I brought my 65 Mustang GT to AHP to have them look over the engine and help set a restoration plan in motion. Step one was to deal with carburetor problems which was easily solved with a new Edelbrock carb and manifold which they installed. It ran great when I picked it up and I was super pleased with their work. The next day when I tried to drive the car, I noticed it was having a hard time shifting into second and third gears. I suspected a vacuum leak and checked the connection to the manifold to find it was solid and secure. I called Rick to ask for advice and he said to bring it in which I did. He found the problem was the rubber hose from the steel tube to the vacuum module in the transmission had burst. He replaced it and had me on the road in about 30 minutes. Rick and Alex are top notch guys that know cars and go the extra mile for the customers. All the guys in the garage are great at what they do and seem to take great pride in their work. I would definitely recommend American High Performance for anyone looking to enhance their ride or to bring it back to factory specs.

Easily the best shop in the area and one of the best mechanics I have ever been to. I have been…read moregoing there for about three years now. There have been times that I have taken my car in to them swearing that work needs to be done (used to work on my cars a lot when I was in my teens) and they would check it out and tell me,"Nope, everything looks good." About a year ago my alternator started to go so I took it in and had them replace it. Pick it up a day or two later and go on about my business. About a week later some warmer weather hit and I noticed the A/C wasn't working. Called Tim up, and he assured me that even though he was really busy he would get to it. Sure enough, he checked it out and the A/C not working was due to a connection on the new alternator. He fixed it, no charge. I also had a wheel bearing replaced there back when I first got my car. They replaced it and it started acting up again 15 months later. Even though I was three months out of their "shop warranty" they still fixed it, free of charge. I have more stories like that about these guys so I won't keep going on. I won't go to another mechanic for 50 miles.

I can't tell you how glorious it was to get back in my vehicle with the AC working!…read more The AC compressor (self diagnosed) went out in my 2020 Chevy. I was quoted astronomical numbers elsewhere for the repair - HRM did it for almost half. They confirmed my self diagnosis and completed the work within a few hours. They were friendly, fast, affordable and no bs! Ron kept me informed with updates, etc. I highly recommend them! Thank you everyone at HRM!

I've been a customer of Merv's for almost 20 years, and for good reason. The value and customer…read moreservice has been fantastic. These guys are competent, honest and customer-oriented. This place is a real gem. A couple of examples: in 2005 I had a minor accident in which the rear axle of my Honda CRV was damaged. I looked around for ways to get this fixed, and Merv's game me the best solution - obtain a used axle and parts from a junkyard, rather than brand new parts. That saved me about $2,000, and the replacement parts have performed perfectly for the past 14 years. Second, in 2007, the air conditioner compressor in my Honda CRV exploded - literally. Merv's told me that yes, they could replace it, for about $1,500 - which was consistent with the costs I saw online. Merv's - specifically Larry who still works there - also told me, however, that Honda was having problems with its AC compressors, and suggested that I check with Honda about having them fix this problem, even though the warrantee on my 2004 CRV had expired by then. I did check with Honda, and they agreed to fix my AC compressor at no charge. So - in this case, Merv's referred me to a solution which cost me nothing, instead of taking on the work themselves. In this and other situations, it's clear that Merv's approaches each customer's situation from the customer's perspective. Wow. In a variety of auto service needs over the past 20 years, among a variety of vehicles, I have always found Merv's to be efficient and cost-effective. This is a family-style place. I trust them implicitly with my cars. Any questions? Please feel free to email me at skinsnats@gmail.com. John Quinn, Springfield, CA

About five times now, he's kindly and honestly advised us to replace a car rather than spend too much on repairs -- and he even checked out the cars we were considering on our test drives. Trustworthy, fair pricing, and genuinely nice, friendly people.
