I have been taking my vehicle’s to Doug for about 10 years now. He is the only guy I trust in the area. He handled a rust issue on the frame of my truck and took care of that back in 2014.He has taken care of my truck since then with normal maintenance that needs to be done .He has taken care of other vehicles in my family as well.

Doug, owner of Performance Automotive was recommended to me, relative to my 2011 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited, in July, 2019 by a member of a Reno 4x4 group. I am so thankful for that recommendation. The shop has been very responsive to all the various work I've needed and wanted done on my jeep, from routine maintenance, upkeep, mechanical repair and enhancement with additions to my jeep.Doug is thorough, honest, affordable, trustworthy and focused on the best outcome for the vehicle. The "enhancement" ideas/desires I have for my jeep are emplemented with his thoughtful enhancements of my ideas.With Performance Automotive's upkeep and enhancement of my jeep, I would not even contemplate having any other shop work on my jeep.I give Performance Automotive, Doug and his staff the highest rating available

Totally a farce operation just stay hole in the wall outfit that doesn't seem to want to make any money, the place right next door though is an amazing place to look for automotive help.

I had these guys tune the carb on my 64 impala they got it done fast and properly ! Also fixed an oil leak while they were at it. Cost wasn’t bad turnaround time was great with great attention to detail. I’m only bringing my ride to these guys from now on.

I was referred to Doug, I was looking for someone to diagnose an engine that I had someone else build. Doug did some diagnostics on the engine and found numerous problems with the way the motor was put together. We came up with an agreed target build and he got started in fixing the other guys inexperience, which included correctly timing the cam, new higher compression pistons and some decking on the block. Now that its running and broke in we will do a final tune and get it running at its optimum level. Doug has treated me with honesty and fairness. I highly recommend him for your performance needs on your street rod. Thanks Performance Automotive and Motorsports.

He totally tried to take advantage of my daughter. Asked to diagnose her car. Charged her extra time checking compression when the problem was a injector he had to take off before that. Then wanted to charge $250 for 2 bad injectors, (only 1 was bad) when you can get these for $60 at Napa and wanted to charge $500 in labor when it takes 15 minutes to fix.

He rebuilt a Rambler V8 for a friend , who ended up selling it to me. He built a very sturdy shipping pallet AND wrapped the engine and trans. It made it from Sparks to Charleston SC in perfect condition.. AND the engine looks fabulous..

Doug is Awesome! I had a wet dog smell in my car whenerver I turned on my AC or heater. It had been there since I purchased the car. He quickly found the problem, which no mechanic prior had, and fixed it in no time. If that weren't enough, when he drove my car the few feet into the shop he noticed a noise in the back end. He asked how long it had been there. I told him I hadn't heard it. My ears are often plugged up and my hearing in my right ear is not up to par. Doug crawled under my car and discovered that part of my axel is in need of replacement. Funny thing is that the car was just at the auto body shop and nothing was mentioned. I guess Doug has much better ears. I have since heard the bang he heard. Thank goodness for Doug's keen ears or I could need body repair. Currently Doug is sourcing the part and said it's safe to drive in the meantime. I will definitely go to Performance Automotive for all my auto care, including oil change, and HIGHLY recommend them to all I know.

I walked in off the street with a bizarre meter problem and met Doug Furgason. He stopped what he was doing to provide some advice. Offered to see if he could help me modify one of the parts I had brought in later that day and I left. Before I was able to get 1/2 mile away, Doug called my cell phone and told me he had found a part that would help. I returned and sure enough - he had found exactly what I needed to get my 73 corvette back on the road. The problem had me baffled for a week when Doug found a way to help. My thanks to Doug Furgason and his creativity.
