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!

Charlie's is the gold standard. Period.
Everything from vehicle knowledge, mechanical skills, customer service, car community events, and everything in between, there is no one better.
They have not only repaired my cars to an A+ standard many times through out the years, they have also taken the time (sometimes hours!) just to help me with anything from understanding my repairs to getting a new vehicle. They're also a fun bunch to chat with.
Charlie's is a gem. There just aren't many shops like them anymore. I highly recommend them and truly wish I could give them 6 stars.

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.

Would be five stars if it cost a little bit less but in every other aspect. Very good

Charlie's foreign car is the best mechanic I have been to, period. I have brought both my 911s (2014 and a 2015 gts) to them over the years. Charlies fixed an accident related suspension issue quickly (1 week) that another shop tried (and failed) to fix 5 times over a year, they were methodical and precise. I have gone to them for routine maintenance as well. Highly recommended to me and I highly recommend to anyone.

I was pretty set on buying a 40 year old Mercedes and chose this shop to do a pre-purchase inspection. I am a 31 year old woman and was treated so well by everyone I interacted with at this shop. They spent a little over an hour looking at the car and Niko spent 20 minutes explaining the findings to me, speaking directly to me, looking directly at me — not at my boyfriend, or the man who was selling the car. He was patient and direct but not condescending. Women reading this will understand how important it is to be treated so well in this setting. I will be bringing my new car and my other car here for service moving forward! Thank you!!

If you own a Porsche, this is the mechanic to go to! I have a 2015 Macan with inherent problems of timing cover leak and exhaust crack. The former mechanic (who I used to trust) wanted 20K for the repair. Out the door at Charlies for 1k. Competent, clean and friendly, even washed the car.

This place is great. I went in to get a normal service on my Mercedes and not only did they have it back to me promptly, they called me and told me about issues with my tires that I was completely unaware of and no other service provider had mentioned. Derrick went above and beyond and even coached me through what to say to the tire place I had bought the tires from so I could resolve the issue. If you're looking for a place that treats their customers right and does it at a fair price, look no further. I can't recommend this place enough.
