The front side of my skid plate came off at 75mph coming of the Howard Franklin Bridge. I pulled over to confirm and googled nearest car repair business. Just 1.8 miles away was Powertech. Walked into the office and was greeted by the nicest people. Although not really what they do, they were kinda enough to snip the plate off so I could be on my way. It was the day before thanksgiving and I'd like to give thanks to Powertech for the help. Thank you Joe for your kindness! read more

I wish there was a 15 star option. Joe and his entire crew know more about GM performance than GM does. The professionalism, the attention to detail, the communication, I couldn't ask for more. I drove 2.5 hours specifically based on Powertech's ratings, and I'm glad I did. I told Joe my power goals, he picked the parts and 1100 HP later, my ZL1 1LE is a MONSTER! Joe is a man of his word, does what he says and says what he does. Thank you Joe and your professional crew, absolutely top notch!!! read more

This is for all of those who are in search of , customer focused, Corvette specialty shop. This is definitely the place to go. Joe and his team went above and beyond to not only fix the issues that I brought the car with, but also point out other issues that other shops missed or did not care to highlight. Joe and his team went to the extent of taking pictures and videos to document the whole repair process to highlight all of the changes made to get my car running 100% as much as possible. Not only did they do a perfect job but great communication fair pricing and they even did a couple of extra things at no cost to me just to try to get my car as perfect as possible upon pick up. I brought my 2011 Corvette for a clutch and a torque tube rebuild. They were able to do that in a few matter of days even while in conjuring issues like having to order a new prop shaft and overnighting it for me so my car did not have to sit on the lift. My center consul was loose in the vehicle and they went ahead and fix that for me even though I did not come in for that issue at all, demonstrating their top notch work. I wish I went to them the minute I bought the Corvette, but I'm happy to have found them now. I look forward to building the car at power tech with Joe and his team. Special thanks to Logan and Brad, who were the ones working on my car itself and actually were able to show me all the different things that they found and how they went ahead and fixed them once I went to pick the car up even showed me the old parts to show exactly what went wrong. I could not have been happier with their service thank you again read more

Powertech Performance - Tires Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

See all

I can't say enough nice things about Joe and the crew at Powertech Performance. Took my C6 ZO6 vette in to get the head issue fixed. Joe explained everything in detail and was professional. Finding a reputable and knowledgeable mechanic that only works on Corvettes is hard to find. I would highly recommend this place to everyone that owns a Corvette. Car rides great. Thanks again Joe, will be back for stage 2. read more

There is no place better if you have a Corvette or an LS motor don't go anywhere else. Joe and his crew are the best.

I brought my car in due to someone recommending joe to me. The battery died on my car and a gentleman changed it and I lost my tune and just needed the tune re-flashed. Joe spend the majority of the time bad mouthing another performance shop and then tried to up sell me for dyno time that a didn't need at all and schedule me out a month down the road. It seemed he was more interested in blowing up my motor to sell me one of his "amazing" Frankenstein engines. Joe was extremely arrogant and I went with my better judgement to a different shop to have my issues resolved and a super charger and motor oil change for less then 200 bucks. Joe is not a friend to the corvette community. I will never step foot in his shop nor will I ever recommend him to anyone... not even an enemy. So yourself a favor and stay clear of this clown. read more

Killer shop! I didn't even have a car tuned there, I just went with my buddy to have his holden ss tuned and dyno and it was an awesome experience! Super cool down to earth people and very helpful! Really made you want to ask questions and not be stuck up A******* about stuff! Even asked about putting my diesel on the dyno in the future! Definitely be going back for performance needs! My buddies ss runs amazing after the tune as well!! read more

It was absolutely a pleasure working with the owner Joe. I was in a bit of a pickle with my 06 CTS V and he bent over backwards to help me out. From diagnosing to expert advice and last minute parts. They have a customer for life and I will always recommend them to my friends. I'd call them up in a heartbeat, no hesitations. read more

The best GM performance shop in central Florida. I've had 3 separate vehicles Powertech, Joe specifically, work on and I have had nothing but amazing work come out of that shop. Pricing is very fair and the staff isn't pushy if they suggest and preventive maintenance or parts. If I could think of any downside when it comes to this shop, it is that they stay busy so you have to schedule out in advance. So long as I have a GM car, Powertech will be the only shop I trust read more

Update on Powertech Performance Inc., owned by JOSEPH FERRARO. If you've read the main review, then you know I had to pay for his mistake out of my own pocket, so obviously I turned it over to my insurance company to collect on the 1k deductible I paid. After months of waiting for him to respond like a business owner should, my insurance company brought in their investigator to learn that Powertech Performance Inc. does not carry business insurance! WOW, what kind of owner doesn't carry business insurance. No protection for any of his customers, and I bet no one knows. This story is long from over, that I do promise. This guy is not keep my 1k, and either he pays up like a professional, or I'll have my day in court and let them decide, which I'm sure it goes my way. If you are thinking of using Powertech Performance Inc., I would go somewhere that runs a legitimate business with insurance to protect you. Further, if he's not protecting is customer's property, I bet the employee protection is non existent. Joseph, if you are reading this, I originally thought you had more sense then to let your mistake come down to you losing customers via bad reviews, but after learning you do not carry insurance, I now see that you aren't business minded enough to see the right path to take. The reviews will grow into the hundreds, and if I have to take you to court, well then you become a daily chore for me and the thousands of media outlets. You ripped off the wrong person. If the collection agency that is on you now doesn't collect, then we'll move forward. Be smart, pay now and avoid further bad reviews, a law suit, collections, and most likely liens that will have to be placed. read more
