Sent in my speedometer/odometer to fix a broken gear. The quality of work is amazing along with the visual documentation of the steps. If only I was closer I’d bring the whole car in to get it to 100%!

Brought my 718 Spyder to Charlie’s for a new exhaust installation. These guys were thorough and quick, and fairly priced. I love the small family vibe of this coastal shop and everyone I worked with was awesome. Will be coming back for maintenance and future car work!

Drove from LA to get the speedometer repaired on my 911. I was told it would be ready by the end of the day but they got it done in a little over an hour! I was home by lunch time. Great experience.
