so it my first time bringing in my s2000 to this shop, finally after some friends recommendation, got greeted by gary as soon as i walk in, he explained and give me advices on what service needs to be done, about 45mins later my car was done... melody was super friendly and very helpful! read more

Melody helped me with alignment on my car couple months ago after getting it lowered at another shop. With an appointment, the alignment took less than one hour and it ended up being bit cheaper than what they inititold me over the phone. Honest mechanic and will be back in the future. read more

As I wait here in the reception area, I wonder why I even made an appointment in advance here. Not only did Gary make an appointment to service my vehicle a week in advance, I dropped the car off here early (8:30am) and it's still not even finished...it's 5:10pm. All I needed was a whiteline diff bushing installed and the transmission fluid replaced. This is not a 8+ hour job. I wanted to like this place, but this is incredibly frustrating and disappointing. To top it off, I have to pay $400 for it. I wouldn't mind paying it if the work was done well and in a timely manner but this is ridiculous. read more

Gary and Melody at Elite took care of my C7 Z06. Went in to get a cooling issue diagnosed. They worked through multiple challenges and had me back out on the road in no time. Amazing folks! read more

Gary and Melody at elite have helped me multiple times. He has fixed my stripped suspension bolt and done multiple custom alignments. The team is very experienced and I wouldn't trust my car with anyone else. Always a great experience and will continue to go back. read more

12/15 - 91 Pump Gas Ecutek Tune by Eric. *Unmarried the Open Flash Tablet and received the new Ecutek tune on Elite Performances Dynapack. Torque dip eliminated. 1/16 - Track alignment by Eric. *I installed coilovers over the weekend and had the car aligned by Eric. When Eric tried adjusting the driver side rear camber, he noticed the notch used to hold the camber washer in my SPC LCA (from my WRX) was damaged/flattened and they would not hold the alignment. Upon being told the news, I quickly realized my choices were either: 1) Find a replacement SPC LCA and come back the following weekend to fix that side. 2) Switch to SPL LCA's which Elite had in stock. Neither of these options were exercised as Gary quickly fabricated some welds to substitute the flatted notch. ______________________________________________ My experience with Elite Performance has been phenomenal and they are my go to shop. Every time I visit, I meet other track enthusiasts, many of which drive 86's, S2000's, or M3's. Besides providing auto repair, oil change, tires, aftermarket product installation, they also have the ability to dyno tune, custom fabricate! They also accommodate Saturday appointments and often stays late after their closing hours working on customers cars. read more

Car: 370z This is my one stop shop for a lot of things I've done my alignment after coilover installs, tire change, wheel change, seat install and probably coilover adjustments / brake jobs here, and I've started to do my track prep here as well.

Elite Performance - Auto Repair Near Me - Burlingame, California

Let's face it, repair shops are expensive. Anyone looking around for a reputable repair/performance shop knows that. I had reached out to a number of shops to get estimates for pricing and availability to get an Autosolutions short shift kit installed on my 2011 M3. I came across Elite Performance via forums and they came well recommended. I called in to get a quote for the job and they quoted on the lower end compared to most of the other shops. I took my vehicle to Elite Performance to get the work done and they finished everything in a timely manner. I even asked them for labor pricing to swap out a few lighting pieces that were giving me trouble. They were kind enough to replace those for me with no additional cost on top of the shifter installation. The team here did a great job providing quality work with straight forward, honest pricing. read more

Known to be s2000 experts, made an appointment and had them order the parts. Scheduled for the clutch job and got the car done in timely manner. Reasonable price, only area of improvement would be communication. But everything went well. read more

Melody's a rockstar for alignments. locked in settings on my s2000 that are annoying to get with stock adjusters. came here for an alignment with my POS asking for aggressive settings on stock unknown-condition 20 year old arms. after the first alignment, i didn't like the settings and they fixed it free of charge. read more

Elite is actually the only place where I take my car for maintenance and they always do a great job! The staff is so friendly and especially Gary who answers all questions you may have! Bonus points - they have an adorable dog as well as pretty cool merchandise you can buy. I'd highly recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for a place to get your car maintenance! read more

Very poor service and rude staff. Messed up my car and did not even bothered to apologize.

Gary and Leo and the crew at Elite are incredible. They do wonderful work, provide excellent customer service and do it all at a fair price.

If you care for your car, go to Elite Performance! read more

Elite Performance - In for an alignment - Auto Repair Near Me - Burlingame, California

Melody was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. I came to Elite Performance to get my brakes replaced. They were able to take my car that day, gave me a realistic plan of when it would be done, and gave me a fair quote. As they were working on my car, there were some unexpected issues that they found, and Melody texted me and explained what they found, sent photos, and sent me an itemized billing sheet. All prices they have were very fair and the communication was excellent.They were truly life savers and will definitely be recommending to others read more

Gary installed sway bars and springs for me in my 2015 Focus ST and did the alignment... helped me track down a weird noise... replaced my down pipe hanger and gave me a track tip or two... price was VERY reasonable and he got me in and out FAST Two thumbs up! read more

I came to Elite Performance after an terrible alignment experience at another shop that left my specs all over the place and damaged my wheel. Scheduled for an alignment, got there early and described the status of my car to Melody, who was very helpful and friendly. The service and communication was prompt and precise. The car feels super smooth on the turns and drives straight. I am extremely satisfied and will definitely come back for more quality work. read more

Gary and the team are awesome!! I've been taken my cars to them for a couple of years. They are super honest and won't try and rip you off. They take really good care of my GTR. They know what they are doing and always give the best service and advice. read more

I brought my car in with a squeeky steering issue. I agreed to have the 60k check up done as well. ~$700 later, I got my car back. The steering still squeeked and there was no indication that anything else had been done. ~50 miles of driving later I smelled burning rubber and the power steering went out completely. When I got home I found that they'd installed a cheap, aftermarket power-steering belt INCORRECTLY!!! When I told them the problem had not be resolved, they said the mechanic was out of the country. When I asked for a refund, they went silent. I'd never, ever trust these guys with my car again - they are ABSOLUTE CROOKS!!! read more

They have the best track alignment in NorCal. Owner and staffs are super acknowledgeable on performance cars. They been working on GTR since the R35 first became available in the US. I have been bringing my r35 here for maintenance and upgrade for since first day of ownership. Labor rate is a lot cheaper than other performance shops in the bay. Highly recommended to visit elite before you have other so-called "tuner" to work on your car. read more

Gary performed alignment on my 2015 WRX STI. He performed the job well and quickly. Although, I did have to return the same week I came in since the steering was off-centered. But he adjusted it and resolved the issue. I drove away satisfied with his service. My STI drove very well having the alignment done prior. I will not hesitate to return for my future alignment needs. Keep up the great work Elite Performance! read more

Glad I found this place. I noticed my rear brakes need work, so I took my car to this shop for the first time. Their work was great and I didn't even have an appointment and they were still able to help me replace the rear brakes and drums. Good service and the price is just right! They don't over charged me like Jiffy Lube quoted me. I save hundred just because of them. Excellent and high quality of service. Recommended it! I will add this shop on my list. Gary is the great guy helping me out. So, I will go back to him in the future. read more

I was really hoping that I would have a great experience here after reading all of the rave reviews. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I brought my 20" tires in for mounting and balancing. The shop charged me $125 for mounting an balancing. I was fine with the pricing, but noticed that the car had a slight vibration while driving home. During the next two weeks the vibration turned into shaking. I went back to Elite Performance and asked Gary if he could look at the tires. He said the weights on the front came off. he said that I must have used a pressure washer to wash the car and it dislodged the weights. I actually did not have time to wash the car during that period and I rarely use my pressure washer unless I am detailing the car. He said to bring the car in the following week to have the tire balanced. I brought the car in to have it re-balanced and after the work was completed he charged me an additional $60. So the total for balancing the wheels and tires came out to $185. Most tire shops would not charge again if the weights fell off a few weeks later. I brought my Lexus GX into Costco a few days later to purchase new tires. They only charged me one penny for mounting and balancing and they also had a $75 discount for purchasing four new tires. I only ended up spending $750 out the door including mounting and balancing. The cost of mounting and balancing a tire at Elite was almost $100 more than Agundis Tires charged to mount The P-Zeros on my 19" HRE wheels. Go figure. I doubt, that I will be returning to Elite Performance for any of my future needs. I was really hoping that the shop would have worked out for me. A little extra customer service and I would have found a place to service my M3. read more

Elite Performance exceeded my expectations. I'm new to modifying and tracking cars and Elite Performance was great! They are trust worthy and very knowledgeable. They are super busy but will work with you to find a good time to work on your car. For me it was important to find someone who understood aerodynamics and Elite Performance did an amazing job. I am very happy with the work and the pricing too. I recommend them for any track prep or performance modifications. I had the Spoon Rigid Collars and the Verus: Dive-planes/ rear diffuser done, plus an alignment. The car feels amazing! read more

I've been meaning to check out this place for a while now, based on recommendations and reviews. Came in recently for an alignment and they really go above and beyond to get your car sorted. When my car was getting aligned they asked about my driving style and set it up to match. They also noticed my brake fluid was low so they topped that off at the same time, and also fixed an issue with my brakes being a bit spongy. You can tell they know what they're doing and that your car is in good hands. I'll be coming back for more work soon. read more

I've been tracking my cars for 5 years and have stayed loyal to a shop 15 mins from home at the east bay. I decided to try Gary, another track junkie, since they specialize in Hondas and I just got a Civic Type-R. I do my own research so have a good idea of the effort involved on any modification I choose to do. After seeing my first invoice, all I can say is, it's been a while since I wasn't totally shocked nor felt nickel and dimed. So I just took my Type-R back for additional mods. I was so pleasantly surprised when Gary lent me a car to get home. I'm sure he did it knowing how logistically tough it was for me to be his customer. It took me 2 hours to Bart and Uber home the first time. Again, it's also been a while since I've experienced this kind of thoughtfulness. Gary definitely knows that running a business isn't always about the bottom line. read more

Gary always gets me in and out on time. Motul change and gapped plugs is the usual service but today Dropping the SQ5 off at the real pros to get leveled and aligned. Had given WW 4 chances to get the alignment correct and each time it came back different, I gave up. I highly recommend this place, they are knowledgeable, honest, and don't waste your time. read more

Melody was very knowledgeable and helpful! It's everything you want for an auto shop. Timely and honest. Will definitely be coming back here for anything I have done to my car! read more

This is my new shop of choice for everything my car needs. Ridiculously good service and top quality work on my car. They treat me like a friend/family member. Great value for your money here. Attention to detail. I have had a ton of work done on my brz already: - Dyno and road tuning (Their experienced tuner is very easy to communicate with and treats your car as if it was his own). - Header and exhaust install/welding. - Flex Fuel System install and wiring. - Track setup advice. They hang out with me and help me and my car improve when I see them at the track (which is pretty often). read more

Awesome fast tire change. Bought my tires from tirerack and had them shipped directly to Elite Performance for mounting.

There's no shortage of Professional and Knowledgeable staff at Elite Performance. I was recommended here by my peers--other owners of Subaru BRZ's and Scion FR-S's. I had just finished a drive in my BRZ through the backroads of the Peninsula and decided to stop by and ask about exhausts since I've been contemplating about installing one for a while. John was the best advisor when it came to talking about exhausts and before I knew it, I was purchasing a Greddy Evolution GT exhaust. I asked them when I'd be able to get it installed and they offered to install it on the spot even though it was 30 minutes before the business hours closed. All of them stayed to help out with the install and I was out of there with a new exhaust. Their workmanship was fantastic--it definitely wasn't their first barbeque especially on the FR-S/BRZ platform. They knew exactly how to remove and install the old/new exhaust and they even checked to make sure that the exhaust tips were lined up! I will definitely be referring more of the peers to Elite Performance because of their professionalism and expertise! read more

I was recommended to Elite Performance by two Lexus owners. I was pleasantly surprised by the awesome customer service and great work done by them. I ended up bringing my car in to have worked on two other times. All three experiences were wonderful. Gary and his staff are the best! Professional, courteous, helpful, and friendly. Hard-working and detail-oriented, they were always honest and upfront about everything being done to my car. I didn't ever feel uncomfortable leaving my car with them. They also follow CV19 guidelines. I even saw them sanitizing the interior of the cars before bringing them into the shop. Prices are fair and they get the job done. I'm surprised how late they stay to finish up jobs. I'm impressed by their work ethic. Melody is the only other person I met and she was just awesome. She explained things to me when coming to pick up my car and was always so pleasant to talk to. I'm sooooo happy the way my car came out. If you need work done, I'd highly suggest going to Elite Performance! read more

5 stars isn't enough for the team at Elite. I am usually doing things at the last minute to prep for track days. They work with me as if part of my team to help make sure the car is ready. Once I had an issue where I needed a ride to nearby auto parts store - they let me borrow their M3 w/o any hesitation!! I can keep going... read more
