Who We Are
There is often confusion due to two high-performance engine builders in Kingsport, TN, with similar names. We are Skip White Performance, NOT White Performance and Machine.
Many customers searching for us online mistakenly find them, thinking it's the same company. However, there is no connection between the two. While we respect free enterprise. We feel it's necessary to set the record straight.
We’ve owned White Performance since 2003 we have sold online under the eBay user ID skipwhite and the store name whiteperformance1.
As our business grew, we expanded in 2011, opening a larger warehouse and machine shop on Brookside Ln. in Kingsport, TN. Through dedication and passion, we became the number one street rod engine builder in the nation. Our engine program is unique and unmatched.
Our dedication to building street rods spans many years, and Skip's extensive knowledge has helped grow the business into the number one high performance engine builder in the nation.
We have maintained an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau for years, as well as a very high google review rating.
