About Us
Trusted Independent Porsche Facility
With over 35 years combined repair and customer service experience, we are excited to build a relationship with you and your Porsche. Over the years, we talked about the ways we could create a more efficient business model while increasing customer service and satisfaction. In 2022, we decided to put our experience and ideas into action by opening The Werkstatt: an independent Porsche-centric shop dedicated to creating a positive automotive experience.
From maintaining your new Porsche to returning your Classic to a reliable driver (and all the Porsches in between) The Werkstatt has you covered! Located in Santa Monica (just west of the 405) The Werkstatt is easily accessible, or we can have your car picked up by a trusted, licensed towing operator with years of experience transporting high-end vehicles.
Hope to see you and your Porsche soon!
