I scoured all the Porsche forums for service recommendations to get my spark plugs and brake fluid replaced. After narrowing the list down to five shops and calling them to discuss, I made the decision to go with Don Wise — I am glad I did.
They are a small shop (Don plus 3 mechanics) and they really give you that personal touch. Their knowledge and experience of Porsches matches their passion for these amazing cars. Ali was the mechanic who worked on my car and he made the time to look at and discuss anything that was on my mind (at no charge) — he looked at an annoying window air leak, very intermittent difficulty shifting into first gear, etc. He also showed me what potential issues to be aware of in the future. I never felt like I was asking a stupid question (which I did many times).

Don is a Porsche owners dream. He is honest and I completely trust him. If he says it needs to be done it does. If it doesn’t need to be done he tell you. Super nice person with a great team and some day when he retires it will be a huge loss to Porsche owners in this area.
I have taken my 2000 Carrera to him a half dozen times and always the same excellent service. Plus his knowledge of Porsche automobiles is hard to match. Porsche dealerships in the area can replace parts, Don and his team are real mechanics which can fix, not just replace.

Don knows porsches. Took my 2003 Boxster S to him when clutch went out recently. He took me into his shop and showed me another Boxster that was having the clutch replaced — and not only detailed the procedure but explained other things he recommended that we look at — based upon the age of the car. He charged a fair price (I looked around) and completed the work precisely on schedule and budget. Previously I’d only gone to brracing and there is a world of difference with Don. My boxster has a new home for service.

I have a 2009 Porsche Cayenne, and the driveshaft needed to be replaced. Don had the replacement part at his shop in 1 day, and with parts and labor was less than half of what I was quoted by the local Porsche dealer. The work was done promptly and properly. These guys are pro’s. From now on, I will only take my car to Don’s shop.

Don Wise did a pre-​purchase inspection on my 1996 993 Carrera 4 Cabriolet back in 2003, and has been looking after it ever since, first over at his previous place, and then at his own Autowerks.
I take my car in once or twice a year and just tell Don to do what’s necessary to keep it in fine shape. I’ve always trusted him to do what’s required without padding the bill with unnecessary work, and he’s always repaid that trust. Nobody should expect (or want!) top-​notch Porsche service to be ‘cheap’, but Don is great value.
A super guy… Don’t ever retire, Don!

Don has been working on my ’87 Carrera coupe for nearly two years. He’s honest, knowledgable, and a great guy! I have been very satisfied with the quality of work that his shop does.
My only issues are that his calendar stays pretty full so it can take a while to get an appointment. And the repairs sometimes take longer than they should. Both of which are important to me since the car is my daily driver.

A cool little Porsche shop located off Highway 880⁄17 in campbell near camden ave.
Don runs the shop well with the help of Rolph and Worth. Sorry to hear that Worth will be leaving soon for Nebraska :(we will miss you!!!
Don has been in business here for awhile but ran another very reputable Porsche shop in Campbell for many years before.
Lots of experience combined with a great attitude makes this shop one of my favs to deal with.

For the last twenty years I have brought all three of my Porsche’s (83′ 944, 89′ 944 S2, & 2000 Boxster) to Don for service. He and his crew have been nothing less than fantastic! Dealers and competitors don’t even come close, by any measure. Integrity, honesty, and quality define the level of service and support one can always expect. Don and his team are friendly, knowledgeable, highly trained and experienced seasoned professionals who are always accessible to answer any of your questions, to give advice, or just share a good chat with.
Never in all my years have I met a finer crew. The list of dedicated customers (including myself) is quite extensive and they have been an continued favorite of the Loma Prieta Porsche club for as long as I can remember. Hands down Don’s Autowerks is the BEST Independent Porsche mechanic in the Bay Area, if not Northern California. But don’t just take my word for it, go down and visit them and see for yourself. I think you’ll be impressed.
As to the bad reviews posted on here I find these to be highly suspicious and suspect its a competitor posing as a customer. Something not uncommon on Unilocal

I have had my 1987 Carrera 3.2 serviced here a few times and the work is conscientious and the prices fair. Replacing the alternator wasn’t exactly cheap, but overall the price was fair and they did a great job. They are a supporter of the local PCA chapter (Loma Prieta Region) and frequently advertise in the Post, which is how I found them. Don also gave me a good recommendation for a good local upholstery shop (Jeda Generations).
