The engine in my 1985 Silverado shortbed had a Crack in the block and locked up. So I did my research and was able to get an amazing deal on a 383 Stroker from Blueprint Engines. I called a shop and they said it would be awhile before they would be able to install it. I received the engine in June. By the time October came around I was tired of waiting. I contacted a person in my local car community and he recommended RPM Performance. RPM Performance was able to get me in the next week. It took a few days and the engine was installed by a gentleman named Jim. Jim did an amazing job! The engine it tuned wonderfully. The power is amazing. The transmission has a 2500rpm stall converter and a shift kit. I drove the truck home and it was amazing. The next morning there was transmission fluid all over my garage floor. A couple days later she was back in the shop. I had the transmission rebuilt and it still leaked. So after the truck being in an out of shop Bob ( the owner ) put a new transmission in my truck. I changed the rear gear from a 3.08 to a 3.73. Since I had the rear end apart, I had an Eaton posi installed. Bob and RPM Performance has stood by me when I was having problems with my TH350 transmission. They are good people who stand by their work.

I’ve brought my 1968 Chevelle to RPM Performance several times over the years, and every experience has been GREAT! Bob and his team do a fantastic job every single time. Most recently they put in a new engine and transmission. They kept me updated, explain what’s going on, and there attention to detail is awesome. Honest, professional, and super easy to work with. I wouldn’t take my Car anywhere else!!!

My experience with RPM has included a couple of motor swaps, tune ups, a whole front end rebuild, brake work, exhaust, some unique suspension work, and more to come. Prior to RPM, I’ve had some truly absurd experiences with service.. So I am both thrilled and relieved to have found RPM, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision to trust them with bringing my projects to life. Without a doubt worth every single penny. Bob and Joey have consistently proven to be pleasant to work with and very knowledgeable in their craft. Their communication has been stellar, the work has been reliable, and everything was completed timely (downright speedy, really). I felt like my expectations were reasonable, at least to me, and they have more than exceeded all of them.

I am very pleased with RPM Performance. I sent my truck to them for a DOD delete on my 2015 Silverado and they did an amazing job on the engine. I initially had some issues with the transmission after a slight mistake during the engine work, but the shop owner, Bob, made sure to make it right and we reached an agreement very easily. Great people, great service, and great shop dogs.

The RPM Crew did a fantastic job installing a lift kit and bigger wheels/ tires on my 2017 Jeep Wrangler. In addition, they collaborated with Jonnette at MDI Vehicle Wraps and Graphics to take my Jeep to that next level by installing a Wrap; took the Jeep from the standard silver to a beautiful blue!!! I was very excited and pleased with the workmanship, care and outcome of the Jeep!!! These two companies go above and beyond, time and time again!!! Before and After pics…

OMG Ihave owned my 67 corvette with 502 ci engine for 13 years. It's never ran this good! Bob and Joey are in incredible. I wish I new the name of the technician that worked on my car. He went beyond what I expected. They gave me an extra 25 hp at the rear wheels.

Bob and the crew at RPM are absolutely fantastic. We have been able to purchase tires and odd and ends parts that we were able to get right away instead of waiting days or weeks and hoping we get the right part. Along with that is a top notch team of craftsman and professional with years of experience handling muscle and performance cars. They are always kind and professional and also does a lot for the car community at the shop after hours allowing folks to have a place to hangout, network and enjoy a safe place to gather. Do NOT hesitate to have RPM Performance work on your pride and joy!

Owner is kinda odd, but a good guy. That nasty person you got doing wraps in your shop though, ugh makes your buisness look bad. Dude your a performance shop not a wrap, or a detail shop. Concentrate on bringing in modern cars more. Old school cars are awesome for sure, but so many modern cars in the area looking for dependable shops to custom their cars. Just my two cents

Took my old truck in for timing and carburetor tuning. Joe was very informative and was very quick with the repairs. Will return in future for upgrades!

The best place in Indy that knows all facets of vehicles beyond stock to maintenance and modifications tailored to your creative satisfaction. They also have good connections to other great specialty shops in the area. They make the mechanics of my 08 3rd Gen Dodge Ram 1500 happen!

Amazing business to work with for all your performance needs. They have been our go to business and the only performance shop in Indy that our business trusts and recommends for high performance builds and is the shop we’ve trusted to build up our own personal vehicles.

It's been roughly a whole year and half since I took my OBS Yukon for an inspection and paid in advace for the service. Waited there for the inspection to be done. They didn't hand me the inspection paperwork that day, said they'd call. THEY NEVER CALLED. I called multiple times, they never pick up. I've shown up again and again in person after the inspection that day saying that they'd send me the inspection sheet via email. They claimed I never went there. They're too lazy even to check their own cameras. Never received an email from them ever since the 1st time they told me they would.

The team at RPM Performance always does a great job. I have been taking my 67 Camaro to RPM for years now. They have helped with a complete engine build and replaced a manual transmission to basic service. They are always a pleasure to work with. It is hard to come by a shop that you can trust these days and this team has never served me wrong. I would send anyone who asks here!

This all started with needing an engine rebuilt. They were not the cheapest but most of the time you get what you pay for. They couldn’t get the car in so I paid other shop to remove the engine and I took it to them for the rebuild. Got the motor back and it sounded like crap. A lot of motor noise. So then they got my car in to look at it. The lifters ate the cam. So they pulled it apart and fixed it. When they put the engine on the dino this happened again. It happened again a second time! They then pulled it apart agin and replaced the cam for the third time. By this now I have spent about $11,000 and I finally got my car back! 10-18-21 I done everything that they ask about the motor. Ran it to get a 300 hundred miles on it and took it back on 8-8-22 to have the valves adjusted and turned. I also talked to them at this time because it had a little tick but I was told it was just a small exhaust leak. I still have less than 1000 miles on the engine and I set up to drop it off with them to look at it because it started to tick a little louder. They said it has ate the third cam now. I ask them to help me out with this because now this is the third cam that the lifters have ate. Not sure if it is cheap parts or just not installing it correctly but they have skin in this as well! They said I could spend another 5000 to put a roller cam in it or buy a crate motor.

The people at RPM handled my 68 Buick GS 350 like it was their own. New Transmission runs great, disc brakes are awesome, they were able to save the original upholstery and refresh the cushions in the bench seat, found an issue I did not even know was there with the old rotted fuel line which saved me trouble down the road. Fully Transparent and professional. I will definitely use them for my car in the future.

Bob and his crew have been absolutely wonderful when Bob the owner saw me asking for used motor parts to be able to make trophies for the Delaware County Special Needs Olympics and Delaware county Special Needs Prom Bob didn't hesitate to have us come to his shop to go through the stuff that they had this was 4 yrs ago he allows us to come many times a yr and take what we need now he could have taken that stuff and scrapped it for some cash but no he donates whatever we can use. Ps his shop is always busy if I ever need anything done this is where I would take anything I own. So thank you Bob and crew for supporting our events that are very bear and dear to our hearts.

We cannot say enough nice things about RPM Performance! We have taken our 1970 Pontiac Trans Am and our 1970 Mustang Fastback to their shop for some upgrades and repairs. Absolutely excellent work performed on both vehicles! Bob, Chris and the staff are tops in customer service. Obviously, they have the best mechanic team in town! We highly recommend RPM Performance.

I inherited a 1968 Triumph TR 250. The car had been sitting idle for quite a while, which led to several issues. I took the car to RPM Performance and had an excellent experience. The staff were very responsive, communicative, and knowledgeable. They were also transparent as they investigated the issues and communicated to me the needs and their associated costs. I plan to return to RPM Performance whenever my Triumph needs more work, and recommend them especially to anyone with classic/vintage cars.
