About us

With an attitude towards improved service and expert engine engineering, J. Bittle American (JBA) opened for business in 1985. The company has built a unique reputation for building and servicing hundreds of street, custom and race vehicles of all years, makes and models. As cars and trucks evolved from carburetors to sophisticated computer controlled fuel injected systems, J.Bittle American has also continued to provide service and pioneer new innovations to improve vehicle performance and emissions on both older and modern vehicles. One of J.Bittle American’s achievements was inventing the first smog legal “shorty header” back in the late 80's J. Bittle American led the way in innovating new California emissions legal performance products and developed a natural progression to start integrating other aftermarket components to develop complete engine systems that blend performance, reliability and smog legality. Extensive training, know-how, and more than 75 years of collective experience in all levels of racing allows the J. Bittle American staff to offer customers personalized automotive services that can maximize the fun-factor and performance level of your vehicle. Does J. Bittle American know racing and technology? You bet we do. Whether its building the Zoomy headers for Ron Capps' Camaro Funny car or setting a land speed record for Ford Motor Company in a J. Bittle American built 2001 Focus, the company is a leader in technology. The equipment we employ at our JBA Performance Center in San Diego, California, is not always available to the average shop or gear head. JBA Performance Center is outfitted with the latest in high-tech tuning and diagnostic equipment to provide the highest level service available. Our DynoDynamics chassis dynamometer and DTS Powermark engine dynamometer, enable it to safely and effectively tune vehicles for peak performance. The pros at JBA Performance Center know racing. It’s this kind of competition that gives the staff the knowledge to enhance, engineer, or maintain a custom power package, driveline, or suspension for your car, truck or SUV. Visit the JBA Performance Center showroom to see what we can do for your ride, hot-rod, restoration or race car today.

g.They told me my engine needed a new 600 dollar carburetor.When i picked up the car it ran the same way.I called the manager and told him the car ran the same and he advised me to go check the timing.I ask isnt that what you should have done and he was rude to me.I took the car some where else and my motor had the wrong parts on it and thats why it was running bad.I called the manager of JBA back and again he was rude and short with me when i told him it never needed a carburetor.They would not give me my money back and i took the car to another shop that fixed the problem.I paid JBA for nothing.
Description of Work: I had my new engine Checked out for a flat spot and dyno tuned.
