What customers say

“16 years ago, my dad would take my 94 Jeep Wrangler to Walt. I'm 34 now and in the auto industry myself. This shop has always stuck with me and looking back at how skillful, knowledgeable, and honest, Walt and his family were, I'm so happy to see they are still going strong in business and thriving. Excellent shop.”

Tess Colby

“We have been taking our many family cars and trucks to Walt for years. We feel that he gives us an honest assessment of what our vehicle needs and prices the work fairly. Our vehicles are returned to us in a timely manner, clean, and, most importantly, working again! He and his staff are always friendly and more than happy to advise us on all things auto.”

Becky Clifton

“I was buying a used car remotely and called Performance Automotive to do the pre-purchase inspection. Walt called me less than an hour later and told me not to buy the car under any circumstances, giving me a list of problems to justify the decision. He was extremely professional, and he didn't even charge me for it. If only all auto mechanics were as trustworthy and professional as Performance Automotive!”
