Kushan and his amazing team did a great job on my C4. Brought it back to life :-). Highly recommend this shop. read more

This place is the truth! Note: they are now in Oceanside at a much bigger facility. I brought my C5 Z06 to Kushan and Zach on a Friday morning prior to a business trip. I needed to have the odds and ends done as well as a tune. Kushan sat me down and walked me through the process, while being open, honest, and transparent. We settled on the work to be done with some great recommendations from him and kicked it off. Throughout the process I never worried one bit. Kushan gave me a call with an issue they were having and we worked through it quickly. When I came back on Friday, my car was already done! With the tune and additional work that excelsior performed, it's an entirely different car, and is a real pleasure to drive. I will not bring my vette to a different shop for performance work. Start to finish was over a 100hp difference - and you can feel it! P.s: if you're into racing, Kushan is your man! He can talk you through setups, or even get you into the world of racing. Just a great, great experience here read more

It is so refreshing to work with a mechanic you can trust fully. My C8 Stingray was damaged at a Chevrolet dealership and Kushan and his team helped diagnose and document what the dealership did to my Corvette. I am very detailed on the appearance of my car and this business treats the customer's car like their own. I can't say enough about this outstanding business. I am done with low end mechanics employed by dealerships and all of my future services will be performed at Excelsior Motorsports. Thank you Kushan for you and your team's help and showing me around your awesome business. read more

I've trusted Kushan and the team at Excelsior Motorsports with both my 2002 and 2015 Corvettes, and they've consistently gone above and beyond. Most recently, Kushan helped me source and install a gorgeous set of forged satin black wheels and new tires for my C7--and the results speak for themselves (see photos)! Kushan is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to Corvettes, and he's backed by a team that not only knows these cars--they race them. That kind of hands-on experience makes a huge difference. Every visit has been professional, honest, and focused on making sure my cars are treated with the care they deserve. If you're looking for Corvette specialists who live and breathe performance, Excelsior Motorsports is the place to go. read more

I originally reached out to Kushan with just a general idea of what I wanted to do, and he delivered beyond my expectations.

I haven't found any Corvette shop that has the expertise and integrity as Excelsior Motorsports. Kushan and his crew are top notch, perform quality work and do it all for a reasonable price. Kushan solved my dreaded "Service Column Lock" problem on my C6 - something that no one else has tackled. He takes the time to discuss any problems with the car and answer any questions you have. It has taken me a long time to find a shop that not only specializes in Corvettes, but truly has in-depth working knowledge of the cars and also has a strong network of associated that can diagnose & repair the on-board computer problems. If you are looking for someone that has a passion for Corvettes, and the team to tackle any problem you have - Excelsior Motorsports is the place for you. read more

Great service, they fixed my Z06 problems I had from another builder I trusted. Lots of issues Kushan pointed out. The work is not cheap but you get what you pay for when it comes to performance work. read more

Kushan and Zach have done a great job with major upgrades under hood from a supercharger and E85 with many additional performance mods and now a fantastic looking new front end and rear wing on my 2017 GS. Even the wife likes it! read more

I traveled an hour to bring my car here based on reviews I read on corvette forums. Definitely worth the time! Kushan is extremely knowledgeable and will point you in the right direction. Had him install a supercharger and a few other things on my car then tune it. Car runs perfectly, just like a stock car except with alot more power now. If you are within a reasonable distance and need work done I would go here. read more

Excelsior Motorsports - My C6! - Auto Repair Near Me - Oceanside, California

I had Excelsior Motorsports recently diagnose a few issues related to my 2004 Corvette. The owner Kushan and his team did a great job diagnosing rather than just throwing parts at the problem (which many shops unfortunately do). Additionally, Kushan gave a honest, thorough assessment of their status which I appreciated. And all the work was done for a fair price, unlike other shops. Excelsior Motorsports is the real deal and up until now I had a hard time finding a good, honest Corvette or performance shop (btw, these guys work on most GM vehicles - doesn't have to be a Corvette), but from now on this is the only place I will take my Corvette. This is also the only Corvette (and GM performance) shop I can recommend to others at this time. A warning though: since they are swamped with a lot of customer cars (either for tuning or making track worthy or just repairs and general maintenance) - a good shop is always busy - it could take some time before they will work on your car. So, if you need something done to your vehicle just plan in advance, especially if it's a daily driver. Don't procrastinate, just get a date on the calendar to drop off your car and be patient. read more

A+ Kushan is a hard worker and straightforward. He also respects the time of his clients, which is a plus. He came in early to accommodate my schedule and that was more than required to earn my business. Kushan went out of his way to dyno my car, which isn't a car he normally does and I am appreciative of that as well. Thanks... read more

I needed a tune for my 2004 Silverado after some minor upgrades. Kushan not only tuned my truck but found and fixed an air leak that had been haunting my truck for who knows how long. His team are professionals and fully diagnosed and dialed in the truck. For the first time since I've owned it, it's running like brand new. On top Kushan gave me updates along the way so I knew where my money was going and well spent. Tremendous value and nothing but respect for this shop, I can't recommend them enough for all your GM needs!! read more

Had these guys work on my C7 corvette after 7 long weeks of waiting for my car parts. Despite the delay on the deliver they were great at adding me to their busy schedules. To top it off i had an emergency at work and needed to leave sooner than anticipated. These guys did a great work and managed to get me out early so i can make my meeting. Great professional! read more

I took my stock ZL1 1LE to Excelsior Motorsports where I met with Kushan to explore my options. My goal to was to get some additional horse power but I didn't want to do anything that would harm the motor. Kushan walked me through step by step on what should be done and why. I picked up my car on a Wednesday, drove it over 5 hours on Friday. I raced it all weekend and drove back over 5 hours. The point being is the that my car makes a ton of power safely. We spend a lot of money getting our cars so we want someone cares about them as much as we do. Kushan and his team will take care of your car like it's their own. I wouldn't let anyone else under my hood. read more

Kushan is an expert with corvettes. Unfortunately, had an issue with my harmonic balancer. The dealer wanted to charge more and do repairs that weren't necessary. Got the car towed to Excelsior and they booked me in as an emergency. He noted some other maintenance that needed to be done on my car such as rotors, pads, and fluids. I got it all done at once. Even went ahead and dialed my 2007 z51 corvette in with his stage 1 package. The car is now responsive & hits on all levels of the power curve. He made the car better than stock. He's a pro. If you have a corvette, I couldn't recommend Kushan more. Thanks! read more

Awesome. Had some complex issues. These guys wouldn't quit till solved. Made my C5 "more better" they'll have my business always

I 100% recommend this shop to any GM performance enthusiasts. Kushan, the owner, specializes in Vettes but has an excellent level of expertise across the board for Chevy V8 autos. Extremely professional and friendly to work with, a high level of quality and utmost attention to detail highlighted my experience with Kushan. He did great work on my 6th gen LT1 Camaro and I will definitely be going back for any more of my performance needs. Thanks for the great work Kushan, you run a tight shop. Andre read more

If you own a corvette, Kushan is your man for anything relating to corvette and performance , and levels of performance. HIs knowledge and understanding is built upon years of personal trial and error as it relates to many weekends of track events near and far using his own cars as test platforms , to KNOW what works and what DOES NOT work on the corvette platform. If corvettes are your passion you will serve yourself well AND your car! See you at the track ! Jim S. read more

Super happy with the work and tune on my 2019 corvette. Its running better than ever. He turned off the AFM. I would highly recommend this shop especially if own a corvette or Gm vehicle. I won't let anybody else touch my car. read more

I'm very impressed by the knowledge and ability of Kushan at Excelsior. If you have any sort of LS motor, bring it to him and he will work miracles by getting great power out of it without the need for major surgery. I have a Z06 Corvette which is pretty much stock. Kushan has a number of packages available for the enthusiast, for example Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 etc - so something there no mater what you budget. I went with a Stage 1 upgrade and it has transformed how my car gets power to the wheels - feels like I have a new motor! Best of all, Kushan is very nice to deal with. He is not the typical shop owner who might try to upsell everything. Instead he listens to what you want, makes suggestions and then tailors the tuning to your needs (and budget). So if you have a GM motor and want to go somewhere where you will be treated with respect, excellent customer service and great knowledge, go to Excelsior. read more

Kushan really knows Corvettes! I recently added a Halltech air intake and LG Motorsports long tube headers. Kushan dialed in the PCM to make max power and the car is fast & loud, with no codes! read more

Kushan is the best tuner for Camaro and Corvettes. I have a 2017 Camaro Procharged P1X that was tuned by Cunningham Motorsports. Come to find out Ryne Cunningham had no idea how to tune these direct injection LT1 or LT4 Engines. My car was fouling plugs and misfiring. Kushan not only made my tune great, he also added another 55whp and 60 foot pounds torque to the freaking wheels!! Kushan is amazing and can't reccommend him enough!!! read more

What a polite, knowledgeable, and detailed professional. Kushan met us with a handshake and seemed to enjoy the tuning as much as we did. Took all the necessary time to get the tuning right, and made some serious improvements in efficiency and power. For those wanting to get track ready....he's absolutely your man. Absolute wealth of knowledge! read more

This guy went above and beyond to tune my truck, and was able to tune it to an increase of 50whp!!! He really took his time and did not rush it or tune it in a way that would compromise reliability. He took the time to explain every step of what he was doing. I really recommend this shop! I was thoroughly impressed by how friendly and customer oriented they were. You can tell they're very passionate about what they do. Five stars all the way!!! I will return! read more

Very diligent and knowledgeable, I brought my heads cam corvette z06 for a dyno tune. Kushan was able to get an extra 40 hp out of my set up and spent another 2 hours trying to ensure great streetability and starting. He was also very personable and answered all of my questions regarding road racing and gave some great advice on future mods to my setup. Incredibly pleased with the entire experience and was very affordable. read more

Excelsior Motorsports - Results of tuning - Auto Repair Near Me - Oceanside, California

Kushan is a very nice and knowledgable guy who loves what he does and does what he love. There was something wrong with my vette ever since i bought it and was looking around for many shops. After many recommendations i went in and had kushan install his stage one package along with a tune. My car was very sick, it first ran 278 rwhp and after tweaking an working on it he got it up to 345 and i know thats a pretty big gap. I will definitely be going there again very soon. read more

Excelsior Motorsports - Auto Repair Near Me - Oceanside, California

Awesome experience at Excelsior, from the shop supervisor Zach to the owner Kushan. Kushan dealt with me personally answering many questions, giving me a great piece of mind leaving my vehicle with him. His team flawlessly installed an Akrapovic exhaust system on my 2015 Z06/Z07. The car only has 3700mi and I stressed the care I expected to keep it scratch free. On team drop off, hit installation completion time right on the dot. The team nailed it! I will definitely be back again! Also, Excelsior is military friendly. read more

Kushan did a number of mods to my Corvette to remedy the Z06 heat management issues. His work was top notch and he delivered the car on time. Managed a day on the track with zero overheats so he know's what he's about! Most highly recommended - he's my go to guy for Corvette mods from now on. Mike M. read more

My C5 Z06 was tuned by another socal tuner slightly north of Kushan's Shop and the car never worked to my satisfaction. I took the Z back to his shop 3 times and I gave up. Kushan was able to do a density dyno and found out there was a problem with my traction control. Once I took the Z out of his shop I felt the improvements immediately. I would not take my Z to anyone else. He has always been upfront with me and I call that great customer service. read more

If you're looking to get a dyno tune for your Chevrolet spots car, this is the place to go. I had my 2011 Camaro SS tuned by Kushan after installing a new aftermarket exhaust and cold air intake, & I'm very satisfied with the results. The car is running smooth & stronger now. Besides the service itself, I also had a great customer experience & will be going back if needed. Kushan, the owner, is a professional tuner & is a friendly man. He took the time to explain the entire process & answered all of my questions before the tune. Prior to finding this shop, I contacted a couple other shops & they all wanted me to leave my car there for most of the day & pay $800+ for the service. I could tell they just wanted the money. Kushan is a Corvette enthusiast, but he can tune any Chevrolet sports car the proper way. His work speaks for itself. read more

Excelsior Motorsports, I used this so called shop 5 years ago with minimal success. Kushan tuned my corvette with a supercharger and full bolt ons with pride. The years after we became so called friends. I decided to build a stroker motor through his shop. This was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my history of purchasing mods for my corvette. This was a fully forged motor build to pushing well over 800 rear wheel horse power. Kushan also tuned this setup with no success. This car kept throwing reduce power codes and what not I left the car with for months with him not working on it. He pushes friends to the side so he could bring in more unfinished business in. I even helped him out by turning wrenches for him on the weekends for little or no money, no he never paid me so I just left it alone. Well the motor blew up with less than 3000 miles on it due to lack of knowledge of building high horsepower cars. I believed in this shop I went to court for this owner brought him ALOT of business with nothing in return. The moral of this story is Excelsior can tune and install intake and header on cars which that is more than most shops can do in San Diego and trust me I've used them. Now I wouldn't be surprise if he is out of business somewhere selling cars on a corner lot? read more

I'm not one of those haters who got mad at Kurshan and had a disagrement with him or anything but buyer beware ! This guy is super shady ! I can not begin to tell you what happened but in a niut shell , he charges you top dollar for equipment that he did not put into your car. Yes my car is pushing out way mor HP and yes it performs a lot better but this guy says one thing on his invoice and that piece of equipment is not in the car . I'm embarrassed ! I took my car into another place today and kinda bragged about what was done to the car and about the engine work that had been done .....wow was I wrong . Buyer beware . I've spent over 20k with him and should have the best in the business in my car but no . Again I cannot stress be careful with this guy. read more

I called this business for a performance tune on my C6 Corvette. Talked to Kushan, and he was extremely informative (I felt he was mature and have more experiences then the new tuners). So we set up a date and time. When I showed up he went out to greet me. I was impress. We went over on what he would do. He showed me his Dyno and the software, and explained to me in depth it was a Mainline made in Australia, and that this equipment is more precise and correct then the others. Also was recently calibrated (I verified that). On a note, I had a different car, I did a comparison so I use 2 different shop for their Dyno Spec, and one gave out 40 more hp? When the car was on the Dyno he would stop and show me the difference and what he was going to do to make it better. I noticed the large fan would come on automatically at a preset temperature, others would just plug in a fan and let it run continuously. We made many runs and each time he made sure my car engine was not strain by making numerous stops. This I felt he took good care not to overheat the engine. After couple of hours and more, he completed work. Before: 800-3800 rpm too lean, and power curve dropped at 4900 rpm. Now: 500-6100 rpm a straight upward linear line. My impression as I drove my car, first I was able to burn rubbers consistently. Definitely more HP. Should get better gas mileage. Prompt and timely work. About his shop, he has one apprenticeship assistant working for him. He is very meticulous. I observed him wiping the floor. The floor has these rubber checker mats real nice. The shop is very organized. Tools in the tool box. A clean shop. specialize on Corvette and some GM vehicles. Only about 5 cars at a time, suggest he works on cars immediately. Prices for Dyno $450. A word about the other well know Corvette shop north of San Diego are new and young men (worry about their experiences, organization, business sense), garage has full of unfinished cars on the top rack and bottom, tools and parts laying all over the place. Appointment hard to make, no oral communication. emails or vague told by from numerous customers late work, too many cars. Excuses, therefore cheaper $ you get what you pay for. read more

I had Kushan check out a car I was looking to buy. He did a fantastic job going above and beyond what I expected to thoroughly assess the car and tell me everything about it. You can tell instantly when you go to his shop that he knows his stuff. If you are looking for an expert who shows the utmost attention to detail in his work then you've found him! read more

8 Month Update After 20 track days, my car is running as fast, cool and smoothly as the first day it arrived back to me! It still sounds and performs like a bad ass! Frankly, I am still growing as a driver to reach it's full potential. Kushan's upgrades have allowed me to shave 14 seconds off my previous best lap times. More importantly, it NEVER overheats!!! Unlike before, it would overheat in 40 degree weather after 2 hard laps. My car is a convertible...just think would he could do with your coupe If you want your car done right the first time, Kushan is the person to talk to! Thank you Kushan for building a one-of-a-kind corvette! read more

Kushan is a no non-sense, straight forward, passionate owner that truly cares about his work and his clients. His dedication in taking the time to do the job right sets the bar for what a shop is supposed to follow. I had such a good first impression walking into Excelsior Motorsports and meeting Kushan that I truly have found my shop, and a shop that I can recommend to my fellow gear-heads without hesitation. I can't thank you enough and my future business will only be going through Excelsior Motorsports. read more
