Danny and his crew are top notch. Had them install my hill country modded Cobb 20G, process west TMIC, Cobb 4-Bar map, Koyo radiator, new plugs and convert to speed density , then dyno-tune my 2018 STI. I couldn't be happier with the result. We spent hours on the phone landing on what they ended up doing and it was never a sales pitch, more like talking to another enthusiast about the car. With the 1050 injections and 340 pump, I made 406whp on E85 and it's a whole different car. Took a while to get in as they're slammed, but once I brought it in, it was on the lift before I left the shop. Parts were all installed within a couple days and tuned a couple after that. I will never take my car anywhere else. Stoked to yeet these pistons into the stratosphere and bring it back for a full build from Pops for 500+. Thank you Danny, Jordan and Sebastian for the awesome service! read more

I can't say enough good things about metro . These guys made the whole experience solid from start to finish. What really stood out was their honesty. They didn't try to upsell me on unnecessary parts or push anything I didn't need. They took the time to explain everything, gave real expectations, and kept it 100% transparent the entire way. The work itself speaks for itself--clean, precise, and done with real care. You can tell they take pride in what they do. My car runs amazing, and I have full confidence in the setup because I know it was done right. Hardworking, knowledgeable, and trustworthy--rare combination these days. If you're thinking about hooking up your whip , this is the place to go. Thanks Danny and the entire metro team. read more

I had a new radiator installed along with a transmission oil cooler pump on my Subaru Outback. I thought I got it fixed the first time? But when I took it out to drive it overheated. I was recommended to take my car to Metro performance of SoCal. Danny and his crew were amazing. I was told previously that it was my head gasket that was blown. It might be cracked? But went through each steps to make sure that it wasn't. Danny and his father and his crew knew that there was something maybe going on. He had the car for 2 days ran it, and my car has never run better. I suggest that if you have a subaru. Take it to Danny and his guys over at Metro performance. Don't question anywhere else just take it to them. I can't give them higher Stars than a five but I give a much money so thank you again for all your work my car is going straight to you anytime I have any problems read more

Can't recommend this place enough. Danny, Sean, and the team have been consistently helpful every step of the way. They really took the time to listen to my concerns and made it clear they genuinely cared about helping me, not just getting the job done. Solid, honest service all around. read more

Danny and team is on it. Multiple reviews saying they know their stuff... and I can confirm! Thank you for everything Metro Performance!

These guys know their stuff. I'll be taking my GR86 here for all my service. Thank you Danny and the boys. See you soon.

These dudes know their stuff! Have owned a 2007 wrx wagon, 2018 STi, and now have a 2012 wrx. Been to many shops throughout SoCal and these guys are by far the coolest and best to work with! read more

Metro Performance of SoCal - They took care of my car!!!! That's the shop. - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Murrieta, California

Awesome. Integrity. Honesty. Competent. These are the words I think of with these guys. I've been dealing with some issues with my engine pulling timing, a weird ticking noise, etc.. Sean took a look at my car, answered a TON of questions, really took his time. He figured out the issues super quick. I thought I needed my valve cover gaskets replaced. Dan Sr took one look and told me I just need to change my oil fill tube o ring. Basically, these guys have me advice on how NOT to spend money at their shop! And Monica is super nice and informative as well. Hands down the best mechanic experience ever. I now have answers to all my problems, not having spent a single penny. How many shops out there would do that? I have 2 Subarus, and I'll only be taking them here. read more

These guys know their stuff. Heard good stuff about this shop and didn't mind driving the hour from San Bernardino. Brought it in at 9am and they were not only able to diagnose the problem but have it fixed by noon. I had took it to a couple local mechanics and even after having the car for days they were unable to find the problem. Thank you for all your help guys, and thank you for going above and beyond to have the Subie running good again. Hopefully I can get another 160k miles out of this thing. read more

Kind of confused, and disappointed in how they claim to be Subaru performance specialists after talking to them. I inquired with them about completing a custom engine build on my 2015 WRX, and was told that they don't do any work on, or build FA20DIT's! How the hell can you say you're a Subaru performance shop on not work on, or build FA's? I also understand that they have a dyno at their shop for tuning as well. Hmmmmm.....would you let a shop dyno tune your FA20DIT engine if they were so uncomfortable with the engine that they don't do any work on them, or build them?!? That being said....if you're looking for true pros with a FA20 build call Outfront Performance in Buena Park where my engine is being built. Then take it right down the street to Ron Watson for the sauce @ phatbotti to get tuned to perfection! read more

I cant thank the team enough for getting my wrx running smoothly again. I was having problems after installing a downpipe. Thankfully danny and sean were able to find the problem for me within a matter of minutes. Scheduled me less than a week out to fix the downpipe as well as having sean tune for me. I dropped my car off to them around 830 am and by 1 i was able to come pick up. They are both extremely knowledgeable and went above to answer all my questions. I was a bit skeptical but things came up and i had to drive up to the bay area 2 days later and i had 0 issues the whole trip and got better mpg. Ill definitely be back for anything on my cars. read more

I must say Danny and the Metro Team are great. Thanks for a solid tune on E85 and a really good experience. I really should have just came here first to people that have been doing this forever!. MY car is not the same. It is a lot faster and smother! Great work here and thank you! read more

My subaru was running lean and misfiring in all 4 cylinders after installing a new intake and running on my old tune. My local shop recommended them saying they're one of the best when it comes to subarus. Tried looking somewhere closer because I live in San Diego and it was a 59 mile drive. Had a pretty bad experience just making an appointment at Delicious tuning which was the closest dyno shop to me. Called in only for them to tell me I have to make an appointment through email. It took 2 days of receiving 1 email a day for them to tell me I'd have to wait almost 2 months before I could bring my car in. At metro I called in and made the appointment. After 5 minutes I was scheduled for next week. Day of the appointment turns out my car was leaking. Shawn (or Sean) was really cool, fixed the leaks for me, even sold me the right gasket for my new blow off valve and got it on the dyno within 30 minutes. Highly recommend. Well worth the hour driven. read more

Let me start off by saying what an amazing well rounded group of guys! This shop is your only stop for your Subaru Needs. These guys have an outstanding work ethic that keeps them going when other would turn away. The process of building the car was seem less. They are very good about contact and making sure your okay with what they do before they even order a part or Posen a bolt. They don't tell you what you don't need like all the other places. These guys aren't trying to retire. They are trying to make a statement. This is the shop to go to. I will never take my Subaru anywhere else. Side Note: I Drive a fully built 2004 Subaru Impreza STI built and tuned by the one and only Metro. read more

Made an appointment for 8am, a retune and wide-band install. I was told to show up early so they can get started with the car right away. Sat around for three hours before they began to even look at my car. They installed my wideband, never even mounted it just left the gauge flopped onto the steering wheel. They then retuned my car on the dyno for 3 hours. When I left I go to do a pull on the freeway and the car starts breaking up. My check engine light would start flashing and go away. Then to make matters even worse the car spun a bearing upon start up. read more

Hands down best shop I've been to. They will bend over backwards to help you. I'm x military and work overseas mostly. They worked with me and my schedule to get my car finished by the time I returned home. Grade A service and continued service when I had questions. -Andy read more

The best Subie shop I've ever been too hands down! For years my vehicle and wallet has suffered from shops "claiming" that there knowledge is second to none when it comes to the Subaru platform , but in actuality they are uneducated Thieves and looking to make quick buck and give you more problems then what you previously had. The guys at metro Performance are top notch experts when it comes to the subie platform!! It's really rare to come across a shop of this caliber! I first came here looking for a tune and I was very skeptical at first due to trauma I received with other GARBAGE shops. I made appointment to get my car dialed in and it was the best investment I ever made in my life! While the car was on the dyno my vehicle starting to show the works of other shops! My vehicle had sooo many issues and I was worried about my vehicle and that them telling me that my vehicle wasn't going to be tune today due to complications of the vehicle. This is where the vast knowledge of Danny , Danny senior and Sean came in they FIXED Everything that was preventing my car from being tuned! After my car was tuned I was kind of upset with the dyno numbers because my car only did 280whp on 91! But when I drove the car after the tune the car felt like 330whp! And I was extremely shocked on how well the car performed with those numbers! I was so pleased on how well the tune went that I came back for the e 85 tune! And made even better numbers!!! I was very pleased at the PRICE as well!!!! I was scared that I was going to be billed a arm and a leg! But that wasn't the case at all. These guys were very fair. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY SUBARU OWNER TO COME TO THIS SHOP!!!! And stop wasting you hard earned money with other shops for they only take your money and In Return give you more problems to deal with! These guys have been in multiple magazines "high times"and done multiple builds and they now owned 2 shops because of how many clientele they have. When I met them they only had ONE! read more

I gotta give a shout out to these guys at Metro Performance. They literally bent over backwords to get my subie on the dyno. I had a hella fun time hanging out with these guys and i would recommend them to everyone. They educated me every step of the way and i definitely trust them with my subie. read more

This was my first service with Metro and I will never take my car here for a service again. I took my car to a reputable carmod shop in Orange because I felt my car was not performing well after my new rear and front sway bars and new rear multilinks were installed by Metro and the minute they test drove my car they knew right away something was not right and sure enough there was a missing bolt and the rear sway bar was a shitty job it was crooked. Metro used the old endlinks because their crew insisted that the one that came with the sway bar kit were not the right ones well guess what??? THEY WERE THE RIGHT PARTS!!!...the shop in Orange pretty much gave a summary of the job Metro did and it was "PRETTY SHITTY CRAPPY ASS JOB". Metro didn't even do a test drive of my car after the install. What kind of a "performance" shop would do that?!?!? Shame on DANNY(owner) didn't even check his crew if they're doing a proper job!!! First their receptionist verified with Danny that I will only pay $200 for the service but when I got there of course Danny changed it to $275 because of "miscommunication"....oh and PLEASE STOP SMOKING INSIDE YOUR OFFICE/LOBBY NOT EVERYONE WHO GOES THERE SMOKES!!! Piece of advice it's not always about the money first, try QUALITY first my friend....This review is not to discourage anyone who wants to go to Metro. I just HOPE that you will NOT get the same service and experience that I got. This is just my honest opinion based on the experience I had with this shop. I hope Danny reads this and do a reassessment of his priorities. I know it's business and he needs to make money but I also work hard so I can pay for a decent job which I didn't get. I don't have a tree in my backyard that grows money. I REALLY thought I had found the proper shop where I can take my 2 Subies, sadly this was not the shop. read more

First off let me start by saying WOW!!! Southern California has desperately needed a high caliber performance shop for Subarus and we finally got one! The level of customer service, honesty, craftsmanship and attention to detail far surpass any shop that I've ever worked with. They stand behind their work 100% and I commend them for helping so many people who have had bad luck with other shops even though it is not their duty to do so. To me this is the epitomy of what the Subaru Community should be; Subarus owners helping Subaru owners! My car has been built by several different shops in 3 years from San Diego to Oceanside and all the way up to Orange with nothing but issues ranging from blown motors to improperly torqued parts. I have the utmost respect for the staff and the work they do at Metro Performance. They have helped my build tremendously over the last year since they moved out from Colorado where they had the highest reputation and track records. I look forward to a continued relationship with Danny, Senior, Sean and Brady and would recommend them for anyone looking for simple maintenance to full blown racecar to check out their shop and their quality of work. I want to thank Metro Performance for all that you do for me, San Diego Subies and the Subaru community. Keep up the amazing work! read more

After speaking with the owner Danny over a roughly 47 minute phone call, where a huge number of my concerns as well as goals were clearly reviewed, I was pretty much sold on the idea that I had discovered the right place for aftermarket work on my STi. After arriving to the facility to drop my vehicle off for the first time and meeting Danny and his team, my confidence was confirmed. I had been communicating back and forth with several of SoCal's reputable Subaru tuners prior to ever having heard about Metro Performance. There were a couple good candidates on the tuning roster, but I couldn't find that solid feeling of confidence with either of them, primarily due to a lack of what I consider to be a reasonable stream of communication. Modifying these vehicles to do what they do is not a cheap hobby, so communication is key, and Danny understands this well. Metro Performance seems to have it all under wraps. They have an indomitable combined team history specializing in the Subaru brand and are well known for their mega horsepower machines. They do everything in-house so next to nothing needs to be outsourced. Motors, transmissions, custom fabrication, etc. That kind of capability speaks volumes about a shop's potential. Needless to say, my initial modification goals were, without a doubt, a simple walk in the park for them. Through phone and email, Danny did a fantastic job of keeping my non-stop questions answered as well as keeping me informed of updates during my car's stay at their facility. He simply knows how to treat customers the way they should be treated. Sean, their in-house tuner, is bursting at the seams with passion and knowledge about what he does. He leaps at the opportunity to respond to your questions and concerns. Danny's father, Danny Sr, performs a lot of magical wrenching in the background and gives off the most heartwarming and friendly vibe from a mechanic I've had the pleasure of meeting. Across their team, you experience an overwhelming sense of comfort and satisfaction that you're being taken care of and everything being done to your car could not be done better. These guys simply love what they do, and they must seek great satisfaction in creating the best possible outcome for you. To top it all off, Danny's pricing was very competitive when stacked against the quotes provided by other reputable tuners. My only complaint about Metro Performance is that their business is located in Murrieta, which is an hour's drive for me. Despite this, I will not hesitate to revisit them for any of my STi's parts installation and tuning needs. read more

I took my Bugeye here for a tune after going to a few other places for a few years. I was a little skeptical at first, but these guys did such good work. My car had some problems they wanted to resolve before putting it on the dyno, and they really go out of their way to treat every car like it's their own. They were very professional, answered all my questions, and my car rides so much smoother. Planning to go back to them for an upgraded fuel pump and retune. Really appreciate Danny, Sean, and the team's hard work. read more

Great company to go to if you need a great running Subie. Sean and danny are extremely knowledgeable and will give you the best advise possible.

Granted i've only been in here once, but i couldn't have left more impressed. I had been to 3 different mechanics for a power steering issue, and all of them couldn't figure out the problem. I took it here, the mechanic instantly knew what the issue was and had me on my way in 15 minutes. He even explained it all to me as he was doing it, explaining why non-subaru specialists have difficulty diagnosing this problem (it's just a weird quirk of this particular subaru). Highly Recommend!! read more

Awesome automotive shop! Specializing in Subaru and more, these guys here are helpful, knowledgeable, and really want to get your vehicle where you want it to be.

Knew about Metro Performance before they opened up shop in SoCal due to YouTube videos of their customers builds and NASOIC. Needless to say I was happy to hear they opened up shop not too far from where I live. Since they stepped on the scene their reputation, customer service is everything I heard about and I knew I had to take my car there when it was time to fix it. I messaged Danny on Facebook since I was deployed and he has been extremely helpful with all my questions and concerns and helped take care of my Subie when the wife brought her in for a clutch job. Subie is going back soon for the power steering rack and hopefully I can get a pro tune when I return home. Great shop ran by great people who make you feel like family. No gimmicks or bullshit just down to earth guys who fix and build fast Subaru's. Make sure to pay these guys a visit! read more

Amazing service and wonderful to do business with. The folks at Metro Suburban (Dan and Monica) are very friendly and knowledgeable. Not only are they an independent service and repair facility for Subarus, they also wont hesitate to send you to another garage that specializes in say, bodywork just to save you money. Support'n local businesses, gotta love that! These are good people. That's hard to come by nowadays. They have earned my repeat business. read more

First i want to just express my level of gratitude for these guys. Danny Sean And Sr thank you guys for being a honest and stand up business. The level of quality work that you guys provide is only surpassed by your customer service. I don't have a single negative thing to say here. I have been waiting for a long to start my build. But never had a shop i felt comfortable with giving my money too. With Danny and the guys i have no problem giving Danny the go ahead on what to do next. I know im going to get more than my money's worth. The go above and beyond to help me in any way that they can. And the communication Danny keeps with his customers is amazing. Sean is a as good as it gets when it comes to his craft. I remeber the first time talking to Sean i got a headache trying to take in all the information he was sharing. Lol. But for reals he has always been on top of any questions or concerns i have had and has explained to me why or what is happening. My car runs better then i could have expected. If you are looking for quality honest work this is the place to go! I will never take my car anywhere else bottom line! Thank You Metro Performance for all that you do! read more

I had an overwhelmingly positive experience here at Metro. All the staff there are super nice and helpful. I've been to quite a few performance shops in SoCal and a lot of them act to busy to talk or give the impression that they just don't have enough time to say even the simplest things like "Hi how are you". I honestly felt like I was part of the Metro family while I was there during a very long 2 day tuning process. The shop specializes in Subarus however I assure you their tuner Sean is a mad scientist and could tune the space shuttle if you asked him to. He flex fuel tuned my '74 Datsun with a rb25det engine (out of a Nissan skyline) and the thing RIPS down the street. We ran into several issues during the tuning process that he quickly diagnosed and fixed so he could continue tuning and did it with a smile. He's a great guy and mastermind all things automobiles and would recommend him to anyone. Nothing but positive things to say about Metro. read more
