Alex is a great guy and dedicated to his craft, almost to his own detriment. Oftentimes he's willing to sacrifice himself to get the job done, with late nights and after hours wrenching, and even skipping out on important personal matters. I mean, it's a great feeling getting your car back earlier than expected, but sometimes I wish I could tell the dude to slow down. This is the kind of guy that Alex is though, putting others ahead of himself. He does great work and will go to great lengths to make sure it's done right. His estimates for services are fair, with honest and transparent pricing, and most of all you can expect no less than surgical precision and fine craftsmanship. ERA is the complete package, which leaves me no hesitation to recommend this as THE place to take your car. read more

I'm at a loss for words. I brought my big turbo barra swapped mustang to era performance. This car is my baby, and I've done a majority of the work to this car myself because honest shops are almost impossible to find. I was short on time and didn't have the time to diagnose and repair a drivetrain vibration and oil leak that the car had. Long story short, these guys had me in and out in a day. They pulled the transmission, found issues with my flywheel hardware, sourced the hardware, and reassembled everything. I got to drive the car home that same night and the car has never felt better. Alex and Ricky, the owners of the shop are top notch. Their communication, attention to detail, and skills are next to none. Thank you, Era Performance read more

I cannot recommend ERA Performance highly enough. Our family has been bringing our vehicles here since 2011, and we wouldn't trust anyone else. Over the last 15 years, they have handled everything for us--from our Toyota trucks and sedans to our Lexus, BMW, and even our Range Rover. ​The owner is incredibly honest, creative with his solutions, and truly stands by his work. It's rare to find a mechanic who guarantees their results and actually delivers on that promise. Whether it's routine maintenance or a complex repair, he is the gold standard of automotive care. If you want a mechanic with integrity who knows his way around both domestic and high-end imports, this is the place. read more

Overall if you are looking for a shop that knows that they are doing and gets work done in a timely manner. Check them out. read more

I've been going to ERA for 7 years now. Honest, trustworthy and treats your car as if it were his own. No BS and gets the Job done. Other shops have tried to put me together and overcharged me. You won't have that issue here. Trust me when I say you don't want to go anywhere else. read more

I can't say enough great things about Era Performance and the incredible job they did on my recently purchased 2012 BMW X5 xDrive50i. Although the car had relatively low mileage, it came with a host of problems -- a major coolant leak that forced me to constantly top off coolant and motor oil, an engine that would turn on with an overheating warning even after sitting idle, and severely worn suspension and brakes. Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed and overwhelmed. That's when I reached out to Alex at Era Autosports, and from the very first interaction, he was a pleasure to work with. He inspected the car thoroughly, identified the root causes of the engine issues, and walked me through what needed to be done. Since I already knew the suspension and brakes needed to be replaced, I gave Alex a general idea of what I was looking for in terms of performance and feel. He provided knowledgeable recommendations and really took the time to explain each option. As the work progressed, Alex also identified additional issues, like worn hoses, and kept me informed every step of the way. The results were beyond what I expected. Alex installed the struts and lowering springs I requested and even fine-tuned the sport mode to adapt to the new setup. The difference is night and day -- the car feels and drives like it's brand new. All the engine issues are resolved, and the suspension and brakes transformed the driving experience. On top of all that, the pricing was very fair, especially considering the amount of parts and labor involved. Thank you, Era Performance, for bringing my BMW back to life. I'd wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for an experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely kind mechanic. read more

I reached out to Era to work on my beloved E60 M5. I don't extend my trust very easily when it comes to this car. I immediately grew fond of the guys here and I must say. Great job team! The facility was very clean. The service rendered were top notch. They even accommodated to my busy schedule and provided additional services no one in the area would! BMW's are very finicky cars.
