ABOUT US
Davco Performance is a rare find today. We are a small, independent facility with state of the art experience, tools, and expertise. Our business ethics are our hallmark. Customers' vehicles are evaluated honestly, and our prices are fair. Because we are an independent shop, our overhead is low, and we can pass that savings onto our customers.
The owner, David Campbell, has 32 years in the trade and is routinely updated with the latest and best in technical information available. Technicians in the shop stay current by regularly attending educational workshops and seminars.
Service is personal and friendly; we get to know our customers and their vehicles. We keep our customers informed on the best way to maintain their vehicles to prevent future costly repairs. And for our customer's convenience, we are a New York State Inspection facility and are always glad to alert them to their inspection due-dates. We issue regular maintenance reminders as well and keep an extensive database, so there is no need for our customers to "produce" their own receipts for history, maintenance, or warranty purposes.
Our Expertise
In a word: TRANSMISSIONS. And that means...any kind! Foreign or domestic, automatic or manual, antique, classic, and street-rod transmissions.
We pride ourselves on being the best at diagnosing, repairing, resealing, and rebuilding transmissions effectively, including today's computer controlled transmissions. In
addition, we routinely perform upgrades on transmissions for performance applications.
Our History
The owner, David Campbell, was one of the first technicians in the 1970's to be certified by National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence (NIASE), known today as ASE. His knowledge and certifications include automatic and manual transmission overhaul; differential and transfer case overhaul; advanced engine diagnostics; and brakes and suspension repair. Check engine light on? He and his technicians are particularly adept at those elusive electronic emissions problems with which other shops struggle.
Davco came to Syracuse in 1986 from New York City and Long Island. David began as a transmission installer, then rebuilder, shop manager, and finally, an instructor at APEX Technical School in Manhattan. Since then, his drive for excellence and his desire to help people with honest, professional automotive repairs inspired him to open Davco Performance, offering Syracuse the best in all-around automotive repair.
His employees are technicians, handpicked, educated in automotive technology, as well as trained by him to provide the highest quality service and the most ethical attitude toward excellence in their fields.
