Tommy's Auto & Performance is a local mom and pop shop in Atascadero, California, run by Tommy and Emily Bakar.

​

My wife Emily and I started this shop in January, 2019. Years of hearing about the poor stigma that comes with automotive shops and knowing of loved ones that have been repeatedly taken advantage of sparked a desire for us to open our own automotive shop. Our goal is to treat people as though they are family, serving them with honesty and providing them with quality automotive work.

 

My passion for working on vehicles began at age 12 when I had an opportunity to work and learn about vehicles at a local tire shop. At this young age, I discovered my love for vehicles and serving people through them.  Since then, I have been working in tire shops, off-road performance shops, as well as managing companies entire fleets of pick-ups, cranes, semis, and trailers.
