Innovative Performance Auto is nothing but professional. Mike and the entire crew are polite and take the time to listen to my concerns and issues I may be having, with my vehicles. Upon diagnosis of the problem, I am always informed and advised as to what is the best and safest course of action. I recommend Innovative Performance Auto to everyone I know. I have never seen anyone leave this place of business unhappy. Thank you Innovative Auto for all your hard work and dedication! I appreciate it!

Mike and crew always take excellent care of us in timely manner with very fair pricing in the 3 years we have been customers. Never had to argue over a bill and repairs are done right the 1st time. On the rare occassion follow up work needs is needed, Ive never had to wait long for it to be done. Plus..hes very understanding about our precocious 2 year old granddaughter attempting to dismantle his waiting area🤣. Definitely can't go wrong having your car serviced here.

I have been meaning to write this review, so today is the day. This is hands down an excellent place to take your vehicle. Most people have undergone anxiety or fear of getting one pulled over on them in dealing with their car maintenance, but this was not the case here. Mike was excellent from the fast response to get back to my voicemail, the ease of drop off and pick-up, honest pricing for the brake service I required, and most importantly the courteous and friendly customer service I received. Thank you for running an honest mechanical shop...it is difficult to find that these days. I will be informing my friends about your establishment! Respectfully, Philip

Mike is amazing! My whole family takes their cars to him! He is always honest and fair and if he notices something starting to look like it will need to be fixed/repaired soon he lets you know so you can be prepared. The whole team is great and they treat you like family!

The tires on my car were bald and after issues such as bad alignments, damaged rims, etc at a local well known garage, as well as a large dealership, I decided to go somewhere new. I was referred to this shop by several co-workers. They all spoke highly of Mike and his crew and I can see why. Mike provided quotes for several different tires all at very reasonable prices. The car rides better than it ever has. Thanks Innovative!

I have been looking for a mechanic I can trust for a long time. Mike does all of our company vehicles along with the cars of several co-workers and came highly recommended. Both of our cars are getting older and need more maintenance and work. I have been extremely happy with the work performed, the price and the experience overall! I get an honest opinion every time and if something doesn't really need to be done he tells me. I never feel like I'm being sold and fully believe that he is just looking out for me and the vehicle. It is soooo great to have someone I can really trust! I will never go to a Midas or big chain tire shop again! The work, price and experience is so much better at Innovative! - Bryan

I was looking for a honest and professional car repair shop. My nephew referred me to go see Mike and his staff at innovative. When I arrived for my scheduled appointment I was welcomed with a great smile and positive energy from Mike. I was impressed by how many people were happy to come there and get their car issues resolved. I could tell from the interactions with his customers it was nothing less than trust, mutual respect and longevity. I’ve never asked anyone for a handout or a favor, I just look for the complete picture of someone to do great honest work and reliable regardless who you are & whether it’s a big or small. I could go on and on telling all the things I heard and saw for the 2 1/2 hours while I was there,but seeing is believing. I really appreciate the great work and giving me the feeling of confidence when I get into my 2016 Kia Sorento that I decided to follow up with the recommendation from my nephew and I’m extending to whoever reads this review. Again I highly recommend this place if you want professional and honest quality service for you or your family/ friends please schedule your appointment and experience what good business use to be like many years ago when a man’s word was his bond!!!

My first experience at Innovative Performance Auto was amazing! Mike was honest, kind, knowledgeable and professional. He got me in quickly for a minor repair and discovered the part was a recall for my vehicle. Said he didn’t want to charge me for something I could Have done for free at the dealership. I could not recommend them more!

Mike and his staff have been absolutely stellar since I’ve been taking my cars there (since 2017). Their prices are fair and they never try to get me to buy something that doesn’t need to be replaced.

Mike and his team are fantastic. My wife and I have been taking our cars to Innovative Performance for routine maintenance and repairs for the last couple of years and couldn't be more satisfied with every experience we've had with them. Their prices are extremely fair for the level of service, quality, and speed at which you receive your vehicle back. As a business owner myself, who takes tremendous pride in quality and customer service, I would highly recommend this business to anyone looking to get service to their vehicles done. Thanks Mike & team for all that you do for Jess and I. :-)

I always say “You can’t make a first impression, a second time around “! I needed some services done and this place and its staff and the owner made sure I was WELL taken care of, my car was safe and that I was pleased with their work. To say that they went above and beyond would be an understatement! They listened to ME and my concerns, they engage in regular conversation and I’ve never seen a more soft spoken, kindhearted, caring group of men in my life. Quality work, amazing prices and my goodness they are so kind and caring. Thank you all for all you do. I’m telling everyone to make this shop your first choice-you will NOT be disappointed!!! My heart has been in a constant state of gratitude all day.

I can't say enough good things about Mike and the crew at Innovative Performance Auto. Mike is not only a genuinely very sweet guy, he's honest, organized, professional, knows his stuff and is great at communicating. He's one of the two best mechanics I've ever had, and the stuff of gold. I leave his auto shop leaving with a weight off of my shoulders. When can you say that about any kind of service? I'm so grateful to Mike and the guys at the shop. I'll go there til my wheels fall off, and even after!

Great employees and Mike the owner is a wonderful man I broke down on a Saturday night in hospital parking garage while leaving from visiting my critically ill husband was definitely not the time to have car trouble. Of course Monday's would be hectic for him yet he took our vehicle and figured out the issue ordered parts and can was ready to go on Tuesday he made a horrible time a little better by being there in my great time of need.

Mike and his crew run the best mechanic shop I've ever been to. I was so nervous when I moved to the area and needed a new mechanic. I saw all the positive reviews about Innovative Automotive and those positive reviews are so true. Mike cares about you as a customer and is so understanding. He and his crew explain everything so well. The quality of work is top notch and trustworthy. They have literally taken me into the shop and shown me why something needs work. No BS with them and it's so refreshing. To top it all off - they are good people. If you are looking for that great mechanic to service your vehicles, Mike and his team are the best!

I recently visited Innovative Performance Auto for a set of new tires, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. As a new customer, I was impressed by how quickly Mike was able to fit me into his schedule. The pricing was fair, and the service was exceptional. Mike and his team provided efficient, high-quality work, making the entire process smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend Innovative Performance Auto for anyone in need of reliable and professional automotive services.

Mike and his crew are fantastic. We were referred to this business by a friend who had nothing but good things to say. We've been very happy with the service and their prices are reasonable. Mike is always friendly and positive, has a great sense of humor and we trust him.
