My husband decided he wanted to buy an old Porsche (his 3rd one!) and get it fixed up. He found a thrashed 2003 Carrera and drove it over to European Performance to have it checked out before purchasing it. They looked it over, gave him an estimate on what they would/could do to make it perfect. They also told him the amount he should counter-offer with due to the work it needed. We ended up buying the car for 1k less than we were going to offer. European Performance took our newly purchased old car and made it beautiful. They're amazing!! read more

European Performance - Auto Repair Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

European Performance is tucked in behind the "Motorcar Investments" car dealership, which always has a fun collection of automotive toys waiting to be purchased. EP specializes in Porsche, BMW and Audi service (although they will happily service other makes), and I've been absolutely delighted with the work they've done for me. Their staff are clearly car enthusiasts, and the cleanliness of the shop is a testament to how seriously they take their work. They're one of the few shops that is really equipped to do "deep" work on Porsches, and those who are "in the know" know to skip the dealer altogether and deal with these guys. I'm an ex-mechanic that is anal-retentive about vehicle maintenance and wickedly fussy about choosing mechanics to spin wrenches on my cars. That said, I trust the guys at EP implicitly and never hesitate to take my cars there, and I happily recommend them to anyone with a European car that wants top-notch service in the Raleigh/Cary area. read more

I went to Euro Performance over the course of several years for maintenance on my BMW X5M. Even though I brought the car in promptly when notified by the cars service monitor, the engine failed just after routine maintenance at 90k miles. During this service, Euro Performance charged me a $450 diagnostic fee to read codes. They did not alert me to any issues. One hundred miles after service the motor developed loud clunking. I took the car to another shop where they pulled the pan and found that the cam and bearings were shot. They also showed me dozens and dozens of code errors going back months which were unaddressed. This mechanic verbatim said "this motor failure was caused by lack of maintenance". I strongly recommend avoiding Euro Performance; the shop manager took no responsibility for the multiple code issues which should have been addressed, and the failure to address these codes means I'm out a $40k motor. read more

What a bunch of jerks. I test drove a Porsche 911 on consignment. Made an offer via text. Response next day " owner declines". A month later I again text to see if car is still available. Response: "Nope. Increased price $1,000 and sold the next day." How pompous. Really establishing a customer relationship. I'll take my business elsewhere! read more

After spending months searching for just the right vehicle for me, I found the perfect BMW X5 on EP's website. Within an hour of submitting my inquiry, Ryan sent me an email with the information I was looking for. When I met Ryan, he was personable and knowledgeable, yet had a casual demeanor. He provided a thorough tutorial for me and answered all of my questions. The transaction took less than 30 minutes and was smooth as butter! I will refer friends to European Performance, and specifically to Ryan. WONDERFUL experience! read more

Great experience at European performance. I brought my Porsche in for failed power steering. The problem was quickly diagnosed, parts ordered and repaired very quickly. All the prices were fair and the car was cleaned, air in tires, in addition to the repair. Great shop from my experience, honest and extremely knowledgeable regarding euros especially Porsche. If you own a Porsche don't get robbed trying to get it fixed or serviced, take it to European performance and get a great price with great service! read more

Just moved to NC and needed to find a reliable mechanic to service my 2001 Porsche. European Performance not only did a thorough inspection and addressed the concerns I had with my battery, they also vacuumed and washed the car....which is going above and beyond what I expected. Honest and very responsive. Will continue to use them! read more

I took my 1997 Porsche Boxster here for years and always received excellent mechanical service. At one point, I had an electrical issue but couldn't isolate the source. Tolga found the one stray wire in the driver-side A-pillar that was causing a short . That level of dedication showed me that they are willing to go the extra mile to find the root cause of the issue. If you're looking for fair service to keep your Porsche in top condition, I highly recommend this shop. read more

After an exhaustive local search in the Richmond/DC area I found the vehicle I had been searching for at European Performance. I texted Ryan who was very responsive. The honesty, great price and quality vehicle all equaled a buying experience that was second to none. Although the dealer is 2 and a half hours from me they will be my first look when searching for a vehicle. If they are smart they will all they can to keep Ryan happy because he was a large part of my decision. Great job Ryan and European Performance. Oh, and it didn't hurt being able to grab a great Southern Breakfast at a place Ryan recommended while in town. read more

I have been a European Performance customer since 2009. They've maintained 4 of our family's vehicles and continue to do so. I don't trust anyone else as much as I trust EP to care for our 1985 Porsche 911, 2009 Mercedes R320 CDI, 1996 E36 318i BMW, 2007 328i XDr BMW and...yes...even the 2010 Prius on one occasion. OK make that 5. :-) I should also add that I'm a car enthusiast, and enjoy high performance driving as a hobby, including racing and instructing/coaching novice students in the hobby. I'm very picky. I've relied on European Performance for technical inspections, track preparation, race builds, safety and performance upgrades. Always done at a fair price, on time, and high quality. How have they, over a decade, built a strong customer relationship based on trust? Here's how: on the rare occasion when things weren't as expected, they stepped up and made it right. European Performance has been consistently thorough, prompt, responsive, and honest. They go the extra mile, and deliver more than they promise. Kudos to Jimmy, Tolga, Ryan and the whole team at EP. Thanks EP! read more

Had them check out my Porsche Cayenne for two different issues. Once was the transmission which almost felt as though it was slipping. They took it for a test run and diagnostic but nothing was found. They were honest on that point. Next, they changed out my battery for a fair price....its a lot of work since the battery sits under the driver's seat. Round three, the 72k maintenance....I'll let you know how that goes... read more

I bought a used van from here and before even 24 hours of driving the Check Engine light came on, VSC and Trac Off lights also came on. I was told by one place it was a Catalytic Convertor. Fast forward to just 11 days later now the Airbag light comes on and the battery light blinks while the A/C is on and A/C goes crazy with the fan control. I am not happy with this at all. I realize cars being sold As-Is and all that but they LIED and said the only malfunction on the van was the driver door. We even had to pay for two new tires on this thing just to get it home. Seriously this place needs a class on having some class. Why did you LIE like this?!? Driving it before we bought it would have not even have uncovered all these issues. Stay Away!!! read more

Our 2010 BMW is in beautiful condition because European Performance has taken good care of her. They are very accommodating in making appts and are very reliable and honest. Highly recommend! read more

I bought a 5 series BMW from European Performance. They promised a couple things and came through without a hitch. Honest and clearly intend for me to be a happy customer. They even provided me a loaner while they worked on the car. Worked mainly with Dave but Ryan is very helpful as well. I will continue buying from them. I'm in! read more

We have been coming to European Performance for many years. They are very honest and professional with diagnosing and repairing cars. My daughter had an oil leak and took her VW Tiguan to Mr. Tire on Davis Drive in Cary. They told her the turbo needed to be replaced $1,980 along with airline filter, spark plugs and wiper blades. Total cost quoted was $2,469.92! We took her car to European Performance since their quote was much less to replace the failed turbo. When the mechanics looked at the car-it didn't need to have to have turbo replaced. Total cost to repair the oil leak was $616.20! We will never go back to Mr Tire. read more

Terrific establishment. Very professional and up-front about what they have determined is best for your vehicle. You never feel pressure and the rates are EXTREMELY fair. They have a great lobby if you have to wait. Highly recommended. read more

Joy ride customers cars, so if you cherish your car, don't risk going here. I got my car back from them with new Range 1 and Range 2 over-rev ignitions after an DME readout. Completely inappropriate and unethical to take customers cars past red-line. I got a 'sorry that shouldn't happen', as a response. read more
