Charles at K&A Performance is my go-to for all my vehicle maintenance and repairs. I bring him everything from the regular stuff on my Toyota RAV4 to bigger work on my Ford F250, and he’s always taken care of it. What I really like is how honest and transparent the guy is. He uses this app that breaks everything down — parts, labor, the whole cost — and keeps you updated the whole time on what’s going on. No surprises or pressure, just straight talk. And the work is always quality. My trucks and cars always run better after I pick them up. If you’re looking for a trustworthy mechanic around here, go see Charles. One of the best I’ve dealt with. Highly recommend!

Charles was professional and friendly and honest. Did an amazing job for an extremely fair price and will be the only mechanic I use for now.

10/10 highly recommend. I had work done here by Charles on my van, he has the best prices out of all the shops I reached out to. He was very communicative and actually spoke to me and explained things to where I could understand bc mechanic talk is not my language. He got my vehicle done in the timeframe provided which I’m beyond grateful for. I definitely plan to return for all of my vehicle repairs and maintenance. I’ve already been telling people this is where they need to come for car service bc he doesn’t look at you like a number but an actual lifelong customer.

I appreciate feeling at ease when I went here! It's hard being a female and going to an auto shop! I was told what was wrong, and an explanation of what my price was. There's something to be said for honest work. I definitely will come back if I need any work again!

Very reliable and did an awesome job fixing my car. And very fast. Prices are great too. A Family business, so they do what they say they will do. And don't try to push to fix something that doesn't need repairs. For someone that knows nothing about cars, that was very important to me.

A great mechanic and even better people. They helped me resolve an electrical issue with my Ram 1500. The work was done professionally quickly and very reasonably. This will definitely be where all my future repairs are done!

This shop is hands down the best in Cleveland County! Charles is very professional, communicative, transparent and very fair with his prices! He replaced the lifters in my 2019 Ram 1500 and now is good as new! Will be brining all my vehicles back to this shop and recommending all friends and family to K&A. Deal with confidence!
