The most thorough, honest and affordable mechanics around. As a matter of fact the OTHER mechanics will refer me to these guys when THEY can't solve the problem. They are truly the "mechanics mechanic." Great job Jesus and Angel!

I was driving a minivan with two toddlers. I started to hear a scratching sound by front bumper. I started to look for nearest auto repair shop and ended up at this auto repair shop. As soon as i parked the car, a gentleman approached and asked me if he could help, i told him the issue and without hesitation, he got underneath the front bumper and started to work on it.

He told me the guard was torn and needed to be taken off due to safety issue. Not only he took ot off, he spent time to tell me what needed to be done in nice and polite way. When asked him how much i owe him, he said "dont worry". Not only he didnt charge me, he did not force me come back to his shop to repair. OMG. I have never experienced such a great enounter with auto mechanic.

I prokised him i have two cars and will be back for the service. I know he will be my favorite mechanic from now on. His name is Jesus Martindelcampo that i found out from his business card. Jesus, You ar the Best and i will be your customer forever!. Thank you.

I don't usually write reviews, but Angel warrants one. I brought a recently bought van in on short notice with plans of using it to take a bike to a track day that weekend. He replaced all four wheel bearings, brakes, both idler arms, and did an alignment in a day. On top of that, he did it for a very reasonable price. I will definitely be referring my friends and family to Performance Auto in the future, they are awesome.

My vehicle broke down 10 years ago and needed a ton of work which Toyota CV quoted me a ridiculous price on! A friend told me to call Performance Auto and they did the job for HALF of the price! I've been using them ever since for all of my oil changes, smog inspections and mechanic work. It is extremely difficult to find an honest mechanic and I have to say I have NEVER had any issues with these guys (Jesus & Angel)!

If they notice that something needs to be done that I'm not aware of they will tell me but NEVER pressure me about it. If you're looking for a trustworthy, on the level, fast and amazing mechanic your search has ended here at Performance Auto Repair & Smog!

Good, humble guys I have been going to for the last 11 years. Their prices are fair. They never "upsell" me extra services I didn't need especially if it's a car-fix I can do myself. And I have never had a faulty/botch repair from them.

You know it's difficult to find someone you trust and even harder a mechanic. Your life and if you have kids, in my case, are in there hands. I found Angel and Jesus the owners of the shop, no employees, the most professional workers. They will take there time to describe the issue and listen to your questions and concerns. I just sat here for 2 hours and watched them turn away 2 because their car didn't need what they came in for. If that not honesty I don't know what is, the best I tell you, the best.

I was totally amazed by the excellent work and the friendly customer service that this place provides. Both Jesus and his employees are undoubtedly experts at what they do as well as very approachable people. Also, prices are relatively inexpensive. I highly recommend this place. I was totally satisfied and would definitively come back to this place. Jesus and his team are extraordinarily awesome.
