A Decade of
Lotus Specialism

Ten years ago, Performance Autocare was founded by Jonny, a Lotus Specialist Technician with over 15 years of experience with the brand. Jonny started Performance Autocare with a singular vision: to elevate the specialist experience. Ten years on, that means servicing, restorations, performance builds and track-side support for Lotus owners across the North.

ENGINEERING THROUGH EXPERIENCE

Performance Autocare is born from a lifelong obsession with the limit. When he’s not in the workshop, you’ll find our owner Jonny testing his own bespoke builds at circuits like Cadwell Park & Donington Park.

This hands-on track pedigree ensures that every upgrade or service we perform isn't just technically correct; it's track tested for performance and reliability.
