I've worked with Aleks Doba and the Alekshop team for many years as an industry partner, and they're one of the best in the region at preparing Porsches for the track. Among the select few shops I refer for safety, suspension, and aero upgrades, Alekshop consistently stands out for their dedication and expertise. Equipped with the latest alignment equipment, they specialize in track alignments, corner balancing, and custom suspension setups. Aleks and his close-knit team regularly attend track events with their clients, giving them the firsthand knowledge needed to deliver upgrade packages that work. If you're looking to enhance your Porsche's track performance, Alekshop is an excellent choice. read more

Bummer. I reached out to Alek back in May 2023 for an E46 M3 SMG to Manual Conversion. We corresponded both through email and phone and I agreed to move forward with the quoted amount. Gave them my credit card over the phone and then, radio silence! Absolutely nothing. I followed up with multiple emails, voicemail, and still nothing. I'm seriously baffled by the lack of communication and unprofessionalism. With a plan of spending thousands of dollars at this shop and then to receive this type of treatment is seriously disappointing. I should've listen to my intuition when I first called the shop and it was a Google voice number. I echo same of comments that others mentioned. Be careful trusting this business. I understand things happen, but actions speak loud! No professional courtesy to acknowledge or respond to my several inquiries. read more

Aleks is the guy that does exactly what you ask on the car without trying to oversell you the extra thousands of dollars of parts you don't need. His work has been meticulous and his domain knowledge has made the car handle like a dream on the track (we are talking record setting pace)... Highly recommend for all Porsche GT owners in the bay - all the good work without the hype! read more

I needed to do a steering wheel swap, and I have some upcoming work for much more. What I can say: - Aleks is direct, fair, and extremely knowledgeable - He answered my (many) questions promptly - His prices are fair I've seen so many high end cars with Alekshop license plates, and now I know why they all come to him! read more

Aleks, Paul, and Kevin were great. Took my 911 for an alignment and corner balance. They were very thorough in explaining everything and answered all my questions. My car is now transformed and drives so much better now. Kudos! read more

I heard about Alekshop on a few of the BMW Forums and everyone seemed to really like this place. I recently purchased a new BMW M3 F80 and had Alek and his crew install H&R Super Sport Springs, 12MM spacers and perform an alignment. Paul and Alek were very helpful and did a great job! The car looks awesome! I also noticed that Alekshop works on Porsche's so I will have to start coming here with my 997S as well! I highly recommend Alekshop! read more

Alekshop - Paul did a great job installing my H&R Super Sport Springs on my 2017 F80! - Auto Repair Near Me - Fremont, California

I brought my M3 to Alekshop to have their Rear and Front camera system installed with the Multimedia unit. Got the system installed, got the rearview camera, didn't get the front camera (didn't have available), and the multimedia unit can only be used as a rearview camera with F***** up angle! I questioned him on his advertisement per his website! He repeatedly kept saying this would only work as a backup camera, I said "Well, that is not what you are advertising!" Now he doesn't pick up my calls through Google connect, don't go to this shop, he will ripe you off. Save you your money, find another shop that will do a better job! I paid over 1K and didn't get what I wanted and it's just really bad service, they don't stand behind their product! read more

Just got done getting my Akrapovic exhaust system put on my car, and must say I am very impressed with this shop. It came highly recommended. Aleks owner of the shop is real cool down to earth guy that I had pleasure to meet, and the techs are also really nice and professional. The work is top knotch. I have brought my car to other shops with many disappointments, but this place blew my expectations. I will return for all of my future work. Thanks!!! read more

Alekshop - Getting my Akrapovic exhaust installed! - Auto Repair Near Me - Fremont, California

The Alekshop crew were able to squeeze in my 991.2 exhaust install on short notice. Quality of work was great and they also took the time to resolve issues left behind by other shops. Will be back soon! read more

My car was stolen on Christmas and then recovered. I went to Alekshop for inspection. I asked for full inspection in advance detailed to suspension and brake and they agreed. But what they actually did was just OBD scan and visual inspection(only cosmetic)overall just 10min. Yet they charged it for $500. Honestly I could have done OBD scan myself at home. They told me car was fine but later on was found brake failure at the other shop. Tried to contact Alekshop but got no response from them. Really disappointed and please avoid. read more

I recently had a rear backup camera installed in my car. My inquiries about product compatibility, features and scheduling were responded to promptly. The shop is clean and installation was done in a timely fashion. I opted to wait at the shop, although they did offer to drive me over to Starbucks while they worked on my car. My car looked EXACTLY like it did when I brought it in - no dings, no dents, no scratches, no errant bits of wiring debris left in my car. Nothing rattles in the dash or center console that didn't rattle before. To date, the camera does exactly what it's supposed to and I'm very pleased with the work. We did have one minor communication mishap that was rectified fairly quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alekshop to anyone looking to get aftermarket parts installed in their performance vehicle. read more

I bought a vehicle from Aleks, long distance, without ever seeing the car in-person. The car arrived here, exactly as-described and he was professional and easy to work with! read more

I came here for a rear camera. The installer was friendly and it looks like a pretty clean install from the outside. But there were some issues with the camera. First, after shifting from reverse the video signal was lost for 20 seconds before I could see any of the car's normal displays again (GPS, menus, etc.). Second, the image is very low to the street, nothing like the view a normal backup would give you. When the installation was finished the guy couldn't reach Alek, the owner, but he said Alek would email me my receipt. But he didn't. I called and emailed and did finally get a call back from Alek saying I could fix the problem with the loss of video signal in the settings but it was too complicated to explain over the phone and he would email me the manual. But he never did. I have called and emailed repeatedly (it's been a week now) and still have no receipt or owner's manual, nor an answer to the question about the poor angle of the camera. This was an expensive camera and install, but it would have been worth it to get a good quality product and good service, but that is not what I have received. I messed around with the settings myself and was able to fix the problem with the video signal, but I'm still unhappy with the angle of the camera, and I feel that I'm going to be stuck with that or return the whole thing and get a system somewhere else. read more

I have visited Alek Shop since he used to be in Pleasanton. About 6-7 years ago. He installed my back up camera in 2009 and multimedia mod. Both work great. No issues. I have visited other shops for simple issues before and Alek has always had the best quality work. He doesn't hire help at $11/hr to rotate and balance tires. I visit the shop often as I have 3 M cars and he has worked on all 3. When ever I show up, I have never seen him in his office sitting in a chair. He usually has his head in side a BMW or Porsche. Never tries to up sell. He is very busy and you will need to make an appt. His prices are very low compared to others. He does this by not having additional office staff. Him and a couple of mechanics. read more

UPDATE: Alex contacted me a week or so later after I posted my initial review to apologize and offer a replacement unit which solved the problem. However, still sucks that I had to resort to bad reviews to get attentions. read more

Since my initial review, I've returned the cameras. Alekshop hasn't returned ANY of the money. I'll send him a demand letter and then probably report this to the better business bureau and, if necessary, the small claims court in Freemont, CA. If that happens, I'll seek attorneys' fees and court costs along with the direct damages. I wonder how he'll answer a judge: "So, Mr. Dovbnya, why do you think that it's okay to keep the money and the returned item as a means to unjustly enrich yourself?" read more

Excellent and honest service! I've known Alek for a few years and he's just a great guy! He's a huge car enthusiast and his work reflects this. Just installed an M-performance steering wheel, with perfect installation. Alek will be working on all my suspension and brake upgrades. Helluva shop! Keep up the great work! read more

Carlsen Porsche charged me $100 to tell me that the check engine light came from a O2 sensor fault and I should change them all for $3500. They didn't even bother to check and tell me which sensors are bad and just wanted to take my money. I towed the car to Alekshop and Aleks found out it was just a bad fuse. Saved me $3500 which replacing the sensors wouldn't have helped because the fuse wold still cause the check engine light. Aleks took my car in on short notice and stayed late to finish it for me so I can sell my car to the new owner Saturday. He saved my sale while Carlsen and Stevens Creek Porsche almost ruined my sale. read more

There's shops that come and go in the Bay Area. I've been a car fanatic since I was a teen and have spent a lot of time around key shops in the Bay Area tuning a lot of different types of cars. There are a rare few that I would ever consider writing a 5-Star rating for, and Alekshop is among those few. Aleks' mode of operating his business is simple: he personally looks after his customer's car and his customer. This means that his shop doesn't get packed with 10 customers at once asking him when their car will be finished. He handles each and every car individually and works within the timeline of the customer. His honesty and dedication to solving problems has earned him a solid reputation among the local and international customers, especially in the BMW community. His partnership with key businesses fosters his ability to provide the best and most advanced services around to his customers. Why is my review so positive? Aleks is responsible for making my 2008 M3 feel like a 2011.75. Everything about my car feels new again including the navigation system, which he retrofitted to latest and greatest that BMW offers. He's also responsible for the installation of my exhaust, my ECU tune, countless front lips, rear taillight retrofit, and rear PDC retrofit. There's much more to come as well. Sometimes I scratch my head wondering how it's possible, but this is truly a honest business that is founded upon a genuine enthusiasm for fantastic performance and beautiful looking automobiles. Aleks is a trustworthy person that cares about the product he delivers as well as your ultimate impression of his work. Naturally 5-stars or more if I could. read more

I trust VERY few people with working on my E46 M3, and Aleks simply does fantastic work. In addition to being a BMW genius, Aleks is a great guy - he treats the cars he works on as if they were his, and his customers like family. In addition to a few other electrical fixes, I had him build my custom Valentine 1 in-mirror setup about a month ago, which is PHENOMENAL. He provided me with a loaner mirror while he was doing the build, and then, since I live and work in Southern California, he drove down here and I met him at his buddy's shop, where I watched and helped him with the install. I'm more than happy to shell out the cash to have him working on my car - the prices he charges absolutely reflect the superior quality of his work. Won't go anywhere else for work on my car if I can avoid it - Alekshop FTW! read more

I brought my 335d here on a few recommendations after the dealer had my car for a whole week (with full factory warranty) and failed to resolve a problem with the rear of my car wobbling while driving. This wobbling was driving me mad. Aleks found an issue with my subframe and fixed it same day along with installing my 19s and an alignment. Boy was I happy that he found what the problem was and fixed it. My car drives much better and I don't have to worry about the rear bouncing or wobbling over bumps. Aleks is cool, very knowledgable and seems honest. His shop is super clean and I was impressed with the nice M cars he was working on. The dealer is a joke. This is the place to bring your BMW if you want it diagnosed and/or looked at properly. I'll be coming back for some more work/mods to be added in the future. read more

Alex is an honest and hard working guy who doesn't believe in chitchat with you rather show you his craft and an amazing knowledge of how things works and what would you like to have done basic and simple. He lowered my Ferrari 599 GTB to HGTC specs and I couldn't be happier with the result. I just sold the car and the dealership service manager said its was done just like the factory specs. As we all know how Ferrari service mofie works nothing and no one is good enough for them. Hats off to Alex and his crew keep up the good work and I sure to bring you something else soon. Cheers read more

Finally had the chance to visit Alekshop to get some work done on my E60 M5. Although I have known Aleks for a while, I never had a chance to have him perform any work on my car. Recently though, my car's brakes had been consistently squeaking, got them inspected, and it turns out my rotors were pretty much at their minimum thickness. Immediately I contacted Aleks to setup an appointment to install new brake rotors and brake pads. Aleks was very flexible with my schedule excellent with communication. His shop completed the job in a timely manner and even allowed me to observe the work and check out some of the other jobs he had going on. A week after the successful swap, he even followed up with me to check in to see how things were going. Of course, the new rotors have been performing wonderfully and no squeaking! There was actually another time when I visited Alekshop when one of my lugbolts had snapped. Aleks was able to quickly assess the issue and luckily it was a very quick fix with no drilling required. No doubt saving me a pretty penny compared to if I had gone to the dealership to address! You can always expect to see a nice collection of BMWs, GTR's, and other performance vehicles at Alekshop, thus help solidifying the fact that Alekshop is one of the most professional and trustworthy indy shops in the area. They also have quite a few of their own impressive project cars, including a S65 stroker! In addition, Alekshop will also have private track days for its customers to enjoy. A+ in my book for Alekshop. Keep up the great work!! read more

Easier than easy. I emailed Aleks for a labor quote, and he promptly replied within a few hours. He gave me a great price, and from there on I scheduled an appointment. Once I got to the shop, Aleks was very welcoming and made me feel right at home. The waiting area is clean and organized, with fast WIFI. Time flew by like nothing since I was able to get some work done. That's a HUGE difference compared to other performance oriented shops, where they make you feel like a second-class citizen and wait in a dungeon. As for the work itself, Alekshop is top-notch. They finished faster than I expected, with incredible attention to detail. Now I know why people trust Aleks and his crew with their expensive European sports cars - they are the utmost professionals and take care of this customers. Thanks Aleks, you have earned my business going forward! read more

I generally like to support the local shop with my aftermarket needs. I spread the business around to all the shop I've had a great experience with. I've had lots of bad experience in other shop and I'm not mention any name for sake of keeping the peace. So about Alekshop, Aleks run a very clean shop with all new equipment with state of the art modern tools. They do the job and make sure that it's done correctly. Not only that he takes care of you but follow up with you to make sure that the job was to your satisfaction. If you ever get a chance to meet Aleks, at the track or meet him in person. He's will and ready to share with you advice about your car and tips on the track. Aleks have lots of track experience and that get transfer to his work on your car. I just came back from Laguna and the setup Aleks hooked me up make my car much more enjoyable. For that thank you for always taking care of me. read more

Went to Aleks to get a full slate of performance parts and full clear bra installed on a new F80 M3. Was beyond impressed with the quality and turnaround time on the work. Parts were installed without issues and clearbra was outstanding with minimal seams. Aleks was able to accommodate a very tight timeline without sacrifices in quality or upcharges. Aleks is extremely knowledgeable on all BMWs from e30s to f80s. I'd recommend consulting his advice to get helpful insight prior to getting any work done. He's up to speed on the newest technologies and enhancements (including some custom proprietary items R&D from his shop) and can always recommend something to bring your car to the next level from either an aesthetic or performance point of view. I will definitely be back for more work. Recommended to all! Thanks again Aleks! read more

Had our X5 rear view camera installed today. very please with it so far. highly recommended .. Alex..we got more works for you in the near future . BTW, the price match his work , ~1200 for the job...in my opinion . He deserves it.! read more

Aleks is a great guy to work with. A true car enthusiast who is both very responsive over phone and email, but who also goes out of his way to accommodate your schedule. I heard about Alekshop on a M3 forum where he had nothing but positive feedback from Bay Area M owners. I just had a simple wheel powder coat done and some new tires to go with it, so its not like I was dropping a ton of money at his shop. None the less I got treated like I was a priority. The wheels came out looking amazing, and the new tires make the car feel like a whole new animal (in no small part due to Aleks correct mounting and balancing). I never thought there would be much difference in the way my car felt just by virtue of a tire mount and balance, but now I'm a believer. For any and all mods to my mechanical baby, this is where I'll be bringing her in. read more

I had been meaning to visit Aleks for awhile, but I didn't know that he moved to Fremont from Pleasanton. I finally had the pleasure of meeting Aleks a few weeks ago and I will not be taking my car anywhere else to have work done. Now that I have visited his shop, I would have been willing to drive the extra stretch to Pleasanton to have him work on my car. Aleks is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and it really shows. Aleks lives and works by the motto "If you aren't going to do something right, it isn't worth doing". I can honestly say that I truly believe this is the case with him as showcased by his M3 GTS build. Aleks is a really friendly guy and eager to help with whatever project you may have in mind. I think he has me close to pulling the trigger on a set of BBS FI even though I already have 2 sets of wheels Great guy that does great work and can source some hard to find, rare parts. I wouldn't hesitate to send ANYONE to him regardless of what kind of car they have and what they plan to do to it. read more

I have purchased many parts from Alekshop over the years for my BMW's and have always had great service. I appreciate the no BS approach Aleks has when it comes to modifying cars with aftermarket parts. From retail to custom Alekshop has it all. I Just purchased ESS Tuning software for my new M4 and could not be happier. Thanks guys ! read more

Aleks and the guys at Alekshop are totally awesome! I had been lagging on getting my KW's put on my Allroad, but decided to goto Aleks since I'd heard a lot of good things about the shop. I dropped the car off in the morning and talked to Paul about approximate changes in height. Later that afternoon, I came back to the shop and we tweaked the ride height a few times before it was just to my liking. A quick alignment later, I was good to go. Again, thanks to Aleks and the crew! Super appreciate the professionalism and patience to make it perfect for me! read more

Alekshop - Thanks to Aleks and crew for getting me sitting right! - Auto Repair Near Me - Fremont, California

I have been a customer since 2011, starting with modifications to my 2011 E90 M3, to today, where Alekshop is servicing my Porsche GT3. The shop has grown significantly and expanded their capabilities significantly over that time, with one variable remaining consistent throughout; Aleks and his crew are always focused on quality of work and will go above and beyond to ensure that you are satisfied. Aleks is a true car enthusiast and treats your vehicle with the same care as if it was his own. It also helps that he has significant experience settings up the various vehicles for specific applications (e.g. track, autocross, street, etc.), which allows him to make great recommendations on components and services needed. Aleks also has a network of local suppliers and distributors, and can find items that are rare or out of stock elsewhere. Recently, I had a track event coming up and needed a new set of Micheline Cup 2 tires, which were sold out at Tirerack and the Porsche Dealers. Aleks was not only able to find a set from a local distributor, but was also willing to stay late and setup the car with the tires and alignment for the upcoming event. Alekshop is truly a great shop, with a sterling reputation, excellent customer service and very high quality of work. Highly recommended! read more

I decided on Akrapovic for my M3's exhaust & went with Alekshop in Fremont. Owner Aleks D. personally handled everything from start to finish. Aleks even joined in on the installation. Staff & ownership seem clearly enthusiastic about their craft & it shows. Thank you Aleks, I'll be back. read more

Purchased and had them install front and rear camera kit. Front camera failed twice. The second time I can't even have them call me back. Horrible customer service. read more

A premier BMW (and others manufacturers) tuning + performance shop in the Bay Area. I have brought two of my E90 M3's to Alekshop and his work is impeccable. Extremely knowledgeable, easy to deal with, no B.S., and very appreciative of his clients; he remembers you and your car regardless if you are there a regularly or every couple years. I appreciate pristine shops (like Alekshop and Phaedrus) and you can literally eat off the floors of his garage; it's that clean. He's usually has a couple projects going on so you get to drool over his projects while your car gets worked on. He also has a high-tech alignment rack so you know he's performing precision work on your car. Also, check out the feature on Alekshop 1M in May 2013 Bimmer Magazine! read more

Brought a e92 m3 for PPi few years back. Paid the full cost for it and requested to keep the details to me only. Alex promised but still disclose to the seller. So why do I pay the full cost to begin with?? read more

I've got a 2009 M3 that I do very small changes to every year. Just got done my Akrapovic exhaust system put on my car my my car guy, and must say I am very impressed with this shop. Love the sound. read more

If you have a BMW and if you want to make it even more awesome than it already is... go talk to Aleks! He knows pretty much everything there is to know about tuning BMWs! I took my E90 M3 in and it was a world of difference in the car before and after (two different track events for comparison)! On top of that, Aleks is just a cool guy. He tracks his crazy M3 GTS so his insights into BMW performance driving is invaluable if you're into that stuff. He's given me plenty of pointers for the tracks in the area and has helped me learn more about my car than anyone I know. He's simply a great guy!! read more

Brought my alfa romeo 4C in for alignment. Again, great work ! These guys KNOW what they are doing. Highly recommended ! read more

Update on my previous post! Finally !!!! It took 3 Techs and 1 week (after stripping my dash board and rear panels) from BMW to confirm the cause of the vehicle not recognizing my keyfob after my aftermarket backup camera was installed. The master technician at BMW in Concord concluded that the aftermarket backup camera module is interfering with the factory comfort access signal. As a result, I'm losing the range for the signal. They can not unlock and lock my doors from literally 1 foot away from the vehicle. That explained why the vehicle can only recognize my keys when the keyfob is positioned next to the steering wheel column. The dealer also further demonstrated that when the aftermarket backup camera module is unplugged from the head unit, They can unlock and lock my doors from 15 feet away. Viola!!!!!!! I had spoken with Aleks while my vehicle was still in the shop pending final confirmation. Aleks indicated that they had installed man units before but don't understand why this one is giving me the issue. However, he did offer to have the unit taken out at no charge, but don't recall whether he'll refund me or not. I have a dilemma now.....should I take out the system or just ignore it and put my key fob next to my steering wheel columns whenever I need to start my vehicle due to the signal interference....I'm also waiting to hear from Aleks for update from the module manufacturer to see if they can suggest a quick fix for the issue... Crossing my fingers and will update asap. read more
