About Us

Why Choose Us?

Hargett Automotive & Performance began in 1986 as a small, engine-focused shop with one mission: build engines that make power and last. What started as an engine machining and performance shop has grown into Evansville’s most capable automotive and high-performance facility. Today we handle everything from daily driver maintenance to dyno tuning, turbo systems, and full drag-and-drive builds.
