Andy always gives good reliable advice. Honest and doesn't try make you pay for something you don't need. I travel from across the bay to go to him. Highly recommend read more

Recently purchased a new to me 2012 BMW 135i & performed a DIY coilover installation. Since it was my first time, I would sleep much better taking it to a reputable shop to do a once-over service & confirm quality of install. Set up appointment one week out from initial call. Came in to drop off car at 10:30AM & discussed w/ Andy for a bit. You can tell he's knowledgeable, wants what's best for the car & driver, & will be honest on preferences. Car was ready for pickup around 4:00PM. He gave the rundown of what I did well what I did wrong no fluff. Super appreciative. Happy to come back for future work. read more

Upgraded the suspension on my 2021 MY. They then aligned the wheels cause well they took it all apart. The ride was much better. This shop was very good in that they worked on Teslas without any problems. Problem now is that they are so good and popular, it's hard to get an appointment. read more

Werkshop does top-notch work with their paint protection film (PPF). They've worked on a couple of my cars, and the results have been consistently excellent. Their attention to detail is impressive, and the quality of their work speaks for itself. But it doesn't stop there--Werkshop is more than just PPF. They also have skilled mechanics on staff who can take care of a wide range of car issues. It's truly a one-stop shop for all your automotive needs. read more

I come here for all my regular car maintenance because I know service is good, reliable, and won't be charged with all the dealership prices. They know what to look out for and will tell me what's necessary or not. I will be coming back next time for sure. read more

I've been bringing my car here for regular maintenance for a while now, and what keeps me coming back is their professionalism and honesty. Andy's super responsive via yelp or email which makes scheduling and updates a breeze. What I appreciate most is their transparency--they'll explain what's urgent, what can wait, and they don't try to upsell. On the very rare occasion when there were mistakes, they owned it immediately and tried to make it right, which says a lot about their integrity. It's rare to find an auto shop that values communication and accountability as much as quality work, but this place does. Highly recommend if you want a shop you can build trust with. read more

Werkshop is my favorite specialty mechanics and racing shop in the USA. Andy and Wyman are great owners. They specialize in tinting, PPF, ceramic, and suspension upgrades, but they can do everything else between oil changes to complete engine builds. They've worked on my STI, Dark Horse, and probably my new Land Cruiser. The most recent engine rebuild includes cryogenic treatment and WPC, which is really exciting. It's crazy how popular they've become but still manage to stay low key and have a race team on the side. Very professional and understanding people. Hope it always stays this way. Thank you. read more

I brought my car in to have brake components replaced based on a prior diagnostic from another shop. After the work was completed, the vehicle became completely undrivable and had to be towed out. In my experience, a properly completed brake job should at least leave the car in a drivable condition. Despite this, I was still charged for the service and asked to remove the vehicle promptly. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this shop. read more

Great service with fair pricing. I would recommend trying Werkshop for your automotive repairs.

I've been coming to Werkshop since 2022 for all sorts of services. Basic oil changes, spark plugs, suspension, and more recently, PPF. Andy handles the front office most of the time and has been a pleasure to work with every single time. He's upfront and honest about what you need and doesn't play when it comes to your car. Every time I get my car back, it's in tip top shape and better than when it came in. I've seen some shoddy work with places especially when it comes to PPF. Everyone claims they can do it but can they do it well? Wyman's work will speak for itself. The whole team at Werkshop are experienced and the fact that they've been there for years speaks volumes. I won't go anywhere else as long as they're in business. read more

I've been coming to Werkshop for all my cars since they were still located in South San Francisco. I was recommended to them by a friend of mine a while back. I first took my WRX STI to them for all my mods, oil changes, repairs, and even ceramic coats. After I switched to a BMW X3 M40i, and now BMW M3, they still handle all my maintenance and mods. I am very picky about getting things worked on in a particular way, and Andy has put up with all my little complaints and helped me resolve every problem that I had with my cars. Originally, I wanted to gatekeep this place because of the quality of work and the service for the price they charge, but ultimately, I want to continue to see Werkshop grow. Andy and his team are exceptionally knowledgeable about what they do, especially Joey and Wyman, whom I had the pleasure to work with. Andy and his team have done downpipes, alignments, exhaust systems, suspension work, and more on all my cars. Hence I trust them fully to continue to work on my cars. Most recently, I was going back and forth with Andy for a few weeks on what aftermarket wheels for my M3, and what size tires I should go with the car. He provided his recommendation and it came out to be the perfect wheel fitment. Now we just need to get the height adjustment down, which is the next project I am working with him on. I highly recommend Werkshop to anyone who loves their car and wants to keep it running in spectacular condition. read more

I bring both my wheels and my car here because I trust this team to treat my property with the same care and respect as if it were their own. Their professionalism and attention to detail give me complete confidence--and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. read more

Andy Joey and team are great. I take my Subaru there for the 60k and 90k service. Great service and great price. I recently had a 90k service done and then had to take it to a local dealership for a emissions recall. While at the dealership I told them about a squealing noise and they told me I needed new front rotors and pads $800. Called the shop spoke to Andy and he told me not to pay and drop it off to have it looked at. Joey and team told me no issues and my brakes are fine. Took care of me at late notice to make sure I didn't get ripped off. These guys are the real deal. read more

Had a catback aftermarket installation done, Andy was awesome. He helped with a deal and also had it installed. He gave me tips on the Toyota GR86 including oil type, oil pan baffle, and new car engine break in. I'm glad I took it to his shop, the information helped me on my journey with the new car. They also pointed out a tint issue I didnt even know I had, which lead me to have my tint shop repair it for free. Joey was very helpful as well with my old exhaust and chatting about car stuff. Appreciate Werkshop and their team! read more

Big thanks to Werkshop!! I had them install an exhaust on my 718 Cayman that I bought from a third party vendor. However the vendor/supplier sent the wrong version of the exhaust. Andy and team from Werkshop helped communicate issue with supplier in europe and make sure I received correct part as replacement! They went above and beyond to help resolve issue! Really glad I took my car there and will definitely return! read more

I've been taking my car to Werkshop for a while and their work has always been great. Just had my Miata's fluids changed and they know what needs to be done and recommends what fluids to use depending on what you plan to do with the car (track or daily). Andy knows his stuff! Their prices are very reasonable. Will definitely come back here. read more

This company was recommended by Mercedes of San Francisco. I've had another vehicle many years ago do the cover prep, but they did an amazing job plus in new era of ceramic coating, the new vehicle looks amazing. Everything was great with service requested. The value is what you expect with pampering your car. read more

Been taking my Mercedes to Werkshop in the recent years, and was the best decision I've done for my vehicle. Andy and his team provide the best customer service, the work done is honest and reliable. Taken my vehicle for mileage service and check-ups recently. Thank you again for the attention and extra care. read more

Honesty gets you far in life. Especially when someone is running an automotive business. No fluff and straight to the point, I've always had good experiences here with a couple of my cars. Andy is the man! Love his energy lol read more

I recently had my 911 serviced at Werkshop with PPF, ceramic coating, and window tint. I was so impressed with Wyman Lu's professionalism and how willing he was to offer suggestions. If you're looking to protect your beloved car, I'd definitely recommend Werkshop and Wyman--they're fantastic! read more

Brought my Model Y for an ugly, noisy vibration that was emanating from my car. Andy said there are a few options that could cause this, ranging from likely to unlikely and cheap to expensive. We started with the cheap/likely option, and the noise stubbornly stuck around. I brought the car back and one of the techs, Joey, drove the car with me and took it as a personal challenge to solve this issue. He told me that if he's not 99% sure, he'll tell me to go to Tesla. Now I'm finally back in my car with no weird noises. Andy to his credit handled the second repair free of charge (I just paid for the part). Quality work doesn't mean getting it right the first time - it means getting it right eventually and doing the right thing along the way. Appreciate the team! read more

So I took my 2023 Honda civic type R to werkshop for a stage 1 clutch replacement/upgrade when i got my car back I stalled twice when pulling off. Which I hadn't done in a years time and something just didn't feel right. So I called the shop and spoke with Andy and told him what I was experiencing. He assured me his technician didn't adjust my clutch pedal which was a lie he did. Andy said he would speak with his technician about it, but his technician was out at the time. About two weeks went by and i was now starting to see Rpm's jumping as my transmission was beginning to slip and still no call back. Called and informed Andy of that also since i hadn't heard back about my first issue. Now it's been about two in a half more weeks and nothing. While driving to work my car would stop engaging while shifting ( which show signs of clutch heating up and than disengaging) when in fact the clutch pedal was adjusted wrong and the clutch was constantly engaged until hot and than would stop. Went back and forth with Andy for weeks after that had my car towed a few times because i was stuck(in the rain). And at no point did he say have it tow to us so we could look at it. Come December is when he finally asked me to bring it in than asked the manufacturer of the clutch their opinion leaving out details of what their shop had done. That went on for awhile finally February they replaced my clutch again with oem parts that I paid for once again and gave me my car back and two weeks later it's doing it again. Took it to Honda and they are saying the CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT IS VERY HIGH. So it needs to be replaced again . This was the worse decision of my life to go to this shop. I got my car back from werkshop parked it because the recall on my car needed to be fix and brakes. So car was driven from their shop to my house parked than to the shop for the brake job and than to Honda for the recall less than 200 miles and already the clutch is yet again out. Two clutches worked on by werkshop and both didn't last the job was done wrong. And to add after posting this review Andy wrote me in email and threaten me to take it down. Just crazy this is how this man wants to run his business. read more

This is a way overdue review as I have been taking my cars to Werkshop for many years now, but wanted to confirm all the solid reviews about such a great shop. Andy and Wyman are top tier and know what they are doing. Both are very professional, to the point, and that also shows throughout the entire team at Werkshop. Their professionalism is not the only thing that stands out, it is also their quality and attention to detail. Andy and the team are very good at communicating and always tell you their honest opinions. From their reliability, to maintenance services, as well as protection services, they are simply the best in the Bay Area. Thanks again Andy, Wyman, and team! read more

Andy and Werkshop have continued to maintain and build up my vehicle since 2021 when it was brand new. 21k miles later, the car is running better than when it was on the Subaru lot! Anything from wheels shipped straight from Japan to installing and tuning a high end suspension system with Ohlin coilovers, Werkshop has been able to execute with ease (they also have a new state-of-the-art alignment station/machine). Every simple oil change or intricate modification is done without any shortcuts or errors. Even things I would not have thought of are covered by their work as they simply will not let the car leave the shop until it is safe and the job is done correctly and masterfully. Some people would rather them rush, but I am willing to wait even if it takes longer than estimated. Andy is one of the OG mechanics and members of the Subaru and general car community. He expertly works on anything from Teslas, BMW's, Hondas, Supras, Subaru's, all exotics, daily drivers, and track cars alike. He is also the most generous and focused person I've known in the US, Asia, and Europe, and he always looks to accommodate the customer's specific needs and circumstances. He even helped me when I got side-swiped on the highway in 2022. I choose not to take my car anywhere else because trust in this industry is rare. Every technician in Werkshop is known and vetted personally by Andy, and it shows. Even if Werkshop does not offer a service, they have a network of friendly shops that assist them. However, I've seen Werkshop offer tint, auto paint and wheel protection, and more. Lastly, don't think I know Andy or anybody from Werkshop personally. I don't. I am not trying to earn brown points or anything free. I have just been treated pretty bad by other mechanics, car audio shops, and dealerships too many times before. Business is business, but Werkshop has treated me and my investment with care, respect, and tact to an unequaled level. Thank you. read more

I rarely take time to comment on businesses but I just want to send my gratitude to Andy and his crew coz I have nothing but compliments. Andy and his team were such a pro and knows actually what they're doing. They walked me step by step with the installation of my new lights with patience and thoroughness. Also, they took care of other sensor issues and were able to resolved it by thinking outside the box. Very pleased with their services, and if you're looking for auto services, this is the place to go to. You wont regret it. read more

Werkshop has been the saving grace that renewed my trust in auto shops. After two relatively bad experiences around San Bruno/San Jose, getting my car back to full working condition the proper way is truly a relief. I requested a quote a few weeks ago to diagnose an airbag light that came on after another shop had installed an aftermarket steering wheel and an aftermarket LED emblem that had been disconnected by another body shop. Werkshop provided a rough estimate (higher than it actually ended up costing, thankfully) and we managed to book an appointment a few weeks out. I went in for the appointment today, dropping the car off at noon- and managed to get the car all done and finished by 5PM. Quick, easy, and done properly - such a relief. Once we arrived to pick up the car, we were told exactly what work had been done and how long each task took. We were also told about how he noticed the two shops that previously worked on my car definitely cut corners, and explained thoroughly how he went to fix each of those issues. All in all, this should be the standard for experience among auto shops and I am definitely going to make this my go-to for car related work. read more

Having recently bought a new car, there's always one thing I need to add, and that's window tint! More for looks than function for me, but glad it serves a function too. I was referred to Werkshop by someone who had gotten tint done in the past, and got in contact with Wyman. It was my first experience getting tint to my car done, so naturally I had a ton of questions and they were super responsive. Wyman was able to show the different shades/percentages prior to bringing in my vehicle, which I was thankful for. He was able to give me a quote and we set up a time to bring the car in. Bringing the car in was a breeze. Wyman was kind enough to show me the difference in shades and cut tiny pieces of tint to show how dark it would be once applied. After a few options, I finally decided on 35% and it came out better than I expected. They quoted me 3 hours, and it was done on time. Reading the reviews, it looks like this is the place if you are looking to get body work and performance mods put onto your car. Definitely will be back, as I take a deep dive into the tacoma mods and eventually get my car ready for off-roading! read more

Highly, highly recommend this place! Andy took care of us both times when we went to this shop. First time was for replacing tires and balance. Second time was for patching a tire. Andy is very good at communicating and really takes care of you. I would come back again for any other tire issues. read more

After doing a lot of research on independent shops that's experienced on working on Subarus, I decided to bring my 2022 WRX here for its 30k mile service. Andy quoted me a price that is definitely better than what the dealership is charging. Andy was very communicative and helpful throughout the process. Will definitely come here for future work that my car needs. read more

This was my first time getting PPF. I sent inquiries to a few places through Yelp, and I'm glad I chose Werkshop. They were responsive, managed expectations well, were communicative, offered competitive pricing (no hidden fees either), and were very professional. They've been in business for ten years, and how they run their operation backs up the high praise they've received from others on Yelp. Even though I was a newbie to PPF and had many questions, Andy took the time to answer all of them. He always responded on the same day, which I appreciated. I think some of the other businesses I contacted got tired of all my questions, and a couple stopped responding. On the day I went to pick up my car, I met Wyman for the first time. I was surprised he already knew all the details I shared with Andy. It demonstrated a clear line of communication within their business, their attention to detail, and how they value their customers. I wish all companies operated like Werkshop. I highly recommend this place. read more

This is a long overdue review for Werkshop; this place is awesome. Summary: if you want a super knowledgeable, no bullcrap mechanic who cares about cars, you definitely need to bring your car here. Andy is well known in the Subaru community in the Bay and for good reason. I know some people may be put off by his direct comments, but he always wants what is best for the customer. I used to own a 2013 WRX Hatch and I would not let anyone else touch her besides the people at Werkshop. It's been here several times for transmission modifications, some engine work, and even your basic oil changes. The last time was unmodding the car for sale, in which he helped pack all my mods with their associated hardware together into organized boxes in my trunk. He even gave me some tips and suggestions for the sale process. No Subaru? Don't worry, he's not limited to Subarus! He works on your daily commuter cars too, keeping them in tip-top shape! Andy is very straightforward...and I like that. There are no hidden fees, no bullshit, he just cuts right to the chase. The shop is full of enthusiasts that really care for cars (there's a reason why you see photos of Lambos, Porsches, Ferraris, and all dem luxury cars in their shop). He will take the time to explain what's going on with your car and provide you a list of options on how to move forward. Feel free to ask him questions, he's very detailed and will tell you as it is. He's meticulous in that he wants to make sure the customer is getting what they want and that the cars are in excellent running condition after they leave Werkshop. I recently referred my dad over to Werkshop because his BMW is in dire need of new tires. My dad brought his BMW into the shop to get them mounted/balanced, and alignment done. Within a day, an appointment was set. Within 2 weeks, amongst his shop moving location, he squeezes my dad in for the service. My dad couldn't be happier. Looking forward to bringing cars to Werkshop's new location. This has been my go-to shop for my Subaru and will be for future cars. read more

I've been going to Andy @ Werkshop for all my installs. Normally a really helpful guy and answers quickly.. recently got an exhaust installed on my Type R.. heard loud screech noises coming from the exhaust and asked if he could take a look. Instead of a smooth exchange, he gets defensive about his work and says it's more likely a defect with the part than an install error. Says I have to pay for his time if no fault is found on his end... after many messages he agrees to take a look but refuses to give me an estimate on time needed and tells me he got offended by my initial message that "points the finger at his technician" It's business and nothing personal. Won't ever return to this shop, I don't trust that they'll handle this situation professionally. Especially if the OWNER gets offended so easily. read more

We have been coming to Werkshop since 2018 and are so grateful to have them. They are friendly, super honest, reliable and Andy always fully explains exactly what is going on. They have reliably taken care of both of our cars doing all the regular maintenance as well as any bigger repairs. Werkshop was a lifesaver when my brand-new catalytic converter was stolen! In addition to all his car knowledge, Andy does a great job handling all the office stuff and is super helpful. It's rare to have such an awesome auto shop in your corner! read more

TL;DR: OUTSTANDING quality and workmanship... the BEST in the biz. Trust Wyman and his excellent team!!! I've wrapped 5 different cars (i.e. MB S560, Porsche 991 Turbo, Tesla S, etc.) each at different reputable shops around the Bay, and WERKSHOP is BY FAR the BEST wrap shop and window tint I have ever experienced. Every time I wrap a car, there's always that one tiny little imperfection (or two) that isn't worth redoing an entire bumper that you compromise and live with. Well, at Werkshop, I went over the entire car with a magnifying glass and couldn't find one imperfection. The lines were hand cut perfectly straight, edges tucked away so they're almost invisible, and the owner (Wyman) somehow managed to miraculously wrap the ENTIRE front bumper (from hood to lower diffuser and left to right fender)... in ONE piece!! (see front pics) That was near impossible considering all the vents/lights/markers/detectors/creases/angles/etc., but somehow he did it. Even the side mirrors which are 2 pieces you can barely see or feel the cut (see pic). His technicians William, Angelo and CC(?) do AMAZING work under Wyman's supervision, and you can easily tell they are expertly trained and VERY attentive to detail. If you treasure your cars like I do and want THE BEST treatment for your baby, trust Wyman and his team. I am OCD and SUPER meticulous, and Werkshop exceeded ALL my expectations. I have finally found my Go-To shop!!! Highly recommended read more

Highly recommend. I have an old 2008 Porsche cayman. Not a very popular or well understood car. I was looking for a shop that could help me to customize as it desperately needed suspension, wheels, and tires. This is the place to come to around here. Andy was ultra responsive, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to find answers to what he didn't know. He provided good recommendations, was pretty transparent on costs, and got the work done in a timely fashion. He even did a good job handling my anxiety when I thought my wheels had been lost during shipment (they were just delayed by the shipping carrier), and allowed my old wheels to be picked up directly by a seller I arranged. Results speak for themselves. The car looks and feels as if it was meant to be manufactured this way. Offsets, sizing, height, performance.. it all just works. I have no hesitation recommending this place to anyone. They may not be the cheapest, but custom work is something you want to get done right and stay that way. High marks to Andy and his crew!! Definitely helped me to fabricate my own dream. read more

Well... the dozens of incredible reviews should tell you everything, but I thought I'd chime in anyways. Reached out to see if they can help me with my turbo buick (it's kind of a niche engine). Got a quick response with an honest answer that they just don't work on these. Also got a recommendation for someone who could help. If you ask me, a mechanic who knows his limits and specializes in what he knows is the ideal person to have. So I didn't actually use them but have tons of respect for their style. read more

Amazing customer service for all your car needs!!! Without a doubt. My friend introduced me to Andy and he has been such a great help expanding my knowledge about my car and how to maintain it. My whole life all car maintenances have been very transactional - drop off my keys, come back at the end of the day and pay. With Werkshop, it's a better experience where you understand what's going on with your car and what they recommend. Sure you might think they're trying to sell services, but they just want to make sure you're driving safely in your car/ maintaining it well! The first time I came to Werkshop I needed an oil change and I also noticed my steering wheel alignment seemed off. Andy was kind enough to take a look and adjust it back as well as complete the oil change. The whole process took a little over an hour! Honestly a record time for all that. I've gone to other shops where they take ALL DAY to complete an oil change because they're so backed up and rushed. At Werkshop, they take the time to make sure they do the job with 100% accuracy to provide you the best customer service. The second time I came to Werkshop was because I was hearing a weird sound with my car. I dropped it off at 9AM and By 10AM Andy calls me to tell me I'll need new brakes and the latest I'll get my car is 3PM. Come 12PM, Andy calls me and tells me my car is ready! So amazing! I've never had better service for my car in my life. Andy and his team work collaboratively to make sure your car is taken care of. I'll definitely continue to come to Werkshop to maintain my car. Thank you, Andy & the team!!! read more
