ARB (page 4 of 5)

I purchased a hilux last year and had some accessories fitted by ARB, through the dealer.

One of those items was the ARB hard lid and Tango system.

I now wish i had gone with the standard Toyota offering.

The ARB hard lid:
- difficult to close, gas struts are too much.
- leaks water, despite being one piece with the sports bar on top.
- wont close properly, the tango system internally fits poorly and seems to come loose often. ...

Charged extra 200 for their mistake. Quote to swap a ling range fuel tank, have way through job realised they couldnt do it then charged me for labour when they are the supposed experience who should have known

Have ordered our second Ascent canopy off ARB. The first one took forever and it seems like the second one will too (still waiting). Nice canopy but wow the timing of the delivery is terrible.

I live about a Kilometre from one of ARB's outlets on South Road, Regency Park, SA. I've purchased 4 main items from them, a refrigerator/freezer, Bull-bar, Winch and an Auxiliary power generator system, for my Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.
The fridge now works, after problems with the auxiliary system have been fixed.
About 5years ago, I had a very high class bull-bar manufactured and fitted. What I wasn't told until after the work was carried out, was that the bodywork of the Toyota Prado would be cut and modified, which means the Bull-bar is...

Back window exploded when it was opened, Glass everywhere and all over my partner. No explanation and when ARB Canning Vale were called their response was, don't know... Now to pay another $700 for a replacement when clearly there is something wrong with these windows. After reading other reviews clearly ARB need to look after their customers and pay for replacement windows and not expect the customer to pay for an OBVIOUS design flaw

ARB ascent canopy rear window exploded, for no apparent reason, parked at the time for about one hour, shattered glass thrown about 5 m, hate to be standing in front of it, rang ARB and was told it can't happen for no reason, well it did, now there out of stock, for some reason, I wonder what!!!

Purchased ome through the Toyota dealer in qld. I travelled from Brisbane to the Atherton tablelands and the rear springs had sagged very badly. I spoke to the local Toyota dealer and they were not interested. I spoke to the selling dealer and they pasted it off to arb. The arb dealer was not interested at all. I went back to Toyota and complained as I paid them for it all. While waiting for them to call back I went to another workshop to have a look and they advised me the springs needed replacement. The workshop I was at called the local arb ...

Booked my new ute for a bullbar, sports bar, Ute liner and tourneau cover. Very happy with the workmanship and quality. Also got a bushmaster light bar fitted and it's fantastic. Well done guys!

Classic canopies have useless grip "switch" type locks to the rear window. No actual handle. Not suitable to people with low grip or arthritic tendency. Solution please ARB.

Purchased ome 600kg suspension from Inverell 4x4 centre gave all specs to owner now springs have sagged ARB wont warrant never ever again absolutely disgusting customer service. Not once has the owner of store contacted me to resolve issues. The only time ARB head office contacted me was when i bagged them out on facebook. Car been back in shop 3 times for measurements and generally not doing much at all except for last visit where they swapped the springs from drivers side to passenger side and vice versa. Guess what springs are still the same absolute morons. Do not buy ARB .Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

I purchased my ARB Air Compressor in 2011, I love it!

It’s been used heavily in that time and shows no signs of slowing down! Mounted in the cab of my 4wd, it’s kept clean and in a happy environment which aids it’s lifespan.

The only downside, the price! But.... you do get what you pay for with ARB.

Great investment

I’ve been into my local arb a few times, and every time I leave I tell myself I’m never going back. Well tried it again yesterday. Rude, uninterested and I get the feeling that if you don’t drive a Toyota or your not in there to spend a fortune, there’s no interest. So I went over to the tjm store, couldn’t have done more to help me, so they got my money. Arb you need to change your attitude.

Recently fitted an ARB Ascent canopy. The fit and finish is fantastic, with the colour matching the vehicle perfectly. The windows are all tinted, and the front window lifts up allowing access to clean the rear window of the vehicles cab. The remote locking linked to the vehicles central locking, and push button window release is a big step up from canopies with separate key locks for the windows and tailgate. There is a neat LED light to illuminate the canopy, and it has an air vent up front to pressurise the canopy and keep dust out, which se...

Walked into the local ARB store today for a Quote on a bullbar for my new Ranger.
I was keen on the Ally bullbar & expected around $2.5k for it.
$3,700.00!!!!!!! What's it made from? Titanium??
They told me Rangers overheat with other manufacturers Bullbars but not with ARB.
So my new Ranger will overheat? I researched the Ranger extensively before I purchased it & have not read/seen any mention of them overheating.
Why do people need to sh*tcan other manufacturers in order to sell their product?
ARB have lost me out of principal. I'll not go back.

Our 2010 D-Max has now had TWO (2)!! rear glass windows on the canopy randomly shatter. One shattered on a bush track when the car was stopped (approx. 3 years ago). Three witnesses standing nearby. The 2nd one shattered in March this year. Again, car had been stopped for about 10 mins and it just randomly exploded. There were 4 adult witnesses and 3 witnesses under the age of 18 standing around the trailer attached to the vehicle when the explosion occurred. So glad I didn't have my head in there to get our gear out .... because that's wh...

Have had an ARB canopy for several years on my 2014 Nissan Navara D22 dual cab ute after purchasing and having it fitted by an ARB dealer in Ballina (since closed). The canopy has a built in heavy duty Rhino Rack roof rack system. Mine has lift up windows each side and a lift up rear glass window. The glass however has no frame as such, is hinged at the top and uses rubber seals around the edges. The rear glass window has two interior lift struts and two locks fitted, along with an internally mounted brake light. The canopy made a massive diffe...

Recently my Colorado was parked in my driveway for a week on the Sunday of my return my rear window of my ARB canopy blew out, canopy not 3 years old. Spoke to ARB told head office my problem as must had stone chip. Well 4 days later I have had the side window blown out and was more or less told someone must be throwing rocks. Now I find that a little bit to easy not once did I have any comments as to this is weird it is all. About stone chip s and temperature changes. While ARB sells good products I would suggest that my canopy may not be one ...

Ran into a bit of car trouble at the start of our holiday, with camper trailer in tow, we made it into ARB Gympie and there was instant relief! Not only was the service amazing, Craig = top lad, but the air conditioning was superb also lol. He had is back on the road in minutes. Couldn't recommend more highly! You're staff are a credit to you.

ARB were to supply & fit red arc electric brake controller. Got there at 8am was to take approx tops of 2 hrs. I am waiting for my 4x4 but instead of 10am it was 2 pm. I paid for the work they had done got into my car drove onto south road got a good run with traffic lights until I had to stop had to use gears to slow down 2 feet on the brake pedal and use hand brake to pull up at 20 kms per hour. They knew there was a problem that's why it took so long to fix it and gave a car with no brakes. Arb told me to take it Toyota I lost my car for a w...

recently had the misfortune of my front window on my Arb classic canopy shatter/ explode for no apparent reason whilst parked in the shade on a 40C day whilst at work. Canopy only 31/2 months old. Replacement cost to fit quoted $695..has anybody else had this happen to themskillsa

First was cheated on my LC200 accessories then inadequate for my needs suspension upgrade. Driving my Lc200 Sahara towing 3000kg caravan (total value of $200000) plus passengers was grocely over my GVM. Didn’t bother them knowing my circumstances (exposing my family and other road users to a hazard plus voiding my insurance for Car and caravan) as long as they get my money. Need to know answer to your questions before you go to them. Unbelievable substandard of service to public. Spoke with state level managers and was told off. Keep away from them if you value your life and investment.

bought an arb 35 litre fridge/freezer after a lot of research. needed certain dimensons to fit under the lid of my ute. the arb fridge ticks all the boxes. 35 litres is plenty for 2 people. its cools quicker than my old mans tried and tested waeco. draws hardly any power.cans at beer at 1/2 degrees is better than mothers milk. you could save some money on a cheaper version or just save for an extra month and invest in a quality fridge from a proven retailer.

Just had an ARB ascent canopy and hugely disappointed, What a show pony. You can not access anything from the side windows as they are too high and too small. The front window is a joke as it flaps around when left open and should slide for air when needed. The rear window is too small and restricts the rear view. The way it sits on the ute is terrible as it does not look like its meant to be there with that ridicules skirt, all in all a show pony thats no good for camping or tradies. Having said that its my stupid fault for selecting it as the...

Over the past few years i have had ARB in Hoppers Crossing do all the accessories for my Toyota Prado 120, Had Airbag Man Load helpers in the rear, ARB Bullbar fitted and a Redarc Tow-Pro Elite as well. So far the over the phone quotes have been accurate and with no hidden costs which is nice. They can tend to be on the more expensive side when i comes to getting gear fitted but they have always done a top job.

I bought the ARB ascent canopy, redarc BCDC charger and a couple of "other" items from the local arb retailer, had it installed by Trent at Kadina, had a few "other" modifications done at the same time to the truck......brilliant service, brilliant fellers to deal with and the work cannot be faulted

a BIG well done from me that's for sure......see you shortly for the reversing camera and the diesel filter
