Our Team

Meet the team

A hands-on, owner-run performance shop where the people who talk to you are the same ones turning wrenches and laying down dyno pulls.

At APA Custom Shop, the team is small on ego and big on doing the job right. We are an owner-run performance and tuning shop in Queen Creek, Arizona, built by people who spend their weekends the same way they spend their workweek, with cars up on the lift and a laptop hooked to the ECU. Decades of combined automotive and motorsport experience sit behind the work that rolls through the door, and when you call or stop in, you are talking to real gearheads who actually wrench, tune, and fabricate right here.

Owner-Run, Hands-On, No Middlemen

When you bring a project to APA Custom Shop, you are not handed off down a chain of service writers. The people who build your combo are the same ones who talk you through it, so the plan for your car stays consistent from the first conversation to the final dyno pull.

That hands-on culture is the whole point. We would rather earn your trust with straight answers and clean work than sell you parts you do not need. It is a big part of why customers keep coming back, and it shows in our 4.6 out of 5 rating across 60 Google reviews.

The Crew You Will Actually Talk To

Here are a few of the faces our customers get to know. Roles blend together in a shop this size, so do not be surprised if the person who tuned your car is also the one who helped fabricate the bracket holding your new turbo.

  • Sean, tuning and build side. The kind of gearhead who lives for a clean dyno sheet and a combo that drives as good as it makes power. Ask him about ECU tuning, cam packages, and getting your setup dialed.
  • Tiffany, service and customer care. Usually your first point of contact, keeping projects moving and making sure you actually know what is happening with your car instead of guessing.
  • Jared, fabrication and install side. Happy under the car with a welder or a wrench, handling headers, exhaust, supercharger and turbo installs, and the custom work that makes a build fit right.

What This Team Lives For

Everyone here is pulled together by the same thing, making cars run harder, drive better, and last. Our in-house Dynojet dyno lets us tune and verify on site, and we lean on trusted partners like Dynojet, HP Tuners, RideTech, and Texas Speed and Performance to back the work.

  • ECU tuning with HP Tuners, plus Mopar ECU unlocking and remote tuning
  • Cam packages, long-tube headers, and exhaust
  • Supercharger and turbo installs, engine builds, and swaps
  • Custom fabrication for the parts that do not come off a shelf
  • Suspension, brakes, and alignments, plus honest diagnostics
