What clients say about Don Wise Autowerks in McCampbell (CA)
Had a pre-purchase inspection done with Don for a used car I was looking at. He did a very thorough job with the inspection and gave me the confirmation I was hoping for to move forward with the purchase, going through all the details of what he found. I would not hesitate to go back to him for maintenance for my new (old) Porsche!
Don has an absolute wealth of knowledge on Porsches and his shop does excellent work.
Not only that, but they're super friendly and very helpful. They did a great job on my Porsche 997.
Highly recommend!
Worked with Don and Amia (pardon me if I spell wrong) with my Porsche MacanS today. Very KNOWLEDGEABLE and very KIND people. Probably the kindest auto shop I had ever interacted with. The diagnosis is also FREE even though they spent great effort and time on it. I really appreciate it
Took my 911 here for new front and rear brakes, an issue with my rear taillight, and replaced PDK transmission oil. All work was done in a timely manner and is all working great now. Don and his technicians are great people. Highly recommend
Don is an expert in Porsche's and his knowledge is unprecedented in the Porsche community. Don is extremely trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. I HIGHLY recommend Don and his team of A-1 mechanics. The place is a true Diamond in the rough. 10 Stars if I could give him that many. 2006 Porsche 911 S for reference.
This is the only place I’ve come to get my 2018 Porsche MacanS serviced since I bought the car in 2020! Don and his team are wonderful and do an amazing job! I would not hesitate to bring your car in for any type of work needed.
Had the 40k service done at 34K with Don. This is my first time going to an Indy shop on the Macan. Don was super nice and helpful, answered all my questions. Dropped it off early morning and picked it up in the afternoon. Car feels great! Don and team noticed my front wipers were worn out and didn’t charge me labor to replace them - much appreciated! Also provided feedback on the engine valve cover leak and to see if it’ll be covered by Porsche (warranty just ran out 4 weeks ago). Overall, highly recommend Don Wise Autowerks! Don and his team do great work!
Im new to the Porsche community and I had my first business with Don for a pre-purchase inspection of my future porsche boxster. Don is extremely nice, down to earth and very knowledgeable. He carved out some time for me even though he and his crew seemed very busy. I was very happy with the service and will consider this my main point of contact for any issues with my car.
Thanks!
Don is a very helpful and humble guy. Although he's very busy for most of the day, he finds time to work with you to find the right solutions. It's not cheap, but the work is very well done. Porsche specialist, also works on Mercedes, BMW.
I moved to the bay area a little under 2 years ago, since then I've been to Don Wise Autowerks periodically. Don takes the time to talk to you about your car, speaks to you as an equal, and excels in customer relations. We all know how costly Porsche maintenance and repair can be, however, I find he is conservative in his approach to diagnosing and repairing your aircooled Porsche, as to not run up your expenses. At the same time, he will give honest, sage advice, to prioritize up coming concerns. The many decades of experience and knowledge that Don wields is apparent with the quality of work and large customer base he has.
Nothing but 5 stars from this satisfied
customer.

Awesome experience - Don is a friendly guy, knows his craft, his parking lot is full of beauties, and he is happy to hear you out and share Porsche stories. Couldn't recommend enough.
Great knowledge of Porsche from current to the way back. A pleasure to talk to and very easy and accommodating to work with. Would not trust my Porsche to any other.
Had Donny do the 60K service on my Cayman and it was a no drama, honest-to-goodness affair. His knowledge is surpassed only by his candor and honesty.
Donny will be doing the 80K, 100K and beyond on all of my Porsches going forward.
very few people I describe as an "expert" Don is one of them!
Beyond his expertise when it comes to Porsche is his integrity.
It is a privilege to use Don with any of my Porsche needs and to have full confidence with I refer someone to him!
I recently bought a '01 Porsche Boxster. After a pre-purchase inspection, the dealer noted that the clutch would need to be replaced in the near future. It was grabbing at the high point and smelled a bit. I took the car to Don Wise Autowerks after reading the stellar reviews here. I had Don replace the clutch, engine mount (rear vibrations around 3k), and inspect the IMS bearing. It took a day to get the parts (they were backordered), but in and out the car was done within a few days. Don did very professional work and showed me the used parts that were on the car. The clutch plate and clutch was glazed and indeed needed to be replaced. He also replaced the engine mount which fixed the rear vibrations. The car drives like it's new now! Don came right on budget from his estimate. Overall, a very genuine mechanic that does good work! I will be back if I have any other needs. I would recommend his services to my closest friends. Thanks!
This is the ONLY place I take my Porsche. Don and his team provide excellent service. An example : My alternator went out & after a night on the trickle charge I thought I could make it over. Unfortunately my care died only a few blocks away. I explained my situation to Don and he sent a mechanic over with an extra battery to assist me in completing the journey to the shop.
I'm completely grateful for the good work, the professional approach and great service Don Wise Autowerks provided. My car has never run better. Truly! Honest and excellent work.
What a great place to take your Porsche, friendly staff, great workshop and knowledgeable people. Don Wise, the owner is always on hand and is always happy to discuss any aspect of your car, pricing is excellent, quality is tops, I wouldn't take my 911 anywhere else
We come in to have our car serviced when it is due. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. They always let us know of things to keep an eye on or that may need repair soon without pushing that we have it done right there and then. We appreciate it.
Good communication, as always: let me know what they've found and offer options, opinions and prognoses. Not the cheapest place, but worth the extra in my experience.
