My Mom, son and I were driving home to Murrieta when the water pump went out on her Toyota Camry. We called Tony because they are AAA approved. He had us back on the road within two hours on a very busy Saturday afternoon. His prices were very reasonable. He didn't try to up sale us on anything. Great guy! I would very much so recommend him and drive the 40 mins to go to him again. read more

I Called in for a diagnostic quote and everywhere was charging over $150! I'm thankful that they discounted since it was my first time. My car needed more than what I expected but I left with a weight lifted off my shoulders! Definitely worth coming back to! Not only was I able to afford the labor and work that was done, the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable :) read more

My check engine light arcane on and my car started shaking very badly on a Saturday. I called several shops in the area and none were open on the weekend. Performance Auto answered and were very transparent about when to expect my car to be done and the price. They kept it overnight which was fine by me because I didn't need it until Monday. When I came to pick it up, I paid LESS than what they originally quoted me because they took off one of the charges for keeping it overnight. They also buffed out a giant paint scratch without me asking and without me paying. I will never go to a different shop. Thank you! read more

The only place my family will take our cars into. Very hard to find great service AND great customer service these days, but I'm always surprised at their kindness and welcoming atmosphere. It's been a rough couple months financially and they have seriously made this process as painless as possible. Thank you to Sam and your team for being my go-to-shop! You guys are the best read more

I went to performance auto care to get my car smogged . Tony did his best to take care of me and be sure I continue to return to performance auto care for my ongoing vehicle needs. He gave me a fair price and even guided me on the closest AAA that I could renew my registration and get my tags in person from. He cares about his customers and he does quality work. Thanks Tony! read more

Best Auto Shop around!!! Tony and all the guys here never fail to amaze me at the outstanding work they do along with great attitudes! I always am in and out when I get my car serviced.

Today, 5/14/18 I called last minute to get my car smog testing done. I figured it would be a few days until I could get an appointment. Tony fit me in within 30 min! This place is truly the best. I trust my car here with the great team and am thankful they always take care of me and my families cars. read more

First visit at performance autocare and so far I am loving it, they are honest, fast and want to ensure safety of customers. Tony was able to quote me for breaks and an axle replacement and began working right away. read more

5 Stars all around!! I took my 2014 Nissan Rouge here multiple time in the course of a few months. First my car wouldn't start, after speaking to multiple auto shops, this was the only one who could see me right away without having to wait a few days, huge relief considering I use my car every day! I had it jumped and brought it in, Tony was so kind and reassuring, he called me only an hour after dropping it off to go over the plan (new battery). I picked it up that afternoon and the cost was not overpriced! I since then needed an oil change, new brake lights, my oils checked and every time I've brought it in that day and have had exceptional service. Tony is a true professional who has wonderful customer service. I will continue going back in the future and strongly recommend! read more

This shop has great customer service and works in a quick and effective manner. Definitely a 5 star shop

Great place to get an oil change, the whole process was very fast and easy. Tony was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. I will definitely be back for my next oil change! read more

I went in to get a smog done for my car. The guy in front told me they are all booked that day and I should make an appointment, so I did. I should have called in first. I showed up @1604 for my 1600 appointment, and it was done by 1626 including all the info. taking. I had a coupon for $30, including the "Certification Fee" other places don't tell you about until you are done. Everybody who works there are courteous, called me Ma'am and Miss with smiles on their faces. I am hoping their employer is taking good care of them!! I am going back to get some work done next time to see how PAC compares to my other shops that I have been to. Excited :) read more

If you're looking for solid and honest work! This is the place you want to go ! I've been taking both my cars here for the last 5 years and my families and we love it!!!!!! Thank you so much PAC! You guys are amazing!!!!!!!! Only place I'll recommend ever!!!!!!! read more

So thankful I found Performance Auto Care to help me out when my car took a turn for the worst! I had regularly gotten my oil changed here and my tires rotated for 3 years. I always get a 5 star service that comes with trust, knowledge and a positive experience! One day driving on the freeway my Prius battery system literally shut down on me and somehow I was able to slowly make it to an off ramp safely... not knowing much about cars and being a woman can be kind of scary and you can easily get talked into paying way more than you should or told there are more issues that you didn't know about. I called the shop, AAA towed my car to performance auto care after hours but Tony assured me that my car would be safe with the keys left in the drop box and they would diagnose it first thing the next morning. Appreciate him doing this for me, as it was after hours and I had no other options. I feel confident and completely trust Tony & all the staff at performance auto care! Always can get you taken care of in a reasonably amount of time and the job is always done quickly but efficient. They earned my trust and I'd gladly send anyone their way. Thank you, Tony!!!!! read more

This place is awesome,, the service is excellent, time efficient, didnt have to wait to call my name, they are fast and very welcoming, the price is good as well.. jose gonzalez your the best :) read more

It's always a pleasant experience bringing my cars here. Tony and everyone else is always very professional and friendly, and will even take the time to explain things for me. The prices and quality of work have won me over. It's nice to find a shop where I can trust not only the work, but the people. Definitely continuing to go here, and will recommend to friends and family! read more

Performance Auto Care is a Five Star Automotive Shop. Excellent Customer Service from Tony and Luis. Thank You Tony and Performance Auto Care!

I came in without an appointment to get a smog for my car. Tony was at the front desk and was extremely helpful. Although I had brought a coupon for another guys smog shop, he was able to give me a $20 discount. He was very understanding and my car was ready within 15 minutes, without an appointment! This place is great! I would definitely comeback and recommend others to come here for a smog check. Also, the lobby room was clean with coffee available! :) read more

I had to take my car in to get a smog check and I found Performance Auto Care right down the street from me. Tony set an appointment up for me and made it super easy.

Coming here for a few times. Tony is great, I really like his personality and honesty . For sure this will be my place for maintenance on my vehicles read more

Performance Auto Care - Smog inspection - Auto Repair Near Me - Escondido, California

Since I have moved out here, I had been looking for a good mechanic and shop to take care of my car. This place has the best customer service and great prices. Greg always gets me in when I need it. It all gets done extremely well and efficient. Highly, highly recommended this place. read more

Tony and his team are the best! Great work, great attitude and just fantastic to deal with. Tony gives an honest assessment of what work they see needs to be done, but is realistic as to how urgent it is, only giving a fair judgment of upcoming work. Thank you, Performance! read more

This is the place to go for all car issues! Great customer service , Loyal guys, the business is perfect. All is very well organized and my car problems always get fixed properly read more

After moving from San Diego to Escondido, I had to go find a new auto repair shop near me and Performance Auto Care had the best reviews. My first visit there was to fix a battery light issue on dash and Tony was very professional, friendly, and honest with his estimate and assessment. I'm in the process of restoring my 04 Acura RSX and him and his team have been nothing short of excellent. My car still needs some cosmetic work but is running better than it was when it was brand new and stock and now has some upgraded components. I've probably given him a lot of business the past few weeks but I don't regret it one bit. Really glad I found this place and would totally recommend taking your car here for all your auto repair needs! read more

Tony was more than accommodating and took care of my car with speedy service. My car not only received a pressure wash but also had a beautiful wash included. Thank you so much! read more

These guys were awesome. I came in because I my skid plate was dragging - very loudly. They took my car - without an appointment - within 10 minutes from when I arrived, and fixed the problem so I could continue to my destination. I was out in 15 minutes, and they could not have been a nicer bunch of guys about it. read more

Tony took care of me from start to finish with such excellent customer service with such a lasting impression that I'm inclined to leave a great review. The shop did me a new cat converter and took the time to check it out again when I had even the slightest urge to have them just double check everything again. Confirmed with outside sources it's pretty common for your car to cough up phlem so-to-say after a good cleaning on the inside after such an operation and car is running better than before the issue in the first place. Bonus points for the shop being open an extra half Hr beyond 5pm for people that work 8-5's. Thanks gents! read more

Got my smog check done here. They were super quick! Sammy at the front was beyond helpful and kind!

Called first thing in the morning when they open and they were able to help me within 30 min. I called around asking about fixing my rear brakes and everywhere was so pricey. Luckily when I called that morning Sammy was able to help me and explained everything I needed to know. I don't know anything about cars but they made sure I was getting the best service and price range. I was able to save half the amount of money! I even got a ride home after dropping off my car. Will definitely take my car problems back to them. read more

Performance Auto Care was really helpful in diagnosing and fixing my Xterra. I highly recommend them! They prioritized helping me find a fair-priced towing recommendation, and gave me the best price around for fixing my vehicle. read more

Really glad to have found PAC. Called to get a last minute smog and they were able to get me in within an hour. The smog cost $28.25 out the door and I was in and out in 20 minutes. Tony was extremely helpful and kind and even provided upcoming repairs/maintenance I'd need in the near future. I'll be coming back for all of my vehicle's needs in the future. Thank you, Tony! read more

Upon my appointment time arrival I was immediately greeted by the front desk agent, he was extremely friendly and attentive. He got all my paperwork and checked out the information on my vehicle within 5 minutes or so. Nothing was quoted incorrectly but if anything they went above and beyond to keep it affordable. Extremely pleased with their customer service and attention to our car! A must go for any vehicle needs!!!! read more

Place is so great. Tony and the rest of the workers did such a great job to my car and took care of it with care. An actual mechanic place they don't overcharge.

Really came out of there happy and recommend this place to anyone needing work on there car........ read more
