New to Florida… found and came to Jake and Debbie with a heavy heart and very difficult situation with my Mustang build… twice failed engine build and a car that I have lost almost 4 years to bad luck, getting burnt by a local shop that I would not name except that the owner took my car and crashed it getting a DUI and COVID… well… Jake took the time to go over everything and a game plan to resurrect my beast… he provided his network… Kris Starnes and rebuilt my car to near perfect condition… these folks are the REAL DEAL… LaMotta Performance is by far one of the best performance shops that I have ever experienced… Jake’s knowledge, skill, efficiency, thoroughness, attention to detail, organization and communication is second to none… my car is running like never before and Jake and Debbie took good care of me despite my situation… these are great people with integrity and honesty… I unreservedly recommend them…

terrible. never go here for anything. came for a simple twin disk clutch install and the car was nearly undrivable afterward. wouldnt go into gear or come out of gear since the clutch was dragging. Car would creep forward going into gear and sometimes had to kill the motor to take it out of 1st. i bring it back and they say the clutch is defective. i send it back to california as per their suggestion to get it checked out. ($300+ dollars in shipping i was never reinbursed for) the clutch company said it was completely good. Lamotta reinstalled the same clutch and it no longer drags, so it was install error but they still charged me $400 even though it was due to their incompetence. also when i brought it back the first time, the owner, jake lamotta, gave me a blank stare the whole time along with one word answers as i was explaining what was wrong with the car. As if im the problem, Like im holding up his day and i dont know nothin. Here’s the kicker, to this day, the clutch still doesnt function properly. It stinks like hell anytime a moderate load is put on it. Remember, the clutch wasn’t glazed at all and i did 1000 miles of city break in. Ex. passing someone in 6th gear, punching the throttle at 4k in 4th, would stink like burning clutch. Mind you, this is a 800hp capable clutch (mcleod rst), slipping on my n/a 2015 mustang gt. Lamotta is a joke that puts clutches together with an impact. Stay as far away as you can from this place

Best of the best. Jake and Debbie always have the willingness to answer questions and help when possible. Jake is the only person I trust working on my track Mustang. Always does great work and has an attention to detail. I couldn't recommend Lamotta Performance enough.

They did my rear end gears on my 03 mustang and they did a really well job, they also helped me get the right parts and went they're way in tuning my car and correcting my speedometer, and they were in communication and professional the entire time, I 100% recommend them to anyone and will continue to do business with them.

Owner takes personal time discussing your needs with you, makes a plan with you, gives you recommendations and is honest. I was referred here because several friends on FB classic car pages & my neighbor told me it's the only place they trust. I'm taking my 1966 mustang here in a few days because I believe they are right from the personal attention I've gotten here. Highly recommend. Feel confident it's the best place because they do quality work and perfection is their goal.

I have a daily driver custom car that is also used for racing. It's a very demanding car to work on and I'm the most exacting, difficult person to please when it comes to my car. I cannot tolerate down time, and I want the job done NOW. Jake ALWAYS gets the job done to my satisfaction and within a very reasonable time and that speaks volumes for the quality of his work. Jake has solved problems with this car that nobody else was able to, and I've had some of the best people in the country try their hand at it. Jake is a real thinker, and an absolute GENIUS with this stuff. Without a doubt the best service I have ever received on my car. If you want the finest man available to work on your special car - don't waste your time going anywhere else - go to Jake LaMotta!Services: Tuning
