I have brought them 2 vehicles for engine work. A 1973 F-100 and a 1986 SS Monte Carlo. Both times they have done great work. I currently have the SS Monte Carlo in the shop getting a motor swapped and expect to get the same great work/service. I will add another review after I get the Monte Carlo back. Looking forward to it!

Took an engine block in and had it completely worked over. Just to have no specs on the block. Everything looking decent, but not overly thrilled, I decided to give the shop another chance and took some control arms in to have new bushing pressed in. when I got the control arms back the bushings were in but the arms were bent and they proceeded to tell me that they were like that before they received them. I wouldn't take a bolt there to be threaded nor would I refer anyone that wants machine work done correctly and honestly.

Brought my Ranger here for a fuel pump and A/F gauge. These items were installed for a fair price, at the lower end of my estimate. I was recommended by a friend at work and I would recommend Tom's performance to anyone who wants a fair price, and quality work. I will be taking my rigs back here.

Needed to get a cylinder head temperature sensor replaced. The initial price was around $800 but after they replaced with it was less than $500 because they didn't need to remove what they thought they need to and saved labor but it was the fact of that honesty and being completely genuine about the work they did. I would for sure go back again once my Ford has problems again because you know it will.

The crew at Tom’s are great! I needed a last-minute bearing race pressed onto a set of motorcycle triple clamps and they took it in and turned it around in less than 24 hours. Huge kudos for that.

I took my 2017 Corvette Grand Sport to Tom's to have an aftermarket oil cooler kit installed (I run sports car club track days and have seen 300 degrees). The kit came with no instructions other than some pictures. They had to remove the front bumper cap (= entire body work forward of the hood and fenders) to install it. They also replaced the dual mode exhaust valves and actuators (which involved partially removing the rear bumper cap). Everything was done competently in less than 2 days. Further, technician Jason took time to discuss several things with me afterwards and provide some additional advice. Not cheap (although competence minimizes cost) and always booked up weeks out, but I'm new to the area, and feel I've found a new shop!

I started at the chev dealership and their solution to my issue was to replace the motor. I was referred to Toms by a co worker, so I explained what was going on and had them diagnose my issue. Turns out I did not need a new motor, but the heads needed to be rebuilt which was a fraction of the cost of a new motor. Toms was very professional and very well priced. I am so glad I found Toms as they will now be my go to for all vehicle repairs!! I recommend them without hesitation. My only regret is not finding them sooner.

Been to Tom's and the name says it all. High grades for everything they have done on my cars. The staff is so friendly yet very attentive to what needs to be done. I have complete trust in the evaluations they give and all recommendations for repair. Our vehicles will not be touched by any other mechanics.

I dont trust anyone else to build my race catrs motors. In my opinion nobody is building better performance engines then Toms Performance And Machine. Preparing for my next build with Toms Performance cant wait. My last build helped me pick up my first win at willamette speedway

Doing a great job of rebuilding the motor for our 1975 Dart. The shop is neat and clean, and the lady in the office is great about getting everything coordinated. More to follow ......

I have a 1949 Diamond T Pick Up 1 Ton with a ford Windsor 351 V8 and 4 speed top loader with a Dana Rear end modified to allow the Diamond T wheel to mount to the hubs. I have been having a hard time driving at low RPM and I took my truck into Tom's Performance for a Power Tune, Carburetor re-build as needed. Jason got right to the heart of the problem from condensers, to the Carb rebuild , new plugs etc. The truck runs like a new truck now with smooth power through all the gears. I almost forgot what it is like to drive a vehicle as it was intended to. Jason inspected, tested, repair and tuned the truck to perfection. What a pleasure to drive in town, traffic and out on the road. This is the second project I have trusted Tom's to take care of and they are batting 100 %

After being referred to tom and having him build a sbc for me he made sure to ask all the questions so I had A motor that would do what I wanted it to do not just a high horsepower engine. He made sure everything worked together, from what cam to use with the intake and carb to exhaust size and length. After that he then built the engine to perform the way I wanted. I'm glad I listened I got exactly what I wanted. If I would have went my route it would have been terrible. Listen to Tom and his suggestions, he is the king of performance.... thanks

This shop is first rate. Tom did some extensive machine work on my Audi S4's block to get it ready for some big power. All the work was excellent and fairly priced. The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable... I had a lot of questions for them since this was my first major build and they were more than patient.

I cannot express into words how great the team is here! We’ve brought in two of our vehicles in for work to this establishment and they have just blown us out of the water! The staff is super kind and are very reasonably priced for the A++++++ work! Will keep taking our vehicles here for the rest of their lives!

I took my 99 Cobra Mustang, witch was having some engine problems (possible blown head gasket) to Tom's Performance. I wanted a place that could do all the work in house and not have to have it be shipped out. I decided to have the motor completely rebuilt. A friend had told me Tom's was the place to go, and I was not disappointed. I met with Alexis in the office and went over all of my options. She was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions, as well as giving helpful advice. While the work was being done, Tom, Jason and Alexis kept in touch to keep me updated on their progress. They had my car ready in the projected time frame and it was even a couple $'s less. END RESULT (see picture) it runs better than it looks. I definitely recommend Tom's Performance for your repair needs, big or small. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Tom, Jason and Alexis Michael Fissel

Customer service is less then what one would expect from a performance shop. Also after doing some research toms performance is not BBB accredited. Consumers beware!

I had an engine built and installed by this shop. The engine has fewer than approximately 500 miles since installation. After that limited use, the engine experienced a complete internal failure and seized. The vehicle was parked inside a garage during the time it was not in use. Upon inspection, coolant was observed inside the cylinder, indicating an internal failure. I contacted the shop on multiple occasions seeking clarification and warranty support. As of the date of this review, I have received no response. This review is posted to document the facts and the lack of communication. Still not a single response as of February 4
