Automotive Performance and Restoration LLC - Bakersfield (CA)

5 /5 Javier Gonzalez: Anyone looking for great quality repairs this place is it. Ive known Alex for a couple of years, hes done work on my cars in the past and always does a great job. This guy knows his stuff, super professional and honest. Ive had AC work on my car and most recently had a steering column and suspension issue and Alex found the issue right away and did the repair and came out perfect. Definitely would recommend this place to everyone.

5 /5 Connor Carskaddon: Jasmine, the service advisor, was very efficient, polite and helpful. Alex, the mechanic, without a doubt knows cars and answered all my questions. I felt my car was in great hands, their pricing is fair and I recommend them to everyone whos looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable mechanic.

5 /5 Dinh Quy (QPilot): Skip to the bottom for the overviews of the Review. I would like to share my recent experience as a new customer seeking custom modifications for my vehicle. My initial inquiry was regarding an air suspension system, but after further consultation with the knowledgeable technicians, I opted for a custom muffler, pipe, exhaust, and resonator delete. I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and expertise displayed by the technicians. Despite my limited knowledge of car culture and my numerous questions, they consistently provided insightful answers and examples. Their honesty, educational approach, and understanding of my requests were greatly appreciated. I was usually given an extra 30-45min just to explain or show examples of the pro and con or just answering my questions. I am typically very selective about who I allow to work on my vehicle. However, from the moment I entered their establishment to inquire about a basic estimate for my initial plan of installing air suspension, I never felt as though they were solely interested in acquiring my money. Furthermore, I was under significant time constraints, with only two weeks to complete a substantial amount of work. They collaborated with me and even worked (almost 2 hours past closing) overtime to ensure that my vehicle was completed on schedule. Additionally, whenever the project exceeded their initial projections, they would promptly contact me, either by phone or text message, to provide updates and seek my approval. And even discount the cost when I didnt even ask which help me alot and even lyft ride to and back. I was genuinely surprised by their willingness to go above and beyond in these seemingly minor aspects. These small gestures greatly contributed to my trust in their expertise and professionalism, ultimately leading me to confidently recommend their services to my friends and family. In conclusion, I am highly satisfied with the outcomes of their work and the reasonable costs incurred. I would definitely consider them again for future projects. The scope of work performed over the five-day period includes: - Custom muffler installation and hardwiring. - Fabrication of a custom lobster cut exhaust pipe. - Assistance with additional fabrication for exhaust tip alignment. - Comprehensive system diagnostics. - Replacement of the engine thermostat. - Provision of detailed responses to numerous inquiries. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Quick Overview of the Review; • After consulting with knowledgeable technicians, I chose custom muffler, pipe, exhaust, and resonator delete instead of an air suspension system for my vehicle. • The technicians were professional, honest, and patient in answering my questions despite my limited car knowledge. • They prioritized my needs and worked overtime to complete the substantial work within my tight two-week deadline. • They kept me informed about any additional costs and even offered a discount without me asking. •Lyft service provided. • Their exceptional service and expertise have earned my trust, and I highly recommend them to others. • Im delighted with the outcome and will return for future projects.

5 /5 Angela Valentyn: I recently used Automotive Performance and Restoration for both of my cars. One needed A/C repairs and the other needed the thermostat replaced. The owner is so nice. They were very thorough, the repairs were done quickly and I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable they were. Plus they warranty their work. Ill definitely be using them from now on. Theyre also open on Saturdays, which is convenient for people who work during the week.

5 /5 Zach Lyons: 10/10 would recommend. They worked on my Range Rover and took care of the insurance side of things. Jasmine even drove out of town to get some parts which helped me on my rental time. Im glad I was referred to them!
