I take all my cars to Bill. Whether it s maintenance or modifications.He built my srt in 2022 and it turned out amazing. When I dropped the car to him it was kind of a mess. Breaking up under boost. Stalling, going into limp mode. He straightened it out with a solid tune and added some very nice modifications while we were at it.After that I picked up a 2018 SHO and let him get to work on that. Plugs, Tstat, intake and a tune, Big intercooler, oil pan, under coating, tires, That Came out fantastic. I ve had zero issues with the car since leaving his shop.Currently he s building a 1991 Galant vr4 for me, and as you might know. Something like that has its caveats. He s sourced parts that don t exist anymore. And is going above and beyond as usual. I m more excited about this build than any previous. And I know it s in the right hands.He also does the maintenance on my AMG.These guys know their stuff!

Had a great first experience. I met Bill for the first time today, and he was very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to.I would definitely recommend this place to anyone with a gas engine looking for a dyno

Thanks Bill for getting my 300zx back on the road. The clutch never felt better! Complete professionalism at explaining what needs to be fixed and why. He lays out the old parts to show why it needed replacement. You don t have to worry about being sold things you don t need like so many other shops. Also the knowledge and needed special tools for a multitude of car lines means they can fix almost anything and can fix it right the first time without guess work. I ve been going there for 20+ years and every time it s a positive experience!

I recently visited Pruven Performance and I am so glad that I did! As an owner of a 2020 Mercedes GLC 43, I was looking for a way to give my car a little extra edge, and Pruven Performance did exactly that with their ECU tune and cold air intake upgrades.Bill Jr. and Bill Sr. were incredibly knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. They explained everything to me in a clear and easy-to-understand manner, so I knew exactly what was happening every step of the way.The results of their hard work were absolutely phenomenal. My car is now faster and more responsive than ever, making every drive an absolute delight. I honestly cannot thank them enough for the amazing job they've done. Bill Jr. and Bill Senior are true professionals who really know their stuff. They take great pride in their work and it shows in everything they do. If you're in the market for performance upgrades or repairs for your vehicle, you simply can't go wrong with Pruven Performance!

Pruven Performance has saved my soul! They were the ONLY place that could fix a quite unusual problem I had with my new (to me) car! I had gone to quite a few different places, including the car's own dealership! Even THEY wanted nothing to do with the problem! It was frustrating beyond belief!!!!THEN - I remembered Pruven and all the wonderful work they had done over the years on my 1999 Saab. Nothing was ever too complicated for them - nothing.They have my utmost respect and gratitude for all they've done for my vehicles, and they have just 'inherited' my newest addition to my automotive family.They are everything an automotive service center should be.

I recently purchased an Audi SQ5 and I was very pleased by the car but after some time I was starting to get bored of the performance. I brought up my concerns to bill here at Pruven performance and he suggested a tune. Ever since I ve fallen in love with my car again and every time I m on the throttle I m not worried about miles per gallon because I m getting all smiles. In all seriousness though very pleased with the quality of work done here in this shop. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to get their car on another level.

I used Pruven's towing service after breaking down on I95. They came out within minutes and quickly got me off the highway to a repair shop. They could not be nicer or easier to work with. I would highly recommend them. Awesome people.

Please do you self a favor and do not bring your car here if you need any professional work done. if you get a flat they might be able to handle that. when i first went there to talk about some mods I wanted to do to my car both Bill Sr and Bill Jr were very nice. Bill Jr told me that I shouldn't use the parts that I wanted because I would have check engine light problems and it would not pass emissions so I went with he recommended and guess what ? The check engine light has been on 5 times and it will not pass emissions. I brought it back and now they want to charge $260.00 to fix something they caused after I have already paid them $5000.00 for the work done. After arguing with them for about an hour I gave in and told them to just fix the car and I will pay. Another customer came in while we were arguing and Bill Sr proceeded to tell the customer what we were arguing about. Very unprofessional. They called me 2 hours and said you can come and get the car. They said they don't want to work on my car anymore and they will not fix it. they believe that their work does not fail they always want to blame something else. They are backyard mechanics masquerading as professionals. don't get sucked in like I did. they don't know what they are doing and become very arrogant if you have a problem.STAY AWAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!most positive reviews are oil changes , tune up and normal repairs like that. If you need real work done go to a professional.Can't wait to see how professional Bill Jr likes to make himself sound when he responds to a negative review. don't fall for it. If he would just stand by his work we wouldn't have this problem

Bill and Bill are true professionals on every way. I decided to takeMy MB AMG to get serviced. I was tired of impersonal and pricey service at the dealership. Not only were they about 1/2 the price, they took time to explain everything, they were on time too. I brought them my 2nd car because I felt very comfortable with them. Trustworthy, great work, and they are nice people to work with.

Can t say enough good things about Bill and his family business. Great service , fair price and very knowledgeable! Saved me thousands of $ when I had brought my Porsche to dealer for a failed taillight code and they said needed to replace both rear taillights. Brought to Bill at Pruven he took a look and said, nope just need a new battery, has been good since !!!So highly recommend for your high end car or your daily ride.

I have a 2011 Santa Fe and my wife has a 2014 Sonata. We have been bringing both cars to Pruven Performance since 2015 for routine maintenance as well as unforeseen issues. I am impressed with their good customer service and straight forward approach towards maintenance and repairs. They stick to their schedule so I can always plan my drop off and pick up in advance which helps keep my family s busy schedule on track. If something unplanned happens they are always quick to respond and they have towed my car in twice which saved me time. I used to go to the dealership but feel I get more value when I take my cars to Pruven.

Had a fantastic experience with Pruven. Broke down on I95 and called for a tow. Bill Junior arrived within 15 minutes and brought me to the train station where I could catch a train to New Jersey. Because it was Sunday I was at their mercy and put my trust in them to fix my car at a reasonable cost.Monday morning I got a call that detailed the work that needed to be done and the car was ready on Tuesday. Tuesday morning I got back on the train and when I arrived they were there to pick me up and bring me to the car.The serpentine belt that had come apart was presented as well as another tension something or other . When I get home I checked with my local mechanic on the pricing and he quoted me a range that was actually above what they had charged me.What could ve been a very expensive nightmare turned out to be a low-cost minor hassle.I highly recommend this firm. Real good people.

I brought my car ( 2013 Toyota RAV4) in for service. Everything was handled with ease and I was happy with end result. Bill explained what could be wrong with my car and what should be done before starting any work and we decided what work would be done on car together before anything was started. I felt trusted in the process. Would definitely go there again.

Bill (owner) has continued to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and professional over the years. Unlike other mechanics I ve been to, he takes the time to explain issues and options before knocking me over the head for thousands of dollars. Most recently, before purchasing a BMW 535 from a used car dealer, I had Bill do a once over to ease my mind. He immediately found the car needed a new water pump which saved me over $2000. Bill did not even charge me a dime for his time and diagnosis. Would highly recommend to anyone and do all the time. Top notch

Back in April I had purchased a Subaru Legacy that had had some purely cosmetic modifications made to it Stretched wheels, lowered stance, the whole nine. It was great to drive for the summer, but I ran into issues like bottoming out when pulling into certain driveways and always checking to make sure pieces of the car were still attaches underneath. Recently I purchased new, all-season tires and brought the car to Pruven to have them put on with hopes that I d gain some natural height. When I spoke to Bill Sr. on the phone, he walked me through everything that would happen during the process and gave me an accurate quote on what the job would cost. A day after picking up my car, I had my first mechanical problem something I had been warned about right after purchasing the vehicle. I had two misfires in the engine and the car could not be driven anywhere but to a shop, so I brought it back to Pruven. Again, Bill Sr. walked me through what was happening with the vehicle and gave me a handful of options. The following day, I went to pick up my vehicle and now it s been running like brand new since. For all of my future endeavors, I will return to this place and will recommend that all of my friends and family do so as well.

I've been going to Pruven Performance since 2017 and they are the best. They provide accurate diagnostics and honest advice on repairs. If you are mechanically inclined, you will actually enjoy bringing your car to them. If you have limited automotive knowledge, you will be comfortable with their explanation of services. I have my daughter go there and I trust them completely, knowing she won't come home with some outrageous story of woe. I've recommended them to co-workers, friends, and relatives.You won't go wrong taking your car to Pruven Performance.

I had my 1967 Camaro garaged since 2006 and decided 2020 was the year to take it out and get it back on the road. Needless to say there was much work required and after research I chose Pruven Performance to get my 327 back in shape. The recommendations I received from my friends were spot on. The staff at Pruven diagnosed all the mechanical and electrical systems on the car at a reasonable price. Together we agreed to a scope of work that included purging 14 year old fuel from the gas tank to repairing the electrical systems.No detail no matter how small was overlooked. The staff at Pruven are knowledgeable, friendly and most of all trustworthy. I am impressed with the results, now my red Camaro is ready for the road.

Outstanding service & incredibly passionate staff that absolutely goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable with all your automotive needs. I am no longer in Milford, but drive 40 minutes to have Bill the owner take care of our family automobiles. You will be happy you brought your car(s) to them.

Hi Bill Sr.,I want to thank you for the great job you and your son Bill did for me. From researching the type of tire required for the model of car to the best performing tire. And the way you balance the tires is extraordinary. Nobody takes the extra effort to make it exact like you do.Also, I want to thank Bill for cleaning and shining up the inside of the wheel rims. The wheels look like they are directly off the showroom. Great job! I really appreciate the extra detailed work. It makes all the difference.Thank you for your help!Best,EdMilford, CT

It always sucks when your car breaks down on the side of the highway. These guys were able to come and tow my car within 15 minutes of calling. I decided to also have them do the work and I was not disappointed. They gave me a few price point options and Were able to fix my car within a few days.I would use them again. hopefully I won't have to

My home base is in Milford CT and Pruven Performance has taken care of my cars for the last 10 years. When I spent 5 years traveling back and forth to Boston and most recently spent two years commuting to Philadelphia I really depended on Pruven to keep my Acura 3.5 RL running smoothly. Pruven has not let me down and routinely alerted me ahead of time before parts failed. I appreciate and need this level of service! Keep up the good work Pruven!

Brought my SUV for a noise emitted at the back, and after spending approximately $7K (replaced rotors, pads, shocks sway bars, etc.), the clanking noise at the back remained. A new problem surfaced after the repairs were made (front end shaking at 65MPH). Owner Bill washed his hands by stating his famous line: "Sorry you feel we couldn't meet your expectations. Absolutely pathetic. Will take my SUV to a more reputable mechanic.

I have reached 462,100 on my 2001 Honda CR-V with the original engine and it is still running strong! Pruven Performance has serviced my Honda since 2007 doing all the maintenance and repairs. I think they do it right and the results prove it.

I used to bring my 2011 BMW 328Xi to the dealer until I tried Pruven. Pruven uses OEM oil and filter for maintainence and geniune OEM parts for repair. The staff always shows me the old parts and points out how the part failed. At 107,000 miles my 3 series rides great!

Completely satisfied. Quality service. Services delivered as promised. They listen to me when I describe what needs to be done. They fix it right the first time. Very thorough. They alert me to other items which require attention, and also let me know when something does not require urgent care, so that I can budget properly. I highly recommend, especially if the successful operation of your business depends on your vehicle working at optimum efficiency.

Bill did great work on my car, DB7, especially when he discovered that he was able to repair one of the A/C blowers without having to replace it with an OEM unit.Always available to discuss matters any time.
