Parker repairs my cars and the cars of many of my employees. I trust him implicitly. He's a native of Sonoma County and plans to be here for the rest of his life so I know he's concerned about building his business the right way - by treating his customers fairly and honestly. He knows his stuff and stands behind his works. read more

Always gets the job done and even cleans up after himself so my care is cared for on a deeper level than most places I've gone too. I trust Parker and his staff! Totally 10/10 recommend read more

Parker is a very knowledgeable mechanic. After years and years sitting in a garage, Parker and his team helped get my 70 year old Chevy truck back on the road. The work included a new engine head, carburetor, master cylinder, brakes, bearings and a leaf spring pin & shackle kit. read more

Parker & Mike completely rebuilt my show car 32 Ford and did an AMAZING job on it. Everytime I stopped by, they had made a lot of progress...not like other shops where your car sits for months at a time. They also turned my bigblock Chevelle from a good running car into a BEAST! It's running better than it ever has. Parker & Mike really know their stuff and don't miss even the smallest details. I definitely recommend Parker Performance!!! read more

Great service. Honest repair shop. I have never had them try to upsell services on any of my cars.

Always quality work on our vehicles from Parker and his crew. These guys understanderstand performance vehicles and don't pull any punches. read more

My twin sister, dog and I are traveling the country in the same 1973 Dodge Dart sport that we learned to drive on 16 years ago. Before this trip I did everything I could to prepare for a safe journey. So I wasn't expecting my new disc brakes to turn to complete garage 1,800 miles into our journey. We ended up getting towed into Santa Rosa from Gualala on highway 1 (talk about a scary place for brake failure). This resulted in a day of calling, I swear, every shop in town and being told they don't work on old cars or none OEM parts. All signs pointed to Parker's performance, everyone suggested them up and down. When we rolled into their shop they looked at it immediately!!! We were worried parts may take a week and not be available... but this effing wizard got all the parts the same day and had us back on the road the next afternoon. This included a front brake rebuild and straightening out my valve cover to remedy a leaky torn apart gasket that wasn't getting proper contact. I want to add when we got there, there was no high pressure. They even showed us the cars they were working on, all AMAZING looking classics, that set me at ease. The owner met us at the tow truck and shortly after we were introduced to everyone working there that day. Everyone was a delight to talk to.... I mean who experiences NOT wanting to leave an auto shop! I suggest using them if you live in the area or ever break down. Or hell if you live far away and have a trusted classic you want a true professional to work on! Much love from Rosie, Daisy and 14 year old pup Ringo. read more

See all

Parker is the extremely knowledgeable. I have taken multiple vehicles to him from my brand new Lexus to my old Jeep (which he did a perfect job on the suspension and body lift). I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for an honest and fair mechanic. Chris read more

I thought I had a major issue going on my 2011 car. I was expecting to pay hundreds maybe even thousands of dollars to fix the problem I was having. Parker could have easily told me I had something that bad going on to my car. Turns out it was a simple fix that was super cheap. Thank you so much for your honesty and being very knowledgeable at what you do. read more

As a single parent working a full time job, usually during the regular business hours of most businesses, I find it hard to schedule weekday appointments. David and Parker are so commited to their customers that they came to my work place, picked up my vehicle and serviced it, all while I was busy at work. They also made it a point to bring my vehicle back before the end of my shift. That is the kind of customer service that turns regular customers into LOYAL customers!!!!!! If you want professional and honest work performed on your vehicle(s) this is the place for you!!! read more

Parker has worked on many of my cars over the years and is great!!! Thanks, man!

Best place ! Great group of guys who will go out of their way to help their customers. Ive ordered 5 items now and received everyone in a timely manner read more

This guy is a capable mechanic he just doesn't do a complete job. So you end up having a bunch of other issues come out. He put in a new transmission but didn't change the sensor plate. Rookie mistake unless the point was to get over on an attractive 20ish female. Of course this was after the numerous unnecessary texts wanting to have drinks. Almost got killed on freeway when car would jerk uncontrollably for no apparent reason read more

Excellent service. These guys really know what they're doing. I highly recommend Parker Performance.

Gave him $5000 to do the work didn't do the work right didn't fix the car ripped me off beware I didn't know what he was doing I have paperwork to prove and witnesses I'm going to court pretty soon I'm going to file claim. my car not that difficult to work on at the Chevy read more

I have been bringing my cars to Parker since 2015. He explains what is wrong and gets the job done effectively. The techs are always friendly. Parker is very knowledgeable of what he does, but makes sure what is in need of service is explained in great detail and comprehensible to a person who does not know anything about cars. The front end operations manager Nick, is very skilled in finding parts and writing up estimates. They get you in and out, because they know your time matters.I live a couple hours a way and still make the drive down to have my car worked on, because I know the team here will make sure my cars are always running smoothly. read more

These guys are the best! I showed up there yesterday with huge problems with my vehicle and in a rush to get it fixed so I could continue my cross-country trip. They understood my time constraints and put several mechanics on the job so I could get moving. They're nice, efficient and supper knowledgeable. I'd encourage everyone to use them. read more

My car broke down passing by Santa Rosa. I had no choice but to pull over into town and rush to the nearest auto shop before my car died in the middle of the road (my car was smoking like crazy). Thankfully Parker Performance was where I landed. The two gentleman were very helpful and efficient and I was up and running the next morning. He would have had me going the same day (keep in mind I came in ten minutes before closing) but I decided to take it easy and stay the night in town. Drove my car down from Santa Rosa to LA in one shot no problems. Thank you, you guys rock! read more

Took my 98 Lexus SC300 there for a oil change. The building is spartan and the customer waiting room doubled as an engine repair room that had a V-8 engine on a dolly in a state of disassembly. There was no heat in the "waiting room", even though it was the end of December and the temperature was about 50 degrees, so very cold and uncomfortable. I left my vehicle with them for just the oil change. Half an hour later I got a call from them telling me that the oil change was done and they were putting together an estimate for work that they recommend that I get done. When I arrived back to pick up my car the, employee that had taken the order was still working on the estimate, and I had to wait nearly a half hour in the freezing waiting room while he went though the motions of something I had not asked them to do. One on the things that they said that they had "discovered" needed work was that my radiator cap, which had "fallen apart" when it had been removed to check the cooling fluids and they said that it needed replacing. After nearly freezing to death waiting for them to deliver estimate for the $2,500.00 work that they recommended, I paid for the oil change, the only thing I had asked them to do, and left. Straight away, I noticed that I was getting a lot of fogging of my windows and to keep my windows defogged, I found that I was having to put on the air-condition to clear the fogging. The next day I checked the radiator cap and it did look like it had pieces missing, and there was also a rubber washer that was laid in the bottom of the radiator opening where the radiator cap sealed the radiator. I had no idea if this rubber washer was original equipment, or something that Parker Performance had put in to seal the radiator after they had broken the radiator cap, which worked just fine up to taking it in for the oil change. I bought a new radiator cap and installed it leaving the rubber washer that was in the radiator opening, as I have said I did not know whether this was a part of the cooling system design or a Parker Performance unauthorized addition to make the radiator cap that they had broken seal again. With the new radiator cap installed, the fogging seemed to get even worse, so I was forced to use the air-conditioner in mid winter, to clear the fogging, something I had never had to do up until I had taken my car to Parker Performance, and within a couple of hour my climate control system packed up completely, with the heater blowing only cold air. Great! Now my climate control was broken, and I was possibly looking at hundreds to thousands of dollars to have someone else to look at it and get fixed. However, I went over to the dealership and had them look up the exploded view of the radiator and radiator cap to see if the rubber washer I had found in the radiator was a part of the original equipment, and it was not! I removed the rubber washer that Parker Performance had installed as an unauthorized repair of something that they had themselves broken, and to my relief, my climate control system started to work again and the heater began blowing hot again. Also the window fogging stopped. So, by letting these clowns change my oil, they could well of cost me hundreds to thousands of dollars to get my climate control fixed after Parker Performance had sabotaged my vehicle with an unauthorized repair, that they did not mention that they had done, to fix the radiator cap that they had broken, while checking something I had not asked them to check. I would recommend steering well clear Parker Performance and Repair if you don't want risk the potentially expensive nightmare you could find yourself in from the the same type of secret unauthorized break-fix repairs that that they did to my car. read more

Oh boy were we fortunate to find Parker and his repair shop! Our 2001 Toyota Corolla was on the fritz, and we were desperate to find a good, honest, and affordable mechanic- and we lucked out! Parker is extremely knowledgable and took us through every step with his diagnostics and repairs. (He even offered us a ride home, and although we chose to wait, I wouldn't have minded a ride in his awesome truck!) My husband had to teach that afternoon at Sonoma State University, and we were sure he would have to cancel class, but Parker was so incredibly fast! We got out of there in no time with the car purring like it should, and my husband was able to make it to class in time! Parker went out of his way to find us the most affordable and reliable option for our ailing vehicle. We could not have been more pleased with the service, and will definitely be back the next time our car acts up. We also met Gasket, the resident black lab, who is perfectly camouflaged on the black leather reclining* couches. Thank you Parker for saving us in more ways than one! read more

This guy is not ASE certified according to a nearby mechanic who receives many customers who are dissastisfied with Parker's work. I went to fix an idling problem. He never fixed it but did nevertheless bill me in full for new parts which did not correct the problem. Finally at a different garage the problem was fixed. read more

Parker seems knowledgable and very helpful. The $20 oil change is a sweet deal. I plan on returning if I need further assistance on my vehicle! read more

Normally I like to repair my own car but was traveling and helping a friend with their car. As soon as I walked through the door and started talking to these guys, I was sold. Solid, if not extensive knowledge on the car and its specific issue. Gave me a fair quote (knew the price range from shopping around), plus a few up-sale suggestions (which I didn't take as they were simple enough for me to do when I had the time). Left the car, was called when done, paid and drove away a happy customer. Bottom line, These guys rock! read more

I've been a driver for 20+ years and have owned many cars that had many problems. Mechanics have always been there to fix the problems but never have they taken the time to help me understand why, until I found Parker Performance. Not only do they care about their customers' car, they also care about building a relationship for the future. E.g. I took my mercury mountaineer in for a routine oil change and mentioned my great shift was sticking a little. Parker fixed the issue quickly and shook my hand for payment, adding that he would hope I would be back for future issues. Thanks Parker for being my mechanic. read more

been in the automotive business for last sixteen years and I know how hard it is to please these customers. the customer service was amazing I was a person not a car owner, Parker is very smart and awsome to work with. he found more things wrong with my car than I went in for but was never pressured to do the extra work, it was handled very professionally and educated. overall very satisfied with the work and the professionalism. I would recommend anyone with a problem big or small to go here with great confidence. read more

I have never been more pleased with a service shop. I took my car to Parker after being referred by a friend, and all the work he's done on my car probably would've cost me ten times more anywhere else. He has also ferried me back and forth from my job and home several times in order to save me long hours of sitting in the (very comfortable) waiting room. As long as I live in the area, I will never take my car to another mechanic. read more
