The Journey To Paradise-Performance

Routine Auto Maintenance

Wayne Wilder founded Paradise-Performance after 27 years in corporate sales, asking “what is my value to my family and community?” The business grew from a father-son hobby to a full-service dealership and repair shop focused on integrity and quality.

Faith-Based Used Car Dealership

At Paradise-Performance, we are a faith-based, family-owned business dedicated to providing high-quality used vehicles, vehicle servicing & European auto repair serving Dallas, Denton & Fort-Worth (or from anywhere else) drivers – Stop by today! We’re not your typical used car lot. Every vehicle on our lot has been thoroughly inspected by the same technicians who service customer cars daily. We know these vehicles inside and out because we’ve been under their hoods.

Our approach is simple: we sell cars we’d put our own families in. No salvage titles, no hidden problems, no pressure tactics. Each vehicle comes with a complete inspection report and service history. If something needs attention, we fix it before it hits the lot or tell you exactly what to expect.

Building trust isn’t just good business – it’s the right thing to do. Whether you need reliable transportation for work or a safe vehicle for your teenager, we’ll help you find the right fit for your budget and needs. And unlike those big dealerships, we’ll still wave when we see you around town.

Our business is founded on faith and family values. We operate with the understanding that integrity matters in every transaction and service we provide.

“My wife Robin has always stood by me. Apart from Jesus, she’s my rock. We share everything when it comes to our faith, our ideas, and the type of life we want for our family.” – Wayne Wilder

Our business runs on a simple principle: treat others the way we’d want to be treated. Sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how rare that is in the auto industry. My wife Robin and I didn’t set out to revolutionize car repair. We just wanted to create the kind of shop we’d been looking for ourselves – one where you’re not just another invoice number, where someone actually listens to that weird noise your car’s been making, and where “I don’t know, let me find out” is an acceptable answer.

Every morning, our team starts with the same commitment: do right by our customers, even when nobody’s watching. That means calling you if we find something unexpected instead of just fixing it and surprising you with the bill. It means suggesting the repair that makes sense for your situation, not just the one with the highest margin. Sometimes it even means telling you to wait on a repair if it’s not critical yet.
