The check engine light came on in my car. After having the diagnostic test done I found out that it was my exhaust manifold was closed. I done some price checking by calling around to different shops adding to this I was about to take a road trip out of state a 3 days drive and I not only needed the work done on car but in a timely manner. So I want to thank you guys for the great work you done. Thanks. Eddie G.

I have confidence that the necessary repairs were correctly done. I was disappointed however in the fact that the staff seemed stressed and rushed and curt and disinclined to take time to explain repairs and answer questions. I would probably go there again because years ago it was a friendlier place and I do trust the workmanship, but I didnt enjoy the interactions with staff this time, and I was sorry it had become like that.

Earnie if this is you please call me your new staff is very predictable and. Insincere and extremely obvious in their revanue quest. I remember what you once said there enough real business out there, you do not have to beat anyone you should have shared that philosaphy with your staff.

I’ve used Performance for a number of years. I believe they provide quality service at a fair, competitive price. I have always been treated with courtesy and respect and they are good about letting me know all of the issues upfront with an estimated cost. I have recommended them to a number of my friends.

Another mechanic (Samuel) recommended this place for honest and no BS repair. Ed took the time to explain what was done with my van. Will be back again if future work is needed. Thanks.

Awesome work and great communication. They will always work with their clients and do a great job of explaining all work. Integrity is hard to find with many repair shops but you do not have to worry here. Keep up the great work. The fact that they are busy and have so many repeat customers is what you should be looking for in a repair shop. Great diversity of work when it comes to cars of all types. They are my go to shop for all of my vehicles.

They are honest. And they are very knowledgeable. On all makes and models of automobiles. Their technicians take the time to explain to you what your problem was what they did to repair the problem and what you should do to try not to repeat the same thing again.

Probably the best and most professional shop I’ve ever taken a car too. They hooked me up with a full wiring system on my 72 Mustang made everything nice and neat. Kept me informed and completed everything in a timely manner. Could not be happier with how my car turned out. Bobby and everyone that works there are definitely top notch. Most definitely will go back

I just bought a used Jeep and had a few issues that had to be fixed. Derick, Ernie, and the team fixed my Jeep, and made it so my family could confidently take the Jeep to palm springs this weekend at an affordable price. Thank you! I will be back.

Derek was super genuine and knowledgeable. He had a great sense of humour, in my time of need and kept me informed and calm about the whole situation. I will be coming back, for future repairs.

Its hard to find good quality mechanics who are honest and fair. These guys had every chance to upcharge me but worked in my best interest to save me over $1000 on a Brembo break job by recognizing I had plenty of break left and salvaging what I had rather than doing an unnecessary total replacement. Not only that but they went the extra mile to photograph and document the work done and the parts numbers in case I do need a future replacement to make my job easier.The job they did was fantastic, they were extremely friendly, and punctual. I would recommend them to anyone.

Review №31

I was very unhappy with the service. They had my jeep for 2 week and 1 day. I took it there because the check engine light was on, and could not pass smog. After 2 weeks and 1 day I was told it passed smog but the check engine light was still on. This was an unbelievable $1014.17 and Ed said it would need more work an extra $2,000. I was truly unhappy 😡.

Ernie and Riley have been very professional with how they handle their customer’s cars. They get the job done swiftly while maintaining the high quailty of their craftsmanship. If there is any problems, they are sure to let the customer know before they resume work to ensure they are on the same page and do the work accordingly. This is one of the few Mechanic Shops I can trust to take my car to. 10/10 will always recommend new customers to come here for quality work done.

Love taking my car to Performance Specialities! They take good care of it and don’t let the car go until they have test driven it, explained what they did, and offered me a drive home! I trust them totally. They are the experts! I would recommend them wholeheartedly!

Review №36

My family has been using this business for over 30 years, even though we now live over 30 miles away. I recently had tires out on my truck from a local mechanic, they advised i needed new rotors and brakes. I decided i would have Ernie take a look to confirm. As it tirns out, my rotors and brakes have about 10,000-15,000 miles left in them and did not need anything. They are extremely honest and dependable. I can not recommend them enough

First time to use the services after I found online. Needed a new battery for a BMW 323I. Although they were really busy, Ernie assured me they could work me in and get it taken care of. Good to their word, they installed the battery within an hour at the prize they quoted and took time to cover seat and steering wheel in plastic and disposable floor matt. I’ve found my NEW shop for repairs, they were great!

Review №52

So I was researching a place to take my 11 Dodge Charger to install a cold air intake and to get my oil changed. And I found this place online. I met with Ernie and his son Rylie(forgive me if I misspell it) and the kind of customer service they offered were far beyond my expectations. As one of his workers were working on my car, Ernie actually became a car detailer and removed some scruffs I had on my car which I thought it was paint damage; but it wasnt. So I was really happy about that. Overall, I give this family-owned shop 5 stars for service, willingness to help, and professionalism. I will most definitely recommend this shop to anyone who seeks any type of automotive repair needs.

Straight shooting people and not over priced. They will answer any questions you have and will not do any work to your car that they havent got approved by you. If anything else is found while making a repair they call and ask would you like it done and give a price.

Review №68

If I can give a zero for rating I would. I had an appointment to get my car serviced for an IID device with them at 9am. As I get there to ask for help locating the place, I rudely get told that they cannot see me today because one of the employees called out. I did not get a phone call nor a message advising me to not come in for my service. I’m shocked their was no other mechanic that could do the service. I would have been not as upset with this place is I would have gotten a phone call or at least an apology from the guy who was on the phone with me. Very disappointed with this location.

Ernie and his garage are bar none the most reliable, fair, and trustworthy mechanics in San Diego county. My parents started taking their cars here probably 15 years ago, and I could not be happier with them.
