Jeeps & 4x4s
Shocks & Lifts

We specialise in rugged Jeeps and rock-crawlers optimised for rough and rocky terrain. Keep your vehicle--and most importantly, yourself--safe for off-road adventures.

Need a Lift?

Suspension lifts can improve your vehicle's offroad driveability, allowing them to traverse steep, loose, and/or rocky terrain that stock suspension systems just can't handle. Whether you make frequent treks off-road or are looking to turn your truck or Jeep into a rock-crawler, it's imperative that you choose the appropriate type of lift for your vehicle and install it properly to avoid damage and safety hazards. Your vehicle's suspension, shocks/struts, axles, drivetrains, and/or driveshafts must all be balanced and optimized to get the most out of your lift system. Our team is equipped with all the latest tools and machinery to recommend the most efficient build for your vehicle, and ensure your lifts are installed correctly and safely, so you can tackle the road without worrying about losing your wheels.

Your Local Jeep and 4x4 Headquarters!

  In 1979, my parents, Bill & Jeannine Ratzlaff, purchased what was then known as Palo Verde Automotive. As their business grew, so too did their success; and they proudly served their community by providing reliable and afforable auto services.

  In 2001, after more than twenty years in the industry, the Ratzlaffs decided to sell the business and retire, freeing their time to do some traveling and enjoy the life they had built. Though they enjoyed their retirement, Bill missed turning wrenches; and so, in 2005, they purchased a garage in Show Low, AZ with their son Toby. This second shop became Performance Auto & 4X4 Center.

  In July of 2010, Bill & Jeannine re-acquired their first business, Palo Verde Automotive. They relocated back here to Tucson, and with the help of myself and my cousin David, rebuilt the business to its former glory. Due to the prior sale of the shop, its name had to change; this is how PV Auto & Performance Center came to be.

  Here we are, nine years later, still going strong! Bill & Jeannine retired for the 2nd time in January of 2019 and are loving every minute of it. This time, the business will stay in the family. My cousin David and I are the proud new owners of PV Auto & Performance Center. We look forward to helping you with all of your car needs and wants. We love our community and we love what we do. Thank you to all our clients who have stuck with us over the past 40 years. God Bless!!!
