Got my 2002 Trans Am dyno tuned by Nick at Cordes Performance. Nick did a fantastic job with the car and explained everything he was doing along the way. The car is running excellent after the tune! read more

I just had Joe/Cordes build my Blackwing with their Stage 3 package, and all I can say is wow!! It went from 586rwhp to 767rwhp and it absolutely rips. Almost scary fast, but drives like stock with normal driving. I actually think it drives better and smoother than when it was stock. I am super impressed with Cordes and will definitely be a return customer. Great job guys read more

I went to Cordes to have a programming issue with my '13 GS Vette and no hot starting. Joe, Bryan and Nick all looked and evaluated the tune. They found a cylinder missing every other sequence, poor fuel delivery and advised me to change my injectors so they got me the best.(ID) I had it dyno tuned which I was just hoping for reliability and efficiency since the build was good, the prior tuner... not so much. Well these guy did their job so well the car now once again scares me. Any day you can mash the throttle at 100 mph and the tires brake loose while pulling like a branded mule through 165 mph that's insane. Thank you Cordes for the outstanding work and surprising a sceptic aircraft mechanic. So I now have too much power (damn, a smoking blown Vette) and the reliability I was looking for. It would be a profound mistake to go to any other speed shop. read more

Thank you again Cordes Performance for taking care of the fuel pump, alternator, and assorted little things on my CTSV. Highly recommend this shop. Joe, Shae and his team are sufficient, knowledgeable and ultimately honest. They were able to fix the initial problem and also informative on other things that were needing to be done in the future to keep the car maintained. I appreciate them taking the time to do a full car inspection, having thorough communication and safety as the ultimate concern. I Highly recommend this shop. read more

I finally saved enough money to get my supercharger for my car I talked to Fu Performance Shop cordos by far seem to have the best knowledge and where the nicest and they're the only shop that didn't talk s*** about other shops what's goes a long ways cuz they don't need to add friends to say they're too expensive and all kinds of crap they are the same price as anyone else and Joe friendly guy take the time to talk to you and help to make the right decision and not just that what you want okay your money he'll tell you if it's a bad decision or not he'll do it if you still want to but he put my supercharger on I thought was a fair price I was done with supposed to be then and it's been running great every sense send some more money get some more things done 500hp it's not too bad I want a little more read more

Top end auto performance with all the latest troubleshooting equipment. Their mechanics are highly experienced and know their stuff.

I have been taking my trucks to Joe for a long time. There is nobody more equipped for the job! Excellent customer service.

Joe is quick and responsive! Professional, detailed and accurate work. The best LS racing shop in the West Coast.

I have over the last couple years read nothing but great reviews about Cordes Performance and now I know why. My Corvette was a local dealership for over 3 weeks and never was fixed properly. Within 15 minutes, Brian at Cordes narrowed down the problem. I can't say enough about Cordes Performance. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone. read more

In the past 4 years I have taken 2 C6 Corvettes and and my '15 ZL1 to Joe and his team at CPR. I have consistently had a great experience, and enjoyed working with these professionals. They know their stuff! They are passionate about their work, and run their business honestly; I highly recommend them. read more

Cordes Performance Racing - I only trust this baby to CPR - Auto Repair Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

All I can say is WOW. Picked up the 2012 CTS-V from Joe yesterday and very impressed with the stage 1 upgrades and tune. Drives so much better and feel the extra little kick in the pants. Transmission shifts much better, almost doesn't make me miss the manual. He even did it on his birthday, thanks Joe, looking forward already to stage 2 with Cordes Performance Racing. These guys are professional and know their stuff. Took great care of my car and awesome service from start to finish. Very reasonably priced for the value of a first class job. read more

Got my car back in better condition than when I dropped it off. Called to mention a few small things and they had already been taken care of. The attention to detail is unmatched. Joe and his foreman Bryan are the best in the business by a mile. read more

While waiting for my service i saw and heard someone doing drugs in the bathroom....not cool...then after my service appointment i was told i would not be able to get the parts i need there, there for they were unable to help me...wont be coming again read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Cordes Performance Racing and their team of honest professionals. Their knowledge and commitment to quality and customer service is unparalleled. About a year ago, after four trusted friends recommended them to me, I finally brought my Z06 in for some performance upgrades. I've brought my car back several times since then for more mods and couldn't be happier. I've never had any issues with any of their workmanship and the car is absolutely insanely fast now. They are fair and honest and do top notch work at competitive pricing. Thank you CPR! read more

This place is a complete scam. Joe Cordes stole my 2005 Dodge Viper after I paid him over 20,000 in upgrades the car blew up in first 100 miles. Took it back and paid another 3,000 to fix it and then the car overheated and blew up in the first 25 miles. Joe came and picked it up with his tow truck back in June 2014 telling me he will make it right and I have a year and a half of texts saying he will but has not given he car back still to this day. I have had to hire 2 attorneys paying over 5,000 in attorney fees and even though joe has promised 2 separate attorneys my car back I still don't have it. I'm so upset that someone can just steal my car and nothing is done about it. Joe should be arrested and his shop closed down. I've also filed with the BBB and he has ignored them as well. Joe is a thief and you should not take your car there . read more

Cordes Performance Racing - Even ignoring the BBB . They are scammers beware!!!!!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I brought my 2013 CTS-V to Cordes for Stage 1 mods. I had been out of "the game" for 3 years and all the faces had changed. It's a strange feeling handing the keys to a $70k car to a complete stranger who's going to modify it.....there are no guarantees there has to be confidence and trust. Guys I knew recommended Cordes and I am totally satisfied. Good communication, good price, quality work and of course......results. Thanks Joe read more

I waited over a year to drive my car all the way from Oregon to get work done through Cordes. I've brought my car to four other performance shops and no one treats me as well as Cordes, or has as much knowledge as they do. Every time I bring in my Camaro, they make great conversations, have a very clean office (AND shop), and will protect your car from the smallest surface scratch. I refuse to take my car to anyone else from now on. I completely recommend CPR to anyone wanting modifications or maintenance done. read more

If you dont believe the hype, just check out their shop. This place is clean and well kept... and surrounded by insane high horsepower camaro, corvette, and cts-v's. The staff is polite and experienced. They respond quickly on facebook. Reasonably priced. I mean really, what more do you want? I drove an hour out of my way to take my car to them. If you have a car that needs a little (or a lot) more power... these guys have a solution. Stop debating, and give them a call. read more

This shop is a complete scam. Joe has had my Dodge Viper for over a year now and I've had to hire 2 different attorneys to try and get it back. I've got text messages of joe promising me my car Joe has promised it fixed for over a year to myself as well as to my attorneys. He promised to fix the car " to make it right" but refuses to give it back he just lies to me and my attorney. This shop should be closed down and they should be thrown in jail. What a scam. read more

Cordes Performance has their knowledge and expertise in the LS platform. Sometimes customers come from out of state to have their Corvette, CTS, or Camaro to be worked on. Cordes' is well known in the Valley, and has build's that have won some awards (Street Car takeover, etc.) However, this knowledge doesn't translate to other platforms. I always get the impression that performance shops each think that their crap doesn't stink and will try to tune everything. AFR is AFR, spark advance is spark advance, but if it was that simple then anyone can take their car anywhere for the same performance gains and quality. The unfortunate reality, is that CPR simply doesn't have deep knowledge of the Coyote for the S197 or S550 platforms. When you hear things like "Cylinder #8 issue" or "550 RWHP is the most you can get out of these things" that doesn't instill confidence. Keep in mind, a 550 RWHP build from CPR on the S197 platform is roughly $11,500. This is a Magnum supercharger, intercooler, long tube headers, fuel injectors, and a methanol injection kit. Meanwhile, other performance shops like JPC, VMP, Revan Racing, Griggs Racing, Lund, et. all, will hit 650 RWHP with an average of $8500 invested. On top of that, CPR doesn't tune the Coyote; tuning is farmed out to AZ Dyno Chip, or more recently, UMS Tuning. If you are looking for a company to do half the job, poor cost/performance ratio, then I guess that's ok? I honestly do not get it. Stick to what you know; the LS platform. There is absolutely no shame in that, but don't pretend you're an expert on every car. Shoot up to Modern Performance and Tuning (formerly Fox Body Performance), Arizona Elite Motorsports, or PBK Motorsports if you are looking for knowledgable people and companies for the Coyote. Else, have your car shipped to VMP or JPC. read more

Joe and his crew do great work. Best place in the valley for your Vette or whatever else.

Joe and his crew are super helpful and friendly. I took them a B&B exhaust to be installed on my C5 Vette. During the install there were some issues with the fitment and Joe was able to work with B&B to get the situation resolved quickly. They did a great job with the install and my car came back perfect just the way it went in. read more

CPR handles all the work on my 1000hp Corvette, 300c SRT8 Daily Driver & My Pontiac G8 GT. They're a great shop with great people working for them. read more

Couldn't be happier with everyone I have interacted with at Cordes Performance. Having had both awesome (building a second gen myself) and miserable (having a different shop build a fourth gen) experiences with Camaro projects, when I bought my fifth gen I was unsure of whether I should do the work myself or trust a shop. I did a ton of research (check out Cordes's reviews on the various forums) before deciding to trust this shop with my car. At the end of the day, the selling point was my interaction with Joe. He is clearly the expert when it comes to these motors and shot me perfectly straight. It's also pretty cool that you can follow your car through the process if you follow them on Instagram. read more

Very knowledgeable and very friendly. These guys will always listen and answer all your questions. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and has pride the job is done correctly look no further. read more

You can trust CPR with your toys with everything from simple maintenance issues to custom modifications to make your car into a beast. CPR has been doing all of my modifications for my two vehicles (C5 corvette, Gen II Viper) for the past 3 years, and I couldn't have been more satisfied with their knowledge, quality of work and overall customer service. If you need to go fast, or just need soemone you can trust, CPR is the place to go. read more
