Alex, technician who also handles the…read morefront desk appears to have limited English got me in touch with Oleksander known as Oleks (pronounced as Alex). He is also a technician and may also possibly be the owner. That was the vibe I was receiving from our discussion. I explain what my visit was and he advised me there are different types of tune ups and what specifically I was looking to have done. I explained that I was able to obtain a quote from Honda service department and they also advised same thing. I listed the tune up details and what Honda quoted ($2,260). Oleks advised that inspection is free of charge. He would have Alex, technician do the inspection and provide his recommendation. Alex completed the inspection and advised what needed to be replaced and some replacement were not needed. He discovered there was an engine oil leak, transmission oil leak and the engine oil pan plug was stripped. Oleks had provided me with a quote range between $700-$1000. I returned back two days later on the evening of 1/14/26 to drop off vehicle which was parked safely inside the shop. The following day they replaced the engine gasket, replaced spark plugs, water pump, front crank seal, drive belt, oil pan plug and drive belt tensioner. I picked up my vehicle on 1/25/26. The sum of my bill came to $1021.80. I am truly satisfied and happy with the work that technician, Alex has completed. It was a reasonable timeframe and price. Honest work. I will use them again for any issues, repairs or maintenance.

This review is overdue but I wanted to share my experience with everyone. Nate is the best and has…read moretons of experience with being ASE Blue Seal Certified. Nate was able to help me on two separate occasions with an oil change, coolant, timing belt, and anything else I needed. He was able to drive to me and was very professional while being fast and efficient. Nate is a super humble, super friendly and had no complaints with him servicing my car. I would recommend him to anyone and was able to save me so much time and stress!!!

Updating again: The business owner Nate just called me and was very polite and we both explained…read moreour sides of the situation. He was very apologetic and made sure to listen as to why I was so upset. I completely appreciated the call. He will be returning to finish my sons car and I feel confident he will get my sons car safely back on the road. Absolute trash company. My son had an appointment for Friday at 10 am. After almost an hour of waiting for "Proformance" to show up, my son finally hears back from the guy who says he can't make it, and if he can come the following day (Saturday) at 3 pm. Fine. So now it's Saturday. No call. No show. "Proformance" finally messages my son and moves the 3 pm time to 6 pm. Unprofessional. If he didn't want to do the job, he could have just said so. Thanks for wasting our weekend waiting around for nothing. UPDATE: The business owner just responded to my comment, by stating, that it was my son's idea to change the appointment date. I have my son's texts that day. My son only asked "Proformance" if they needed to change the day after THEY didn't show up for the appointment, after son had been waiting for 40 minutes PAST his appointment. Then today (Saturday) after "Proformance" said they would be out at 3 pm ( but it ended up more like 5pm) couldn't finish the job, because it was my son's fault he didn't have the bolts needed. Look, I'm just here stating my experience, as the person paying for this service. This is what I have been dealing with since Friday ( it's now Saturday evening). Oh, I didn't mention, that I have been calling "Proformance" this past week, asking how I can make payment, since my son does not live with me, and I am the one paying. I called 2 separate times, and left voicemails, with no response. This has been a complete nightmare, with no communication.. WHAT-SO-EVER.

Hands down, he's the best mechanic I've ever worked with. His prices were more than fair, too. This young man makes thirty veteran mechanics look like Goober Pyle from Mayberry.
