Performance Auto Center

Great service! Friendly and honest. These guys really show pride in their work. I’ve been taking my vehicles there for over three years.

I have been using them for years. Always takes care of me.
I have just done an oil change my last two times, and he has gotten me in right way.
Always friendly and honest.
Would recommend to anyone.

Performance Auto is a great place to take your cars. The owner is very honest an gets the work done in a very reasonable time. He doesn’t tell you that you need to make certain purchases when you really don’t. I highly recommend coming here.

I’ve been a customer of Performance Auto for more than ten years. My father-​in-​law introduced me to Jas and Javier and we are both grateful for the service they have provided in that time. If you want to do business with people you can respect and where they take pride in the service and knowledge they provide, goto Performance.

They are very friendly and do great work! Have been going there every since I recommend this place !

Took my car here for A/​C repair. Good and really fast service. Friendly staff and really reasonable pricing. The A/​C works flow less since the repair.

About 5 years ago I borrowed my parents truck to do errands. That day, as luck would have it, the truck broke down. I don’t really recall what happened, I just know I was near Performance and asked them to help me out in a pinch. Without an appointment, they got the truck in and out that day at minimal cost. They were very honest and reliable and I never forgot their service. A couple of years later, I took at job nearby and since I commute 150m a day, I immediately took my car to them for service. Jas and Javier are the two most honest and kind men I know. I once had a couple of issues with my car that would cost about $ 1500. Knowing I am always stretched for money, Javier broke down what was needed and in importance of the needs. I clearly remember him telling me that one would cost about $ 500, another over $ 700, and the other around $ 270. I asked him which was most important to take care of first: the job that cost $ 270. Where else can you find such integrity? Two years later I still commute about 150m a day. My car runs better now than it did when I first took the job two years ago. Why? Because Performance takes pride in their work… and it is more than appreciated!

Great service with reasonable cost. My car didn’t start in the morning called AAA they said I need a new fuel pump got the car towed to Performance Auto, Jas the owner quoted me $ 299 for the full fuel sender and pump unit. Two hours later had my car running like a top. no more hard starts in the morning. Thanks

Fantastic service and I really couldn’t be happier. I was having some trouble installing a replacement fog light housing, since my original had recently shattered. Dropped into Performance Auto Center (without an appointment), and even though they were busy, they immediately were able to help me out. The put my car on the lift, took a look at it, and were easily able to replace the shattered housing in just a couple minutes.
I asked them how much I owed them, and they simply shrugged and essentially said «ehh, don’t worry about it.» This blew my mind, since I had called around and other places had quoted me over $ 50 just help install the new housing. Anyways, long story short, these guys were great and they’ll certainly have my future business.

I started using Performance Auto after going to other repair shops and getting prices I couldn’t afford. Price isn’t everything if your repair is done cheaply or not at all. I’ve used another service for my oil changes, and they have given me quotes for work that wasn’t needed. They said it was my head gasket. I went to Jas and he showed me my air intake had a hole melted into it. That saved me hundreds and they wouldn’t have fixed my truck. Now all of my friends use Performance too because they have had the same experiences. Finding a good mechanic you can trust is rare, you stay with them because who in So. Cal. doesn’t own at least one car?

Great service. Great PEOPLE who answer your questions and who are fair in pricing. I feel confident and safe with them servicing all our family vehicles. This is my new mechanic!!!

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.

I’ve been going to Performance Auto Center for the past 2 years for oil changes. With every visit I have experienced excellent consumer service. The guys here certainly care about their customers. I once came at the last minute to receive an oil change before going out of town. Even though I didn’t have an appointment, they took care of my car; despite how busy they were. Not only is their customer service great but so are their prices. Their oil changes are cheaper than all of the auto centers in the area.

The indicator signals were not working on my husband’s Ford Explorer. We were able to get our vehicle in right away to get the repairs done. They were able to make the repairs quickly, the price was affordable, and the service was great! I will definitely come back for future service when needed.

We have been going to performance auto for 22. Years .
Jas is honest and takes pride in his work. He is fair in his prices
I highly recommend this shop

If you’re in the la Verne, Claremont, Pomona area and you need car assistance, come here to Jas and Javier. Looking at other negative reviews, people complain about not being able to bring their own parts or not being able to use aftermarket parts. Simple explanation is that Jas will never settle for cheaper or aftermarket parts because there is no guarantee that it will work just as well as the OEM or what the car originally came with. So yes if you want cheaper brake pads for example from like autozone he won’t put those on cuz they aren’t the best for your car. He and Javier will give you what’s best for your car no questions asked.
I went in today for a routine oil change and I also told Jas and Javier that my brakes were squeaking and was shaking a little. Javier took it for a test drive and has explained to me the possibilities why my car could be squeaking. In the end he only charged for the oil change and nothing for the brake checks and such. Simple. Don’t go anywhere else. And yes if you get butt hurt about people being frank with what you need to fix your car then put on your big boy/​girl pants on.
I’ll be back next month for my shocks to be replaced. Peace

Jas and Javier are the best around! My family and I have been bringing our cars/​trucks here for over 15 years and have never wanted to go anywhere else. They do excellent work and are very personable when it comes to customer service. They work hard and are always busy getting stuff done on time. Jas always gives a fair price for parts and labor and Javier works his ass off to make sure your car is done up the right way! Performance Auto All The Way!!!
Bring your car troubles here!!!

You cannot bring in your own parts to have them fix your car and so far with what I’ve been researching they have been the most expensive.
Not that happy that they can’t work with my situation. I don’t think that I’ll ever be going here.

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!

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!
