Just wanted to pass on my appreciation for the advice and work from Alex and James. Just did some performance and handling mods to my 911 T and in the process they found an issue and corrected it before it became a problem. Alex gave me great advice which had me change my original plans which ended up saving me $'s and gave me a better outcome! These guys have a great reputation and now I personally know why! read more

Hi, I got two cars sharkified last week. James and Andy are wonderful guys to deal with. I got a new exhaust on my 9912 GTS Targa as well as shifter and also the numeric shifter and the Sharkwerks exhaust on my 992.1 GT3. loving it so far. read more

I love these guys at Sharkwerks!! They are truly the best when it comes to Porsche aftermarket exhaust and parts. I am so happy with their Exhaust system. I have it currently on my 2019 GTS and 2019 GT3 RS. I can finally hear the turbo sound from the GTS! The GT3 RS was very much muted so to "Sharkify" it was much needed. Now the RS sounds the way its supposed to! I will be soon swapping out all my exhaust to their system. I have to add that these guys are so kind and the service is better than I can ask. They answer all my emails and calls for any questions I had. The packaging was perfect and they give a damn about you. If youre thinking about getting work done from these guys, you should pull the trigger. read more

Alex and James are porsche connoisseurs. They live and breathe porsche. My porsche IQ has increased just talking to Alex. The service is spectacular. They keep you in the loop every step of the way. And the product they deliver is spectacular. The 4.1 conversion package is a masterpiece. Without question, the best in the business. Thank you Alex and James. read more

If you're a Porsche owner/enthusiast in California, you've probably heard of SharkWerks (or even seen them in a magazine or two). In fact, across the US, Sharkwerks is quickly gaining much popularity in the Porsche community. Sharkwerks is NorCal's preferred stop for all of your P-car needs. Owners James and Alex run a highly reputable, much praised Porsche performance/tuning/repair shop. I take my 2001 911 turbo to these guys exclusively. They're really one of the only shops I'd ever trust to do work on any of my cars (especially since I'm even more sensitive with my Porsche). I used to do all the work on my cars by myself in my garage, but it's nice to know that when I don't have the time/tools/energy to take on a job on the p-car, these guys can knock it out for me. They do excellent work and even make recommendations on what I need/should do based on what they see on my car and what they've experienced first-hand on their own Porsches. That level of service is not easy to come by these days with new "tuner" shops popping up every day around here. I've taken my P-car to Alex and James 3 times now and am 100% happy with my experience at Sharkwerks. I'll continue to bring my business to them. read more

I was in NorCal and wanted to try to stop into the shop to pick up a t-shirt or hat. Ended up gettting a high performance Stage 1 tune that gave my German car more horsepower and torque. Eventually, got the t-shirt and hat for free. Thanks to Dan, James and Alex at Sharkwerks. I will definitely be going back to these guys in the future. Dan and James installed my ECU tune while I was at lunch. For such a world renowned company; they really make you feel like you're their primary customer of concern. Cheers to you guys at Sharkwerks Jeff read more

What a fantastic tuner shop! It is a Porschephile's dream come true. Alex is just an incredible guy. I had the pleasure of talking to him over two years ago when I was first considering purchasing my 911 Turbo. After about 30 mins of conversation, with his sage advice, I pulled the trigger and bought it. I should have reviewed them at the time but forgot to do so. The other day, I had an issue with my 911 Turbo, and once again, he was able to provide me excellent advice over the phone. He took so much of his personal time to help me out without charging me a dime. Just a true enthusiast that happens to own a business he is so passionate about. I brought in my car, and he had it up and running in no time flat. Truly a class act. It is hard to describe how much over 5* I wish I could give (considering other 5* businesses I have reviewed in the past), but Sharkwerks deserves it. I am very thankful that a business that is nationally-recognized and reputed is within a 10 min drive. I give them my very highest recommendation. read more

Awesome service! I own a 2011 Porsche Cayman (987.2) base with the Sports Plus/Chrono package. I've been researching options to get a little more power out of her. I wasn't looking for anything major, just a little more oomph. Unlike some shops who try to up sell you into every ounce of snake oil they have to offer, Sharkwerks is quite the opposite. I called and spoke with a very nice man named Dan. I told him what my goals were and he gave me two options. I then asked if I should also have two additional added, he replied that he did not recommend it for the base model, which would have cost me a couple of thousand dollars for parts and installation. The two small upgrades delivered as Dan said they would. My car has a noticeable increase in power. The increase is not huge, but I there is no mistaking the difference. While waiting in the shop, Dan and I talked a bit. During the entire conversation he did not try to talk me into making other purchases. This tells me that if he does suggest something, it is because he sincerely recognizes a benefit for the customer to have it, unlike a few places that only seek to benefit themselves. read more

I ordered a muffler delete from this company last week for my Porsche 991and I am so pleased with the quality and sound. It was very easy to install. It comes with step by step instruction. The shipment was very fast. I am very happy and you guys have a customer or life. Alex is very helpful and answered all my questions prior to ordering the part. Thank you Sharkwerks, you made my Porsche sound like a Porsche. read more

Have lived with the Sharkwerks exhaust on my 991.2 Carrera T for a couple years now and I'm so happy with the setup. Really opens up the sound of the engine with out being intrusive. These guys do amazing work whether it's exhaust, repair, or full Sharkwerks treatment on the GT3 engines. Fantastic all around, thank you guys for all you do read more

I worked with Dan for my GT3RS track exhaust. He was very friendly and approachable.. unfortunately my car was stuck at another shop that went beyond the schedule finish time and I had to reschedule. Dan and the team was very accommodating to move my schedule for the following week. Sharwerks killed it with the install. My car absolutely sounds amazing. If I could allow a 10 star I would. Without question I would take my next Porsche to SharkWerks. Thank you Dan! read more

Exceptional communication, service, and quality of work from James and Alex. They have a longstanding positive reputation in the Porsche community and I can see why. They went above and beyond all expectations, and also took a number of COVID-related precautions that I appreciated. Thanks and see you guys again. read more

Was referred to Sharkwerks by a friend and had a few questions and emailed them and they got right back to me. Ordered new exhaust and had them install. Took about 4 hours and the results were music to my ears. My 2014 991.1 turbo purrs like an angry kitten. Dan and Alex did an awesome job. 100% recommend. read more

Ho hum, another five star review . . . There is a reason these guys are rated so high, they actually care about their work and have the background and experience to stand behind their recommendations. I have a 2013 997.2 PDK Turbo, I wasn't looking to do anything crazy, I go to client locations and occasionally have to take them in my car; I need my car to be lean heavily to aggressive, but professional . . . NOT teen-obnoxious. My first step was to replace the stock muffler with their Sharkwerks, after-cat exhaust, I'm in California, so SMOG matters. Obviously this choice is critical in the not-obnoxious category. 500hp should be enough for a small car like the 911, right? But for a very low entry fee, the SharkWerks guys unleash an "extra" 60hp with an ECU flash (EVOMSit) . . . Why wouldn't I do this???? These guys modified my previous 996 Turbo with tremendous results, so I entered through their doors with confidence. This is hugely important when allowing folks to tinker with your "$150k" car. The only other thing I will add is that the software upgrade increased the aggressiveness of the exhaust, I LOVE it. The last thing that I appreciate about Alex and Dan, is they also had their opinions on what not to tinker with. Every Porsche I have ever owned has been lowered, they both suggested that the stock setup might suit my personal needs just fine. Remember that trust-thing I spoke of earlier? Anyway, I highly recommend you checking these guys out, incremental upgrades to P-cars are their passion, what more could you ask? read more

What can I say? I am another 5 star review for SharkWerks. Just a group of the most honest and knowledgeable guys when it comes to water-cooled Porsche cars. I have a 997.1 Turbo, and with the exception of tuning my car, they have done nothing else, despite my best efforts. Alex, the principal there, time and time again, counsels me out of big-dollar modifications that, in his experience, will make my car worse. How often have you heard something like that? I simply cannot recommend SharkWerks and Alex Ross more. read more

I was first introduced to Alex and his team in 2008, when I was looking to install the EVO 700 kit on my 2007 997 TT. Whenever you're looking to drop 30 large on an aftermarket installation, you want to make sure you're working with the best. And SharkWerks are. Not only did they do a phenomenal job, but they've ALWAYS been receptive to my incessant questions. Fast forward to October 2010, and I'm going back to them to install my HREs on brand spanking new PS2s. Seems like yesterday we first met. Just a totally solid cool group of fellas. Highly recommended. read more

If you have a Porsche go to SHARKWERK for the upgrades. Alex, Dan & James are just all around great "normal" guys except they get their hands on top new porsches and make them better ;) I did a considerable amount of research, including references, then finally (should have done it sooner!) took a 911 TT to them, picked it up a week later... and have the most responsive, amazing, exhilarating, reliable ride. I was grilled on what I preferred in a car, personality, etc, then I really left it up to these guys to come up with would fit best for what I was looking for - expectations were completely exceeded. Besides these guys being pleasant, always available, educational - the car feels 150% better - more powerful, responsive, strong, and reliable... amazing what their tweaking did. Their experience, enthusiasm and skills really pull together - they are low key, but are completely focused about their sole purpose - Really, turn off your computer, call Alex, and take your porsche there... http://www.sharkwerks.com/ read more

Fast Friendly Service by guys that know what they're talking about. Don't hesitate to take your Porsche there for its upgrade needs.

If you love your Porsche, then head over to SharkWerks. From routine maintenance to crazy upgrades, Alex, James and Dan have you covered. Great products, excellent service, and awesome owners. It doesn't matter whether your car has 30 mile or 30,000 miles on the odometer, SharkWerks can make it feel like a completely different car. Give them a call - you will not be disappointed. read more

Alex, James, and Dan are pros, hands down! Everyone of them helpful and knowledgeable. James is a master mechanic technician and closer to an engineer than a wrench monkey. Alex has an eye for style and taste that the clients need. I have had them work on all three of my porsches every time with excellent results. Par exelance for the decreeing porsche enthusiast! read more

If you are familiar with car forums, or if you simply "Google" Sharkwerks, you will notice a ton of positive comments and experiences with this shop. All I can say that the excellent reputation and the feedback is all true. Recently I acquired a 997.2 GT3 and took it to Sharkwerks for various modification. These guys are a small private operation and true car enthusiasts. They are patient, answer questions and advise accordingly. They only recommend and install components and modifications that they have tested with their vehicles, and offer a specific, yet high quality selection, of pre-selected services. Their service and craftsmanship is second to none and they certainly go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction. To top it all of, they are a great bunch of guys that are an integral part of the Porsche community, and are a great source of general information on Porsches, when needed. It is very simple...if you have a Porsche and wish to enhance its performance, there is no better choice than Sharkwerks. Highly recommended! read more

I've been planning on doing some minor tuning enhancements on my Porsche Turbo so I did some research for a shop that can work on my car which has good reputation on Porsche's. I found Sharkwerks and luckily it's close to my place. I've never been there yet but I've exchanged quite of bit of emails with Alex and Dan. Let me tell you, these guys are the most patient and professional car people I've ever spoken to. I told them how I'm new to Porsche tuning and they already answered a lot of my questions and the best thing is they reply right away. They answered with detailed information and are very honest about what's good to do for my car. I can tell from their replies they enjoy helping people out. I'm not surprised they have 5 stars here on Yelp. I wish all the mechanics I deal with are as professional as Alex and Dan! Can't wait to bring my car in and finally meet these guys in person. read more

These guys are super. They had me in and out in an afternoon to install their SharkWerks exhaust on my 991 Turbo, while I waited in their cool, WiFi-equipped waiting area. The exhaust is just right, and makes the car sound like it should have from the factory. read more

Big shout out to Alex And Sharkewerks for hooking me up with their light weight flywheel and clutch for my 2016 Porsche GT4. It truly transformed the car, spools up so much faster and does not have the rattle that former light weight flywheels have. Alex is a great guy to work with and spent a lot of time with me to discuss options. I can't recommend Sharkwerks highly enough. Thanks Alex And Sharkwerks for making my GT4 come to life!! read more

The team at SharkWerks are truly AMAZING. Amazing service, super friendly and they really make sure you're happy and satisfied with their services. I had a super hectic schedule and wasn't able to communicate as often as I wanted to via phone and they still took the time out of their day to make sure everything was on schedule and dropped off my car as soon as they were finished with their work. I can't thank you guys enough for installing my first exhaust upgrade on my 991.2 4s. SharkWerks is definitely my go to anything car related. Thank you!!!! read more

5 stars, 10/10, amazing-you get the point. I bought a 2012 Turbo S that needed some sound and a little more craziness, Sharkwerks definitely provided! Super quick call backs and emails even on weekends, great products, prices and value. Super happy with the products and end results, it's actually better then I thought it would turn out as my last Turbo didn't sound that great after installing an after market exhaust I purchased from a competitor last time. I'm a business owner who fully understands the challenges of being in the service industry first hand, this team has put it all together. Great work, keep it up, and I'll be back for more with my next Porsche! read more

If wanting to tune/service your Porsche, there is no better Aftermarket Tunner in the Bay Area. Sharkwerks (Alex and James) have tuned/serviced all my Porsches and I couldn't be any happier. Ask any members from Rennlist, 6speedonline, Teamspeed, L4P.com and you will get similar feedback. read more

Amazing! All I can say about these guys is wow. I purchased the bypass pipe for my 997.2 carrera several years ago, and recently acquired a 2012 Turbo S and the exhaust was definitely lacking from the factory. The install on the turbo however, was much more involved, and attempted to do it myself, and ran into several problems getting the intercooler hose to seat correctly, but they were available late into the night, responding to emails and actually calling me quite late at night to provide assistance during the install. When I still couldn't figure it out, they even arranged for the car to be taken by flatbed to a shop nearby and coordinated with the shop's owner. I made one last attempt, and with their help, I was able to successfully complete the install, and now it sounds the way it was meant to, (amazing) and Sharkwerks was there every step of the way. You rarely see this level of customer support nowadays, so thank you! read more

Sincere thanks to Alex, who in giving me honest advice actually talked me out of spending a considerable amount of $ with them. I was trying to make my 997 ride a bit more civilized, so I drove to Sharkwerks to consult with the pros. Alex came out and I explained to him what I was looking for, and my original intention to put Bilstein PSS9 adjustable shocks onto the car. Other mod shops would likely tell me to go for it and put on the Bilsteins and lowering springs and corner weights and have me spend a few grand with them. Alex suggested that since my car is a plain vanilla 997 and not a C2S or C4S with PASM I should consider downgrading (!) my rims back to 18"s. He also said 18"s work better with non-S cars in the handling dept on city roads due to the suspension design, and suggested that I look on Craigslist to find a used set or a swap. I sincerely appreciate the honest opinion and advice, and it worked out real well for me. The car actually feels a lot nimbler. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any Porsche enthusiast. read more

SharkWerks is the best in the business. Every customer is happy with their beast when they get it back. I highly recommend them!

It's hard to find someone to entrust with your Porsche for modifications. These guys are honest and insist on doing things right.

Here's a prelude to my review of Sharkwerks- SEE THEM FOR ALL TUNING AND MOD NEEDS ON A P-Car! no matter how big or small a question I had about any type of work Alex and Dan were always on top of it, answering every question and detail thoroughly with the utmost sincerity. They speak from experience and from their passion for the cars we drive..never once do they try to up sell you or sway you to buy any part or type of service. The entire Shark team are all totally awesome in person as well..all very personable and knowledgeable! James finished my spring install with a snap of a finger and the car was in the same condition returned to me as it came in their doors- no scratches, dents, or even a mark...the best service and quality I have ever experienced. My Bypass exhaust from Sharkwerks was totally awesome as well...in addition they helped to correct the seating of my exhaust tips so that they were symmetrical. The work done on my car is a very minor job for these guys and yet the level of care and service they provided was second to none. Alex even followed up on how I liked everything the same evening! We'll be bringing all our P car needs to these guys and suggest you do the same for an extraordinary experience with the highest perfection from your car once they're done! Many thanks for this round Alex, James, and Dan...! read more
