Barbershop Performance

Having an automotive mechanic’s background, I generally don’t trust anyone’s wrenching but my own. I’ve been building motors and transmissions since before I weighed enough to torque down an axle nut. Anyway, you see where I’m going with this. I heard about Barbershop Performance from several reputable sources, and though out of my area; it was worth the drive.
I did a rare motor swap on my vehicle and it needed something I or any local guys I’ve spoken with have no expertise in, tuning. I spoke mostly with Chad and Art, let me tell you both of these gentlemen know their stuff. If you know a bit about cars you can usually tell when the person you’re «talkin’ shop» with is on the same page. No doubt in my mind these boys have more experience than any specialized shop in the bay area.
Friendly and accommodating staff with knowledgeable service, you don’t find that in most shops. I was very happy with the effort put forth on my vehicle, and it is nice knowing there is someone with the rare skill of proper tuning around.
I also spoke with Rich for a while, he does fiberglass work, pretty much anything you can think of. I’ve never seen someone able to lay glass by hand and yield the results his projects do. Everything looked like it was injection molded ABS. Impressiveto say the least.
Altogether a great experience, I highly recommend Barbershop Performance for ANY vehicle need.

When it comes to auto repair shops, I get extremely antsy in deciding where to go and who to trust to do a good job.
I finally got enough money together to get a rebuild done on my K20A2 engine out of an Acura RSX and, due to a friend’s recommendation, decided to give Chad, the proprietor, a visit to get me fixed up and running.
Chad and his crew are really knowledgeable about the work they do on Hondas. Straight out the gate, I knew this guy knew what he was talking about and throughout the entire rebuild process, gave me assurance that my car would be up and running again. On top of that, he picked up and delivered my car from a good 70 miles away from where his shop is located. That’s good customer service right there.
The only thing that really bothered me was the much delayed ETA times. I kept having to wait and wait to come my car. This is a busy shop so my recommendation is to not expect to get anything done quickly, but instead done well.
