I initially chose HG Performance upon seeing what other happy customers had to say. I had HG Performance install my CF side skirts and front splitter. Eddie has gone above and beyond in communicating, educating, and making sure you are more than satisfied with their service. In fact, the reason I ended up making the appt. was because of Eddie. Installation was completed in 4 hrs and the pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend HG Performance for any of your service needs. You won't be disappointed! Thank you to your TEAM for giving my car the final touches! I love the way they look!

Had them do a PPI, pre purchase vehicle inspection. I must say, we were beyond impressed, they were very thorough and took their time, gave us a lot of confidence purchasing the vehicle. Ask for Eddie, hes the man!

I can’t say enough great things about HG Performance. They have worked on my M4 and every single experience has been outstanding. From the quality of the work to the professionalism of the team, they truly operate at a different level. The car runs absolutely incredible, and you can immediately tell they know these platforms inside and out. The attention to detail, precision in their work, and commitment to doing things the right way really stand out. They don’t cut corners, and it shows in both performance and reliability. A huge shoutout to Omar, the owner, who is hands down one of the most knowledgeable and genuine people in the industry. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and makes sure you feel confident about the work being done. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and their cars. That level of involvement and passion is rare. If you’re looking for a shop you can truly trust with your M4 or any performance build, HG Performance is the place to go. The results speak for themselves, and I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else. Highly recommend. Thank you Omar!!!

Flawless install of Stage 1 Mountain Pass sport coilover kit and rear camber arm on my Tesla Model 3. Quick install and street alignment got me set up for some canyon drives. They are real pros who usually work on high end european/track cars, but are also the top Tesla suspension garage in north county. Thanks!

Anthony and the team at HG has been amazing to work with and they were very helpful. I enjoyed my experience with HG. They performed a series of upgrades and maintenance on my X3M and I am very stoked on how the car is performing.

Outstanding work on my MB. Replaced oil pump and ancillary parts. Did alignment and rides a lot smoother. Thanks and a shout out to Devin on customer service for his support.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We work on cars and SUVs of all makes and models, from Fiat to Ferrari. That includes European, Asian, American, and exotic vehicles. Available repairs, maintenance, and performance upgrades depend on the specific vehicle and the work requested.

HG Performance offers mechanical and electrical diagnostics, including check engine light concerns. A warning light can have different causes, so the light or a fault code alone does not establish which repair is needed. Contact us with your vehicle details and a description of what you have noticed.

Oil can leak from different parts of an engine, and the source needs to be identified before recommending a repair. HG Performance repairs engine oil leaks and performs valve cover gasket replacements. Tell us where you have noticed oil or any change in oil level when you contact us.

Yes, we offer mechanical diagnostics for overheating and coolant loss. Possible causes vary by vehicle; a symptom alone does not confirm a failed head gasket or any other specific part. HG Performance performs water pump replacements, and the appropriate repair depends on what is found with your vehicle.

Our services include engine and drivetrain oil services, brake pad and rotor service, wheel alignments, and tire mounting and balancing. We also offer manual transmission drain and fill services. Tell us your vehicle’s year, make, model, and the service you need so we can discuss its applicable options.

Yes. HG Performance offers pre-purchase inspections for cars and SUVs of all makes and models. Contact us before you buy with the vehicle details and your timing to ask about an appointment. The inspection scope depends on the vehicle and the service arranged.

We offer select suspension, wheel, tire, and brake upgrades for eligible vehicles. We also install Stage 1 CARB EO-approved ECU tunes where an approved option is available for the specific vehicle. We do not offer custom ECU tuning; upgrade availability varies by vehicle.

We can consider general maintenance requests for Tesla and other electric vehicles, including tires, brakes, alignments, and suspension work. The work we accept depends on the vehicle and service requested. We do not perform high-voltage maintenance or repairs.
