About us

Our company

 

Protege Garage LLC started in 2002 with the goal of helping Protege owners modify and upgrade their cars.  With the release of the Mazda3, the company soon expanded to encompass and develop product for the full range of Mazda vehicles.  As we enter the new decade, Protege Garage is proud of its continued partnerships with companies such as AWR, Split Second, Bell Engineering, Autobarn Motorsports and Liberty Mazda as well as our own growing fabrication and development programs to bring new and exciting product to the table.
Protege Garage has a proud list of “firsts” spearheading development on the Mazda and Mazdaspeed platforms;
first and best dyno proven tubular manifold upgrade for the Mazdaspeed 2.3
first engine management upgrade for the Mazdaspeed 2.3
most reliable engine mount packages for the Mazdaspeed 2.3

fastest and highest dyno proven stock engine Mazdaspeed6
lead sponsor of the first and only 300hp Mazda5 track car
lead sponsor of Abbate Motorsports
proud sponsor and partner of Orange County Chopper's Annual All Mazda Meet
We've spent the last eight years dedicated to Mazda Performance, and will continue to for the future.
