Performance car mechanic for Algeciras
A performance car mechanic for Algeciras should be judged by how the car drives when it leaves, not by the stickers on the workshop wall. At SRM Performance, about 20 km away in La Línea, we build cars with a car mechanic's eye.
Tuning a car is a package. A remap, a custom exhaust or downpipe, an intake, lowered or air suspension, sometimes a full engine swap. Each part affects the others, which is why we start with a health check: there's no point adding power to an engine with vacuum leaks, a slipping clutch or marginal cooling, and the August heat round the bay will find any weakness.
Most of what we see from the Campo de Gibraltar is turbocharged VAG hatchbacks, six-cylinder BMWs and the odd AMG, but we'll work on any make. We do our own TIG welding in stainless steel and aluminium in the workshop, so a custom exhaust or bracket isn't limited to what's in a catalogue.
You decide how far to go. We'll explain what each step means for the ITV and noise rules; keeping the car road-legal is the owner's responsibility.

Driving route to the workshop
Your build, from Algeciras to La Línea
It's about 20 km on the A-7. A build usually means more than one visit: one to look at the car and talk it through, then the work itself. The drive is about 20 minutes. How long each stage takes depends on the car and the job; we'll tell you when we quote.

Frequently asked questions
Where should I start with tuning my car?
With a health check. Once the car is sound, most people start with a remap and add an exhaust, intake or suspension if they want more. We'll talk it through based on the car and how you use it.
Do you tune any make?
Yes. We see a lot of VAG, BMW and Mercedes-AMG, but we work on all makes.
Can I bring parts I've bought myself?
Yes, we fit parts you supply. Message us first and we'll talk about the specific part.
Will tuning stop my car passing the ITV?
It can. Changes to power, exhaust or suspension can affect the ITV and homologation. We explain this before we start, and keeping the car legal is the owner's responsibility. If needed, we can help with the ITV and homologation.
