They were super attentive explaining everything. Reliable and fair


Jan 30, 2025

01/23/2025 I brought my car back in again for several issues and new tires and brakes, and am still very happy with Performance Auto! Great people and reasonable prices. I will always bring my car here because I trust them. 06/23/2022 Love this place and Tiffany is so nice! They helped remove a socket that I got stuck on my locking lug nut a few months ago when no other place would help, so when my check engine light came on a few days ago I knew exactly where to take it. They’re 17 miles away from me but I’ll always make the trek for great service! They fixed my car and it was cheaper than I expected! Great people

Tiffany and the crew at Performance are always honest and get the repair done efficiently. I have been a customer for five years now and will always be loyal. I first came to them after seeking help with the turbo on my Sprinter van. Two other repair shops attempted the repair, but we're not able to fix the issue. Performance Auto quickly diagnosed the core issue and repaired it at a fair price.


Jan 06, 2025

First time taking my vehicle into Performance Automotive, and I cannot say enough about how amazing the service was. Very professional and very friendly. They have earned my loyalty as a customer.


Jan 06, 2025

Great service, easily explained the repair process, and kept me updated along the way. Wonderful team they have there!

Dec 06, 2024

I moved out of San Diego, but am still in town part of the time and I try and hold my auto repairs for Performance Automotive. They were recommended to me by a friend and they are honest and want to do things the right way and I'll be back again.


Dec 06, 2024

I’ve been taking my cars here to have it serviced for years now. They provide excellent service and prices are reasonable.


Dec 06, 2024

This shop was great to deal with, the repair took much longer than anticipated, and they still stood by the initial Estimate which I think a lot of shops wouldn’t have done, so they will definitely get my business for years to come


Nov 06, 2024

Great customer service. After complete the vehicle drives very well. Fast turnaround which is amazing!


Nov 06, 2024

Had my RX 450h 60000 mi scheduled maintenance preformed. They did a great job and a great price! I’m very pleased with the results. I will and do recommend this place as a competent place to get your automotive needs taken care of. I’ve used their services numerous times and have Always been pleased

Super awesome shop, very effective and efficient. Very reasonable prices and super friendly staff. This is my go to shop for any mechanic work. They always get the job done better than any dealership I have been to.


Oct 06, 2024

Tiffany and Ryan took great care of my 18 year old’s 2008 Honda Accord and my VERY old 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser! With expert diagnostics and excellent communication, you really can’t beat this place, in cost or confidence. We will be taking our cars here from now on!

For years I’ve been looking for an honest, reliable shop to trust for our car care and we found it!


Sep 06, 2024

Great place! I was referred by a friend after I get a high quote from another business. Performance Auto’s quote was half the cost of the competitor. They also seem very honest, efficient, and kind. Will be going back if I need maintenance done again. Tiffany is great!!


Sep 06, 2024

Great service and very friendly team!! I would highly recommend! Honest and great to work with. We are bringing all of our cars back here.


Sep 06, 2024

They are always so helpful, professional, honest and do VERY GOOD work! In a VERY timely manner!!! Tiffany is so patient and does her best at finding part pricing that works with your budget but also won’t compromise the quality of the repair. I have never had a bad experience here!

I had a good experience with Performance Auto. They are responsive and turn around in a timely manner. This was my first interaction with them, I will take my car back to them for a second time.


Aug 06, 2024

It was a great experience- they got me in and out same day! Very professional and had great prices as well!


Aug 06, 2024

I’ve been bringing my sprinter van to them for service and repair for the last two years, And I’m very happy with the service. They’re very knowledgeable, priced and fair in every situation. If you have a Sprinter, do not hesitate or go anywhere This should be your shop.


Aug 06, 2024

My son is brand new to the area and the team at Performance was very helpful. They were knowledgeable about his vehicle and the price was more than fair.


Aug 06, 2024

Usually I never leave reviews for places but this shop deserves one. Everyone is super friendly and very knowledgeable. I took my jeep for a ball joint replacement, sadly the problem ended up being bigger than that. However, Tiffany was very helpful on giving me different options and they were able to fix my car super fast too! I highly recommend them, they are very transparent and honest about everything! Thank you guys! 🙏🏼🙏🏼


Aug 06, 2024

Very happy with my service! I dropped my car off on Sunday evening and then picked it back up on Monday afternoon (so fast!). They were quick, transparent, and provided great customer service. This is my first personal experience but boyfriend has been coming here for years and they have never disappointed us. Shout out to Tiff who even called us on her day off!


Aug 06, 2024

Wow, these guys know their stuff! My buddy Shane recommended this shop given their reputable service and they did not disappoint. I called them around 4pm and I showed up after close. They stayed back to make sure I got there ok and to lock up my vehicle. My vehicle was ready for pick up the next day by 10:30 am! Tiffany not only took care of my initial problem, but also noticed I needed an oil change and took care of that for me too saving me time and money. I highly recommend this shop for all your needs!


Jul 06, 2024
