About Barnhardt Performance
Veteran-owned. Passion-driven. Built on over 20 years of hands-on performance expertise.
Our Story
Barnhardt Performance was born out of a deep-rooted passion for automobiles and an unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship. Founded by Trent Barnhardt, a military veteran with over two decades of hands-on automotive experience, our shop represents the intersection of discipline, expertise, and genuine enthusiasm for performance vehicles.
We take pride in restoring vintage beauties to their former glory, preserving the soul of the car while enhancing its reliability and performance. But our work extends far beyond restoration — we build custom engines designed for raw horsepower, tune fuel injection and carburetor systems for peak efficiency, and fabricate chassis modifications that push the boundaries of what's possible.
Located in the heart of Bloomer, Wisconsin, we serve fellow automotive enthusiasts within a 60-mile radius. From our very first day, our mission has been simple: deliver results that exceed expectations, one vehicle at a time.
Our Values
As a veteran-owned business, we bring the core principles of military service into everything we do: integrity, discipline, and an uncompromising attention to detail.
Quality Craftsmanship
No shortcuts, no compromises. We build it right the first time because your vehicle deserves nothing less.
Passion for Performance
We're not just technicians — we're enthusiasts who share your excitement for power, speed, and precision.
Integrity & Honesty
Transparent pricing, honest assessments, and realistic timelines. We earn your trust through actions, not words.
Relationship-Driven
Our customers are neighbors, friends, and fellow enthusiasts. We invest in relationships that last.
Our Approach
At Barnhardt Performance, we believe in building relationships as strong as our engines. Our customers aren't just clients — they're fellow enthusiasts, neighbors, and friends. We take the time to listen, understand your goals, and offer honest advice backed by decades of experience.
No matter the make, model, or condition, we approach each job with the same goal: to deliver results that exceed expectations. Whether you're chasing a specific horsepower number, preparing a vehicle for competition, or looking to enhance the daily driving experience, we bring the same level of passion and precision to every project.
We understand that trusting someone with your vehicle — especially a performance build or custom project — is a big decision. That's why we prioritize clear communication throughout the entire process, keeping you informed at every stage so there are never any surprises.
