Chris and the crew at Performance always strive to give the best service.
They never try to sell you additional services you don't need and stand behind their work. I take all three of my Volvo's there and am always satisfied

I moved to Wilmington a short while ago. In the past I have encountered many shops where bogus repairs and upselling were the norm. I was pleasantly surprised when PAS did my oil change at 150,000 miles and appended to my receipt a list of manufacturer's recommended maintenance items, complete with the cost to do them. Since I am on a tight budget, knowing in advance what these items will cost is helpful in planning. I'll be back, prepared to do the maintenance a the next oil change.

After some initial bad experiences, I really wasn't sure I would ever take my car back here... but, I'm so glad I did! No heat, no a/c, and misty fog entering the cabin when I tried to defrost the windshield. I really didn't know where to turn. I talked to Chris and we made the necessary arrangements. Once the parts were in, the turn around time was fast! The job was well done. The price was fair. And they treated me with respect! What more could I ask for? Thank you!!

I scheduled an appointment with PAS of Wilmington for an auto transmission leak. They gave my 2002 Porsche Carrera a full diagnosis and discovered a leaking oil spout to intake. This problem had never been diagnosed at the dealer after numerous attempts as why it kept throwing codes. They repaired it and fixed the transmission leak. I’ll be back for my next service.

I’ve been using these guys for several years. They got me in for an inspection recently for my new car, and the customer service is great as always. Also their bathroom was clean, and the aquarium is so beautiful in the waiting room.

These guys are amazing. They CARE about your problem, and they talk to you. They treat the car as if it's their own, and I always feel that I'm paying what I should be paying.
Definitely take your car here over the BMW place if it's for anything other than warranty stuff.

The dealership had recommended brakes and rotors to be replaced a year ago.
Since they were not giving me any “warning” signs, I said I would wait until I had some warning signs because they told me they had to replace brake pads and rotors (front and back) regardless of looking at rotors. They “always replace rotors and brake pads together.”
Several months later, I started to get the brake warning and a friend recommended PAS. I setup an appointment for brake inspection and they only had to replace front set. Saved me several hundred dollars and brakes were not replaced prematurely,
