I chose Performance because of the 5 star Google reviews and boy did they perform. The services were efficient and the mechanics were super helpful. Service was excellent and I felt the trust and caring from the feel of a small family business.

Byron has always been super courteous and honest when taking care of my fiancé and I’s cars. Him and his team get the job done quickly, right the first time and at a good price.

I had an amazing experience with Byron's shop! My car's check engine light had come on, and then it started to run rough. Turns out that my car had radiator coolant leaking into the engine, and Byron was the one who found the issue. Byron helped us make the right decision in regards to getting the engine replaced since it was under warranty, and he was honest and helpful the whole way. I would definitely go back here again!!!

Everyone needs to know a solid, honest auto repair shop, and this one's mine. Byron has been very fair doing several repairs on my Ford Transit Connect. As a retiree and part-time Uber driver, I wholeheartedly put my trust in Byron's Performance Auto Repair Shop to keep my ride running strong. 😎👍

Byron provides great customer service, best prices, and an overall job well done. We needed a 30,000 mile routine service on my KIA SUV and he charged significantly less than the dealership but still delivered quality service with efficiency, completing the service 2 hours earlier than anticipated. Highly recommend, you won't get ripped off here!!!!!

I found this shop while looking for someone to take a look at my squeaky brakes. I sent an inquiry to a few business in the area and got a quick response from Byron - literally within minutes. I talked to Byron on the phone beforehand and he was very flexible with his schedule. When I got there, I got nothing but good vibes. Byron is a really personable guy and an honest business owner. He looked at my car and told me that some performance cars make a little more noise and that I didn't need to get my brake system serviced yet. My rotors looked great and the pads had plenty of life left. He could have taken advantage of the situation, but he told me to come back in a few months. Since I was there and the brake noise was annoying, I decided to upgrade to ceramic brakes anyway. Byron gave me a quick quote and turnaround time - making sure he texted me with updates as I waited at the Moongoat coffee shop down the street (great recommendation btw). His prices were very competitive. I'd definitely come back to service my vehicle here and highly recommend this business to anyone in the area looking for various maintenance needs, repairs, etc. Bonus: there was a vendor that happened to stop by and sell mangoes, esquites, elotes, drinks, and all kinds of other good snacks. idk if he comes by regularly, but maybe you'll be lucky and catch him there too. =P

I had the best experience I’ve ever had with a mechanic with Byron here. He is extremely understanding and helped walk me through the issues that were going on with my vehicle. He worked with me extensively until the problem was fully resolved. I will continue to take any future vehicle to this shop and would recommend his business to anybody.

The most honest mechanic shop in OC. If you’re looking for a decent mechanic shop look no further and call Byron! I needed some repairs done urgently on my vehicle; I got a few other quotes from other mechanic shops. When I contacted Byron he knew exactly what the problem was and how to fix it. He gave me a price/quote that was very reasonable and way less than other quotes. He put me on schedule for the next day and got my car fixed within a couple hours. I am very pleased with the service and how honest and professional Byron is. I’m very impressed and will be back without hesitation if in need of more repairs. Thank you again, Byron.

I can’t recommend Performance Auto Service & Repair enough! Byron, the owner, has treated us like family since day one. His commitment to customer service is truly above and beyond, and he’s always gone out of his way to make sure our vehicle is taken care of. Whether it’s a minor issue or something major, Byron and his team handle it all with professionalism and care. It’s rare to find an auto shop that combines top-notch expertise with such genuine kindness. If you want a place you can trust completely with your car, this is it!

Byron is the owner and works with his son Josh. Probably one of the most honest repair facilities I have ever known. Well known by many in the Costa Mesa area. Performance auto service and repair does not advertise. They go by word of mouth and referrals from their customers. Once you get your vehicle repaired here, I can pretty much guarantee that you'll never go anywhere else.

Byron is an amazing mechanic with the most fair prices he's fixing something on my car for $100 in Beach Auto quoted me $2,600 just an example of how fair he is. My car is a Audi A4 2013. I went in because of a check engine light. I literally stopped by and he saw me immediately and lifted my hood and knew exactly what was wrong and saved me $2,500 It's just great that I have a mechanic that I completely trust based on the way I've been treated in the past by him.

I had an excellent experience with Performance Auto Service for my recent car service. They completed a complete inspection, took care of an oil change, tune up and replaced my brakes and rotors. Everything was handled professionally and quickly. I really appreciated how thorough they were in explaining what was needed and ensuring everything was done correctly. The pricing was fair, and Byron communicated efficiently through every step of the process . My car is running smoothly, and I feel confident that I can rely on them for all my future car needs.

If you're looking for a new auto shop, Performance Auto is the only shop you should consider! Byron is the most trustworthy and transparent mechanic I've ever had the pleasure of meeting - he helped me navigate some truly outrageous repair situations in 2023 & 2024 with grace and empathy, taking great care to explain each step in the process to me with patience and kindness. The combination of excellent communication, fair pricing, and clear integrity with which Byron runs this business is rare and commendable, and I would rate my experience 10 stars out of 5 if I could!

These guys are the BEST I've ever dealt with in 45 years of dealing with mechanics! I took my BMW 650i and 850i to them. They accommodated my "out of the ordinary" requests, were patient and understanding, and worked with me on my budget. Their prices are very fair and they are very honest... they treat "you"... as "they" would want to be treated! I have become a loyal customer. I HIGHLY recommend them!!

This is an amazing small, family-owned business! Byron and Josh fixed my car so fast and for a very reasonable price. Josh was extremely friendly and helpful on the phone and very welcoming when I walked in. It’s intimidating to go to car shops as a female - but this business is very customer oriented and ready to help. Thank you so much Josh and Byron! Update: Byron and his team fixed several more things on my car including my brakes and serpentine belt. The service was very fast and reasonably priced. I’m happy to have found such a great car repair shop in the area with such an awesome owner and team!
