WE ENJOY INSTALLING AND UPGRADING YOUR RIDE TO PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. WARRANTIES ON ALL PERFORMANCE AND OEM PARTS WILL BE STRICTLY BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND MANUFACTURER. THERE ARE TOO MANY VARIABLES IN PLAY FOR OUR SHOP TO GUARANTEE THESE PARTS AND ACCESSARIES. IN ADDITION, WE ARE A DRIVE TRAIN SERVICE SPECIALTY SHOP AND NOT AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THOUGH WE OFFER AUTO AND TRUCK SERVICING....BY BEING A SPECIALTY SHOP, WE CAN AND WILL TAKE THE TIME TO SERVICE YOUR RIDE THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE, NOT JUST INSTALLING PARTS AND ACCESSORIES WITHOUT CLEANING AND INSPECTING THE OLD PARTS TO DETERMINE THE REAL CAUSE OF THE PART FAILURE. WE DO NOT WORK WITH AN "ASSEMBLY LINE MENTALITY." TAKING PRIDE IN PROVIDING A GOOD PRODUCT TO EVERYONE IS WHAT WE DO. ROBERTS' FAMILY MOTORSPORTS IS A SMALL SHOP WITH NO "BELLS AND WHISTLES." WORKING BY THE JOB AND NOT BY THE CLOCK, WE CAN OFFER JOB RATES THAT ARE VERY COST EFFECTIVE. "WE TREAT YOUR RIDE AS IF IT WERE OUR OWN."
AS YOU WILL SEE, WE PROVIDE PERFORMANCE OEM UPGRADES FOR MOST APPLICATIONS AT VERY COMPETITIVE PRICES!!! OUR GOAL IS TO SAVE YOU 15%-20% OFF OF NORMAL REPAIR SHOP RATES!!!

Roberts' Family Motorsports has FINANCING AVAILABLE and will go the extra mile to insure that you receive the best price for your ride's OEM or High Performance update.
If you want a different kind of Hot Rod, we can build it for you!!!
A good tip to help your gas mileage is to keep your ride clean and waxed. A slick surface will flow through the air better!!!
Here are some tips to help your ride gain some gas mileage. Keep your ride's engine tuned up. Spark plugs fire multiple thousands of times through their life cycle. Tuning up your engine every 18 months will keep your Spark Plugs fresh and firing in good order. In addition, changing your oil every 3000 miles and insuring your air filter is cleaned or replaced will also help gain some gas mileage. Finally, make sure your tires are inflated properly. Less rolling resistance helps gain some gas mileage too.
Insure that when your "CHECK ENGINE" light comes on, you have your ride checked out as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in lower gas mileage, a rough running engine and in some cases, castestrophic engine damage. When you see the light come on it is giving you a warning that something is not right with your engine. The sooner you get it checked out, the better it will be on your check book!!!
Roberts' Family Motorsports has Racing Apparel available. If you need Helmets, Fire Suits, Jackets, Gloves, Shoes, Saftey Belts and more, we have access to a host of items that you may need for your Hot Rod. Contact us at our Race Shop @ 317.496.2122 or stop by and we will set you up with what you need.
We offer complete performance Tune-ups on your High Performance Ride at very competitive prices!!!
This Beautiful Ride had a complete differential upgrade for performance and cruising!!!

Here is a most recent project. 1984 400 Turbo Transmission. This transmission was hand-carried into our shop for a complete overhaul. The transmission clutches and seals were totally gone. This picture shows the transmission about 50% complete with all new Reybestos Clutches, Steels and with all new Seals.
This is a picture of the front pump on the 400 Turbo Transmission. We have also added a new TransGo Shift Kit to the Valve Body and have Doubled the Front Pump Pressure to insure good durability under extreme use. We were asked to install this transmission back into the farm truck. To date, this transmission is performing very good. In fact, we seen the farm truck towing a 25 foot trailer loaded with hay bails. Durability is the name of the game when building transmissions.

Late Model GM, Ford and Chrysler Electronic Transmissions will include new shift and pressure switches. Prices start at $995. Removal and installation are extra.
Below is new photos of a project we recently had in our shop. A beautiful 1992 Mitsubishi 3000VR4 3.0 Ltr. Twin Turbo Little Monster!!! We will fill you in on all of the details on the updates we performed on this ride soon. We were very fortunate to have this car in our shop!!!
The Owner stopped by with his beautiful Twin Turbo Mitsubishi to go over the High Performance updates he wanted. After a lengthy discussion, we were very Humbled when he asked us to perform the updates on his Ride.
Here is the Twin Turbo Rocket sitting in our Race Shop awaiting the updates the owner requested. We were Humbled having this fantastic Ride in our Race Shop!!!
A Complete Tune-up with High Performance Spark Plug Wires, Performance Spark Plugs and more were completed on this Twin Turbo Rocket. The Plenum was removed and thoroughly cleaned along with the throttle body and then secured with gaskets made from Felpro's 3157 gasket material. A new high flow air tube was installed too. A complete ground wire kit was installed after this picture was taken. The ground kit helps the entire drive train components to obtain peak power for better performance. A light weight aluminum crankshaft pulley was installed eliminating the heavy OEM pulley. Numerous other High Performance items were installed including updating the driveshaft that eliminated a noticeable vibration at acceloration and cruising speed. Finally, the engine was given a fresh bath with Royal Purple 10W30 Synthetic Oil. This Twin Turbo Rocket is very unique and one that we are very pleased with the Performance additions. Most important, we are very Humbled that the Owner of this fantastic Ride allowed us to update his beautiful Ride in our Race Shop.
This 4X4 Monster was brought to us to update some of the motor components. We will fill you in on the status of the updates when we get the extra time. Don't laugh at the looks. When this monster is finished, it will be fantastic!!! The owner has big plans for this 4X4. This is a work in progress. One thing for sure is, the suspension has been done right.
To date, we have removed the heads, cleaned and checked for faults. The Valve Springs were replaced with a High Performance Set from LUNATI. New valve seals were installed along with a new set of Felpro Gaskets. An updated Holley Carburetor will provide the fuel delivery. There is more updates planned, but for now, we are trying to get this monster to roar like a lion instead of mis-firing and non-responsive. We have enjoyed working on this monster and are looking forward to the day when a new body and paint don's this massive suspension!!!
The Monster 4X4 is running and roaring down the roads. Though more work needs to be done to the Valve Train and Engine, we hope that the owner has great times with this Monster. We road tested this Monster over some rough terrain to see if there was any hesitation in the engine after the upgrades. It performed great!!!
Here is a New Process 435 that was brought to our Race Shop for an Overhaul. After a complete cleaning and inspection, we decided that a special High Performance upgrade with heavy duty parts were needed for this application out of a one ton dually truck. A thorough cleaning and parts inspection was completed before a fresh coat of paint was applied.
Special High Performance gears were ordered up replacing the worn out gears. High Performance heavy duty brass synchros with heavy duty springs were installed putting this tranny right in the High Performance arena ready to take on the heavy loads the customer will be hauling.
Here is the completed High Performance New Process 435 transmission ready to be installed in the customer's one ton dually truck.
