History

Established in 2013.

We started out many years ago as a carburetor repair shop, rebuilding carburetors and tuning engines to get the best performance out of the carburetor. From there we created this business to help «build more power and fun» in your street machine, race car, truck or boat motor. Our skilled team of technicians has over four decades of experience in the industry. Customer service is #1 and we won’t stop until you are satisfied.

Meet the Business Owner

Gary E.

Business Owner

Gary has several decades in various segments of the automotive industry. He rebuilt carburetors as a hobby that blossomed into the mobile carburetor hospital that travelled around to various race tracks. He has owned several street cars that he built himself. Gary has always enjoyed making his cars as well as others perform better so they could go faster. It was that love that led to opening Highland Performance Center.
