Rack n Road San Carlos reviews on Yelp!

Kristin G. - San Mateo, CA

I bought a Thule Rack elsewhere and it came without a key. I called these guys and they had the key I needed on hand. Everyone was nice and the service was faster.


Larry T. - Redwood City, CA

Been to this place a few times to secure my hitch/trailer/rack needs, and have always been impressed with their service and price. Here's my last pleasant experience: I had previously checked pricing of an item online (through their own site as well as other locations). Their website claimed the price to be much higher than others, so I went to their store mainly to look at add-ons and to browse a bit. When the manager (friendly, knowledgable guy with a great truck and cool dog) checked the price, it was MUCH lower than their website claimed (and lower than some of the competing sites). AND they had the item in stock. Happily, I bought the item and have never looked back. Past installations have always been quick and clean. Thanks guys!!


John K. - Redwood City, CA

They earned their 5 stars the hard way. They had to deal with me being a "retail dick". I've been to this location at least five times. Many of those times I had an exasperating question. If I bought a hitch off eBay would they install it. Can I swap something that I didn't buy at your store, but is the wrong size. Can you help me get warranty service for Yakima? Jerry, how much does the human head weigh? They easily could have blown me off, but didn't. Well, I said "screw eBay" and bought my hitch from them and they installed it pretty quickly. They have helped with a number of other rack issues. They are very knowledgeable about what they sell and how to make it fit your car. And they've never made me feel like I was wasting their time, even when chatting about local trails.

Saturday at 4am, most would call it morning, but it was the continuation of a long night at the bar for me. Forecast said light breeze with 20% chance of snow, they were right, for once. I’m zooming down the slopes with beautiful blue skies above me. Sunday prediction, 40% chance of snow, so what the heck, why not stay till tomorrow right? After a night of buffet eating we woke up early to hit snow. The only thing I was going to hit that day, was my head against the steering wheel. 8 feet of snow was dumped and along with it, came the next 12 hours of my life...consecutively...spent in car...without bathroom breaks. Moving 2 miles an hour at time, and at others not being able to see a inch in front of you. Feeling like the Donner party, with the exception of the whole cannibalism thing, we finally made it home.

Product of choice4runner is fitted with Thule 757 & 724 w/ fairing for the winter. In the summer it wears the 964 - Revolver 4 Bike Hitch Rack. Tundra is fitted with Yakima bedrider w/ 4 Raptor.

I get car sick easly, so when my friends were planning a trip to Utah to go snowboarding, I thought "Oh hell no". Realizing my lack of financial funds and my desperate need for a vacation, I decided to suck it up and go. The ride was torturous, but the beauty of Park City made up for it. The ambiance of the slopes almost made me forget how horrible I am at snowboarding. Unbeknownst to me the park was closing and I wasn't even half-way down the mountain!! I begged for the ski patrol to get the emergency snowmobile and get my sore butt off the mountain, but they refused. They were full with such encouragement and patience, they didn't mind the overtime. My best boarding experience ever =)

Product of choiceYakima Fullswing 4 with optional Ski attachment, Diamond Back chains to make sure we got there safe and the super big 21 cubic foot roof top cargo box to make sure there was enough room for Daisy "the dog".

After the near 2 week rain storm we had, I figured I had to head up to Tahoe with some friends at least once this year even if the snow fall we had was not that great this year. We left early Friday morning and got to the hill around 9:30. Boarded all day Friday and Saturday. Probably the best broading I will get in all year

Product of choiceDimond Back chains and Thule Atlantis 1600
