All Canadian Speed Shop since 1964
In the auto parts business for over 50 years, Performance Improvements prides ourselves on serving the needs of our customer. As car guys ourselves, we know the frustration of laying in the driveway missing the part we need to get back on the road! We try to help you take home all the parts you need to actually install that item on your car. Henry Stancu wrote a nice article about the beginning of P.I. in the Toronto Star:
Auto-parts firm built on blind faith and fast cars
Bob McJannett's passion for customizing hotrods, along with his wife's support, made Performance Improvements a 50-year success story.Henry Stancu Toronto Star for Wheels.ca
Canadian Family-Owned Speed Shop
In 1964 a young Bob McJannett, tired of buying his performance auto parts from shady characters in dirty garages, opened his own speed shop. (With his girlfriend Susan's money!) 45 years later, this family-run Canadian business is still going strong, as is Bob & Susan's marriage!
Originally located at the corner of Kipling and the Queensway, Performance Improvements ("the Modern Hot Rod Shop") was a part-time job for Bob. His goal in selling Carburetors, Manifolds, Mufflers, Wheels, and Tires to fellow car enthusiasts was simply to make enough money to cover the rent. Success came as a result of the commitment to customer service, standing by every product sold with a no-hassle 30 day return policy.
Over fifty years later, Performance Improvements has seven locations across southern Ontario and in Quebec, including our Warehouse Superstore at 87 Advance Road, Etobicoke, Ontario M8Z 2S6. These locations stock performance auto parts and accessories from major manufacturers including Edelbrock, B&M, Holley, Royal Purple Synthetic Oil, Flowmaster, Spectre Performance, MSD Ignition, Hurst Shifters, AutoMeter Gauges, Mr. Gasket, PlastiDip, K&N Performance Filters, Lumens H.I.D Headlights, Proform Performance and more.

30 Day Return Policy
We stand behind everything we sell. Our no hassle return policy gives you peace of mind with every auto parts purchase from Performance Improvements. Almost anything you buy from us, you can return within 30 days for exchange, credit or refund if it is unused. All we ask is that you keep the packaging intact & have your receipt, standard restocking charge of twenty-five percent will be applied. Exceptions are if you have installed the part or we special-ordered the part in for you. Transmissions, Engines and Wheel & Tire packages are non-cancellable.
Help With Warranties
We're here to assist you with any warranty issues. A warranty means nothing if the shop you bought it from makes you deal with it on your own. Performance Improvements has relationships with all the major automotive aftermarket manufacturers. When our customers have a problem, we help them until it's resolved.
No Excessive Duty, Brokerage "Handling" Charges
No Summit Surprise! Canadians buying from the big American mail-order companies have learned the hard way that the price they see on the screen, is not the price they pay when it get's to the door. Shipping & "Handling" charges, Duty, Brokerage Fees and Taxes all end up making the price vastly higher than the original number. Summit Racing has finally updated their shopping cart to show customers the various shipping charges they will be facing: Shipping Charge, Tax & Duty, then an Additional Shipping Charge, and finally a Delivery and Handling Charge! Don't forget
