SharkWerks

Great experience. Alex worked with my schedule and got me in almost immediately, no hassle. Both Dan/​Alex are cool dudes doing what they love. I own a base 991 w/​o PSE and wanted a little more soundtrack, they gave me just that. Looking fwd to my relationship with sharkwerks. Thanks guys!

Dan & Alex are the best; perfect experience, with all delivered as promised and 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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Alex and his team are the BEST. BEST. They are customer friendly, caring and respectful. They will NEVER sell you something you don’t need (even if you want it!) b/​c they are too concerned with the long term relationship. Have no worries going here you are in great hands.

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!!!

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 Unilocal.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.

Alex is excellent! I live in Vegas and they shipped out the parts to my dealer with ease. It is always a pleasure to do business with them. Thank you for all the parts for my 2010 GT3

Alex «Sharky» Ross really knows his way around P-​cars
He hooked us up with an awesome set of HRE wheels for our 997 Turbo, great knowledge and they fit perfectly !

If you own a Porsche go here! Their products are top notch and they offer outstanding customer service. The only people I’ll let touch my GT3…

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.

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

Alex, James, Dan, and crew give you the best service in the industry for Porsche modifications. Their knowledge, products, and results will far exceed your expectations.
Visit them for your future Pcar mods and parts!

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.

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.

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…

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.
