Performance Haus

Yesterday I brought a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport XLS I had recently purchased to Performance Haus. The truck had suddenly began spewing oil and transmission fluid, and I feared the worst.
Ray and his team went above and beyond even my highest expectations. The entire process from start to finish was open, honest and professional. And today the truck is running like new!
I’d recommend Performance Haus to anyone.

I began taking my VW’s to Gary in 1988, and from then on, that is the only place I took my cars. He serviced my Jetta, my BMW, my Toyota Highlander, my Toyota Camry and my VW Cabrio (which I recently re purchased from my buyer). It’s a convertible, what can I say. Since I repurchased the VW I’m heading back to Gary and Performance Haus. They are the absolute best and I would recommend his shop to everyone — no matter what you drive. He is honest and trustworthy and helped me out more times than I can mention.

Don’t go here… I’m not the first one to basically rudely get thrown out for having the wrong bus year. Listen here you kooks… Just because you can’t time a dual carb don’t make the customer feel like they are the ones with the problem. You kooks can’t time it because it’s a «hassle «makes you look like an inferior mechanic… Which you are.
If you love your VW, take it somewhere else.
These guys are rude, even to the point of insolence and immaturity.
How can I leave NO star?

What a great place to get your german car repaired. Honest, Great prices and fast service! what more do you need?

I just had my 1976 VW Bus serviced here and was very impressed. They checked the whole bus out for me and advised on a few things I kind of knew needed to be done. Was advised of a price that seemed fair and they got it done on the same day. I’d say if you have an air cooled VW this place really knows their stuff. Would totally recommend.

I’m a VW enthusiast and when I get stumped or get lazy I take all my VW to Gary. He is very knowledgable and he is always looking for solutions to help keep cost down. If you need a Vanagon, eurovan or anything air Cooled performance haus is the spot. Also their customer service is great, would give them more stars if I could.

I was looking for a new repair shop after I felt I was being taken for granted at my previous mechanic. I had been going there for over five years and was apprehensive about bringing my Volkswagen there again after I spent over $ 1500 the last time, which did not even fix my initial problem. Needless to say I wanted to try a different place because I was tired of the loud humming noise and my old mechanic telling me it «came from my new tires». Something was telling me otherwise.
I decided to visit Performance Haus Volkswagen after driving by it so many times. I called and set up an appointment two weeks in advance. When it was my appointment day, I brought my car and everything was taken care of promptly. The owner explained what needed work and finished the same day. Reasonable prices. I did not hear the humming noise and felt a positive difference in the car.
Will definitely bring my car back!

My VW sputtered home on Saturday night, I was expecting the worst. Took it into Gary Monday morning, my first experience using them. Called me shortly there after and I was surprised to find out it wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be. He quoted me a fair price and I felt very comfortable about the over all experience, unlike most repair garages.
It was fixed and ready to go by 3pm. Upon arriving he talked about some other areas that should need attention. However no pressure to get them done. I had truly a very good experience from beginning to end and would highly recommend Gary and his team to anyone needing car repairs.
I almost never give a perfect score, however they deserve it.

These guys are top-​notch professionals — knowledgeable, articulate, and honest, with reasonable rates & times required for the work. I can’t ask for anything more from a maintenance & repair shop. HIGHLY SUGGESTED

These guys are awesome. I have been bringing my VWs for years and will continue to do so. :)

I have brought my vehicle to Performance Haus twice. Gary and the guys are exceptional. My experience BOTH times is that they go «above and beyond» to make the experience pleasant. No one likes to go to the doctor or to the car doctor. But, it’s important for longevity. Never miss a check up. It sure makes the experience much less grueling when you’ve got a good one (doc/​car doc). Good ones are hard to find. Great ones are even harder. Gary and they guys are GREAT! Super personable and HONEST. I’ll be back. HIGHLY recommended.

My car happened to break down in front of this place. Went in and they gave me a good quote. Left and came back an hour later an they where finished! It was a great quality job, not to mention fast for what was needed. If I ever need anything on my car again and I’m in the area I will definitely come back here.

Did came in with my ’89 Westy with rear wheel grinding problems and Gary told me they could get to it a little later the same day. They did find out that the previous owner made some mistakes working the brakes. Gary fixed it for a reasonable price same day with no appointment under just 2 hours. Very friendly and knowledgable. Would return any time!

I came in here for a smog check after seeing that they services Honda as well as VW. I was in and out in 15 minutes, and Gary was super friendly and totally professional. Very competetive pricing for the work, as well. The shell station across the street wanted 3 – 4 hours and almost twice as much as what Performance Haus did. I’ll be coming here again for work!

My entire family has been using Gary to repair our vehicles for over 10 years. He works on all different vehicle makes. He has repaired our Chevy Suburban, Ford F150 and also our Toyota Pruis. You won’t find a better mechanic and crew. He is honest, reliable and has very reasonable prices. I highly recommend Gary and his crew.

Gary has been a fantastic mechanic to get to know. I have ’86 Westy and everyone once in a while she needs work. My last mechanic jacked up the coolant system and I almost melted down the motor. I had it towed to Gary, he got it running again and we talked about options from repair to replacing the engine. In the end, we did the repair work, he was honest repaired it on time and gave me options to choose from in terms of the repair. I’m using Gary for all my work going forward (already have!). I highly recommend him (and have to other Westy owners!).

Just took my 67 beetle for three guys at Performance Haus to work on, and I could not be more satisfied. Gary you are excellent, honest, and it was a pleasure doing business with you. most definitely will have my car serviced with you.

Gary Is great, will give options on fixed, must fix, future, can wait. He is honest and hard working, I just purchased a used VW Passat and he went over it with a fine tooth comb.
I will continue going back for all future repairs.

Today while driving in the DP area, my 59 Volvo’s brakes went out. I rolled into their shop and the first thing that comes out of the mechanics mouth is «We don’t work on Volvo’s» with his hands crossed over his chest. I asked to buy a container of DOT 3 (keep in my mind brakes were out and I explained this to him) so he sold me the container and walked away. I attempted to remove the brake fluid cap (it had leaked out of the wheel cylinder) and when I realized I did not have the correct wrench size, I went inside and asked him if I could borrow or have him remove the top. His response was «I don’t have time» with a scowl. Where is the customer service? Does the owner know how their front counter mechanics profoundly lack professionalism and courtesy? This guy let me drive away from this shop without brakes just because he didn’t have time (the place was NOT busy) to assist with a wrench? LUCKILY there was a shop down the street who provided EXCELLENT customer (Dana Point Foreign Car Service) service. They removed the top for me, filled up the container and my brakes came back. They also looked at the leaking seal and on Monday, I am bringing my car back for their service. I would never recommend this place to anyone!
