Desert Speed Shock Tuning was one of the the BEST experiences I have ever had. I made the mistake of not going to Matt in the first place. So the shocks on my XPT had been worked on by a different company and they were horrible. Matt completely redid the shocks even repairing the mistakes made by the previous company. He did this all on a moments notice so we could take a family riding that same weekend. I can’t say enough good things about his professionalism, work ethic and skill. Thank you Matt..

Matt went above and beyond in service. I called him 5 days before a world record distance jump. He got the shocks done in one day and brought them out. He then spent two days with me adjusting them to perfection. I jumped 247 feet and landed all 4 tires at the same time. You can’t ask for better than that. I promise you that he is one of the best there is. Thank you again

​Matt was great to work with, professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He stepped me through everything he was doing and was very responsive to questions. When I got the shocks back they looked great and ride even better. Matt has taken the time to check back in with me several times over the past few weeks to see how the shocks are doing. I can’t wait to have him dial them in further at the dunes. I would recommend Matt for any shock tuning needs.​

Matt at desert speed shock tuning is the best!! he has helped me set up 2 race cars now my Polaris and my Can-Am X3 both of them which feel fantastic. he went the extra mile and help me tune the shocks in setup the preload and get all the compression rebound dialed in. he always calls me after my race has to see how things went and to see if there's any changes that we can make seriously the best suspension guy around. If I could give him 10 Stars I would.

I cant say enough good things about the work Desert Speed Shock Tuning! I had Matt help me out with springs and valving setup on my Razor. I never imagined it would ride this smooth and perform so well over whoops! Dont mess around with other companies, do yourself a favor and call Desert Speed first

.Awesome dude! He answered all the questions I had for him. He was also super quick getting my machine back to me! My machine rides 10x better than it did before. Super happy with him tuning it as well. Wouldn’t take my rzr anywhere else for suspension work.

Matt was awesome to deal with all a long the way. This being my first go fast build I really had no clue where to start and Matt had the front end dialed in. Gave me direction to rework shock angles and mounting on the rear, stoked to go out and tune with him to see where the truck ends up. Service was top notch, he is professional and personable! I would highly suggest his services to anybody looking to take their rig to the next level!

I was not happy with my turbo s with the way it rode. It bucked over whoops and would bottom out on dunes transitions no matter where I put the clickers. Matt rebuilt them with Eibach springs and it is now amazing. I picked up the shocks ran home and put them on and headed for the dunes. I can hit anything as fast as I want and it absorbs it all. Matt checked in with me multiple times that day to see how it was working. Great guy, great service. Have your shocks done you won't be disappointed

Super friendly guy, was super helpful and knowledgeable and helped me understand things about my shocks that I previously didn’t know. From everything I’ve heard he’s the best shock guy west of the Mississippi! (Probably in the USA) anyways quality work and will absolutely go back.

Matt has always taken care of myself and friends. From tuning a small RS1 RZR or a 400 truck, he has had me covered. His knowledge base, communication and work ethic is bar none. Even if you don't think you need tuning services on your vehicle, you do and Matt's your guy for the job.

Matt is the man!!!! Super friendly, super helpful and one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever spoken to in regards to shocks! My wife actually likes to ride in the rzr again! You want it done right? Talk to Matt at Desert Speed Shock tuning! Oh and who calls and texts a few days after picking up your rzr to see if you love it? Matt does.... Not a common business practice these days but that’s just what he did, kudos to you man.

Matt is awesome. He rebuilt the shocks on my raptor. I didn’t like a small detail on the rear shocks but live 7 hours away. I was doing a run with Raptor Takeover and he drove down from his house on a Friday night at 9 pm to swap the shocks and do some testing. Absolutely the best customer service that’s humanly possible. You will regret not choosing to use him

Brought in a coil over for a leak repair. Once the shock was torn down an internal component failure was found. Matt took the time to repair an OEM failure and get me back on the road.

Matt is an absolute wizard. Made one pass and he knew exactly what was goin on with my bypasses and everything. I picked up 30+ mph through everything all thanks to Matt! No matter how far you live, a tuning session, or a rebuild, from Matt is worth every mile and every penny. Can’t thank Desert Speed enough! Here’s to a LONG future ahead in partnership with them.

Best place to have any sort of shock service done! Matt stands by his work, and does an excellent job! My Fox Shocks look brand new after spending some time with Matt.

Matt has been amazing to work with, he goes the extra mile to call/ text you to make sure you’re happy with his services which is not the case with a lot of other shops! Since having him service my shocks on my Polaris 1000 Turbo S it has been a night and day difference.
I recommend this upgrade to any SxS owner, and also Matt for his amazing service!

Had my 17 XP4 Turbo Fox shocks revalved and eibach springs done by Desert Speed. I can't emphasise enough at what an awesome job they did. .I wouldn't go anywhere else to have my shocks done. I'd give them a 10 star review if I could. The best shock tuning you can get IMO.

Matt at Desert speed shock tuning is a very knowledgeable shock guy. Had him tune my rail and one of my side by sides at the dunes over Easter and I need to say I was very impressed. Best part of it is after He rebuilt my shocks a couple of weeks prior, he actually came out to tune at the dunes. Highly recommend these guys. Honest, affordable, and knowledgeable.

Matt reworked the King shocks on my Ram 2500 running the Carli Dominator system and I couldn't be happier. Truck rides great and he completed it well under the time I expected it would take. He also checked in after the work to make sure I was happy with the performance. I highly recommend his services.

Matt will go above and beyond to make sure your shocks are perfect for your car. He has gone to extremes to get our shocks ready on our race cars. Met with us hours away from his house to tune them perfectly. He tunes every set of shocks for you, your car and weight so it rides how you want. It's not just a general tune with some springs, it's one on one time. Just when you think they are perfect you get the "but wait there is more" and your car gets faster and smoother

If you want solid results and service your in the right place . I have had Matt work on multiple vehicles of mine, off-road buggies and my daily drivers. He does amazing work, he knows his stuff I’ve tried many others and they just don’t get It . I’m a customer for life 💪
