Metro Performance

After speaking with the owner Danny over a roughly 47 minute phone call, where a huge number of my concerns as well as goals were clearly reviewed, I was pretty much sold on the idea that I had discovered the right place for aftermarket work on my STi. After arriving to the facility to drop my vehicle off for the first time and meeting Danny and his team, my confidence was confirmed.
I had been communicating back and forth with several of SoCal’s reputable Subaru tuners prior to ever having heard about Metro Performance. There were a couple good candidates on the tuning roster, but I couldn’t find that solid feeling of confidence with either of them, primarily due to a lack of what I consider to be a reasonable stream of communication.
Modifying these vehicles to do what they do is not a cheap hobby, so communication is key, and Danny understands this well. Metro Performance seems to have it all under wraps. They have an indomitable combined team history specializing in the Subaru brand and are well known for their mega horsepower machines. They do everything in-​house so next to nothing needs to be outsourced. Motors, transmissions, custom fabrication, etc. That kind of capability speaks volumes about a shop’s potential. Needless to say, my initial modification goals were, without a doubt, a simple walk in the park for them.
Through phone and email, Danny did a fantastic job of keeping my non-​stop questions answered as well as keeping me informed of updates during my car’s stay at their facility. He simply knows how to treat customers the way they should be treated. Sean, their in-​house tuner, is bursting at the seams with passion and knowledge about what he does. He leaps at the opportunity to respond to your questions and concerns. Danny’s father, Danny Sr, performs a lot of magical wrenching in the background and gives off the most heartwarming and friendly vibe from a mechanic I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Across their team, you experience an overwhelming sense of comfort and satisfaction that you’re being taken care of and everything being done to your car could not be done better. These guys simply love what they do, and they must seek great satisfaction in creating the best possible outcome for you. To top it all off, Danny’s pricing was very competitive when stacked against the quotes provided by other reputable tuners.
My only complaint about Metro Performance is that their business is located in Murrieta, which is an hour’s drive for me. Despite this, I will not hesitate to revisit them for any of my STi’s parts installation and tuning needs.

I must say Danny and the Metro Team are great. Thanks for a solid tune on E85 and a really good experience. I really should have just came here first to people that have been doing this forever!
MY car is not the same. It is a lot faster and smother!
Great work here and thank you!

Awesome automotive shop! Specializing in Subaru and more, these guys here are helpful, knowledgeable, and really want to get your vehicle where you want it to be. If it’s a tune, full build, or just a Schaeffers oil change, this is the place to take you ride! Call ahead and speak with Danny, they have 30 years experience.

I trust this outfit. For me that says it all. Thanks for servicing my 2007 Subaru.

Came in here with a rebuilt turbo that I wanted to put into my 08 WRX. One look and they said it was crap, and I gladly took their advice since a blown motor is something I want to avoid! Ended up spending a lot to get the turbo I wanted, but Danny really helped me out by lowering the labor costs and he did an awesome job! If I have ANY other problems with the car, this will be my first stop for sure. Highly recommended!

Ive been through a rough patch with my subaru the past year. Dan and Monica really got me back on track and took the time to educate me. They’ve done a great job on my car and I feel like a secure customer.

Dan, Danny, and the whole Metro Performance crew are top notch. They take the time to do things right the first time. Their work is top notch and speaks for itself. I have had the pleasure of dealing with Danny who is the one of the most honest and upfront specialist I have ever worked with. Metro surpassed any and every expectation I had.
Whether you are fully built, or have no idea what that means, Bring your Subaru to Metro Performance and let them impress you with their quality craftsmanship and service.

Granted i’ve only been in here once, but i couldn’t have left more impressed. I had been to 3 different mechanics for a power steering issue, and all of them couldn’t figure out the problem. I took it here, the mechanic instantly knew what the issue was and had me on my way in 15 minutes. He even explained it all to me as he was doing it, explaining why non-​subaru specialists have difficulty diagnosing this problem (it’s just a weird quirk of this particular subaru).
Highly Recommend!

Amazing service and wonderful to do business with.
The folks at Metro Suburban (Dan and Monica) are very friendly and knowledgeable. Not only are they an independent service and repair facility for Subarus, they also wont hesitate to send you to another garage that specializes in say, bodywork just to save you money. Support’n local businesses, gotta love that!
These are good people. That’s hard to come by nowadays. They have earned my repeat business.

Great service shop. They can do anything from an oil change to a transmission rebuild. And they do it extremely well.
I brought my car in for a transmission leak. The car was quickly diagnosed and repaired. It turns out my transmission is not in very good shape from some work done previously to when I owned, so it will need to be replaced.
Every time I need work done on any of my cars (Miata, Scion, Forester) I go to Metro Suburban.
