I found him to be arrogant, testy, incompetent and most unhelpful. A snotty crook. I brought my quad in with a starter problem. He estimated $ 350. When I paid and picked it up as «ready» it still wouldn’t start, I most diplomatically phoned him so. He blew up that $ 350 wasn’t enough so he did unrelated, unauthorized work on it. and how dare I not appreciate it.

Great first experience with Performance! Brought in 2 sets of rims with my new tires for installation(unannounced) and even though he obviously has plenty of work, he offered same-day service for a very reasonable price(I did not need them that quickly, picked up next day). Super friendly guy. It’s worth dropping by just see the 50+ crazy old bikes– BSA’s, Norton’s, old Honda 50’s and Dreams, not 1 but 2 Ural’s!

This guy knows motorcycles. I no longer take my bike to the dealer and will prefer to wait. The fact is there is a long wait to get your motorcycle fixed. Why? Because its done right and at a very reasonable cost so they have an enormous backlog. My bike broke down near South Sacramento within two miles of the dealer and I took the time and cost to take it up to this shop. John’s expertise is evident by the fact the shop is loaded with vintage motorcycles that were taken their for restoration. John takes the time to explain the repair and how he came up with the costs which I found is generally 30 percent less than the Kawasaki dealers in Sacramento. Trust no one else with my machine. Its a little off the beaten path and in the hills but it will be done right. I highly recommend this place.

John has been doing mc work on all my bikes for over 20 years, very knowledgeable, reasonably priced. John and his son run a great shop, highly recommended. Lee in Shingle Springs, CA

They either blew me off because I’m a woman or they truly are so busy they don’t need my business. «Can’t talk to you now, bring your bike in» was the advice I got when I called.
