    Engine work
    Freddie D.

    Volkan helped future proof my 997.1 turbo with new pipes, fittings, and elbows for my coolant system. He also pinned my cam shaft sleeves which are know to go bad. My clutch disc and pressure plate were also replaced. New water pump, plugs, and coils were also installed. The car is running great and is now protected from all known common failure points for this generation 911. He allowed me to check in and review his work and progress the whole time and I was very satisfied with his workmanship. The Porsche expertise was apparent.

    Volkan is very professional and respectable mechanic with over 20 years of experience in Porsche cars. I brought my Acura NSX here because no one was able to work on this and he took a shot at it. Not only did he do a great job, he kept me updated throughout the whole process. I will recommend anyone with sports or exotic cars to go here for any repair/installation.

    Inside the garage

    3A Garage on Randolph Avenue Costa Mesa is outstanding! Their expertise in European cars is top-notch, and they provide excellent customer service. Highly recommend them for anyone needing reliable and skilled mechanics.

    Whenever we have a problem with our cars, Volkan is always there to help with the repairs. He specializes in Porsches, works quickly, and uses only the best parts. I trust his work completely.

    I can't express how grateful I am for Performance Auto Repair in Costa Mesa. Even though I live all…read morethe way in Chino, something about their reviews made me feel like I could trust them -- and I was right. When my SUV overheated and the engine failed, I was overwhelmed. But the moment I spoke with them, it felt like a weight lifted. They understood exactly what was happening before they even saw the car. Instead of pushing a costly $6,000 engine replacement, Byron found a way to rebuild the engine through a machine shop, saving me thousands. That kind of honesty is rare. The repairs took time, but they never rushed. They kept us updated, checked every detail, and refused to release the vehicle until they were absolutely sure there were no leaks, no issues, no surprises. After dealing with another shop that returned our Honda Pilot with oil leaks, this level of care meant everything. What stood out most was their integrity. Their kindness. Their commitment to doing the right thing even when it takes longer or costs them more effort. If we lived closer to Costa Mesa, we'd bring every one of our vehicles here without hesitation. There truly aren't enough words to describe how thankful I am for Byron and his team. They didn't just fix my SUV -- they restored my trust in what an honest auto shop can be.

Their prices are the most fair in the area, but the quality, the skill, the knowledge that were provided was TOP NOTCH. Very honest and knows alot about cars. They deserve your business and referrals. I called them and they were able to squeeze us in after I told him we had an urgent case and needed their help. He found more issues that other shops probably wouldnt have caught. Auto scientists with MAD SKILLS. Arnold educated and guided me and we were able to make the best and right decision on the vehicle. Thanks man!

If you need a pre-purchase inspection or any auto repair, whether it be european, american, japanese made, etc, and EVs, take your car here and don't think twice. We reached out to Arnold for a pre-purchase inspection. While six other places quoted us $250-$350 for a "comprehensive" inspection, we paid Arnold $100, which was a STEAL for what he did, even more than what the others promised. He spent at least two hours thoroughly checking the vehicle, test driving it and walking us through every detail so we truly understood its condition. We were looking at buying an Audi Q4 e-tron that had a damage report. A reputable dealership told us it was "minor" and offered to take it to the mechanic for our peace of mind. After browsing Yelp and reading the amazing reviews, we decided to come here instead and I'm so glad we did. I had already done my due diligence and familiarized myself with the vehicle and potential issues. I asked Arnold very specific, technical questions that I already knew the answers to. He answered every single one with clarity and confidence and everything I was expecting to hear. My husband stayed the entire time, and Arnold patiently explained everything while inspecting the car. You can tell he was that kid that made the auto shop his playground growing up. He's passionate, meticulous, and GENUINELY cares. What impressed me most is that Arnold will never pressure you. He won't tell you "don't buy it," but he will clearly explain what could go wrong and what it might cost to fix. When I pressed him for his honest opinion, he said he personally wouldn't buy it at the listed price but if we negotiated it lower, then it might be worth considering. That level of honesty is RARE. They are your small local auto shop but I would choose them over any flashy, grandiose service center any day. Their integrity and transparency make them stand out. Thank you so much, Arnold and your dad, for the amazing service. We ended up just buying a Tesla!
