Performance Auto Care

Hours: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday though Friday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday 1251 South, MI 48186 Westland Difficult to find, but not impossible, because you can find Performance Auto Care at: 1251 South Wayne Road in Westland. -- a repair shop you can depend on to get your car back on the road in the shortest time."Usually in one day,"said owner Wayne Whitehouse, an auto technician for 20 years. Performance Auto Care runs a full-service repair shop, offering everything from routine maintenance to major engine work for individuals, corporate fleets, and many new and used car dealers."When you need a car repair or maintenance, the first thing you need is experienced technicians that offer quality customer service at reasonable prices,"Wayne said. While working for others, Wayne recognized the lack of customer care and professional service at some repair shops."I've heard it all,"he said."Customers often tell me about being over charged or scared into authorizing repairs that weren't necessary."So when he opened Performance Auto Care in 1999, he began working hard to please his customers."One of my goals is to offer service and prices beyond customers ; expectations,"he said. To prove it, Performance Auto stands behind its work by offering 12, 000-mile 12 month warrantees and by offering the best price in town."We will beat any shop's written estimate,"he said. Other customer benefits include towing, detailing, Saturday hours, a shuttle service, senior discounts, manufactures' leased car maintenance packages, and free maintenance and safety inspections ( no purchase necessary ). The formula worked. Performance Auto became so busy so quickly that in October 2000 the company had to move to a larger shop with more equipment and a larger waiting room to accommodate new and repeat customers. When Performance Auto moved, it stayed in Westland, Wayne's hometown."Working in my hometown makes a difference to me,"said Wayne. More comfortable with people who are literally his neighbors, Wayne feels more driven to server them right because Westland residents are old high school buddies, family, neighbors, and people he runs into at the grocery store or in lines at his bank.
