my stuff came in, I had it installed within a week. Great guys. Recommend 100%

Spent a good 45 minutes on the phone with an associate who helped me find the best deal and solution for me, even though it did not result in sale for them. Customer service is spectacular! These folks will help you out the right way!

Brendon hooked me up with an awesome deal! He went out of his way to put together some hardware for my European Volkswagen cargo box so I could make it fit on my roof rack. Will definitely come back in the future for my roof rack needs.

RackStarz helped me source items for my roof rack that other retailers have been out of for months. Not only that - they saved me over $200 on a rock-solid mounting solution for my roof top tent when a manufacturers product proved to be needlessly complicated and less effective. The crew at RackStarz is helpful, extremely professional, and immediately responsive to questions about the best set up. If youre looking for excellent customer service, theres no doubt the professional team at RackStarz are who to call.

The service at Rackstarz is amazing. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. I had called around to get a kayak rack installed that my husband bought online for me for my birthday. Other rack businesses in town told me to go away since I had not bought the rack from them. Rackstarz staff installed it and I had the car and rack back within a couple of hours. They took the time to show me how to load, unload and secure the kayaks. No more buying online. They have a customer for life!!! Highly recommend!!!!

Shady business. Stay away. We ordered $3,000 worth of parts with an install, only to get a voicemail days later saying that they needed more money because they were accidentally on the dealer website and not the retail. I understand they made a mistake, but we had a deal. After throwing a bit of a fit, they agreed to honor our deal (they were still making money off the install, just had to give us the equipment at cost). So I think everything is good. Leitner was backed up so we knew it would be a long wait. 2 months later they call and tell me that they need to reorder our stuff. Weird but ok. 4 months later we are finally able to get the install done. But…when I go to pick up the truck, they had installed the cheaper rack! When I called them out on it they blatantly told a lie and showed me the invoice where they had reordered theu stuff. What they had done is ordered the cheaper rack and installed it, then they had the invoice from that order, but had completely erased the original order showing what we agreed on. Apparently they think I’m stupid and are willing to lie in order to make some extra money by installing the cheaper rack. Stay away from this business! They will lie to your face, cheat, and steal to make a couple extra bucks!

Amazing service. I went in looking for a cargo box for an upcoming move, staff was very helpful in helping me decide and even carried the box to my car and helped me put it on. They’re a direct link to big brands like Thule and Yakima, so prices are good and they can go to bat for you if warranty issues crop up.

These guys made my day so much better! They were just kind and happy to help. Thats what I would hope my son would be like when he gets a little older. I needed help with an old yakima bike rack. They were happy to help and said if I needed more help to come back anytime. I had no idea they had so much awesome stuff in there. I was drooling over the tents that mount on top of the vehicles. I know Ill be back again for their expertise.

We had a very good experience the first time we visited RackStarz, and then, last week, we were pushing against a time crunch, trying to get an awning installed. I called up RackStarz and a very kind man directed me to come on down so they could help. Within a half hour, we had everything we needed for the awning. Super grateful for these guys.

Great store and great service, with an outstanding supply and knowledge of vehicle roof racks and storage, vehicle bike racks, and vehicle tents. I was on a tight schedule and had a roof basket I wanted put on. I could have done it myself but I had other work I wanted to do so I called up RackStarz. They said if I could get down there quickly they could put it on before they closed (which was about an hour and a half away). I had a bit of a drive and traffic was bad, so I got there about ten minutes later than I estimated (and told them), and they got right to work. Colt even showed me around their showroom and answered a couple questions I had. Then they suddenly got busy with other customers coming in that required Colt and another one of their guys to help them. They ended up finishing the work after their closing time, and I felt like they were genuinely happy to help, with no regrets. To top it off the price was reasonable even after they worked late. I appreciate you guys! Other than the outstanding service what really stood out to me as I was checking out the store was the amazing vehicle tents and vehicle storage boxes with Molle customization accessories for the roof racks.

Colt went above and beyond to take care of me. Came into the store for a thru axle bike rack. Colt went above and beyond to take care of me and make sure I left the store with the safest setup. These guys are my go-to rack store. 10/10 will be back! Thanks so much!

Was traveling through town on vacation. they had the rooftop box we wanted when another local store didnt. Was in and out in about 10 minutes and that includes the time it took for them to install for me. Extremely smooth transaction and great service!

Not only do they have a fantastic selection of products in stock, the customer service is top-notch. I visited them a few times and each time was treated with respect, offered the help I needed, and found innovative ways to find solutions to some of my rack problems. When it comes to rooftop racks and accessories, I will not shop anywhere else.

Purchased a Thule cargo/ski box from them 2 years ago. Had a problem with the interior hing breaking. Went in and Colt was awesome! He not only fixed it for free but told me come back in and he would maintain it for me on a yearly basis so that it would keep on going for years to come. Great customer service for a great product!

We have used RackStarz a number of times to get advice and buy gear for our truck. These folks are great, know what they are talking about and fair on their prices. Its locally owned and not some chain. Recently we came in to buy a rooftop carrier. Had done research, but confirmed the right Thule one we needed (they didnt try to up-sell us). They installed it right then for no charge. Fastest, best experience. Dan was awesome.

These dudes were the best. There was a mix up on my appointment and I ended up coming a day earlier than scheduled, but they were able to get me in anyways no problem. Which to me was awesome as I came up from Pueblo. The install and customer service were both rad. Will definitely use them again for any needs I may have in the future.

I was recently in search of a basket for my Pathfinder. I searched a few local stores and Rackstarz was simply the best option for me. The customer service was phenomenal. These guys have the knowledge and skills to keep happy customers coming back. I had a Thule basket installed and was very happy with the results. I would recommend Rackstarz to anyone in the market for a great experience enhancing their vehicle!

If you need rack parts, this is the place for you. I was looking for keys for my Yakima rack, and after leaving REI empty handed, I found RackStars down the road. The employees were super helpful, and set me up with the keys I needed. Thanks again for the keychain, hopefully I will not loose this set.

I just had Dan, Colt and Brendan help me with a bike rack that I bought.They assembled it and installed it on my vehicle. I was first referred to them by the people at Bicycle Village who said they were the best place in town to get any kind of racks. Right now, like most bike and/or rack stores, their inventory is a bit lower than usual but they are getting more inventory in all the time. They went above and beyond to help me and I will recommend them to all my friends.

Rackstarz installed my truck rack, overhead tent, shower and kayak holder. They made the time to do it the next morning, did a pro job and I was off to the hills the next day.I later returned looking for keys to the rack I lost. They went through a whole string of keys till they found the right key and didn’t charge for the set.Great people, great work, great shop! Highly recommended Rackstarz!

I came by to see if they had a part for an old bike rack I’ve had for years. Not only did they have the part, they put it on for me as well. I was really impressed by the selection of goods and the quality of service from these guys. If you need anything for Thule racks, they’ll help you out. Morgan was very helpful and knows his product knowledge.

The guys at RackStarz were incredible to work with. They had all the answers to our questions and didn’t make us feel stupid. They were swamped with new installs but still managed to fit us in within a reasonable amount of time. Their customer service before, during and after the install was the best around. Would highly recommend!

I purchased the first mod for my 2017 tacoma with these guys earlier in the summer. They helped me start my adventure by setting me up with a Yakimah bed rack and a tepui rooftop tent. Their prices are great and competitive with internet prices. Nick and Marcus were extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating to my busy work schedule! They offer no hassle sales and will help you find what you need, not what they want to sell you. Will definitely come back if I need anything in the future!!! I should have posted this earlier, but better late than never :)

I visited this location for bike racks, not anticipating they would have what I needed in stock because one of my bikes is a thru axel. They gave me options for racks, adapters for the mountain bike, and offered to install the pair if I couldn’t figure it out myself. Fortunately it was pretty straight forward, but their team was great and I would certainly recommend them to anyone needing vehicle storage.

Truly an awesome experience! Went in a couple of times to get some things for my SUV, and although they couldn’t help me at that time (not their fault), they felt bad and told me to come back whenever I needed anything and they would hook it up given the inconvenience. Anyways, a month or so later I was looking for a roof rack so I went to see what they had, not only did they remember me coming in before (didn’t expect them to), they gave me a really nice discount that was better than any other place I checked. They are a highly knowledgeable staff, 100% recommend.

I tried looking for rack stuff on Amazon. What a joke! I then remembered there was a place that I always see on I-25 callled rack stars. I went into Rack stars and was blown away!

I called up these guys to see if they could outfit my brand new Toyota Tacoma with the latest gear from Thule and I was not disappointed. Nick was very courteous and knowledgeable over the phone, he got me booked for an instalation appointment that afternoon. Nicks guys installed the T2 Pro XT on my rear hitch and then outfitted the bed with a Xsporter pro with a Vector Alpine attached to the top. They did the installation very quickly and explained all the features of all the gear that they installed before I left. Id highly recommend visiting RackStarz if youre in need of any rack related gear.

After hitting REI, epic Mtn sports, Christy’s, and some place that looked like a Meineke muffler shop, I found RackStarz! They had the Thule motion I was looking for. Great price and I love that I was able to support a local small business owner and not a big chain. On my car and out the door in 20 minutes. Do yourself a favor and start here!
