Built to perform.
Ready to work.

Palmetto Performance Garage handles diagnostics, mechanical repair, performance upgrades, engine and transmission work — and we'll come to you when the vehicle can't make it in.

Straight answers on what your vehicle needs — no guesswork.

What We Do

We diagnose it. We repair it. We build it.

From a check-engine light on a daily driver to a full powertrain project, the same shop handles it. Every job starts with proper diagnosis — not a parts cannon.

Automotive Repair

Mechanical repairs, scheduled maintenance, cooling systems, leaks, electrical troubleshooting and general automotive repair.

Diagnostics

Check-engine lights, drivability problems, misfires, electrical faults, overheating, transmission problems and the hard-to-pin-down issues other shops give back.

Engine Repair & Builds

Engine diagnosis, repair, replacement and performance-oriented builds — from a tired work truck to a purpose-built powerplant.

Transmission Service & Rebuilds

Transmission diagnostics, repair, removal and installation, and rebuild services for automatic and manual drivetrains.

LS Performance

Camshaft installs, valvetrain upgrades, intake and exhaust-related performance work, supporting modifications and full LS builds.

Engine Swaps

LS swaps, drivetrain conversions and custom powertrain projects — planned properly so the details are sorted before the first bolt comes out.

Performance Upgrades

Bolt-ons, intake and exhaust upgrades, cam packages, drivetrain upgrades and other performance modifications matched to how you actually drive.

Mobile Mechanic Service

On-site diagnostics and repairs for customers who can't easily get the vehicle to the shop — qualifying jobs handled wherever the vehicle sits.

Custom Projects

Not every build fits a menu. Tell us what you're working with and we'll tell you straight whether it's something we take on.

Working on something unusual? We'd rather talk it through than guess.

For the Enthusiasts

Stock is just
the starting point.

If you're chasing real power, you need a shop that speaks the language. Bring us the goal — a cam that actually matches your converter and gearing, a swap that gets wired and plumbed right the first time, or a build plan that holds together past the dyno pull.

Custom build planning

Plan on a conversation before parts get ordered. Combos matter — and we'd rather build it once, correctly.

Mobile Mechanic

The garage can
come to you.

Not every vehicle can make it to the shop — a no-start in the driveway, a project that isn't roadworthy yet, a fleet vehicle that can't leave the yard. For qualifying repairs and diagnostics, we bring the tools to the vehicle.

  • On-site diagnostics
  • No-start & drivability issues
  • Qualifying repairs
  • Electrical troubleshooting
  • Fleet & project vehicles
  • Clear scope before we roll

Mobile availability depends on the job and how far out you are — send the details and we'll confirm what we can do on-site.

Transmission & Powertrain

A specialty,
not an afterthought.

Transmission work is where a lot of shops get vague. We'll diagnose it properly, explain what's actually happening, and give you a straight recommendation — repair, rebuild, or replace.

We won't promise a rebuild is the answer before we've inspected the unit. Some aren't worth saving, and some just need the right part.

Performance-oriented drivetrain work too — because a built engine behind a tired transmission is a short trip to a tow truck.

How It Works

No runaround, no surprise line items. Here's exactly how a job moves through the shop.

We diagnose it properly

Real troubleshooting before parts get ordered. You get the actual cause, not a guess.

03

You approve the plan

Straight talk on what it needs, what it'll take, and what can wait. Then we go to work.

Done and explained

We walk you through what was done — whether it was maintenance or a full powertrain build.
