Hobby Store San Jose Near Me

Douglas Haley: Visited this hobby store on a work trip from LA. Definitely a great selection of parts and accessories. Have a few different vehicles that most other hobby stores do not carry. They also have a cool drift truck in the back as well as a mini crawler feature as well. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the San Jose area.

Roman Gomez: My ninjas

Oscar Pangilinan: One of the few places left in the area where I can find quality model supplies

Samuel Hoult: More stuff than I expected and friendly staff.

Antoine Gatewood: Couch Is the best!! Highly recommended!!!!

Eduardo Martinez: That hobby place is definitely heaven I’ll say this way better than Toys r us only thing I forgot it’s my wallet 😂 found that cool as 89 Pontiac firebird hot wheels and dang it my wallet and that $600 black super car that’s bad as

Matthew Drew: I love this place!!!. They are very knowledgeable and helpful

Garrett Passmore: Super cool track. I came to watch one trip and another trip brought my car. Great atmosphere and friendly towards new racers. Big fan of dirt off road but norcal opened my eyes to carpet! Thank you!

Andrew: Friendly helpful staff. Quality track. Great rc shop

ebel collazo: New to this RC hobby. and I’m loving it. This is best place in town. Anything you can think of they have it.

Greg Vigurs: are willing to help my teenager with his questions. They are very friendly and take the time to explain what is happening and how to fix the issue with the RC. They are part of what encourages him to continue with this hobby and to keep learning. It's really nice to see my son learn and in turn let them know that he is taking in all of their knowledge and advice. We are so happy to return now on a regular basis because of the friendly atmosphere and expert knowledge and support a local business. We highly recommend Nor-Cal Hobbies for their knowledge, patience and family friendly environment.

Patrick Dailey: Very helpful staff, willing to help both new and experienced hobbyists!

Silas Alvizuris: I have a question: Did you guys fix Nitro rc cars

Michael Johns: .This place made me even more excited to not only teach my son but learn more and build upon our current foundation of what we know.Looking forward to bringing my son to play/race especially since he now has a crawler to learn on.

Thomas Overthun: Best place ever. I love the onroad races!!

Marcus Cullen: This place is staffed and run with such an awesome group of people. I visited with my 6-year old daughter and they suggested joining their Tuesday night RC Bootcamp. They were so helpful and supportive as her and a friend continuously crashed their rental trucks.I decided to get her a car for Christmas and was ready to invest in an expensive car and they instead steered me towards a much cheaper entry level RTR.Similarly I was going to replace a Temu knockoff truck, but they told me how to drastically improve performance with really low cost parts.If you're curious about RC cars for yourself or your kids, this is definitely a great place to visit. Races are common on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays --great for watching seasoned enthusiasts, but it's hectic so not the best time for rentals.

george ramirez: Helpful, I'm new to RC

kristal padilla: I didn’t buy anything. I just needed change and the man working was very kind!

Jusef Nathan: Very helpful I should have left a review a long time ago it's places like JJ.s that are keeping the hobby a live genuinely cool people and always are willing to help you with your rig you can tell when a shop loves the hobby

Paul Hess: I’m new to RC and my RC truck wasn’t working they checked it out and turned out it was the battery, it was completely dead. So they jump started it for me and got the truck running. They were super nice and helpful and didn’t even charge me anything. This is my new go to place for RC. They are really knowledgeable, helpful, nice, and most of all very honest, a rare thing today. I highly recommend this business to anyone.

Tricia Cerone: What a first-rate shop! The owner and staff are great folks. There is a chill vibe. The supply of prebuilds seems extensive and they have lots of parts available as well, RJ was helping someone find just the right part while I was there. It seems like a community shop.

Charles Grant: Best place for RC cars in the Bay Area! You will see many online videos of people who buy their cars at JJ Customs. The staff is super friendly and have helped me on many custom projects. Go there, hang out, buy an amazing RC car, you won't be disappointed. 5 stars !!

Ty Milner: Cool shop, cool dudes, cool RCs!

Tyler Jeffress: My son & I were searching the internet for a replacement battery for his RC car, when we happened upon JJ Customs, LLC's website. They had the exact battery that we needed & at a reasonable price. From there, we decided to scroll through their RC vehicle inventory bc my son's 11th birthday was coming up & he has been on the hunt for a cool RC Chevy Truck; well, we found the perfect RC Chevy Truck & placed the order. Within 24-48 hours of placing the order, I received a personal email from Jason with JJ Customs thanking me for my order & giving me information about the shipments. He also lended us a hand locating another 'hard-to-find' RC car battery that he had in his inventory. He took extra time out of his busy day to make sure the dimensions of the battery were correct. Jason also went out of his way to ship the RC Chevy Truck in time for my son's birthday. My husband is a small business owner, so we always look for opportunities to support other small family owned businesses & supporting JJ Customs has been a great decision from the start! I highly recommend JJ Customs bc their personal customer service & quality RC products makes them stand out from the rest! We will definitely be repeat customers! Thank you, JJ Customs, for your kindness & professionalism! Wishing your business great success in the years to come!

luis hernandez: Absolute best

South Bay Vegan: It's a good shop with a wide variety of models & figures, and the staff is knowledgeable. I do wish they'd stock more than just Mr Hobby paints, but ultimately I'm just glad to have an accessible shop that's local.

Leut Dan: Great place for gundam.

Gunner_1408 USA: A++

Patrick Le: A fantastic store with great prices and a super helpful and friendly owner. Master grades are always about 10% off compared to other stores and selection has been plentiful as of late. Cannot recommend enough.

Joshua Lee: A bit small and cramped , but a pretty amazing selection of merchandise and good prices.

Alexis Lopez: Amazing Place! Shop for DragonBall figs, has more to offer, definitely would recommend for Gunpla, and anime fans!

Roni Wong: Place looks like a dump and pretty messy. But people there are super helpful and friendly. Have already came twice to buy their models. Would definitely go again!

George Alvarez: Very nice and knowledgeable, great pricing excellent experience every time I visit!

Robert McChesney: Great shop. Lot of inventory and great prices.

Acidgolem213: One of the few places for you to buy gunpla and it's surprisingly nice. Price is decent and you can definitely find some good gunpla

alexander: Always come here either to just look around or get somethinv and theres always something that catches my eye everything is at a reasonable price this is where i mainly get my saint seiya mythcloth and other stuff owner is very nice and is always awnsering my questions when im at the store or by email, I recommend this place to go take a look or buy something that interests you

Caleb Peterson: Great little store! Helped me and my son get some parts for a train!! Very kind and helpful.

Logic Vang: Okay, after seeing all the mixed reviews on here, I was curious as to how my first visit was going to be like today, and I have to say, it was a positive one.I stopped by half hour after opening. Walked in and started browsing around.This shop has some of the best selection around! I've been to a few around the California, and it's has not been this diverse in what's in stocked.Lots of HO and N Scale inventory.Prices are as competitive as eBay or even better!I picked up 3 N Scale freight cars averaging 24 each; a hopper, center beam, and bulk head. These alone aren't cheap online!My interaction with the owners were pleasant. They both greeted me and extended help if questions arises or if I wanted something behind the glass showcases. Their store and themselves reminds me alot of rural town folks. They warm up when you warm up them up too. I'm not local so it's an environment I'm accustomed to.This shop has a distinct character and one can definitely tell its filled with alot of history and stories. Doesn't hurt to step back and take it for what it is, someone's life long passion being extended out to others. Though they may not meet our versions and expectations of hospitality, they are still here today providing access and products of a hobby that is slowly losing storefronts.I know forsure I'll be coming back for future visits next time I'm in San Jose.

Paul Gillespie: Dennis is a curmudgeon, but selection of trains is large.

Gabriel Quinones: This place by far is awesome the lady at the counter was nice I went there to find a chassis for my sd40 t-2 shell the nice lady said they don’t sell kids anymore and that I could find one at my model train club SVL they know them a lot because they always come to the train shop and buy some trains fromThere so I got two things so did my brother I got a Southern Pacific GE u28 locomotive also know as the “u boat” a submarine used by the Germans and nazis in world war 1 and 2 it runs nice though the sound needs work on i also got a southern pacfifc boxcar too my brother got a amtrack combine and observation car for his vintage amtrack train consist overall this lady is nice and I think she loves her work. ( though I wonder why are there photos of plane crashes and boats sinking I guess they saw it and took photos of them not sure why but it’s interesting

Sl Am: Completley awesome store. I've gone here for years, and I've never had a problem with owners. I had a problem with my locomotive i bought, and they quickly replaced me with a new one. 10/10

Jim Cain: So nice to see a traditional train hobby store. You can actually see the products instead of a small picture on a screen.

Benjamin McDaniel: If your an experienced model railroader, fabulous place to buy and browse trains! If you are still beginning, you might want to learn some thing before you shop.
