Performance Service Automotive Specialists

Great auto shop! My «check engine» light went on and the owner Joe got me in and out of there in less than an hour. He was recommended to me by a co-​worker and I was not disappointed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in need of car services.

These guys are the most honest mechanics in California
Amazing customer service and very fair prices

This was an incorrect seiection on my part, please delete this review as it was meant for a different business. Thanks. Family owned for over 30 years, now run by 3 brothers.

My wife went to Performance Auto, and had a great experience. She usually hates talking in our cars because she feels she will be ripped off because she is a woman. I had to work and she reluctantly took in her car and was very impressed. Joe was friendly and fast. We had a cracked radiator and got the car back by the end of the day. Joe showed her where it was cracked so she knew what was wrong. The price was very reasonable and we did not feel overcharged at all. We have found a gem in the auto repair business, and we will be taking our cars to Performance Service Automotive for all our car repairs from now on.

I barely could drive my van to the shop, it was quickly diagnosed as a major transmission hose leak. I was referred to Performance Auto by Coastline Transmission. Due to both shops straightforward diagnosis and repair that I thought was going to possibly be lots incidentals and money turned out to be a no stress fix at what I felt was a fair and honest price, especially since I had no choice in the needed repair.
I would recommend them and would use them again for auto repair.

Roberto is the a great mechanic and a great person he has been my mechanic for several years thru out the cars that i have owned. he’s right hand Carlos work as «A» Team Great job guys …

I initially came to Coastline Auto Shop (which shares a space with Performance Service) because my car started making a heavy thunking sound when shifting from park to drive and from first to second gear, and I was sure this meant there was a transmission issue. Jesse and Angel took a look at the car, test drove it, and scanned the codes for me. After doing so, they showed me the code my car was generating and explained that it was engine-​related, not transmission related. They suggested I take it to my regular mechanic and told me not to let them sell me a new transmission, as that wouldn’t fix the problem. Since I don’t have a regular mechanic in the area yet, I asked if they could recommend someone. They offered to see if Joe at Performance Service could look at my car for me. Joe took a look at my car and, after some investigation, said he thought the problem could be fixed relatively simply with an oil change, engine flush and solenoid cleaning (since they were pretty dirty but still in good shape). He was right — my car is running perfectly now. Needless to say, I was thrilled that what I thought was a transmission issue on my relatively new car would be a simple and inexpensive fix! Both Joe at Performance Service and Jesse and Angel at Coastline were very nice to deal with, very honest, and took the time to explain what was going on and what they were doing every step of the way. I couldn’t have had a better experience and I’ll definitely go back next time I need service.

Great auto shop! These guys have great customer service and fixed my car right the first time. They know what they are talking about and are very polite. I had a great experience with them and will bring my car back here again for all my automotive needs. I would recommend them to anyone who needs service or work done on there car at a fair price!

Best auto shop in the south bay! Ive been taking my car here for years now and wouldnt take it anywere else. The owner Joe is a great guy and makes sure the customer comes first. This shop really stands up to its name!

Roberto, the mechanic is great. He is the only one there that I trust to repair my cars. I feel safe knowing that his estimates are fair and on point. He tells it like it is and won’t try to get you to pay for something that you don’t need or is not broken.

Was referred to this shop by a good friend. My Acura is a 1997 with 250K miles after several disappointments with other shops I took it in hoping that someone would be able to tell me what was wrong. Had several oil leaks and in the last six months have spent thousands of dollars to get the issue repaired but the check engine light continued to come on. I took it to Joe/​Owner and was told that it was the head gasket in which he gave me an estimate of $ 850 and advised me that he was giving me a good deal, at that time I advised him that no other mechanic had stated it was the head gasket so I was glad to know finally what the problem was. At that time I advised Joe that I was unemployed and that I needed to know if the car was worth repairing since it had over 250, 000 miles otherwise it would not be worth it. He said that they would be able to fix the problem and I would be good to go. Took my car in on January 23^rd in which Joe said that it would take some time to get the car fixed which I advised him was not a problem about a week later he called to advise me that there were some other issues that he noticed once the gasket was out, he called to advised me that it would be approximately another $ 400 which I agreed to I then picked up the car in late March. After several weeks of having the car and after spending over $ 2300 he then tells me that I may have a transmission problem, this was only advised after I paid and was there to pick up my car. Last Friday the light came back on I called Joe and he was somewhat sarcastic did not want to take any ownership and I advised him that I needed a smog cert and he said bring it in then. I took it in was somewhat rude told the guy to check it and I was advised by the other mechanic that there was two codes and that he would look into it, before I was told anything Joe advised him to just turn the light off and that I could leave. You would have never known I was a customer due to his rudeness and it seemed by bringing it in it was an inconvenience. Like Elaine in her review its only a good deal if the car is repaired properly. He took no ownership and was not willing to even do anything about it. Needless to say the light was turned off and he basically yelled across the shop that I could leave now, I then went to him and he started to tell me about the transmission in which I advised him how i felt about the issue after spending over $ 2300 he even had the nerve to tell me that I never told him that there was a problem with the transmission but then again how would i know and who is the mechanic? Be careful if he tells you your getting a good deal, the owner lacks any responsibility and has no customer service skills.
