I have never had a better experience with car repairs. I will never take my vehicle anywhere else but here. I called them about a month ago to get a quote on my car and Karla researched it and gave me a quote that was well below anywhere else in town. Since I couldn't afford it right away, she saved my information and when I finally had the money to bring my car in, they fit me into their schedule right away. The towing company I hired ended up taking my car to the wrong place and causing so much hassle, especially because money was already tight. The owner of Maztech, Chuck, called me personally and told me he would get my car to his place, and later that day my car was at Maztech. They told me it would be finished Tuesday and Monday afternoon I got a call saying my car was done. They stayed within the quoted price and my car is running like a dream now. I have never had a business treat me as well as they did. They made my car a priority and got me back on the road as soon as they can. They are some of the best people in the car industry and I 100% recommend their services to anyone and everyone. Fantastic job.

Traveling across the county and stopped in ft collins. Needed a couple of things done on the truck, and rob and Peter did everything necessary to help me out. Turned out great and the bill came out to less than I expected. To top it off, rob brought my girlfriend and me back to downtown ft collins while I was waiting for the truck to be worked on!

Really glad you had a great experience here, Danny, and thanks for the nice review!

I love this shop. As a woman it's often the case that prices suddenly double and things that were never broken need replacing. But not with these guys. They're an honest family run business local to Fort Collins. They give me straight answers and fair prices. I'm so glad I found their business. Oh they'll also give you a ride to work if you have to drop your car off with them!

Thanks for the kind words, Allison! We're aware of the questionable reputation that repair shops sometimes get, and we work hard to eliminate that from our business!

Thank you all so much for getting me back on the road yesterday. You connected me with a great tow company that hauled me to your shop in record time. I was in and out and back on the road in under two hours. You all helped make what could have been a miserable day into a minor inconvenience. Thanks again!

Rachel, thanks for the great review and we are as happy as you are that it all went smoothly!

Excellent service, above and beyond the call of duty. We've had two repairs done here, both urgent and done in a timely manner. The owners value a good client relationship over a quick payment.

Debbie, thank you for your kind review!

UPDATE: In response to Rob's delightfully snide reply that my "Mr. Childs 25 year old 1989 Mercury Tracer was repaired each time as he requested. We had no way of knowing the age of any parts on his car or their current condition, and we replaced only what was needed." Why did I pay for diagnostics if not for that reason? Why not mention this well into the process?! It wasn't as if this was my first, second, third, fourth fifth, or tenth visit. I was loyal because I trusted their assurances they could help keep my car running. It had less than a 100,000 miles. It wasn't as if I demanded they fix it, but collaboratively asked what it would take and IF it was worth it. And I was repeatedly assured that yes it was. Why else would I keep coming back and spend thousands of dollars on what became a money pit? I would've moved on to another car. Overheated to the point of melting my radiator? I driven for 15 minutes on my commute to loveland, and yet of course it had nothing to do with the coolant issues, only to be stranded. Backstory: I had multiple issues with my car which ended with an overheating which left me stranded on I-25, and a permanently dead car. Why? Well the piecemeal fixing of my car. It started well back with brake overhaul. Starter. I had a the waterpump replaced. Fine. I had the radiator replaced. Fine. But why none of the coolant hoses? One burst. Fine. But did they replace both? No, just one. So I am stranded and overheated off the side of the freeway missing work. Again, another bursts, I am stranded again and another coolant hose was replaced. I used all my Triple-A tows within several months because of this. A year's worth. And like an idiot I kept coming back. I had previously had belt issues, which were not properly adjusted, leaving my battery dead in the heart of winter. I had them replace the valve covers of my engine, oil changes, water pump, brake work beyond pads and a mystery acceleration issues. I had literally spent thousands there under the assurance that the little 1989 Tracer, which had not seen 100,000 miles, would see another. All from October 2013, to now. I trusted them. In for penny, in for a pound, ya know? This resultant overheating, and replacement piecemeal, of my car's radiator and coolant hoses caused my engine to die. Rather than admit any culpability when again it overheated and coolant smoke was pouring out of my car, and again I was stranded? They forced me to pay for my tow and informed me my car was now functionally dead. They were almost antagonistic. It wasn't as if I was a stranger. They'd seen me quite regularly. They even admitted the heat stress likely caused it to die. I will never do business with them and encourage you not to as well. Cheaper is not always better and if my car had been fixed initially, or even on the second visit, likely the head gasket which cracked would be in better shape. I am beyond disappointed in their behavior towards me, especially when I, and my sister, spent thousands (on the same car) only to have the car last a few months. Thankfully social media will allow me to share this opinion.

From the work order of 12/12/13: "Any repair to the cooling system such as water pump, radiator,or hose leaks can result in low water pressure becoming a normal higher pressure. The resulting normal pressure can cause existing weak spots which may have not leaked before to start leaking". Mr. Childs experienced a leak to his radiator subsequent to the water pump being replaced , then the upper radiator hose and then and a then a heater hose. Repeated overheating and/or normal pressures can then lead to a head gasket leak. Mr. Childs 25 year old 1989 Mercury Tracer was repaired each time as he requested. We had no way of knowing the age of any parts on his car or their current condition, and we replaced only what was needed. Mr. Childs neglects to mention that the car had been over heated to such a degree that the new radiator installed three months earlier had partially melted due to being massively over heated. The age and quality of the vehicle are not Performance Tune's fault and Mr. Childs was informed, in writing, that there was the possibility of additional repairs. Things happen to very old vehicles due to age and we are unable to predict them. If we fail in a repair or install a substandard part we own up to it. That was not the case for this 25 year old car. Mr. Childs states: "cheaper is not always better". He bought an old inexpensive car and it needed many repairs. Whose fault was that?

These guys are by far the best in Fort Collins. Their location is a bit away from where I live in town so I've tried going to big chain places for minor things and always end up driving to Maztec. They overall have saved me over 800+ dollars the two times I've been there compared to other FoCO mechanics. They are always about 100+ more reasonably priced than any other place in town. Besides price all the mechanics are hands on. Once Mark actually brought me back to show me what was wrong with a part before replacing it. I can't tell you how reassuring it actually is to see what's physically wrong with your car rather than just taking their word for it. Reasonably priced, great customer service, and incredibly knowledgeable. By far the best place in town for big or small repairs.

Great mechanic shop! I owned a diesel jeep that I would always bring to Performance Tune and they were great every time. I like the personal customer service. They also send you emails to keep you updated on when to service your vehicle. Thanks for the many years of awesome maintenance!

I went to Performance Tuning off of a friends recommendation , they seemed very nice over the phone and set up a appointment for the next morning as soon as they opened. All i needed done was a diagnoses of an engine code that i had already pulled and to see where i had a e-vac leak coming from. I dropped my car off the next morning at 8 a.m. It sat where I parked it for the entire day with no one looking at it. I checked several times through out the day to see what their diagnoses was but they kept saying it was next in line. The 2nd day i got a call around 3p.m. and they finally had an answer. And said that the diagnoses cost $125, i asked them what they did and they said they checked the harnesses (meaning they looked at them), pulled the engine codes (Which i already did, cause its free at any part sotre and i told them that), and finally the only real benefit of that charge was them hooking up a smoke machine to see the e-vac leak. After the diagnoses they said it would cost about $660 to repair everything including labor. I called my insurance company to file my claim and i got denied. I found out that the estimated diagnoses and repair time for the problems i had was 1 hour and 10 minutes, and i was denied because the cost of the job was $100's over the range to fix the problem. And they told my insurance company that they charge $110 an hour for diagnoses work. So very untruthful company that charges top dollar for work that they couldn't even guarantee or warranty. So save yourself some time and avoid this place.

Mr. Gray's perception is in conflict with the facts. Pulling codes is not a diagnosis, it is only a first step. His evap leak was shown to be a small leak caused by a broken seal on the gas cap. This was proven by using a smoke machine to find it. He admits as much. Mr. Gray makes a very wrong assumption when he states that we "looked at" the harnesses, when in fact voltage testing was done on the systems that were throwing codes. I guess he forgot to mention that he had codes for an intake tuning solenoid and a torque convertor and incorrect gear 2 ratio in his transmission. Or maybe the folks who did his "free at any parts store" engine code read are not trained in diagnostics or how to interpret codes (that would be the job of the master mechanic who worked on his vehicle) so he didn't even ask for us to check those much more important items than the gas cap. It is hardly the problem of the repair shop that his insurance is unwilling to honor his policy. As for Mr. Gray's claim that we were untruthful about our charges, we have a signed work order authorizing us to spend $75-150 for testing and analyzing his car, and we charged him $125. How is that untruthful? Mr Gray, like most people, has no idea of what it takes to test and diagnose a problem which sets a code. The person who did the work on his car has been a mechanic for longer than Mr. Gray has been alive and is a nationally recognized trainer. I am sorry that he does not understand how electronic controls in a modern car work and how they are tested and analyzed. We read the codes, tested the systems and provided our advice. I have no idea where his statement of "charges top dollar for work that they couldn't even guarantee or warranty" when we did not do any repairs to the vehicle. We do, in fact, offer a two year, 24, 000 mile nationwide NAPA Peace of Mind Warranty on all parts and labor repairs that we do. We have been in business for 23+ years and hold an A+ rating with the BBB because we do warranty our work and honor that promise. And let me repeat: we did not do any repairs on the vehicle, not even the gas cap, only testing and analyzing for the codes stored in his computer.
