Napa Autowerke

THESE GUYS ARE THE BOMB!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SHOP!!!
Repaired my SUBY clutch perfectly, and are very knowledgeable and kind not to rip you off!
Dave and Andrew, BIG THANKS!
Your trusted gal, Karen:)

Our daughter just picked up her car after having some extensive smog work done. I have been a customer of Dave and Andrews for many years! They are so awesome, professional, trustworthy, and thorough! Thank you guys for taking such great care of our girl!!!

2008 BMW X5 needed new brakes and brake fluid. They got me in quickly, and the repairs were done by the time they stated. I also had them look at an issue with the seatbelt sensor, and while they discovered there was no simple fix, they didn’t charge me for investigating it and called me the same day to provide more info. I’m very satisfied with the service and will return.

Andrew and Dave are the best… I would never take my car anywhere else. I feel really lucky to know they take such good care of my car — and as others have mentioned they are awesome guys besides being great mechanics.

Had my volvo XC90 ignition coils go bad on vacation. They took care of it quickly, got me in and out.

Great team. I brought my car by and they were able to diagnose a tricky repair. I would definitely use them again.

Andrew was kind enough to take a few minutes out of his day yesterday to help me fix an issue I had with my brake light on my BMW.
He not only gave me a couple of parts I needed but did not charge me for them or his time!!!
He and David are by far the best mechanics in town and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone looking for a good and honest mechanic.

My car locks began malfunctioning during our vacation and the helpful mechanics at napa autowerks took a look at my fuse box and fixed it at no charge. Would recommend them to anyone.

Udated ⁵⁄₅₂ 014. Well, they fixed it and no CHARGE!!!, Thank You Fine Young geltmen! I paid $ 600 for brakes. Not even 24 hrs later, same problem. I did notice she I picked up my car, that the emergency brake was not fixed, as stated on my invoice. Also, the brake pedal felt the same, as if I’m alredy applying the brakes. Shoildnt they have done a complete inspection. A Google search tells meeotjer air in the line, postons need lube, or worse case scenario, master cylinder. I don’t thinl they tested the brakes when they finished. Left car this morning dropped off keys on box. Let’s see what kind of servoce I get?! Not happy at all.
They have never OFFERD ME LOANER WHEELS OR TO PICK ME UP EITHER. Hmmmm. Selective service for ‘special’, ppl?!?

Well, this place will will do anything they can to make a dime. Andrew is so arrogant, he will give you a quote for something you don’t need. I was told I needed a new water pump. I decided to get a second opinion so I went to Imports Unlimited. Within ten minutes I was told all I needed was a new reservoir, not a water pump. The quote from Andrew was for $ 953 it cost me $ 220. Now who’s riping people off I wonder? When I confronted Andrew, here are a couple of his excuses… We don’t work on Jaguars! Our rent is $ 5000 and Imports Unlimited probably pays $ 800! I said to him you’d probably take out the old one without out checking it and replace it or you j ust say you did. He said «Probably». I think Dave should look for a new a new partner. I’m just saying get a second opinion, Andrew is not to be trusted.

Everyone loves these guys, they are pretty honest, (unless you want them to do something crooked… dad!) but they are no where near the best mechanics I’ve ever met. The word yahoo comes to mind. Once the guy Burnt himself and another time he suggested I research how to fix it myself cause he didn’t know. Another time he couldnt smog my car. How can you not smog a car at a smog place? The last straw was when my wife brought our pos there to get the timing belt done. Luckily she called me so I could tell her $ 1300 hell no. The stealership was $ 800. $ 700 at Ray’s done right no BS.

I can’t say enough great things about these guys. A few weeks ago the power antenna on my ’03 Sequoia broke. I found an original equipment part through an on-​line vendor that was half of the $ 82.00 that the dealership wanted for the same thing. I brought it to David at Autowerke and he charged me $ 20.00 to take 15 minutes to install it. I thought it was extremely reasonable considering that 2 other places wanted to charge me a full hour of labor to do the same job. One place wanted $ 75.00 and the other was going to be $ 90.00. All in all the whole thing cost me $ 61.00 to get the job done
A few days ago I was struck down again by another bolt of bad luck. The gear shifter arm on the same vehicle broke… at a gas station in Sausalito no less… and I live in Napa… shit, shit and double shit. It had been loose for a couple of weeks but haven’t had the time or money to bring it in for preventative measures before it broke. AAA came to the rescue, got the car to Autowerke in Napa just as Andrew was getting ready to roll down the doors and close for the weekend. He said he had no time to «open up» the patient since he was closing but that he’d look at it on Monday morning. I agonized all weekend since this is also my work vehicle I didn’t know how soon I was going to be able to get back on the road and keep working. Monday morning came and I showed up at the shop around 9:15am and spoke to David who said he was getting ready to look at the car and that he’d call me as soon as he knew what to tell me.
The diagnosis was a broken (lower) gear selector and broken steering wheel mount. The cost… a rectal golden brick. You know what I mean. Needless to say… the car is undriveable plus I don’t really have time to dick around looking for a «second» opinion and plus I trust these guys. I bring all my cars to smog here and with the antenna work David did recently for me and all the positive reviews on Unilocal… I felt confident he was being genuine and fair priced. I gave the go-​ahead with the work but it was too late to place the parts order for Tuesday delivery. That meant the parts would not arrive until Wednesday and he would TRY to put it all back together that afternoon. He explained that he could not promise me though since there were other cars ahead of me that needed to be finished and there just might not be enough time to get mine done before they closed Wednesday afternoon to remain closed until Monday because of the 4^th of July holiday. I explained also to them that anything they could do to help me out would be appreciated. If I didn’t get the car back by Wednesday it meant having to pay either $ 400.00 for an SUV for 2 days or $ 360.00 for a minivan for 3 days so I could still work during the weekend. At this point I just left it to their capable hands.
To my surprise and delight I got a call in the middle of the day on Tuesday from Andrew letting me know that they got the part early and that the car was all back together and ready to roll. I don’t know how they were able to get the job done so fast but I give them high praise for taking the time to care about my predicament. They also saved me $ 400.00 for the rental I was going to pick up in order to work during the weekend if the car was not going to be ready on Wednesday. I will continue to bring my cars here and will recommend them to anyone looking for a fair and reputable shop with genuinely nice mechanics.
Oops, I almost forgot to include this. When Andrew called to say the Sequoia was ready he told me that he charged the battery and in doing so found that the positive terminal on the battery cable was broken and wasn’t making good contact. He was concerned that one day I might find myself driving a client and that I would turn off the car and not be able to restart due to a faulty battery connection that would not have been visible to the naked eye. He included this in the work that was done and only charged the cost of the part… a paltry $ 8.00. Kudos to all the staff at Autowerke.

I was test-​driving a used truck and brought it in for the guys to look it over. David was excellent about staying in touch with me throughout the process, notifying me of repairs needed, letting me know I don’t necessarily have to go further with a compression test (trying to help me save $), even though I had told him I wanted one. They gave a thorough overview of the repairs the truck would need — putting my mind at ease so that I had a good idea of what I’d be getting into if I bought the truck. Great customer service and would go back if I lived in the area!

My friends and I jokingly call David and Andrew «Click and Clack» because they always joke around and make us laugh. Feel free to shop around for brakes and/​or any other mechanic work, but why bother? Autowerks has diagnosed and fixed whistling and other strange noises, bent rims, leaks, and pretty much everything in my BMW. They have done most of the regular work on all my various vehicles for at least the last 10 years. Before buying a used vehicle, I take it to Andrew and David. I know the quality of service I’ve received is not unique. Friends and friends of friends are treated really well by Autowerks.
Their location is great too. Sometimes I drop off a car for regular service then walk downtown for a movie or lunch. I have been dropped off and picked up at work and also used a loaner car at no extra charge and without having to fill out extra paperwork. One time, on a nice sunny day, David carried a chair out onto the front lawn so I could read and enjoy the sun while waiting. These guys are the real deal, know their business, and always make me laugh. What more could anyone want from a mechanic? Read the other reviews if you think this is too good to be true.
One more thing, while at BMW for recall repairs recently, the dealership estimated my other various and sundry repairs to be close to $ 5,000.00. With Autowerks, it was $ 2,000.00. Do that math. Neither number is great but you don’t have to be a genius to know which number has more integrity. Autowerks is generating good Karma and I hope they are rewarded in all their endeavors.

The fact Napa Autowerke has a 5 star rating does not surprise me in the least.
I am arguably the least mechanically inclined person, so always concerned that I will get fleeced unknowingly. My car had been neglected for far too long, and needed a lot of work. Chose Napa Autowerke based on strong word of mouth recommendations, and they did not disappoint. Andrew was patient and upfront with all of his diagnosis, their work was very efficient, and their pricing was amazingly the most reasonable.
I am grateful for their honesty and am now a customer for life. If you want peace of mind that your interests are their best interests, don’t hesitate to take your car to Napa Autowerke. You won’t be disappointed!

I came in today with an emergency, my Mustang had lost half it’s belt and the tension assembly was non-​existant, it was completely disintergrated! Today was my birthday and I had a friend who was taking me out too lunch, so I didn’t want to deal with fixing it myself. I pulled up and a gentleman came out with no hesitation and looked it over and told me too come back in an hour and it would be fixed! And it was, I never take my cars to mechanics because my father is one and I’ve learned a lot over the years and I do it myself. But if I need to go to a mechanic for any reason (like today) these cats will be who I go too! Thanks fellas for making my day a little easier!

Honest, savvy, cool, generous… Doesn’t sound like I am giving a review for a mechanic, but it is true. These guys are the best in town and cannot be beat. Once they even made a peanut butter and honey sandwich for my 4 year old! Now that is service!

I went to Autowerkes on Yajome St in Napa yesterday to get my Smog done. While there I asked them to double check my windshield whiper fluid. It wasn’t working, so I thought it was empty. They found that the hose was clogged, and replaced it for free. Ok… biz is dwn for most, $‘s tight, & these guys were not only HONEST, but GENEROUS… Oh…& let’s not forget I’m a woman going to a mechanic. Here’s their phone #707−255−1922. Thank you very much!
PS. To the last review… Yes Dave & Andrew are Amazing!

5 *‘s! Honest, dependable and honest!
Oh and David and Andrew are HAWT! Which david? Why, both of course!

I would go back again. They will tell you exactly what is wrong and fix what you need, nothing more nothing less.
One surprise, they charge $ 125/​hour. Ouch.
