Very thankful for these guys; desperately needed an oil change after a couple months of procrastination (oops) and when I called in a panic a couple blocks away they told me to come as quick as I could and they’d squeeze me in. Everyone I’ve interacted with was very helpful.

They fixed a few things (brakes, rotors, pipes) but did a HORRIBLE JOB on fixing my oil leak. I took it back twice an it’s still an oil leak. I took my car to the dealer and they said it looks like someone tried to patch it up & quoted me $955 to fix.

Jonathan and Jeff converted my carburetor to EFI in my 1966 Buick skylark. They were extremely professional and did an awesome install. I would recommend them to family and friends.

I’ve been going to these guys for almost a decade, honestly wouldn’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have these people. Thank you again guys! Awesome work every single time & never a dull moment hanging around the shop. If anyone needs anything done like normal maintenance or if you want a supercharger installed, these are the guys.

I highly recommend going to another shop. My experience here was horrible. Literally scammed out of almost 3k. Unprofessional staff not to mention extremely rude. I literally stated detail from detail what I want done to my car. The mechanic put a lot of junk yard pieces on my car and it still is at the same state as I brought it in. Now the shop is trying to charge me an additional 3k for more work that they claim that needs to be done… just a complete ripoff.

These guys are very informative and detailed oriented. They did a great job explaining what needed fixed on my dodge ram 1600 truck, and my husbands 94 corvette. They did a great job, and had it done that day. Thanks to Jeff D and everyone at the shop!! We will be back!!

It took years until I found Jeff to put my 86 Corvette back to running conditions, now I can finish the rest without issues

Almost 6 months for cam, lifters, an a stall to be replaced i though atleast. The quality of the work they've done has been poor . Broken clamps, leaking seals, on top of everything they gave me my car back with the exhaust not even on the hangers, all 4 tires on 20 psi, an after having low oil pressure at about 12 psi a guy named jeff said it has nothing to do with them an try thicker oil . Also told me the day I picked up my car they told me they didn't put a stall in after having the car almost 6months. They said it would be to long to get the parts. Put overall the most insulting part is they post on there social media that they built a 10 second car. . Don't recommend. Don't waste your money like I did. Yea I agree for a cam, stall an lifters, 6 months later no stall.. the lifters they put in only lasted 6k miles before failing destroying the cam. they are not ls ppl nor engine builders. Any1 who would put a amf lifter with a cam that big speaks for it self .. car was tuned ... also as you can see from there instagram post there a scam telling ppl they built a 10 sec car is ridiculous. That is my vehicle an its nor reliable or a 10 second car.

Purchased a tired and ragged 94 vette 6 spd in ‘22. Full Tilt was recommended to give it a look. John was very knowledgeable about the LT1, its leaks and failure points, and walked me through what was needed to get it running soundly. Shocks, hoses, tune up, slave cylinder and more. Jeff did a great job on the transmission and oil seals, no issues since then. I’ve recommended Full Tilt to several people for a variety of repairs and customizations. Thanks guys!

I can’t say enough good things about Full Tilt Performance Shop! From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to take care of my vehicle and make sure everything was done right. They are professional, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what they do. The attention to detail is unmatched. They don’t cut corners and make sure every job is done with precision. Communication was excellent the whole way through, and I always felt confident my car was in the best hands. If you’re serious about performance, reliability, and working with people who genuinely care, this is the shop to go to. Full Tilt Performance sets the bar high and absolutely delivers. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get the most out of their vehicle! And I'm truly sorry about the late response in review Sincerely, Ezequiel Martinez.

Beware. Do not use Full Tilt. I nearly died as a result of their negligence. They do not have adequate insurance to cover significant losses. Had them perform a LS swap for my 1992 Defender 110; while it took forever (10.5 months) a few months was not their fault. But it still took them 7 months and they really did a hack job on collector vehicle. Had them install a new GM crate 6.0L fuel injected motor with a new transmission, shocks and struts and a new rear end. On the day I picked it up and while driving home (25 miles from their shop), I smelled gas and moments later flames started shooting out of the air vents in the front hood. I thought I was dead. I was horrified. I was on 275 in downtown Tampa in rush hour. Fortunately I pulled it over, while on fire, and parked it on median off an exit ramp. Jumped out and watched my collector car roll backwards across 4 lanes of 275 while on fire. The owner was on vacation that day and didn’t bother to call me; his staff admitted responsibility (of course). The vehicle is totaled. My loss is significant but they only carry $50k in liability insurance. My insurance company and the shops both conducted a causation analysis and it was determined to be their fault during the install process. Do not use them. The work was not performed correctly nearly resulting in my death and could have caused the death or injury of others. If you love your car like I did then take it to a shop that is fully insured and capable of the work. Full Tilt is not. While I hate posting a bad review for any business, I would be remisss if someone else experienced what I have. My next complaint is with the better business bureau.
