Jesse is amazing! He takes care of all my vehicles. Very professional and reasonable pricing

Expert mechanics work on your vehicle at this location. Great service. Helpful and not trying to make you spend on unnecessary repairs. Honest owner and I recommend this shop. I have had several issues fixed at this location and I will co to use to return. read more

This place used to be good...but the mechanics changed and a simple oil-change almost ruined my car. New mechanics seemed inexperienced - used really cheap filter, didn't put cap back on properly, and for some reason the coolant cover was loosened, causing a huge mess. Prices and management are good, but the people that handle under the hood were loose with their work. read more

The quality behind the service overall is top notch. Everything is done neatly and in a timely manner, I have a lot of respect for the team here. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place... A mechanic made a mistake and follow up on it was not good. Horrible!! read more

Our car needed an oil change and a smog check, but our usual mechanic was unavailable due to medical reasons. My husband and I decided to give Performance Auto a try--and we're so glad we did! Jessie answered our call and was incredibly friendly and professional. He told us to bring the car in the next morning, and everything went smoothly from there. He was honest, helpful, and got the work done quickly and efficiently. We were so impressed that we're bringing our car back this week to get the brakes done. Looks like we've found our new go-to mechanic! Highly recommend! read more

hi guys i recomend the automechanic shop all staff is friendly and reasonable prices.!

I went to this auto shop when my car dashboard lit up and I had no idea what to do so i took it here. I was a little hesitant at first cause I know as a woman, men can scam us but Jesse was the absolute best. He really explained everything well and helped me understand what was happening to my car. I have been taking my car ever since and trust no one else to do my car except for Jesse. Him and his team go above and beyond to help me with all my car needs & he's extremely kind as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to everyone! read more

If I could give this place a lower rating, I would...complete waste of time. Charged for a diagnostic and never diagnosed one thing. Just gave me the run around about this, that and the other - which I know wasn't true. Loose wires here and there but couldn't show me where. Told me wires were not connected and that they connected them for me. Complete lie, the wire(s) he was referring to have always been connected and never been disconnected as he claimed. Lie after lie... Kept passing the puck to the technician. Never brought the technician out to explain what he clearly couldn't. Save your time and money by taking your business elsewhere. read more

Was visiting the Claremont area and needed to get oil change, tire rotation and overall inspection done before we drove the kiddo's car back to the bay area. Jas was great. Did the required work, showed me the additional work required, and was clear on what was optional. Overall, very capable, reliable and fair priced. read more

Amazing and fast service. Quality work that I can always trust. I bring all my vehicles here for service from transmission issue to oil changes and also ABS system checks. Everything has always went well. #1 shop in my book read more

Great work Jesse, finally found an honest and professional mechanic that I can trust. Highly recommend to friends and family.

After 3 visits and over$900 in unauthorized billing, my car is running fat worse. Their parts prices are really high. When confronted all they can say is they are busy. read more

I have taken my car here multiple times and they claimed to fix it when they did not. They also ran up hugh bills without any authorization from me. (That is illegal) their communication is very bad and I was promised update calls that never happened. Now I am stuck with multiple codes that my car did not have before they worked on it. Save yourself some grief and take your car somewhere else. read more

Performance has always done a fantastic job taking car of my car and does not over charge. I took my car there anytime it needed fixing, FAITHFULLY. As a college student, this was a place I trusted to always fix what needed to be done with great service and not take advantage of me. Definitely would recommend especially for parents sending their kids to a school nearby to trust a place with their cars. :) read more

Really pleased with service I received . Everyone was friendly and efficient . They were honest with what needed to be done and I didn't feel like I was over charge into getting service done. Very please it's really hard to find knowledgeable and honest mechanic i am so glad that I found this place read more

My truck didn't pass smog check for several items. Perf Auto zeroed in on the exhaust problem and resolved the issue with minimal cost and quick service. Love these guys and they're great to work with. read more

Not a very good mechanic At All. Only Good With Simple Small Jobs. Passes Jobs Around From Mechanic To Mechanic And That's No Good.

My low tire pressure light came on, and my tires looked okay. However, I knew something was wrong. I called Performance Auto Center, and Jesse said to bring my vehicle in and he would check it out. He tested the sensors, tire pressure, and even took my vehicle for a test drive. He educated me about tires and sensors. I appreciated his educational approach, and he was friendly and seemed concerned about my safety on the road. All in all, it was a good experience. Thanks again. read more

Good & fast service, everyone is friendly & attentive. They get straight to the point on what is needed & honesty is key for them. I do definitely recommend to others. read more

I'm usually skeptical when taking my vehicle to a shop that I've never been to before. I usually like to have small conversations with the mechanics to get a feel for how they deal with customers. Coming from a similar industry and dealing with technicians/mechanics on a daily basis, it has become much easier to recognize if they are genuine or not. I felt comfortable with their diagnosis of my vehicle and the work that they did was outstanding. All I expect from mechanics is to be straight forward, honest, and knowledgeable about their work, and that's is exactly what they are. Jesse and Jas was nothing but pleasant and trustworthy. Ladies, if you have issues with your vehicle, and do not know who to trust, let me save you some time and recommend that you give these guys a call. read more

Excellent customer service from the owner and the mechanics. I had been battling with my car for a long time, going to different mechanics and they couldn't find an electrical fault that caused the car to turn itself off, after not using it for a while I decided to take it to a workshop for the last time and I found performance auto center Due to a publication on the internet, I began to investigate and found that it had a very good rating, I decided to take my car to them and in 3 days it was ready, they solved the problem and did a general maintenance, I have been using it for a month and it has no problem. Excellent service, highly recommended read more

Just moved here and needed an oil change and my check engine light went on on my perpetually problematic Mini Cooper. The owner is very nice and straight forward. I felt like I could really trust him as he told me things about my car that other mechanics never mentioned and instead they always suggested costly repairs. I had a coupon from their website for an oil change but my car requires synthetic oil. He honored the coupon anyway. Having to take your car into the shop is like having to go to the dentist. You generally anticipate pain lol but I was very happy with my experience with Performance auto center that was not only painless but pleasant. read more

Very kind and honest. I highly recommend coming here for smog checks etc. The seating area is clean and water is provided. It is clear that Jas cares about his clients. He also has a customer system which keeps track of services provided for your car! You can keep track of what was done and when so if you have to have emergency auto work done at another place you can pull it up and show them. You also get emails for specials which is always nice!!! I highly recommend stopping by for your auto needs! read more

Jesse and Jas were simply awesome. They took their time with the AC electrical issues my 2001 Suburban was having and returned it to me with ice cold AC. I will definitely be back. It's difficult finding a good and honest mechanic. Performance Auto Center is that shop. read more

Jas hooked me up! I had an appointment and the neighboring shop. That shop failed to do anything to my car after 3.5 hours. I left and simply tried next door, Performance. I was out with my oil change within 40 minutes, which was great since I already wasted so much time at the other shop. I plan on returning here for more oil changes and any work on my car. read more

We bought a used car that we thought was in decent shape...wrong! Got it home and a few days later it had leaked all over the driveway and we noticed that when it rode it tried to pull in the direction that we WEREN"T going in. Took it to Jas on a recommendation. Long story short, best decision of my life. Jas and his mechanic diagnosed my leaks and got them fixed at a reasonable rate, then they turned around and did the same for my steering and suspension. I would have easily paid 3500-4000 USD for that work somewhere else. I won't say how much I paid, but it was much lower than what I just listed. If you're in mess, try Jas. He's the best, fair and honest, can't ask for much more than that. read more

Worked on my classic Corvair and hooked up the carburetors I took my car to a couple other shops in area and they wouldnt even touch it Car has more power now then its ever had.Very honest and very reasonable on price read more

PEACE OF MIND! That is exactly what you find when you go to Performance Auto Center. The friendly owner is trustworthy, the mechanic is very skilled and the price is reasonable. Next time your car fails you, don't sweat it, just go there and Jes and his crew will make you forget you even had a problem in the first place... Peace of Mind, I am telling you! read more

Jas and Javier are the best. Was actually going to go to Jiffy Lube which wanted to charge over $60 for a oil change?! I made a great choice by checking on Yelp which on here I found a $35 for $50 deal which thought sounded like a super deal, but comes out that the oil change is cheaper than $35 for my little fiat! Saved $5 and a few cents but like they say every penny counts thanks so much Jas! Thank you for being honest and not to mention for that conversation. You can count on a new customer (and my mom) haha. Peace and love -Kat read more

Performance Auto Center - This is Jas! :D - Auto Repair Near Me - La Verne, California

Jas and his team are very knowledgable in every aspect relating to auto repair. He has been servicing the La Verne area for over 27+ years! My overall experience at his shop with my car was beyond any other dealer or auto repair shop I have been to. He is funny and charming and will not try to rip you off! He gives you the honest truth with what your car needs. As for some customers who have written negative reviews about not being able to bring your own parts; you wouldn't bring your own meat/veggies to a restaurant for them to prepare for you. This causes issues of liability because these "parts" some people may bring in are not reliable. Jas always makes sure your car gets the top notch quality treatment it deserves. read more

We are very happy with the quality of service and care received at Performance Auto Center. Thank you for getting the Prius back to us so quickly and being so easy to work with all around. read more

I really don't find myself saying this a lot about auto repair places, but... words cannot describe the love I have for this place! About two weeks ago, ~on a dark and stormy night,~ I drove to the grocery store to pick up a late dinner, which is approximately... oh, a mile away from my house. Upon getting back into my car, ready to drive home, my engine made some whirring noises but stubbornly refused to turn on. This problem turned into a three-hour-long middle-of-the-night ordeal that involved me getting my car towed to Performance Auto Center because it was the closest auto repair place and seemed to get good reviews. The guy who towed my car just sort of left my car in the middle of their lot, blocking a bunch of other cars, assured me it would be fine, and brought me home. I immediately called them first thing the next morning (it was a Saturday, so they had shorter hours than normal, too-- keep in mind) to let them know that that was my car, and if they were going to be able to work on it, I would have to walk down to drop off my keys (~30 minute walk). The guy who answered the phone said sure, don't worry, just get them here as soon as you can. Dropped off the keys to the owner, and then Javier let me know that I could leave it with them for now while they checked it out and would call me with a quote for the repairs. I walked off, got some breakfast, and maybe a half hour to forty five minutes later, they called me, let me know the charges (which were AMAZINGLY cheap compared to what I expected), and made sure to ASK if I wanted it done. Of course! By the time their end of the day rolled around (about 2:00 or 2:30), they called me, said my car was ready. I stopped down at the garage, and they said that they fixed one of my broken sensors inside the car that had been a nuisance for me for a while. At first, I thought, "Uh oh, another charge?" Nope! He quickly gave me the invoice with the price listed that I'd have to pay, and it was still the base (super cheap!!) rate that they gave me over the phone. I drove my car off the lot super happy-- it was working just fine! Fast forward to last night. Yet again, in the middle of the night, another car problem happened (my car is old, so this sort of comes with the territory)-- but this time it seemed a lot more minor. I had a problem with my door ajar sensor, and I was afraid it would drain the battery. This morning I brought it in, the owner greeted me, cracked a joke about the makeshift "repair" that I did to turn the sensor off during the night, took a look at the problem and worked on it for a few minutes. "Okay! It's ready," he told me, walking off with his tool box. "The door sensor was working fine, it was just the door itself that seemed to have a dent in it. But it's fixed now." "Thank you!" I said. Expecting him to lead me inside where I could pay, I sort of awkwardly stood there watching him talk to Javier. "So," I interrupted, "should I pay inside?" "Oh, no," both he and Javier said. "It's ready. It's good to go." I stared in silence, still a little confused. "No charge," Javier chuckled. "Really?!" The two of them laughed and nodded, and sent me on my way. I had to try really hard to resist my urge to give them both a giant, bear hug. I, just... I hope I've conveyed my feelings for this place appropriately. Car troubles are some of the most distressing things to me, and this place has provided amazing, quick service to me, both times that I have gone to them now! I'm very happy that I happened to find them by chance the night my engine decided to be lazy. I'm planning on always coming back here if I have any car troubles! read more

I don't ever leave reviews, but this place is such a solid find that I have to! We have been taking various cars here for years now, over a decade, and always receive the most kind and honest service. They work hard to keep the pricing down and are incredibly knowledgeable. I feel lucky to have found a mechanic shop I can trust. We still take our cars here, even though we now live in Long Beach. It is worth the drive!! read more

After this store finished a mechanical inspection and smog check for me, I decided to buy a used car from a seller.Because the boss told me this car is in good condition. But now I have found evidence that some parts of my car has been hit before. I am really disappointed about their service. I trusted them and paid money for checking this car condition. The boss did not tell me anything about its history. The evidence can be easily found by other auto store. I still remember that the boss asked the seller which result he want,pass or not. Now I think it is not a joke. Honestly speaking, at first I want to Anderson's store, the neighbour of this store, but I failed to recognize that the seller took me to this store. read more

I came here for an oil service for my truck and Jas and his staff treated me both professionally and honestly. I was pleased with the service and was happy to bring my vehicle back for more needed maintenance. read more

Why doesn't this place have more reviews? This is a great place to take your car! I've just had a great experience and want to share to the world how wonderful they were in taking care of my car. I've been to so many mechanics, many who have tried to cheat me because I'm a woman. Some others were just too expensive. This is somewhere where it's reasonable and respectful. I had just gone to another place for a standard oil change and tried to get me to replace my radiator because "it was cracked and leaking." They also tried to have me spend $500 on my rear shocks. I already knew my rear shocks needed to be replaced but my radiator? I took it to Performance Auto for a second opinion and estimate on my shocks. They checked the radiator, and it was fine. But my shocks and struts were in danger of going out. They gave me an estimate at something I can afford with an option of just replacing the rear or both front & rear. I cannot afford to do it all but definitely did the rear since they were worse. Next day, my car was done and it drives so much better! It was like Indiana Jones Ride bad before and now it's a dramatic change! I will definitely be coming back to replace my front struts! read more

it's hard to find a good, honest, well-priced, friendly mechanic; in the bay area we had an awesome shop that took great care of our cars and they did a wonderful job on education, so we were bummed when we moved back down to LA and were forced to find a new mechanic. when i needed service on my car, the first thing that my first-generation traditional chinese dad did was cut out ads for deals on service; as i hunted them down online for reviews and on the BBB i found out they were awful and was growing discouraged until i saw the BBB reviews of performance auto center: http://www.la.bbb.org/Business-Report/Performance-Auto-Center-13010683 even better, they were close by and easily accessible, so i stopped by with my dad and met the owner, Jas. back when i took my car there, i was still a uc berkeley grad student and his son was just applying to colleges. we gossiped about colleges (go bears!) and he was so personable and helpful that i couldn't resist feeling immediately comfortable. as he was taking care of my car i enjoyed reading the articles about jas in the cal poly newspaper about him talking about caring for the cars of students and treating people fairly, flipping through is various car magazines, and chatting with him and his equally friendly mechanic, javier. fast forward and years later, my dad religiously takes all of his cars here as do my husband and me. my dad always raves about jas - jas has had his workers drive my dad back home instead of waiting in the shop, fixed my tire for free where another service shop was going to charge $50 just to look at it, and, most importantly, he always does a very thorough and fair job inspecting and caring for our cars and his prices are very reasonable and competitive (i just got my 150K service that included oil change, spark plugs, transmission on my 1997 honda civic for $184). i also like that they always call to update you on the status and cost breakdown, answers every question that i have (i'm a big fan of education), and in the rare cases that they don't know the answer to my questions, will research the answer and promptly call me back. they're open 8am-5pm on the weekdays and i believe open half a day on saturdays; there's a slightly sketchy-looking after hours drop box (it's basically a black hole in the wall) but it works and they call in the morning when they get your keys. yay for jas and javier! read more

Brought my old Nissan Maxima to this location and was greeted by a wonderful human being. I'm not very knowledgeable about cars and the prices of services but I left with a well running car that I'm proud to drive again. Communication with the service technicians and owner is very easy and responsive. They worked with me on the overall price and were honest about how much time everything required to fix. I will without hesitation recommend this business to all my friends and family in the area who are in need of auto repair. Thank you for your excellent work and great conversations. -JQ read more

My family has been using this auto center for the last 20+ years. Even after moving away, my dad drove almost 1000 miles to have some specialty work done on his Mercedes by Jas. That's should tell you how much we value his work! read more
