I was recommend to APC from a friend. I had an oil pan bolt that seemingly was stripped from the previous Audi Exchange Dealership as the bolt was not turning easily. I was afraid it was going to be a few thousand dollars to repair as the only fix would be to replace the oil pan on my R8. I took it to Chris at APC, he carefully explored the threads, noticed some small shavings which had been caught in them, rethreaded it, and $150 later my issue was no longer. These guys are professional, and know what they are doing. Highly recommend and trust them.Update:My second visit to APC was this morning 6-14-23. My review for today is all about the great customer service at the front desk. My guy (Bert I believe) was great, and in addition I was listening to others handling their customers while in the waiting room, and was thoroughly impressed. 5 stars!Service: Auto maintenance

APC consistently delivers quality work in the timeframe and estimate they promise. Chris and his team understand the importance of outstanding customer service which also sets them apart. I've been taking my vehicles here for the past 15 years due to the quality of work, honesty and amazing customer service they provide.Services: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, BrakesServices: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Brakes

I had used a pre-purchase inspection service from them in 2022 and they give me a great report in a timely manner and the mechanics for great people really nice to talk to him very knowledgeable and understanding. So I took my car back again for a repair in January 2023 and same great service timely service great rate good guys all-around to work with for sure on my Porsche. I was recommended this place by a fellow Porsche owner and this is a great spot in lieu of the stealership. Definitely will go back again for oil changes or anything I might need for my Porsche. They even accepted my car warranty plan for repairs.

Been hearing amazing things about this place for years but have always had leased cars or car under warranty. Decided I hate my local dealership and needed an oil change. Got a quote WAAAAY less then the dealership so I chose APC. Staff was amazing and very engaging in conversation.

Can't say enough good about this place. Great work, great team, easy to work with, fast, fair, and friendly. I even like the comfortable waiting area (comfy lounge chairs and NO television). Bring a book, take a load off, relax, and let the experts do a great job on your car.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, BatteryServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Battery

Had a minor issue with my Porsche 911S. Good friend recommended I try this place out after my local Porsche dealer quoted me an outrageous price for simple repair. VERY glad i did. Chris and company were fantastic in every way. Saved a bundle of money and received outstanding service . No way i could be any happier and definitely a 5 star facility . Arlington Performance will be "my shop" going forward for anything i need done on my Porsche. Big thank you to Chris and his entire crewService: General repairs & maintenance

Chris, Mike and the Crew were awesome!!!I appreciate the honest quick service.Rolled in with a sporadic start issue... Immediately diagnosed failed battery and corrosion on positive battery terminal, then discovered a faulty crank position sensor, replaced the sensor and car was running again without a hitch.I couldn't be happier with honest and fair service.Thank you again!Your new neighbor in Arlington Heights.

My experience with Arlington Performance is mixed. They do very good work and also press you to do very expensive repairs without regard for the age/value of your car. I recently took an older SUV in for service; the car, while in good overall condition, is worth perhaps $7,000. I was told it needed to have two gaskets replaced due to oil leaks (which have not caused even one drop of oil on my driveway). They also recommended (since the engine was apart) that I also replace the timing chain and do various other front suspension repairs (which were not safety related). With the needed routine maintenance, the total came roughly $5,000.The AP service salesman pressed me pretty hard to do these repairs. But given the value of the car I decided to get a second opinion. So I took it back to the dealer from which it was purchased. After an extensive review with the service manager, we decided to do only routine maintenance with the understanding that we will employ watchful waiting on the leaks and timing chain. Total bill was $700 with a 10% discount.So, while AP may/may not have been correct in their full diagnosis, their focus was on doing repairs, not on helping a (now former) customer make a sound economic decision. It s been a week or so since this experience and I share it so that others can be aware; and perhaps pause before ponying up for thousands in repair costs that may long outlive their vehicle.

This was my first time taking my Porsche 911 to APC. I can't say enough about what great service and professionalism they offer! Chris and CJ were awesome! This issue turned out to be a minor one, and they were 100% honest and told me exactly what was wrong. I've used Porsche dealerships a few times in past years and will NEVER do that again. The shop is immaculately clean and very nice inside! First-class all the way! I will be using them for all my future repairs with this car and also my Cayenne!Service: Auto engine diagnostic

My car died three days before I planned to move... unexpected stress in an already stressful time. I emailed APC and got a prompt response to set up an appointment! When my car died AGAIN the next day, they got me in early and even provided me with tow truck information in case I needed it.Chris and the rest of the Arlington Performance team made this whole process so easy and smooth, and pricing was more than reasonable. Not only will I continue to work with them, I ve already told my family in the area that if they need their car worked on, this is the place to go!Services: Electrical repair, Electrical, Battery, Oil change

I was very pleased with all of the automotive work that I had performed at Arlington Performance. Everyone who works there is polite and professional and our representative Jimmy tried his very best to keep us thoroughly informed and satisfied during the whole process. Most importantly, they really know how to fix cars well, both foreign and domestic and they do it with integrity. I highly recommend their services.

These guys are great. We love working with Jimmy and everyone else there. Our family trust him explicitly! Anytime we have had an issue with our cars he has come to the rescue. Whether it s something small or big he is willing to take the time to help us out. I wouldn t go anywhere else and most definitely would recommend them to anyone looking for auto services.

They did a PPI (Porsche Pre-Inspection) on a 2008 Cayenne GTS that I was looking to purchase. I dealt with CJ who was the ultimate professional. He was very knowledgeable, patient, easy to work with and followed up as he had promised he would. My experience with CJ and this team was so good, that after I decided to go ahead with the purchase of the vehicle, that I used them for a couple of minor repairs prior to the car being shipped to me. I wish that that I had a mechanic like them close to where I live.Highly recommended!!!Service: Engine repair

This place is great! While no one wants to have issues with their vehicles, Arlington Performance Center actually makes it an enjoyable experience. They sent an inspection report with pictures on their findings. I ve never had an auto repair shop be so transparent.Staff there were extremely friendly and calmly answer all your questions. Jimmy answered all my questions and took the time to go into great detail.If you re in the northwest suburbs (or anywhere for that matter), I ll go out of my way to take my car here for any repairs!

I am so grateful to the team at Arlington Performance Center. They were determined to fix a problem that even the Volvo dealer was unable to repair. They were fair, honest, quick to explain in detail what they planned to do. And most importantly successful in delivering what they promised! Thank you so much, Chris, CJ and the team..Service: Electrical repair

Mark, Chris and the team over there are phenomenal. While they specialize in foreign cars, they have worked on my domestics for years and done a great job. They stand behind their work, are clear from the beginning and I trust them completely. Nice to have someone you don't have to worry about trying to take advantage of you and I'd recommend them highly!

My grandpa has been coming here years. And now I will as well!Here is a reflection of my experience so far with Chris and Jimmy.I went over a big pothole and blew up one of my tires. A month later I realized there were more problems. It was driving very odd and one of my tires on the opposite side went bald out of no where. I brought to one place that looked for about 30 minutes and told me it was suspension problems and quoted me. I brought it here for a second opinion. They spent days checking and rechecking to make sure they have identified all the problems for me. I trust their judgment. They have been amazingly thorough with inspecting my vehicle! What I also appreciate is the patience they have with all my questions, even when I ask the same questions multiple times for reassurance. Very good at calling me to keep me updated on what they are finding with my vehicle. I needed a lot of repairs and do have all the money for everything, but it would be easier to wait for some things. . Instead of worrying about getting money from me, and insisting everything is an immediate issue, they helped me prioritize the problems. They told me what I need done to get back to driving, and what I can wait a month or so for. My car will be done Monday or wednesday next week and I could not be happier. I have been without a car for 2 months and it has been hard. Very pleased that I was referred here and that I will be able to get back to driving. Very honest, trustworthy shop with good mechanics.
