Our story
A Family Shop, Two Generations Deep
Ray's Garage & Performance is a family operation. Ray and his son work on every car that comes through the door, from routine oil changes to complex performance builds, and they take the time to walk you through what's actually going on under the hood.
We handle the full range: suspension work like spring installs, engine and drivetrain repairs including timing belts and water pumps, brake service, electrical fixes, and performance upgrades like short shift kits. If it's not something we do, we'll tell you straight.
Customers keep coming back because we explain the work, price it fairly, and get it done right the first time. Whether it's a daily driver or a project car, we treat it like our own.
- Family-owned, father and son team
- Foreign and domestic repair experience
- Performance upgrades alongside everyday maintenance
- Clear explanations before any work starts
What customers say
“I am pleased to say that Ray and his crew did a fantastic job on my car. They installed the springs with ease and professionalism, and my car was ready to fly. They seem to be a family owned shop with Ray and his son, and do a wide range of services and repair. Would gladly take my car again, and future cars.”
“You won't regret coming here. They'll make sure they explain everything and take their time answering all your questions. Honest mechanic and amazing customer service! Definitely won't go anywhere else!”
“Ray and Ric took care of my 2006 Mini Cooper. They got this car up and running back to normal. They've changed my hose intake, spark plugs, O2 sensor, brake pads, oil filter housing gasket, window regulator, and oil change. They are reliable and knowledgeable. Thank you!”
