SVG is hands down the best shop I've ever been to. I've been bringing my 996 Turbo here for literally anything over the past few years, and I'll be coming by with my Boxster next. Harminder, Calvin, and the team are super friendly and knowledgeable and they diagnose and fix things that other shops can't. From regular service to weird suspension clunking and tires, they've taken care of me, my cousins, and a ton of car friends for a price you can't beat. Added bonus - you'll feel like a kid in a candy store if you take a peek into the shop

My Mom & her New car
Jorge R.

Silicon Valley Garage I've been working hard and saving up to purchase a new car for my beloved mother. I wanted her beautiful new car to have paint protection and stay looking new interior and all. I had PPF applied to full front end of car: full hood, front bumper, front fenders, headlights, side view mirrors and 1 step paint correction and ceramic coating and the interior as well. I spoke to Harmin and he was able to finishing up in time for me to surprise my Mom on Mother's Day with a beautiful new Car! Silicon Valley Garage strives for perfection and looks at all the small details, Great customer service & professional. I highly recommend Sillicon Valley Garage to all my friends & Family!

I'm currently pursuing legal action against Harminder Dhaliwal and Silicon Valley garage for damages that occurred to my car while under their care - please read on. I was in the market for a high performance mod (FI Interchiller + 2 gal reservoir tank (trunk, engine bay or custom fabbed)) for a Mercedes SL, and my friend referred me to Silicon Valley Garage. I spoke to Harmin, the owner, about the job - we got on the same page about the work, and after a while he provided me with a quote. It was higher than other tuning shops around, but given the praise my friend had for SVG, I gave them the thumbs and dropped off my car. I stressed that this car had 2 batteries and the one with the parasitic drain should be kept on charge, or the car should be started every day or two - no problem, Harmin said. Weeks go by with no contact, and Harmin doesn't return a single text or phone call. He finds time to post on SVG's Instagram story every hour or two however. I stop by the shop after a few weeks, and one of the techs said they "hadn't even started" the job, and they need to prioritize the steady stream of easy work (wrapping new cars and lowering link kits) that looks good on Instagram, because it all pays the same hourly rate. We touch base on the job again, and the techs said they were just going to do the interchiller install with no reservoir tank consideration - so the high quote Harmin gave me was only for half the job. Another couple weeks go by and I stop by again, and another tech says "Yeah, Harmin does this to everyone" - leaving the hard jobs sit for months, and "chases the easy money". He says a Corvette just came in and Harmin told him he gets priority over me because Harmin thinks the Corvette owner is wealthy. Another week goes by, I stop by again and they say "A Ford GT just came in and he definitely gets priority over you - we definitely aren't even starting on your car this week". I asked if I could just get by car back and go home, and they complied. The battery I stressed that needed to be charged, was dead, and after getting the car started, it was throwing all sorts of trouble codes, the driver window and convertible top were inoperable, and the AC freon was drained. I touched base with my friend who referred me to SVG. He touched base with his friend who used to be a co-owner there but no longer is. He says "things got bad there a few months ago". In an attempt to recoup my damages, I'm currently pursuing a case against Silicon Valley Garage LLC (entity number 202253513108), with it's agents of process and Harminder Dhaliwal listed as defendants, in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.

SVG did a fantastic job in installing my wheels. They protect the glossy finish well and the service is smooth, would definitely recommend

My Ram 1500 on 2 inch strut leveling kit.  Sitting On 33x12.5xR20 Toyo open country AT3

I contacted SVG on Tuesday night with what I was interested in. 2 inch strut Level kit and bigger more aggressive tires than my stock. By Thursday morning everything was in house and they had an employee pick up my truck from my work, left me a loaner and Before I left work my truck was delivered back to me. Truck looks great! SVG has my trust and confidence with all my future mods

Techs alerted me about bad motor and transmission mounts, saving my exhaust.

Went above and beyond in every category, from quoted price honoring to finishing the job timely. Had the rear wheel bearings and front brakes replaced by them at a very reasonable price with excellent quality of service. Was hesitant to check out someone other than my local independent Porsche mechanic but will be back here a lot now.

SVG!

Best in the business. Took my vehicle in for wrap removal and paint correction. Few days later it was done and the results are beyond what i expected! These guys due it all.Highly recommended.

PPF on the front end, tint, aftermarket exhaust, & accent wrap work.

I have taken multiple cars to this shop (Audi R8, Lamborghini Urus, Mclaren 765lt, Lamborghini Ultimae) and every time have received amazing service. Harmin has a one stop shop for transportation, PPF, wrap, tint, tune, mods, etc. he has very capable people working for him and he does the job right the first time at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend this shop.

Hands down one of the best shops in the bay. I wanted to get my c63 lowered and they were able to order the parts and had me in and out in no time. Super professional, friendly and responsive to any needs. Car will be coming back for more mods but they definitely got my business for all future needs. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to do literally anything to their car. It's a one stop shop with great detail to work and super helpful team to guide you with anything.

Took my car and referred many of my friends to SVG. They're the best shop in the bay for any car needs.

Right off the bat, I already had good feelings about this place based on the communication aspect…read morefrom Mario. I had my car serviced here for springs/spacers and it looks more beautiful than before. Thank you team and congrats Betsy on your day 2!

TLDR: come wrap your car here if you want it to be wrapped by incompetent amateurs. And if you…read morecriticize their ppf work, they'll insist that they do "paint protection not paint perfection". Check the photos for just how badly they messed up our car, and ask yourself if this is what you want your car to look like. I initially visited this business in late 2025. I, like you and countless other prospective clients, saw that they are a well-reviewed and mature car wrap serving the Bay Area, and they are even certified Inozetek wrap dealers. Unfortunately, I had the (mis?)fortune of totaling my car that year and wasn't able to do the wrap with them. However, I held them in high regard and was eager to recommend the shop to all of my friends. When my boyfriend bought a Lotus Emira in the summer of 2026, I eagerly recommended that he bring his car to Carmodz, and so we brought the car together under my advice. We were greeted by Brandon. They had a GT3RS parked out front and he opened up the doors to let us inspect the corners. I let him know we were looking for a high quality wrap job, meaning tucking the wrap into all the edges and corners. This is where the miscommunication begins. He shows us the GT3RS, we compliment the corners and see that it's tucked well, and I remember distinctly saying that we're looking for this kind of quality. So we got around to pricing, and we agree on $4200. After a few hours of leaving it at the shop, we notice the car isn't being worked on, since there was no availability until the next week to start, so we took the car out with a $1000 down payment. The day after we get a facetime complaining about water spots. They demanded we pay them extra money to polish off the spots. My boyfriend said that we definitely wanted to address that before starting the wrap and that they should call us back with the actual quote (they called us without having a number of how much it would cost). After a few hours we found out they had already started the "polish" and said we would just have to pay. They quoted us a much higher number, and we said no you started working on our car without confirming the price, but we'll still pay $200. They messaged my boyfriend later telling him that they were mad he let me talk during the phone call, and that they only wanted to talk to him, not his partner, because it's not my car? So we leave them to continue with the job, letting them know that we would like the car for Monterey car week, but we never implied in any capacity to them that we would like the job to be rushed and compromise on quality for this specific event. The week leading up to the first weekend, they message us to say the car is ready. We show up, and find the car in this state (pictured). I run around the shop with my boyfriend, agitated that this has happened, and we express our frustration to the shop techs. Apparently the owners already left for Monterey car week. So absolutely we did not take delivery or make the rest of the payment. The shop techs seemed stressed and called Mario, who was very dismissive of our concerns. That night, Brandon calls my boyfriend. The same shpiel on the film being precut and not a custom "full lay", to which we were indignant that on the day we agreed to let them do the work, they heavily implied they would be doing a full lay on our car like the GT3RS, and conveniently forgot to clarify this until the wrap was on the car and it was too late to stop the work. And then, Brandon lays into my boyfriend, demanding to know what girl he brought to pick up the car, and demanding that communication needs to be between him and my boyfriend alone. Says he pulled the camera footage from the shop and saw us running around the car and like telling all the imperfections to the shop techs, who called Mario, to which Brandon is like, why are you talking to Mario, everything you do should be through me, now you got someone else involved and I look bad etc. So there are rules on who you can talk to in the shop now if you get your car wrapped here? We go in person to check on the car and sign their newly proposed contract, and both Mario and Brandon are there. Mario seems somewhat apologetic and they admit that they didn't check the car before it was released to us. They ended up being extremely rude to us so we end up taking the car back and going with someone else. *all of the photos posted were taken on my phone by me, and I was present for everything reported in this review *i wrote and stand behind every word of this review, this is my experience and no one else's
