    Yelp does not help this shop enough, I personally spoke to Ben and he is a genuine person that…read moretakes his time and values every person that comes in! I've looked for so many shops here in Elk Grove and just don't see the same in them as I do for Complete Performance!!! I found out I needed a water pump and within a few hours they were already getting the vehicle to me. That is customer appreciation at its finest knowing I needed my vehicle. Thank you Ben and the team!!

    TRIGGER WARNING (DON'T LOOK AT OLD REVIEWS. NEW ACTUAL GREAT HONEST MECHANIC HERE)…read more The registration and smog is due on my 2004 Mazda next week (i know it's old but with minivan prices today, i know what i have and don't want to give it up that easily), but with the check engine light BLINKING+ other problems I knew no way I would get smog passed. I called around a few places (some others I found on yelp with promising reviews), but they were booked until the next week, and registration being due in a few days, I decided to drive down Elk Grove Blvd a little bit more and I saw the Complete Performance sign nestled next to a gas station in Old Town Elk Grove. I parked and who would be Ben came out right away and asked me how he could help. I told him everything wrong (flashing check engine light, rough idling, jerky transmission, oil burning smell). He walked me into the office, took my info and said he's get on it RIGHT AWAY! I wasn't sold yet and was thinking about just getting his diagnosis then moving on and trying again with another mechanic, but once I gave him the keys (and getting ready to call an uber to get back home about a mile away) , he said "do you need a ride home?" That's when I was like okay, wow I'm going with this guy, he does have some hospitality and availability. Quite the rarity! He called me a few hours later and mentioned I had bad spark plugs and a bad intake boot (and one other thing I don't remember). I remember seeing his labor rate on the wall in the office and I even ended up calling around and was relieved that his rate was the market rate (California is generally just high with this). Also, He would be DONE by end of business tomorrow (a 1 day turnaround was music to my ears right now!) which means I could get this registered and passed for smog before the registration expires. After initial estimate, I was worried, not because I thought it was high (because I knew the other labor rates in the area would cost me the same for labor+parts), but because the car was so old. I wanted to give up on this car and just file for planned non operation. He stopped, listened and worked out a deal with me that would include a guaranteed smog pass after repairs were made + a warranty so I would be covered for these issues in the future. I said okay and made the deal with him. He identified another issue with my fuel injector later on and called me The irony is that I didn't even see the bad reviews on here which were from years ago by an older mechanic. There was no way that these could be about Ben, who's the new guy in town here) and sure enough, that is the exact case. Ben is unfortunately having to work against 4+ year old reviews about some other guy named Bobby and that's not fair. I'm here to set the record straight and give the 5 stars he truly deserves. Thank you for everything Ben, I now have a couple more years at least before I need to buy a new $50,000+ minivan for my family.

This truly was a family affair, and the entire team made us feel welcome from the moment we walked through the doors. Our sales consultant, Manny Brown, was absolutely top-notch! He was knowledgeable, patient, never pushy, and took the time to answer every question we had. He made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. A special thank you also goes to Chris Morri in Finance and Brennan Parsons, Sales Manager. Both were outstanding to work with--professional, respectful, transparent, and genuinely focused on making sure we were comfortable every step of the way. We never felt pressured, and they worked hard to make the deal fair and straightforward. I'll admit, I never imagined I would own a Kia. But after researching the Telluride and working with this incredible team, the decision became an easy one. Their honesty, patience, and customer-first approach made all the difference, and we drove home in a beautiful SUV that we absolutely love. If you're considering a new vehicle, I highly recommend Elk Grove Kia. Their customer service is exceptional, and the team truly cares about providing a first-class buying experience. Thank you, Manny, Chris, and Brennan, for making this such a positive and memorable experience. Five stars all the way!

No attitude, no BS, he asked for the address and said he was on his way. I had called a tow company in our town, and they picked up with just a "hello?" (no company name just hello) and then said it's too early to ask for someone to help with a lock out. The second which was dispatched by our insurance said he was 3-4hrs out so we cancelled him immediately. Mt Diablo was friendly and so fast with a very reasonable price! He had the truck unlocked in 5 minutes and my husband was able to get to his first job site of the day. It really means a lot to us who's business is also run on being responsive and showing up! Thank you so much for being there when we needed help most! Best Regards, Kristen _No Limit Concrete Pumping

Everyone was super kind, professional, and helpful during a very stressful situation. David was awesome, safe driver, courteous, great conversation, and clearly knew what he was doing. I have a Tesla Model S which sits very low to the ground, and their flatbed tow truck had a breakaway setup specifically for low profile cars so there was no risk of scraping or ripping off the bumper. That alone gave me peace of mind. They towed me from Walnut Creek to the Antioch/Brentwood border and made the whole process smooth and stress free. You can tell this is a family owned and operated towing company that truly cares about their customers. If you need towing service for a Tesla, EV, luxury car, or any low clearance vehicle in the East Bay, I highly recommend this company. Reliable, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely good people. I can't recommend them enough.
