What We Do

Performance work that
actually shows up on the dyno.

Whether you need a routine maintenance check or a full engine swap, we bring the same attention to detail — because every mile matters.

Engine Repair & Rebuilds

Complete engine diagnostics, teardown, and rebuilds. We restore your engine to peak performance or build one from scratch for your specific goals.

Performance Builds

Street, track, or competition — we design and build engines around your goals. Forced induction, stroker kits, cam swaps, and full custom builds.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Buying a performance car or a project? We'll put it on the lift, find the hidden issues, and give you an honest report before you hand over cash.

Transmission & Drivetrain

Manual and automatic transmission rebuilds, clutch replacements, and driveline work. We keep power getting to the pavement where it belongs.

Custom Fabrication

Headers, intake manifolds, custom cooling systems, and any bracket work your build demands. If it doesn't exist off the shelf, we'll make it.

Routine Maintenance

Oil changes, brake service, coolant flushes, and scheduled maintenance. We treat your daily driver with the same respect we give a race car.

About Us

We build engines the way we'd build our own.

Custom Performance Engines started with a simple idea: give people honest, skilled work without the markup or the confusion. Located right here in Mt Ulla, we've spent years earning the trust of locals who want their vehicles — whatever they run on — to perform at their best.

We're not a franchise or a chain. We're a local shop with a lift, a tool chest, and a genuine love for making engines run better than they did when they left the factory. That mindset shows up in every job we take on.

Transparent pricing — no surprise add-ons
Quality parts from trusted suppliers
Every job backed by our commitment to quality
