If you are looking for an honest, knowledgeable, home town auto mechanic; look no further than 1st Performance Auto! The staff is fast, friendly and HONEST!! Been there a few times and always been satisfied with the service. Car repairs are never cheap but 1st Performance will not over charge like chain repair shops.
They listen and won't rip you off. My father had his own shop and this reminded me of him. I highly recommend this local business!!!

I brought in my 05’ Tacoma (210k miles) for a code thrown for O2 sensors. They diagnosed it and I needed two sensors replaced and both cadillic converters. I had the repairs done in two sessions due to my budget. Long story short, they got it all done, check engine light is gone. They gave me fair prices & were very honest. I am very satisfied with their service and highly recommend them!

Bob did a great job. Was having a hard time finding someone to work on my 66 Ford F250. He brought it in immediately knocked it out quickly and did a great job. I would highly recommend him if you have a classic car that needs attention. - Claude

I have a '72 beetle that needed an engine installed and some other overdue repairs. Rob took care of getting the beetle back on the road quickly and with excellent care. I will definitely be back for any future repairs. Definitely one of my top

My mom started coming here before I was even born, and now that I drive, I’m coming here too. They’re super reliable, friendly staff, and you wont be ripped off for stuff you don’t need! 🤣 This is the only mechanic in Orlando I will ever go to, I recommend them entirely! …

These guys not only saved me lots of money versus going to the dealership... They also pointed out extra repairs the dealership was suggesting which were not necessary. In other words, these guys prioritize service in the hopes that you return versus sticking you with a bunch of frivolous repairs and a bill you would have to finance to pay. Bonus points for working with Costco's auto program which saved me a little more off the top. Excellent business practices. I will be back for my next repair.

I have brought 2 of my classic trucks (56 and 58 Chevy trucks) to Rob and his team and both times they exceeded expectations! Always great work and great prices! Whenever I need work with my classics, this will always be my local go-to shop!

No complaints at all! We brought an SUV in for an air suspension problem that had been going on for years and we finally got it fixed/ converted over to springs, thanks to 1st performance! They were very upfront, friendly, and fast! The pricing was excellent as well! They stayed in contact throughout the entire time it was in their shop and they even got everything done the day before they said they'd have it done. All in all I would highly recommend this place! Thank you guys!

Needed an oil change and tire rotation on my 2019 Ford Explorer. Called Rob today at lunchtime to make an appointment for possibly next week. He said to bring it in now and they’ll take care of it. I drove up to the shop and I was in and out within 20 minutes. The service was fast, well done and and I was completely satisfied.
I have been here multiple times now for routine maintenance and they have always done a great job.
Would recommend him to anyone that needs an honest and professional repair or service.
Thanks Rob

Oil change

Robert and his team inspected and serviced a vehicle that sat idle for a year and a half. They got to work quickly made several minor repairs and did the work that was needed. I got the car back the next day. Prices were fair, service was great and the work was professionally done. I could not ask for more. I will definitely use them again.

Our car stopped on road and had to get car towed. We were greeted in a kind manner and were provided with exceptional service through out. They were able to advise us of a car recall and assisted us with detailed information. I would recommend them to friends and family!!

The guys were very helpful and came highly recommended by AAA. They worked on my son's 2018 Mustang GT, found him four new tires at a reasonable price, and took care of his oil change as well.
We were very appreciative of their efforts, quick service and customer service. Special thanks to Marty for taking care of us right away and answering all of our questions.

I brought my Infiniti in for a problem with the AC. They had it fixed within a day and is now blowing cold air! They were professional and let me know everything up front before making the repairs. I'll def be back!!!

Excellent and fast service. I called on a Friday after 3 p.m., and I was able to get in and have the issue I was having taken care of that day. Since I was there, I decided to have my oil changed also. I will definitely return.
- Ryan Young
Had my car towed to this shop by AAA on their recommendation today and I must admit, I was pretty nervous about it. Finding a repair place you can trust is a risky business! To my great relief, my experience could hardly have gone better. The repair was quick, reasonably priced, and through. The staff was friendly and the facility was clean and orderly. As my usual shop is located about 15 miles from where I live I will probably be stopping in here again the next time my car needs some attention.

I had my 1996 LT1 Corvette in for replacement of coolant lines, heater hoses, and a full coolant system flush, and Robert and staff were knowledgeable, professional, and did great work at a great price, especially on the tricky LT1 setup. Very happy, and will definitely return for future service needs! I highly recommend. Thank you Robert and staff!

I am quite familiar with how auto repair shops try to rip you off, I have several mechanics in my family while growing up. These guys are above board and honest. They have no idea how much automotive knowledge that I have. I have given them ample opportunity to try and rip me off if they were of the mind to, yet they have never tried to take advantage of me. As a result I recommend Rob and his shop to everyone including my children. An honest mechanic is a rare commodity these days.

Great friendly honest service, More than I expected from just getting a price quote for a tune up. I usually don't shop around much but was on a tight budget and am very happy with my choice. I have a 2000 Dodge Intrepid R/T and not many shops have domestic, imports and classic muscle cars being serviced 90% of time . When I spoke with rob I told him I only just want the tune up and nothing else he gave me a quote of $169.00 dollars which I thought was awsome considering the fact that i was getting prices like $289.00 dollars; packaged with other things i don't need from the other shops in the area . At this point rob and his certified technicians have earned my trust so I left my car to have the work done . They called me about 1hour and 30 minutes later and told me the vehicle was done. I went inside paid, and drove away. They did not hassle me or tell me my car would blow up if I did not get ….. done. It was actually a very pleasant experience; they even showed me the old parts that came off the car when I asked to see them . I would highly recommend them for any vehicle repair and maintenance they exceeded my expectation and earned my future bussiness .

Awesome professional help, dedicated guys who were knowledgeable and very nice. Had both my vehicles done there for different things and both times they came back like new for a reasonable price. The owner really cares about his business and clientele. 100% recommend!!

I took my car here to get the motor mechanism for my window replaced and to have my rear view mirror put back up. I had tried on five different occasions to put it up. They did not make me feel silly that I could not do such a simple task. I'm so glad there are still gentlemen out there that will give create to a women for trying. They were very professional and was swift in completing what I needed done. They were also very reasonable with what they charged. Thank you guys.

Awesome experience with some great people and truly gifted mechanics. They were able to diagnose and repair a squeaking sound on my Hyundai Sonata after the dealership at Universal Hyundai looked at it twice and couldn't figure out the issue. Needless to say I'll no longer be going to the dealership and instead take it to the pros at 1st Performance Automotive and have the job done right the first time around.

I set a reminder to review this place one year after I got my AC fixed in my 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. AC is still going strong. Good job. The price was much much much cheaper than what the dealership wanted.

1st performance automotive did an excellent job on my car . My car was terrible but they did a great job. Professional and very very nice people.. Did the job and got my car back on the same day which helped me out so much.. Thank you guys. U are the best.. I will definitely be back for any car problems..

Been coming here for a couple of years now. Service is always been great and reasonable prices. Had other mechanics before but First Performance it's the best of all. The owner of the shop has gone as far as giving us a ride home after our vehicle was not ready. Will be coming here for life most likely.

First Performance saved my car! My engine blew up on a major highway in north Florida. I had my car towed to a local dealership who wanted to charge me an arm and a leg to fix it. I get my car serviced at First Performance and called them to see about repairing it the engine. They said they could take care of getting my car back to Apopka and check it out to see what the problem is and what they needed to do to fix it. Unfortunately, I needed a new engine but I was FORTUNATE to have experienced people work on my car. The service was quick and efficient and I am driving an almost new car thanks to First Performance!!!
