I came for the first time to Performance Automotive and the solid Yelp reviews were confirmed. Thai was upfront with me about what needed to be addressed with my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I used to go to the dealer, however, with 180,000 miles on my 11 year vehicle it is just too expensive to continue to pay dealer prices. My car needed a headlight replacement and I had a few other maintenance items taken care of. I wanted an experienced mechanic that would shoot straight with me and I will be coming back for future service work. I would love my Jeep to last another 10+ years. It has been my favorite car of all my vehicles. It is so hard to find a good independent mechanic and I am grateful for Thai and his team. read more

This shop is amazing! I have a 2018 VW Tiquan. I brought it to them to double check a recommendation the dealership made ($2K service). Thai walked me through how I did not need the service. Verified and performed an oil change. Thai was great! Super informative, up front and straight with me. I will forever take my car to them for service going forward. Highly recommend it your lookin for service on your VW or Audi! read more

They didn't understand the issue at the first time. But as long as I showed them what the issue was, they fixed correctly.

Thai & Performance Automotive did it again! Great guy & great work! Honest mechanic with great price! I would recommend anyone that needs their car work on to check this place out. Wish I knew about this place sooner! Will definitely be back! read more

Thai and his team are impeccable the quality of service and charisma of the staff is unmatched I wouldn't go with any other mechanics they are number one choice by a long shot always honest true to their word and genuine I've been going with them for about two years now with a handful of visits and every time they go above and beyond appreciate yall again! Anytime I'm recommending a shop to the friends or family it's always performance automotive even the name rolls off the tongue nice boss ass mechanics 5stars everyday any day! read more

I was pretty hesitant about finding a shop for my car on Yelp, but I am really glad I ended up at Performance Automotive and Detail. Thai and his team were great. They kept me updated throughout the whole repair and actually took the time to explain what was going on. I really appreciated that they took my car out for a long drive to make sure the specific issue I was worried about was completely gone. Honestly, they should have given me a discount for the gas they used, but I am just kidding! I will definitely be back for future service, and I highly recommend them to anyone else with a European car. read more

This was my second visit The first visit was look at check engine light on in my 2008 Tundra. They did a thorough check. Thai said I realistically needed a new transmission. Changing the fluid "might" help but he didn't recommend it. I sold the truck Today I brought my 4-Runner in for an oil change. They always check the entire car and told me I needed new rear brakes. I had heard that before so I bit the bullet and had them done. The service was completed quickly. While waiting, Thai and I had enjoyable conversations. I feel confident coming here. It is quite a ways away from where I live but I will use them again. It can be difficult to find a truthful and knowledgeable mechanic so I am happy I found them read more

Fair prices and competent certified technicians. Got me In and out in a little over four hours for three maintenance items on my Pathfinder. Brad is very knowledgeable and good with customers. read more

I had such a great experience here and am so grateful I found this shop! I came in feeling really overwhelmed with car issues, and Thai took the time to walk me through everything clearly and kindly, no pressure, no upselling, just genuine help. They diagnosed the problem quickly, explained the repair in detail, and were super fair with pricing. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in their work. If you're looking for an honest, reliable place that treats you like a real person, this is it. I'll definitely be back and will be recommending them to friends and family. Thank you again! read more

I can't recommend "T" and his repair shop enough! With extensive connections in the auto world, "T" has handled a wide range of repairs and maintenance on our diverse collection of cars. Whether it's a windshield replacement, paint job, ceramic coating, or auto detailing, "T" is the go-to guy. His resourcefulness and fair pricing make the experience even better. We've trusted him with everything from our Nissan and Scion to our Volvo, Ford Expedition, classic 1979 Mercedes 450 SL, and Lexus RX 350. His versatility and expertise with different makes and models speak volumes about his skill and dedication to customer satisfaction. It's great to have a one stop auto shop in the neighborhood read more

Excellent customer service!!!! Friendly and informative. Make sure you ask this place for a quote before going elsewhere!

Came in for a check on my transmission, they explained really well and helped me understand what was going on with the car. Reasonable price! Good and honest service! Will comeback for future needs! Highly recommend! read more

These guys do a great job. Our vehicles have heavy dog hair, and lots of dirt. They detailed the inside of my car, and did a fantastic job. Then they did the exterior the next week. And redis the interior for free! They also don't try to talk you into stuff you don't want. I highly recommend this company. read more

I came back for additional work on my truck and Thai's team took care of a tricky repair perfectly. He was very patient and took the time to explain the repair job and answered all of my questions. I fully recommend him for your repair needs! read more

Wanted to add one to the list. Truly appreciate the communication and clarity from the quote to executing the repairs and relaying things to look out for in the future. Extremely happy with the repairs performed by Thai and the Mechanics at Performance Automotive. Wishing you continued success and prosperity. read more

Quick response and quick turn around for repair. Did an awesome job and kept us in the loop of repair/part status and quote. Definitely will use again if needed read more

They quoted a fair price and were easy to work with. I'd come back. They were a little high on parts prices but they worked with me on that and I could not be happier. read more

I had such a great, positive experience with Performance Automotive and Detail! I've been having an ongoing issue with my car for over a year and was told different things, from different shops/mechanics. Thai & his team was able to get to the bottom of what the problem was regarding my transmission, to diagnose properly and efficiently. Thai took his time and walked me through the process; He was informative, kind and patient. I felt heard and not taken advantage of. If you're looking for a shop that is reliable, honest and values their work, they are it! I will definitely be back and will continue to recommend family and friends in need. THANK YOU read more

I've been coming here for a few years and have always had such a positive experience! I first brought my 2005 civic in because another mechanic told me I needed a new timing belt for a ridiculous amount of money, and after some research found out that it would be way less expensive here. Once they did their free diagnostic check they told me I didn't even need the new timing belt! I've never felt like they were trying to take advantage, they are just really standup genuine guys. They've always been able to schedule within a few days at the most too and are really affordable compared to other places. I moved back to Seattle but still come here because it's always worth the trip. Highly recommend!! read more

Had some concerns about a noise in my car so I decided to take it in. First time here and I'm so glad I came. I was shown by the owner that nothing was seriously wrong with a detailed explanation. This shop is very knowledgeable in what they are doing. Seems to be hard to find that nowadays so I'm grateful. This shop will be having my business for all my future car needs. read more

I was lucky to hook up with these guys!. Needed a new transmission in my Mazda(1991). They took care of me in a great and timely manor. Friendly, good people and knowledgeable. I will highly recommend them to anybody that needs work done on their car!!!!! read more

I take my car here regularly for oil changes because of the friendly service and the reasonable price. I also had my car detailed here after my cat got sick on the backseat from taking him to the vet. They did a fantastic job and cleaned the whole interior of the car for a great price. read more

Good honest mechanic. Worked with me to get everything needed and could afford... Great value

Professional, honest and prompt. My VW check engine light is on, came here because of Yelp reviews and it's a true 5 stars experience. Reasonable and honest shop, highly recommended. Thank you Thai, I really appreciate it. read more

The staff is friendly and helpful. Erik was knowledgeable and quickly solved my problem. I have an older model Volvo and he went above and beyond to help me get info on parts and recommendations. After years of going only to the dealership, I won't be taking my Volvo anywhere else but here! Thanks so much Erik!! read more

My wife's Audi Q5 was having issues with the vents not blowing air out so windows kept getting fogged up which made it hard unsafe to drive. Try to schedule with dealership and was 3-4 weeks before they would even see us. Called up Performance Auto and told us to stop by same day to check it out. Quickly identified the issue without a fee, and said if we wanted it fix a part can come in a few days. The quick work was greatly appreciated. That experience swayed me to also get my C300 maintenance with them, and they were honest checking my filters and said they were still in great shape so didn't want to replace them and charge me for something I didn't need. I highly recommend them. read more

So much tree sap from a recent storm had covered my vehicle. They made my Jeep look brand new again! They took caution to ensure the integrity of the vehicle's finish. Reasonably priced! Regret not taking a before photo; trust me, it was messy. Recommend Performance Automotive. read more

Performance Automotive And Detail - Looking new! - Auto Repair Near Me - Renton, Washington

See all

Had a detail done because we spilled some gasoline in the back of the vehicle. They covered up the smell, but once the perfumes disappeared it became clear that they hadn't gotten it all. Check where we asked them to focus and they hadn't cleaned there. Moreover, they increased the cost of our estimate once we arrived and missed other parts of the car including smearing some substance in the inside of the windshield. read more

Performance Automotive and Detail performed an inspection of the brakes of my car and pointed out the work that needed to be done. the costs were within the range they quoted. they worked on the brakes while i waited in the shop. they had 3 mechanics working on my car at the same time and the work was done faster than expected and I was able to go home earlier than planned. read more

Erik and his crew are fantastic. I went in for an oil change and they noticed a very slow coolant leak. I found Erik to be honest, professional, friendly and helpful, and more economical than going to the dealer. read more

The staff provided prompt, professional service. They replaced the suspension, rear stabilizers, and rear brakes w/rotors in one afternoon. The car feels like new! They were kind enough to bundle the services with a discount. Consider me a grateful and loyal customer! read more

T is an incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and always explains the problem clearly, making sure I understand what needs to be fixed before any work is done. They are very fair with pricing and always go the extra mile to ensure my car is running smoothly. read more

Went in for an Oil Change cause I'm new to the area and I own a Volvo and just don't have the time to do my own changes. This is a review of the oil change service. Time in: 12:30PM, Time out: 1:10PM You know Erik respects and is knowledgeable about cars cause even at 5k mileage since last oil change, he said it should be fine (synthetic oil is a premium due to its viscosity and ability to handle heat). What he doesn't know is that I drove it pretty hard to California and back. He goes above and beyond to treat ANY car with respect. Topped off any liquids needed for the car and does an inspection. All free of charge. You can tell he's not here to screw you. Jason was also a pleasure to work with to set up an appointment and just provide estimates for pricing. Will definitely come back again. To the flakey customers (customers that bail on their appointments), please do your business here and keep good businesses in the area. read more

Jason was extremely responsive and flexible as we were trying to get my MIL's old Jeep towed to their shop! We eventually got it there and he did an inspection at no charge (which is awesome in itself), but then was very honest and transparent with his assessment. I figured a 1996 vehicle would have a ton of issues, but he pointed out what was good, what would need future attention, and what he thought needed immediate attention. We took all of his recommendations and he did the work quickly, AND at an extremely good rate. I haven't found a mechanic I've felt comfortable with in a LONG time, but now I've got someone I trust, who I know will do the job right, and fairly! I just hope I'm not hurting myself by telling too many people about this and limiting Jason's availability! :) read more

Jason and Erik are great! Great value and excellent service. Bonus you can get your vehicle detailed here too! Definitely will return

Great professional service. I got a brake fluid flush and everything went smoothly from the scheduling to getting the job done. I'd happily come back. read more

I went to get my A/C fixed and they were so thorough ..... I highly recommend them for any car trouble..... They are honest and trustworthy.... That's hard to find read more

I recently had my Mercedes scheduled maintenance done here. Absolutely great service and budget friendly. I have been looking for a shop near me since we moved to Renton and I have found the place. Great customer service and communication. Highly recommended! read more

I was worried about a brake problem on my Prius, but wasn't sure if it was something to be concerned about. I went to Toyota, but they wouldn't do anything more than a visual inspection (even with a coupon) unless I paid $190. I was able to schedule a check up with Performance. They did a full inspection of the brake system, were fast, reliable and honest. Turned out that I didn't need to do anything for several thousand miles and when the time comes to replace the brake pads it will still be much cheaper than Toyota. Will be coming back! read more

My car was a disgusting mess. Combination of dog, mud from hiking and my overall disdain for cleaning my car was a train wreck. Plus there was this weird smell I couldn't figure out. Took it here and a few hours later, bam, clean. They even found stuff that I had been missing for years. 5 stars and a thumbs up from my wife who thinks I'm slightly less disgusting now. read more
