Performance Direct

Proud to Be Part of Barnsley’s Car Scene Since 2004

We’re a family run business based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, with a passion for cars that goes back to the old Max Power days. From our very first project, a Corsa van modified to a high show standard and still on the road today, to the shop and workshop we run now, cars have always been at the heart of what we do.

What we’re about

We’re more than just a shop. We’re a team of enthusiasts who happen to sell and fit car parts for a living. Our retail shop in Barnsley lets you come and see products first hand before you buy, and if we don’t stock something, chances are we can order it in.

Alongside the shop, our on site workshop handles fitting on most of what we sell, from brakes and suspension through to turbo upgrades and remapping. Nearly 16 years of trading later, we’ve grown well beyond our own show vehicles, which you’ll spot at shows across the UK and Europe, and we’ve been proud to be part of magazine featured builds, both ours and our customers’.

Our mission

To become one of the most trusted retail shops and garages in the industry, offering the best of our ability whether that’s sourcing the right part or fitting it for you, all without the hefty dealership price tag.

Our values

We’re straight talkers. If we don’t think an upgrade is worth doing, we’ll tell you. We believe in sourcing good quality products, fitting them properly, and making sure every customer drives away happy.

Fitting Services Available

Our skilled and fully trained technicians fit everything from suspension and brakes to exhausts, intercoolers, tyres and more, all backed by a state of the art tyre machine and balancer.

The Brands We Work With

We stock and fit parts from some of the biggest and most trusted names in the industry, so you can shop with confidence knowing every product meets the standard your car deserves.

TL;DR - These guys are absolutely fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough.

The pricing at this place is more than fair and the mechanics here are obviously passionate about their works. They want your car running as much as you do and don’t just jump to the single most expensive solution they can cook up. Even in this heat (36 degrees) they’re still chatty and super friendly too.

I’ve been to them with 2 issues so far and they’ve done the work far cheaper than any place around. Having a modded car, they also absolutely understand my car and my needs too. Finding a garage that’s reasonably priced, sociable AND understands modded cars is like gold dust these days.

Cannot recommend enough.
