    Moderate lowering springs and caliper cover install

    Took my new Tesla Model Y Juniper to UP to get my car equiped with lowering springs since I couldnt not stand looking at the wheel gap of my car. Also had them put on my new brake caliper cover. They did an amazing job with the installation of the lowering springs and my caliper covers. Its been about a month now since the installation and wanted to get a feel for the springs and comfort before writing this review. Comfort has been great with the springs and the looks of it moderately lowered is much much better for the looks. Derek (owner) was very knowledgable and honest answering all my questions and concerns. He even didnt try to upsell me shocks when I was curious if I needed them to match the lowering springs.He recomended to keep it stock for normal driving use and told me it works well with the stock shocks so I kept it as is. I highly recommend doing all your tesla tuning here at unplugged performance. Might be on the pricier side but rather spend the extra $$ knowing that they are specialists to handling Tesla vehicles.

    Lowering and alignment. Thanks UP!

    I'm a big fan and consumer of UP's custom Tesla parts. So I was so excited when I learned they had come up to NorCal and less than 2 miles from my house to boot. Derek and Bennet are great guys, extremely helpful and transparent up front. Everything you look for when you drop off your expensive, metal baby for them to work on. The shop specializes on suspension related modifications so they're super OCD when it comes to dialing in your alignment and other related suspension geometries just right. They also aren't pushy on parts you could definitely benefit from. They offer up expert recommendations and go with whatever you ultimately want done, even if that means installing a competitor's part for you. They're truly professional and don't let their egos get in the way of doing right by each of their customers. Thanks again Derek and UP team. I will be back soon I'm certain.

    Brought my 2018 Raptor in for a full fox factory race 3.0 coilover install, along with RPG upper control arms and tie rods. Not only was the install clean and done properly, they went above and beyond with doing an alignment on their rack. Truck feels great and they were by far the lowest priced in the whole Bay Area.

    I went here to get upgraded CyberHex wheels installed and balanced for my Cybertruck! I am so happy with the installation service and quality of their parts! Unplugged Performance in Fremont is my GO TO shop for all my Teslas!! Not just for performance parts, but even for my wife's daily driven Model Y! They are Focused on OEM repairs and maintenance too. They offer better pricing than Tesla themselves. They take care of repairs that even TESLA service center has turned down! I am so glad I found this shop. Derek, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and friendly to talk to. Derek and his team always provide me with awesome customer service. Also, I gotta mention that the showroom is legit next level, super clean and full of awesome displays!

    Came here for an alignment on my Tesla Model S Plaid after playing around with my lowering link settings. The shop was very clean, Derek was very friendly and the work was very thorough. He fixed the steering wheel offset I had since day 1 of having this car. Other alignment shops did not fix that nor did they care. Pricing was also fair and worth the extra care they place on your car. Highly recommended.

    They are honest, go the extra mile, and they stand by their work. Derek and his team provide great and friendly customer service. I live a little further from Fremont, but the travel was well worth it. I will definitely be coming back for all my Tesla service work and projects in the near future.

    Model 3/Y suspension upgrades

    Bought a tire from tire rack to replace a non repairable puncture. Called these guys the same day and they accommodated. Nice and clean shop, good communication, the work is good and they know what they're doing. I've had some mixed experiences at other tire shops. If you have a Tesla and you're particular about it, come here for your wheels, tires, brakes, suspension or whatever they can handle that your Tesla needs.

    Great service, awesome team. They've done a number of things for me so far: shocks, springs and control arms. Suspension upgrades UP offers are a must for any model 3 owner, at least of those before the 2024 refresh. It's a much more pleasant ride, and it mostly feels like a 2024 Model 3's suspension. For me the most memorable thing about this place is actually not the product they offer, but people that work there. It's the first time in my life I encounter a service shop that truly commits to making their customer fully satisfied. And with Tesla's random quality control, that is something you really want your shop to be like. Tesla Service Team, if you are reading this, I suggest you guys come to study how UP team works!

    Tesla Model S Plaid

    I had an awesome experience at Unplugged Performance Fremont. Derek is an awesome shop owners. He his very friendly, patient, respectful and very responsive to all questions and concerns. I went there recently and they aligned both my cars (model s plaid and model x plaid) after getting new tires. They did a custom spec alignment as my cars have after market adjustable control arms. They did it correct the first time with no issues. Now it drives straight, steering wheel is straight and now has proper specs for a long healthy tire life. I highly recommend this shop for any Tesla related needs. Derek and Arlen (awesome technician) are thr best Tesla guys in the Bay Area. I would not trust anyone else.

    Tesla Model Y inspected by Unplugged Performance
    Eric ..

    I called unplugged performance because I was interested in buying a used tesla in Fremont. I was concerned about the condition of the car so I wanted an expert to inspect it beforehand. Unplugged performance was able to fit me in their schedule same day and were ready to check it out as soon as I brought it by. They performed a test drive and comprehensive pre-purchase inspection. They found some (minor) issues that I did not identify myself and I was able to make an informed decision on buying the car. They are experts on Teslas and I'm glad I was able to use their pre purchase inspection service as part of my car buying process.

    Got the rear camber replaced for my model X. Should have done that much earlier given the price is fair and high quality of work.

    When I was told my entire engine needed to be replaced, I felt sick to my stomach. Anyone who has…read morebeen through a major car repair knows it's a hard pill to swallow, especially in California, where repair costs can be overwhelming and it often feels like everyone is charging an arm and a leg. That's why finding Kris was such a blessing. From the very beginning, Kris treated me with kindness, honesty, and professionalism. He took the time to explain everything, kept me updated throughout the process, and never made me feel like just another customer. During a stressful situation, his patience and communication made a world of difference. What impressed me most was his attention to detail. He wasn't interested in simply getting the job done, he wanted to make sure it was done right. That level of care and pride in his work is hard to find these days. I had no idea this hidden gem of a shop even existed, but I can confidently say I won't be taking my vehicle anywhere else. Not only did Kris get my Chevy back on the road, but he returned it in better condition than it was before the engine issues started. If you're looking for someone who is honest, knowledgeable, professional, and offers fair, affordable rates, Kris is the real deal. I will absolutely be returning for oil changes, maintenance, and any future vehicle repairs. Thank you, Kris, for helping me through a stressful situation and treating me with such kindness and respect. You've earned a customer for life(:

I first reached out to Kris when my local Toyota dealer quoted me nearly twice the price for a major repair. I wanted a second opinion, and I'm so glad I made the call. Kris took the time to explain the repair, provided a fair and honest quote, and earned my trust from day one. I've been bringing my Toyota Prius and Ford F-250 diesel truck to Bay City Auto ever since.

    This is a belated review, but I have had my Lexus GX470 serviced at Exact Motorsports twice in the…read morelast couple years. In November 2024, my lexus had an oil leak. I went to investigate and it was near the oil filter housing it attaches to. drove it to Exact motorsports to have them evaluate, and Sandy & John were helpful in diagnosing the problems. They seem to be very knowledgable with the toyota/lexus platform. They gave me a reasonable quote and I left the car with them. They also mentioned it was probably due for new spark plugs, and a new valve cover gasket so I had them throw that in there as well. When I picked up the car, it drove much more efficiently and no more leaks! Turns out it was a broken O ring. I enjoyed that experience, so a year later (Nov 2025) my belt was squeeking a lot in cold weather. They were able to diagnose and swap the belt to a new one within a day or so. No more squeeks in the cold mornings. The best part about exact is that its a mom and pop, locally owned shop that doesnt put you in a upsell, pressure environment. They tell you what you need, what you dont need, and what are nice to do but not urgent so you can make your choices for the best quote. I will be going to them for any future needs for my Lexus, and have been recommending them to my friends and family for the same purposes.

Sandy is very knowledgable on what type of maintenance is needed on a car. She always give you an option of using OEM or quality aftermarket parts, and provide quotes so you can compare and find what's best for your needs. One time I noticed my engine coolant reservoir to be completely empty. I emailed Sandy for advice, and she fit me in the next day and advised me to buy Toyota coolant and top it off before driving. After dropping off the car, they immediately found the radiator is cracked and needs to be replaced. They ordered parts and replaced the same day. They even help arranged a ride to a nearby car rental shop. They truly go above and beyond for their service. My first review was about replacing struts. I went with Sandy's recommendation of using aftermarket struts (KYB brand). 10 years later, I can positively vouch for her recommendations. The strut has held up well over time.

Mike at the front desk has always been super helpful. From my first car fresh out of high school to the 5+ vehicles i've owned since, there is no other shop I would trust for quite literally any service. Even minor things that I know I can do at home like alternators, batteries, oil changes, there's a level of comfort in bringing my car to Alvin's that no other shop can possibly give me. The pricing is fair for the immense value that you get. Mike will only ever order warranty parts for you unless agreed otherwise. I've seen warranty for parts range between 1-5 years. It gives you an extra level of comfort behind the price you pay for your repairs and maintenance. Alsoheir technicians are truly top notch. Many, many, many years in the industry. Mike has a great memory of his clients too. Not many shops have that level or care and attention. If any shop catches your attention for your next service, Alvin's should definitely be your first pick. You won't regret it.
