Testimonials

Theodore Isaac Rubin

“Recently, Rob at Stage 1 did a ring and pinion gear swap on my 25th anniversary 7-up Mustang and they set up the new gears perfectly (absolutely zero noise) and the price was exactly what he quoted me before he started the job. I would recommend them to everybody driving a performance car (except my opponents. LOL)”

Joseph Ragonese

I am EXTREMELY satisfied with the work Rob Destin and crew performed on my 2019 Camaro. They’re on point professional and totally passionate about their shop and work. It’s hands down the best speed shop I’ve been to in my over 30 years experience. They’re that good

Hoseung Yoon (AHSY)

They’ve done a custom work for my exhaust to modify. They will back up their work and help you out along the way. I would definitely recommend this shop!
