Most people neglect transmission service then think it will be something simple when it fails. This customer had it scanned at his local parts store and they told him it was a shift solenoid. Disassembly shows why it had ALL Neutrals.

When a friend that knows cars does your brakes. It didn't need both brake pads...one will do.

We will be open today. We will open at 10 to allow extra time for people to navigate the roads. Be careful out there and we wish all of you a blessed week.

PSA: We toured some of the local roads today and they are still terrible. Our access road hasn't seen any attention and most of the roads in the county are going to refreeze now that the sun is down. We will remain closed tomorrow as it is not safe for our customers at this time. We will be manning the phones so feel free to call and schedule work for when the ice is gone. Be safe and stay warm!

The best mechanics aren’t the fastest. They’re the ones who don’t see the same car twice for the same issue.

Update: If our county roads are not plowed today, we will not be open on Tuesday. The roads are passable in a 4WD but are simply too bad to navigate unless absolutely necessary. I drove on the roads around us today and they are iced over and the sun today made them worse. If you are out on the backroads, use caution and slow down. Hopefully we will get some thawing tomorrow. Each of you have a blessed day and stay safe.

Due to the current situation with the roads / weather, we will be closed on Monday 1/26/2026. The risk is simply not worth the reward to our loyal customers. We have been very busy with many engine rebuilds lately and have not posted as much as we should have. We have some very interesting builds underway and more in waiting. We hope each of you is safe and warm. Be safe if you must venture out.

Engine builders will get this photo. This is what happens when your engine builder learned from a YouTube video. Engine has almost no miles on it and actually had decent parts in it. Good work ain't cheap. Cheap work ain't good. Fortunately I can save most of the expensive parts.

Working out 60 year old wiring issues to make a customer car perfect. It is amazing what people do to wiring on these older cars. We take pride in making them look original and work even better!

Western Kentucky Performance will be closed on Friday August 1st to pay respect to our lifelong friend - Andy Altman. I personally have known him since I was very young growing up in Cherokee Park. Good man gone too soon. Prayers to his wife, kids, and other family.
