Garage BOSO was founded in Gardena, California in 2006 on the basis of a single idea; our goal from the beginning was to build and maintain drift cars without any compromise to the quality of our workmanship. In the end, everything else has little substance. If you want the cheapest job possible, you have come to the wrong place. High quality workmanship, a high level of skill and technical know-how, and honesty with our customers. Garage BOSO, and if you didn't know, now you know.
We started with a 1500 square foot facility, but soon after opening it was apparent that we were going to need more space. The main shop was moved to another facility which expanded out to 3500 square feet. With the larger space, our business grew further and our reputation for high quality worksmanship was becoming known throughout the industry. Once again, we needed more space. In less than a single year from opening our shop, we were forced to move twice due to customer demand. Today, Garage BOSO has 2 facilities with over 7500 square feet. We are located in the heart of Gardena, California; the home of import motorsports in North America.

Everybody wants to know, but unfortunately, most people don't know. So if you read this, then you'll know. Simply put, BOSO is a lifestyle. It's pretty basic really, because it doesn't matter if you drift, skate, fight, build speaker systems, make pornographic movies, or drink 27 beers a day; you can or may already be living the BOSO lifestyle. We advocate doing shit, as opposed to being a lazy fat ass who does nothing. But that DOESN'T mean you can't be fat and maintain the BOSO lifestyle. On the contrary, fat people always know when to eat, don't need blankets, and can probably kick your ass.
The Word "BOSO" is derived from the Japanese word "Bou-Sou" which is difficult to directly translate into English, but the basic meaning is "reckless." The word is primarily associated with the Japanese phrase "Bou-Sou-ZoKu", which refers to the insane biker gangs or groups in Japan. If you aren't familiar with these groups, don't worry, most people outside of Japan are not. Wikipedia has kindly provided some information about BOSO if you would like to educate yourself further on the subject. (*1)
(*1) - We would like to point out that, in Japan, BOSO is not technically associated with drifting. We did that. And if you didn't know, now you know...
