Performance Auto Repair & Mach
is hereby recognized as a
TOP GUN Professional Business!
Daniel Drayer, you are considered a champion business owner for building and managing Performance Auto Repair & Mach, an auto mechanical repair company in Washington County.
Small businesses are the backbone of an economy.
The owners of these small businesses are entrepreneurs who often take significant financial and business risks, provide employment opportunities, and contribute their creativity, determination, and ingenuity to the commerce of local communities, towns, cities, and counties. Many business owners work long hours, endure challenging times, and make personal sacrifices in pursuit of their goals.
Our research team at Expansion Support Services, owners of the County Advisory Board, identified Performance Auto Repair & Mach as a business that is appreciated by its customers and provides valuable services throughout Washington County.
The company’s continued success speaks to the dedication, work ethic, and perseverance of Daniel Drayer, who developed a passion for mechanics at a very young age. Daniel began learning about vehicles when he was just 10 years old, helping his father with basic automotive repairs and becoming fascinated with engines and how they worked. That early curiosity eventually developed into a lifelong passion for the automotive industry.
Before opening his own business, Daniel spent more than 20 years working in the oil field industry. Even after long workdays, he continued repairing vehicles in his spare time as both a hobby and side business. While raising his four daughters and supporting their involvement in basketball and other extracurricular activities, Daniel became accustomed to the financial demands of youth sports and family life. After years of balancing full-time work, family responsibilities, and automotive side projects, he recognized an opportunity to turn his passion into a full-time business.
Taking a leap of faith, Daniel made the decision to pursue his dream of business ownership. With the support of his father, who helped him build the shop, Performance Auto Repair & Mach was born. Today, Daniel remains actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the business and continues to provide the hands-on, transparent, customer-first experience that has earned the trust and appreciation of his clients.
We take this moment to acknowledge and thank Daniel Drayer for the past, present, and future contributions that Performance Auto Repair & Mach and its staff have made and will continue to make in Washington County, Ohio.
Daniel’s commitment extends far beyond his business. He proudly supports local law enforcement programs, school sports teams, and charitable organizations that provide bicycles and opportunities for children in the community. His willingness to give back reflects his belief that strong businesses help create stronger communities.
When he is not serving customers, Daniel enjoys gardening, spending time outdoors, and making memories with his seven grandchildren. Whether he is playing games with them, attending family activities, or simply enjoying watching them grow, family remains one of the most important parts of his life.
