History

Established in 2006.

T & A Performance LLC began operation in 2006 when Tim Anderson was repeatedly being asked to help friends and family members when they were unable to locate a mechanic they could count on for honesty, fairness and knowledge about the vehicles they were driving. Using his garage as home base Tim set up his mobile mechanics business while continuing to work full time for a local municipality. Tim had attained his ASE Master Level Certifications in both Automotive and Medium/Heavy Duty Trucks. He is also Factory Ford Certified, Harley Davidson and BMW factory motorcycle accredited. Tim attended and passed the Northern Nevada Police Motor Enforcement Training. He has attained his ASE Advanced Level Certification in Electronic Diesel Engine Diagnosis and Pasts Specialist too. When budget cuts hit the municipality he decided to venture out on his own and open T & A Performance full time from its current location at 525 Spice Island Dr. in Sparks, NV on March 31, 2011.

I would like to give T and A the best rating! I towed my truck from Tracy CA (205 miles away) to have work done to my F250. They did an ATS tranny, coolant flush, oil cooler upgrade, lighting and install.
Hands down best service and quick turnaround on getting the job done. The pricing and rates were fair and worth every penny.
@ btw Paul is the best person to work with! Oh and the techs are awesome too!
I’m defiantly NEVER going anywhere else.
Thanks,
–Ian

HONEST and FAIR. Last week I had some tire work done by another company and was told I had a head gasket leaking. Since I have had a previous good experience with T&A I choose to take the truck back to them. Though I was expecting an expensive repair, that was not the result. I was extremely happy that what they found was a very simple fix from a previous repair and that I didn’t need the head gasket repaired. In fact I wasn’t charged for anything. Noting an early review that a Unilocaler felt he was taken advantage of, I would have to say that in this case, where they could have but didn’t and did the right thing, that is worthy of my business.

I was visiting my home town reno from Vegas and I ended up getting stuck in Reno for a couple of days due to my truck taking a crap. Tim and Paul bent over backwards to get me home to my wife. And to top it off not only did they fix my truck it runs better then it did before. It’s badder then before. Best Diesel shop in town.
Thanks from Kevin

I wish to thank the T&A Performance team. I have an infamous Ford 6.0 which had major overheating and power problems while pulling my 15,000 lb 5^th wheel while on our vacation. I could not get over 20mph on any hill without the truck oil and engine getting too hot.
Tim spent and hour with me on a Saturday after I emailed him on my problems with the truck. Paul and Tim walked me through their recommendations after their diagnostics and showed my examples of the issues they have successfully fixed with other 6.0’s.
My fears that I did not have enough truck to pull my 5^th wheel quickly faded after picking up the truck. Wow, for the 1^st time I could feel and see the turbo working and have driven the 5^th wheel over 1,200 miles now including up the grades out of Salt Lake and the 8,640 grade out of Laramie Wy. No further overheating of the oil cooler, engine cooler, or EGR cooler. This truck stays well within temp range through-out.
Plus I am now going up these grades at 50 – 60 mph and when needed, I have power to pass other vehicles going uphill.
This 6.0 with T&A Performance improvements is an awesome truck. Thank you T&A Performance!!! You saved our vacation trip across the USA and saved this truck.

I drive a dodge sprinter 2004 2500 and I came to this shop with «boost issues» because after calling 10 diesel mechanics, they were the first shop in the Reno area that would even look at it. They wanted over $ 200 just to read the codes! Found one thing that might cause a boost issue, but insisted on fixing 4 other things I could have fixed myself. The one thing I couldn’t fix was a bad fuel injector, and they used some kind of crane/wench to remove it (unorthodox). When I finally got the van back a full week later the charge was $ 1200.00 and the boost issue was still happening. To replace a fuel filter which is $ 60 from autozone and only takes me 30 minutes to replace, took them 1.2 hours? At no point did they look at the turbo resonator, and one Google search confirmed it was a common issue with my van. One look from underneath I could see a crack in the plastic weld. Furthermore, they left my air filter case open and within a day it was totally clogged with dirt, also there was a 2 inch gash cut into the intercooler charge hose, which I’m pretty sure they caused while yanking out my injector. So I ended up needing a new hose and a new air filter.
Overall, I feel like I was taken advantage of. What’s worse, is RJ gave me a 30 minute dogmatic lecture about my van when I picked it up which really pissed me off. I’m not a mechanic but I’m not afraid to work on cars, and I do regular oil and filter changes whenever they’re needed. I know how long certain fixes should take and these guys are definitely playing the «you’re not a mechanic and you don’t know» card and padding their hours.
I’ve since taken my van to another mechanic who is not only nice to me, but isn’t ripping me off.

So happy to find this shop that knows my engine. I have repaired the same IPR failure at 2 shops (one being a Ford Dealer). These guys found the problem and solved it!

I would give the team at T & A, 5 stars for diesel repairs. They are top notch, they can up grade your rig from mild to wild ! quick and all repairs done right. I don’t trust any other repair shop with my F-350, 6.0 liter. The owner is a genius with anything diesel an has made custom parts for those of you who have the D E F tanks lower than the frame. So when your rig is sick go an see them.
