Tommy is the only guy I trust working on Lancer Evolution s. I ve taken both my cars solely to him for any service needed. He always took my car in same day anytime I needed service and gave me real time updates of everything showing and explaining the process. Offering fair pricing and better quality work than the dealer would ever offer.When it was time to buy my 2015 Mitsubishi. Lancer Evolution X Final Edition he closed down shop early just to come by and fully inspect the vehicle to ensure it would be a good purchase and not a money pit. Immediately tested everything told me what the car is worth and what work it needed, and even offered to negotiate the price for me with the dealer to get me that good deal.

Tommy is one of the best people I know. Iv been going to him for over 10+ years when I needed mechanical work or tuning on my Talon. It always ran top notch. He s currently building my motor and restoring my car. I wouldn't trust any else to work on my baby.

Tommy came recommended from another shop to tune my Subaru. He did a great job getting it right fixing leaks and installing gauges. Kept me informed through the entire process. After paying he kept me like two hours making sure everything was right and explaining everything. He really cares about his work. Definately recommend.

He's a awesome guy who goes above and beyond give his shop a chance. You will definitely be surprised on the quality of work and effort he puts in to every car he works on even if you have questions about cars he doesn't.

I've had my car worked on by Tommy twice now. He just finished doing a sleeved built engine, built trans, bigger turbo etc. Tommy is a great dude, with alot of heart! He puts his care and love on every car he works on. He's the only guy I trust with my Evo. He even went to as far as to point out issues not related to repair, and make sure it's right, and safe for the road. He's also the only person to work on the car, it's a catch 22, it might take a bit longer but you don't have to worry about 100 different hands in the pot. I can't thank him enough. 10 out 10 would recommend to anyone needing work on Evos.Services: Engine repair, Transmission replacement

I am an Automotive YouTuber and Tommy, the owner has consulted with me for a few of my videos to make sure I wasn't screwing anything up or giving people wrong information when it comes to working on my 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR. He has always been a standup guy with great rates and prices compared to his competition here in Cincinnati, OH where I live. He can have a somewhat slow turn around but that is because of the amount of work that he has to do and the rate that his shop is growing. He is looking for more help to speed up his turn around times but that is a slow process since he won't just hire a body to turn a wrench. For him to hire someone they have to know what they are doing and he has to be able to trust them. That is the same way I run my businesses. I have always enjoyed working with him because he is up front and honest and gives you the same respect level that you give him. When I get the rest of the parts installed on my Evo I am going to be hauling it up to him to get it tuned. My Evo is my baby and he is one of three tuners that I know that I will trust to touch her.Service: Electrical

Tommy is a very helpful and knowledgeable guy! He built my evo 8 from top to bottom. Built block and head and tune. The car is running better than it did before. He took the time to send me pictures of the build and explain everything that he was doing with the car. He built be a dream race car and I trust him with his work. Appreciate all the countless hours he put in to have it ready in a very short time.#BecauseRaceCar

My Evo x had a transmission Gasket leak along with other minor problems. He gave me tips to dos and don'ts with evos. Hes very knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. He is a very friendly and professional mechanic and treats you more than just a customer and actually cares about your car as well. I will keep doing business with him in the future. If your Evo needs performance parts or maintenance, Tommy is the go to man! 10/10.

Tommy is very well educated and keeps you constantly posted and always welcomes you to the shop to see progress. Had my evo x over boosting and he fixed the problem right up. He actually offered to tune it the very next day after it started happening. He doesn't skip corners and makes sure the jobs done right. Anyone can get a quick fix to have a car "driveable" but he stresses on things that will keep the car reliable which is an honest mechanic. Jumping through hoops on a car creates issues. Don't cut corners and listen the his knowledge. He knows his stuff!!

Let me be clear with a couple of things about this shop. Firstly, I am just now leaving my review because Tommy is out there bashing on supposed fake profiles well my review is pretty real and I want you all to know my experience.I not only feared for my car as it was being torn apart because of Tommy's lack of troubleshooting, which caused me to spend more money, but feared for other cars that were getting the cold shoulder treatment. Using my car and other car owners' vehicles as a surface to lay parts on and my biggest pet peeve CLEANLINESS. To sum it up, My car goes in with tires not deflated or with any screws in them, but came out with a flat that had about 80% tread left in them. I even offered to clean the damn shop because god knows I would've had to change all 4 since Tommy leaves his shop car and all nuts and bolts in disarray. When he removed my interior parts including my seats, he gave me his word that he would have it cleaned. Despite that, I had to do it myself, and he temporarily lost my strut bar for about a week before I had to come down to his shop myself to search for it. Now let me go into detail on why I was there so Mr. Schreiber can have an epiphany.I take my car in for what was supposed to be a "simple" fuel conversion to E85, and bigger injectors. I even asked him to throw in a skunk2 intake that he had issues with later on. Yes ok customers are allowed to make mistakes because its not our profession. Yet Tommy makes it all a big deal and says to get brand new everything because if you got enough money you can throw new parts at a car and it will eventually start working right Tommy? Honestly I did have the worst luck while waiting for my car to one day be fixed and out the door. A year later and it was finally done. Was it worth a year? No. But did he fix my car...? Well yea after investing thousands of dollars into a car even my grandpa can have it fixed in half the time. What was keeping him? Well, he was doing a lot of prepping for DSM shootouts in 2016 so he had to put all of the customer cars on hold so that he can spend his cash stack on his own parts. Being the owner and only mechanic in that shop didn't take long for me to notice the fatigue he went through. But why should a customer care right? Waking up at 6am and working until midnight is not a customer's fault.What did I find after getting my car back from Tommy? Nothing major but because I am a very meticulous type of person, I look at the smaller things and was pretty disappointed for that long of a wait. Coolant lines from turbo were loose, the radium catch can he recommended was not tightened all the way, tells me to pay more money on another battery holding box after just paying for one he recommended to me, and put the ground wire from the battery to the transmission. The most embarrassing moment from what I could get from Tommy's work was his exhaust leak where he loosened my wastegate to make the car louder and raspier with a deep idle to mimic my car having cams.Overall, in the end it was all my mistake for even having it there for as long as I kept it there for but what I gained from it was a lesson where you leave your car with someone who hates literally every other competitor shop and boasts about his work but cannot deliver with his own car.Tommy I know what you're gonna say, you want to tell me how much you've helped me in the long run right? Well let me explain something to you my friend, I'm especially grateful that you helped me get a brand new skunk2 intake, as a TRUE veteran of the Marine Corps I appreciate the extra mile you went for me, but your shady work doesn't come close to what I expected of you from the money I handed you and if you want to say anything to me in retaliation, it doesn't matter because I am just a customer, I don't have to be professional with you. And lastly, don't be so mad when we decide to go to another shop, your aggressiveness gets you absolutely no where.P.S my car is as great as ever, thanks to John Drew, someone you never even met.

Good mechanic, bad business practice. I spent tons of money there just to get the car back with leaks and broken parts. Had previously left a positive review but after hearing from friends that were interested in taking the car to him figured to update this with my final review after having the car for a while and realizing he had blocked me on facebook and talked trash from me taking my car to a different shop.

I needed work done on my Audi that was specialized and found his shop the best fit for my custom needs. In the testing process the car developed some mechanical issues that I authorized him to resolve in order to continue testing and complete the task. Further mechanical issues arose and I decided to have my normal mechanic continue the work. All work was paid for including an early payment due to him needing it for rent. Part of the payments were by credit card. Since he was a new shop he had another party accepting payment on his behalf (in the middle of North Chicago). All seemed well until months later I get a letter stating their credit merchant services is rescinding the payment and they are asking for money. I then call tom to ask for more information and he states this will get legal fast and accuses me of disputing the payment or fraud. Before I received the additional information and proof I had asked for, Tom text s me with consistent threats of arrest and inside people he knows at the police department who will take action in 24 hours. I was forced to speak with a lawyer about a restraining order and visit my local police department concerning the level and amount of threats. Turns out the credit card number was misentered (on both credit charges) and they charged the wrong accounts. This had to be settled at the police department after certified mail correspondence. The skills he may have as a mechanic are negated by his immaturity, arrogance, and threatening, erratic behavior. My recommendation is save yourself the trouble.

Tommy is my guy for sure. Came in for him to go over everything on the car and as he did he taught me so much. He had noticed I was using the wrong plugs and has parts on the phone and in the shop in about 30 minutes. Also went out for a street tune and he got some amazing numbers out of the car especially when, with the setup I have(mostly stock-no ebcs, wideband), most shops wouldn t even touch the car. Let Tommy fix your evo/dsm right the first time. Definitely a returning customer!

Does amazing work! Extremely knowledgeable in the dsm/evo world. I listened to his advice when he said wait for a tune, get the big list of backup supporting mods done then get it tune. The most reliable and safest decision I've ever done when wanting my baby to run right! Highly recommended. Doesnt push you to go thru him and really appreciates the customer. Thank you tommy for taking care of us over the years!

Terrible turnaround times. Even worse Tommy, the owner, happily insults his unhappy customers and brags about it to the public. I'd stay away and spend your money elsewhere. With someone who won't call you the R word amongst other insults and brag about it.

Be aware of this guy! He will quote you low so he can get your car in his shop and then he will jack up the price, and keep your car hostage until you pay him!He will brag about how great mechanic he is, when he s not!But the truth is he should only stick to the oil changes!

Tried setting up an appointment with the owner, all i got was their voicemail. When they finally got back to me three days later they made it sound like upgrading what I wanted on my car wasn't worth their time. They were rude and hostile to me on the phone, and became short with their answers after a minute or two like they had better things to do.

I went to Tommy s shop with a problem that nobody could find . Wasted a lot of money previously trying to find the problem , no one was sure or lying . I gave tommy and Schreiber Performance a try and my god was I impressed on the worth ethic of this man ! He was moving around trying everything to help me out. He literally came on his day off and open the shop just to help me out ! Best part of all is that he threats you good and take care of you . I recommend this shop for all your evo and dsm needs!

*IF YOU WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF, DEAL WITH POOR ATTITUDE AND HAVE THE OWNER TELL YOU; YOU ARENT A CUSTOMER UNLESS YOU SPEND 10k THEN BY ALL MEANS COME HERE.-Took my car here and was told by owner that my car doesn t get touched unless I ok it. Then when I go to pull the car out of there because of an emergency he starts taking things off the car and puts them back and charges me for it when I never agreed on it.-he left my seats all greasy and dirty-when I asked for a receipt when I was leaving he said No, you are not a customer because you re leaving, I ll give you one when you come back. You are only a customer when you spent 10k here -poor attitude-he tells you to replace parts that don t need replacement (parts that were brand new)-Rip off prices or just lies**the owner replied by asking for a receipt to show I was actually there and not a fake review. I posted a picture of a receipt he sent me of the parts he ordered.
