After purchasing some new Racecomp lowering springs, I soon realized I was in over my head with the installation procedure. Matt and his team got me scheduled just before the holidays, installed the springs, and properly aligned the car—all in the same day. The car is sitting pretty and feels so much better. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Collin and the team have always treated me well when taking care of my cars. I have brought both my Toyota and Lexus there for alignments and they have put me on schedule pretty quickly and the car rides smoother than it has ever been before. A shop I would definitely recommend to folks and family. Thanks again.

Great experience today. I appreciate the fast scheduling and turn around time. Will continue to use in the future.

I can’t recommend Matt enough! I messaged him explaining my issue with fuel pressure drop at wot that had me stumped. He immediately responded and knew exactly what the cause was. He is extremely knowledgeable on modified Subaru’s and I can’t thank him enough for helping resolve my issue!


Nov 06, 2024

Collins Automotive and Performance is the best ! I've had 2 major repairs done this year .. words can't explain how happy I am with my results . Matt has great Communication skills besides being a great mechanic!

I just got my 2021 Crosstrek aligned after I installed lift springs and new struts and these guys were great. They started working on my Crosstrek within five minutes of arriving and simply asked me how it was running, to which I replied, "Great." When they gave me my keys back there wasn't any BS about needing new brakes, or high beam fluid, just handed me my keys, I paid, and I left. I also got to chat with Matt about maintaining my CVT and he was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back. So happy I don't have to deal with Crew's anymore.


Oct 06, 2024

Matt and his team were amazing! Ran into a few setbacks due to missing/bad parts but Matt was always communicating with me and when time came to pick up my car i could tell how dialed in Matt had gotten everything. Couldn’t be happier! Will definitely be back!

Best performance shop around. I have known Matt for over two years, he has got to be one of the most honest people I have ever met. Anytime I need one of my cars worked on, I don’t Mind making the 2.5 hour ride to Summerville, well worth it.


Sep 06, 2024

I brought my wrx in for a couple mod installs and dyno tune. The car ended up having some issues that I was unaware of, but Matt communicated all the issues to me and was able to get everything fixed up. Car drives amazing and I’ve had zero issues after almost 1,000 miles! Absolute top tier work. I highly recommend Matt and his guys!

I needed to get some lowering springs and wheels installed on my Mustang GT. Since my car has the MagneRide kit, I didn’t want to go to just any shop. After doing some research, I came across Collins Automotive & Performance. They had great reviews, so I decided to reach out via their quote page. Within a few minutes, the owner, Matt, contacted me. We set up a date for the installation. Unfortunately, the lowering kit package had one incorrect spring, but Matt handled everything, reaching out to the manufacturer to get the correct one sent to the shop. Once the job was completed, he also aligned the vehicle perfectly. The Mustang now drives sharply and smoothly. Thank you, Matt! I would rate the experience 10/10 and will recommend them to friends and family.

Took my '24 Acura Integra Type S in for a 4 wheel alignment. Matt and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Even answered questions I had about my WRX. Great service, great communication, and competitive prices! Will use them for all my future vehicle needs. Highly recommend!


Aug 06, 2024

A late review but this a good place to take your car. Honesty, integrity and respect and maturity I got from these people when I brought my car when I had it. They care about you and your car. Communication is extremely excellent. This is the only shop I will bring my car if I’m going to get another in the future. Not a lot of people are serious in their business but this business it’s.


Aug 06, 2024

Thank you for the awesome service on my Evo X. Looking forward to seeing the team on the next service. Collins Auto is an asset to the local Import Scene.


Jul 06, 2024

Awesome experience, brought my WRX in to get a tune and learn more about my car. Matt is extremely comfortable and knowledgeable with the WRX. Very responsive with communication. Price is straight forward, and the guys are thorough. Very easy shop to spend time in. Matt will be my go to guy moving forward.


Jul 06, 2024

Great shop gave me a list of problems and fixed them all in a timely manner. thank you!


Jul 06, 2024

I called them to schedule an appointment for my S-10 pick up. They inform me they don't work on American automobiles, only foreign cars, but they did recommend a repair shop to take it to.


Jul 06, 2024

Matt and his team are always knowledgeable and honest. All the work they do is high quality with a quick turn around. You can tell these guys really take pride in what they do and it shows in every car that comes through the garage. I can't recommend them enough!


Jul 06, 2024

Matt and his team helped bring my dreams into reality with my 2019 Subaru WRX. Their shop was able to handle every maintenance request, upgrade (exterior/interior/engine/performance), and provide helpful advice. This is a trustworthy mechanic that I would personally recommend to any friends/family.


Jul 06, 2024

Matt went above and beyond answering all my questions, communication is A+++. His team took care of a big round of maintenance and reliability mods for my ‘07 STI and went out of the way to help diagnose a faulty accessport. I will be back soon for the next round of mods and tune!


Jun 06, 2024

Excellent service. I lowered my Maverick a little while back. Matt has been great about providing input and advice way before I came in for my alignment today. I was pleased with how he took care of my truck. I really appreciate all the time spent "off the clock" you gave to this fairly simple alignment. Thank you.


Jun 06, 2024

I'm so happy I chose Collins Automotive to install the IAG engine in my 2017 WRX! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by their professionalism and expertise. They explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable with the whole process. The installation itself was top-notch. The mechanics were meticulous and clearly cared about doing a quality job. The engine runs like a dream and the car feels like a completely different beast! The power delivery is incredible and the responsiveness is phenomenal. I highly recommend Collins Automotive to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable shop to work on their Subaru. They're the best in the business.


Jun 06, 2024

Knowledgeable and very professional.


Jun 06, 2024

Matt was excellent. Good communications, does his homework on the right parts, completes work on time and very consistent price to estimates.


Jun 06, 2024

Moved recently to the Charleston area here in South Carolina and I thought for sure I would have to go some near by State to get my Evo worked on till I found Collins Automotive and Performance Shop. Was able to get maintenance and Dyno tuning done in no time. In my opinion the experience I had with this shop was literally 100 times better than STM in upstate NY and they are very well known, definitely a 10/10 shop, so to all Evo owners reading this, this is your go to shop 100%! Thank you Matt for all your hard work and professionalism.


Jun 06, 2024

Recently took my 2015 WRX STI to Matt for an updated tune to address some drivability issues. He was very prompt with correspondence and I was able to schedule within an expedited timeline. Fees and expectations were discussed and agreed upon beforehand. Matt was very professional and kept us updated throughout the process, even when he needed to keep it for an additional day due to something unforeseen with another vehicle. Very happy with the results when I picked up my car the following day; fixed essentially every issue I had with the prior tune. Would recommend and use for future tuning/dyno needs.


May 06, 2024

If you want top quality services, tunes, communication, and hospitality… please come to this shop. Instantaneous responses, keeps you updated, extremely hard working gentleman. If i could put 10/5 stars I would!!


May 06, 2024

Matt did a fantastic job on the car. Had it taken in to drop the oil pan, change the fitment and do a full inspection, and it was out of the shop in one night. I will be taking my car back here for whatever it needs in the future for sure.


May 06, 2024

Matt did an excellent job with the tune and walnut blasting. He communicated with me throughout the whole process and finished everything quickly with no issues. The car feels absolutely amazing!! If you need your Subaru tuned he’s the go-to guy to get it done! My tuning results on my 2020 WRX were 289 WHP, 286 Torque.


May 06, 2024

Matt promptly got me set up for an alignment after I installed lowering springs on my Zl1 Camaro. He was able to get me set up to the exact specs I asked for. The car feels great now. A professional operation at this shop- they are my recommendation for anyone looking for alignment work.


May 06, 2024

Reached out to Matt about a domestic vehicle not knowing that it was a foreign vehicle shop. He helped set me up with someone and offered for us to use his shop. Awesome customer service!


Apr 06, 2024

Amazing, Matt was super helpful and great to talk too, helped me through the process of getting the right parts for my car and did an amazing job tuning. 10/10 will continue going to them.


Apr 06, 2024

As always great experience! Matt is fantastic to work with. He is one of the few people I trust to work my GTR. Don’t hesitate to contact him with anything you need, from Alignment to Transmission builds to fuel system upgrades.


Apr 06, 2024

Excellent customer service. Very fair pricing. I couldn't be happier with the clutch setup they chose for my 2018 wrx!


Apr 06, 2024

Great guys, quality work, and flawless turnaround time. Have peace of mind your car will be treated as it should be. Wouldn’t take my car anywhere else now.


Apr 06, 2024

Took my CT4V Blackwing for an alignment there and honestly it was the best service and quality I could’ve asked for. Hooked me up with a reminder and unexpectedly fast turn around time for someone who’s ALWAYS busy. Would easily recommend them to anyone who needed work done.


Mar 06, 2024

Excellent Experience!!! Honest… Timely .. Professional!!! If You have a Subaru .. This is the only place for Service!! 5 Stars


Mar 06, 2024

I bought an e tune from Collins automotive for my 2018 WRX. Very responsive, helpful, and the tune runs phenomenal. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tune, especially a Subaru.


Mar 06, 2024

Matt and his team are amazing. 89 GTR, no worries. ISF done. Swap wheels and tires for my Highlander.. sure. Great people and great work.


Mar 06, 2024

Matt's passion for cars transcends "autophile". He personally purchases the types of cars he works on so he can explore how they are built, challenges and opportunities. Similar to a dealership, when you go to Matt and his team, you are putting your car in the hands of someone who has worked on the same model car several times before. When it comes to modifications or component replacements, Matt seems to care more about your car than you do, and will not let you make a decision you will regret later. I live in a city over two hours away, but will continue to bring my turbo cars here rather than anyone in Savannah.


Mar 06, 2024

They've helped me and many people I know, very friendly and knowledgeable, this coming from someone that does his own work strictly, I trust them with my car. The cost is there, but the outcome blows it out of the water and definitely shows its worth it. 10 out of 10. Super z approved!
