Love the shop the work and quality of the outcome. My car always seems to run better after a visit . The shop the mechanic and the front desk all helpful knowledgeable and great all round. Thank you
Extensive repairs, $7k worth, wasn't completed properly. When it was brought back, I was told when I have more work for them, they will complete the previous work. Looking forward to the response.
Thank you to Autumn and the crew at FW, who were extremely helpful and patient helping us navigate our Outback repairs and giving us honest advice. They do excellent work. There’s no other place to take your Subaru to!
Expertly diagnosed and solved a problem on my 2009 2.5XT Outback. Great communication, friendly service, obviously know their stuff in and out. I’ll be back!
Spent half a day at the shop while they tuned up my AC system, inspected the front end, and kept me company. Had a great time, received good work and clear communication. Much appreciated. I'll happily return.
EDIT: Still great! I've been here a few times now and its the best shop experience I've had to date. Cannot recommend highly enough.
They had great availability, online scheduling was super easy and had openings the next day. I was reverting an STI back to stock, and they helped me remove an AOS, and install the OEM PVC system.
I highly recommend FW Motorsports to anyone needing work on their vehicle. They fixed my air conditioner same day. The blower motor had died on my Subaru Impreza, and, in addition to replacing the motor and another small part, they replaced all the fluids and installed a new filter. Some of this work was at my discretion and cost $950. The minute I turned on my AC, cold air blew out. I clearly had been dealing with tepid air for a long time! Their customer service with Autumn at the front desk is second to none. My car has served me well for 13 years, so I consider this money well spent.
This is the best Subaru shop I have ever been to. Max and his staff are very professional and do reliable work. I have had my 2007 STI since...2007 and been to a few shops in the decades in between. None had matched the professionalism and passion FW has. I recently had a fairly catastrophic engine mishap earlier this year and brought my car in for repairs. Turns out I needed a complete rebuild/replacement of the long block. Max and his team have given new life into an old soul. Since then, I have been getting some other things replaced that I was putting off before the incident, and the results have been fantastic.
If you live in the greater Sac area, there is no other place you should bring your Subaru or other Japanese car other than FW. The best of the best!
Max at FW always does great work on my WRX. Super knowledgeable and honest. They have done everything from patching flats, radiator, suspension, AC, fluids, maintenance.
Will definitely return!
If you own a Subaru, you really shouldn't be taking it anywhere else. Max and his team are phenomenal. They are fairly priced, transparent, really care about you and your car for the long haul, and are as helpful and friendly as you could ask for. They're also honest about the urgency of repairs needed. They don't try to startle you into dumping a bunch of money into your car. They tell you what's really necessary and what can wait. That alone stands out to me as something you don't see in most of the auto repair field. I will also mention that I am a woman, since it can usually be rough for us to find mechanics that aren't taking advantage of us. You won't regret trusting these guys with your car!
10/10- I recommend any folks come here for brand-specific (Subaru among others) needs. Max is very knowledgeable with a wide array of skills, and Autumn was very prompt, professional, and helpful coordinating services. I’ll certainly be returning any time I need service that I cannot perform myself.
Pre purchase inspection was performed. They got me in same day and gave some great recommendations for issues that should be addressed.
Autumn was great and very knowledgeable about our Subaru.
We will be using them for our Subaru work.
Max and the folks at FW Motorsports do outstanding work and deserve every Subaru owners support! My car is a pure race car and requires some very special technical TLC! This is the place if you are modifying or just maintaining your vehicle!
I had a Subaru catalytic converter issue and FW Motorsports offered me a few options. After deciding, they were quick and professional! They even helped me take it for the smog check nearby. I appreciate having a Subaru specialist in the Rocklin area and veteran owned! 🇺🇸
I took my vehicle to this shop hoping for them to fix the problems I have been having for some time now and turns out that they fixed some of the problems and totally over looked the other issues the was completely noticeable. I told them if it's anything you see that needs to be replaced just do it . I also asked them to replace my front and rear brakes and rotors they didn't do anything to the front only the back. I said that I drive my kid in this car and need it to be safe they words was its fine if you need them to be done come back next time . Needless to say this shop over charge me for half the work
My first time taking my Subaru Forester for a rest break job. They did a great job, got me right in, sent over the estimate which was fair prices and found upon inspection worn out bushing…which I saw when I did the front breaks. All in all, great place and I will be back.
Staff are very knowledgeable and professional. I brought my 2009 Nissan 370Z in for clutch issues. The initial estimate, which I approved, included replacement of both clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. However after work was completed, I was told the master cylinder did not need replacement. Only the slave cylinder needed replacement. I appreciated such honesty and integrity. I also noticed the shop itself is clean and organized. This was my first visit. I’ll likely come back when needed. — Fred C
Brought my JDM HDJ81 Diesel Land Cruiser to FW Motors and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Max and the team really know their stuff—had new O-rings installed on the fuel pump, replaced shocks, brakes, rotors, did full fluid flushes, and more. Everything was done with care and attention to detail. The truck runs smoother than ever. If you have a JDM vehicle, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!
Found this business and trusted it based on Google reviews, so I need to pay it forward. The reviews did not steer me wrong. Wonderful service on my vehicle, fair prices, and great customer service as well. Was provided a loaner vehicle, so I didn't have to wait a few hours for my car to be done. Will definitely go back if my car ever needs further services, and would recommend to my friends & family.
Great experience with FW Motorsports! They truly know their Subarus. My is 17 Crosstrek has been running like a dream since my visit. What I liked the most about FW Motorsports is that they share knowledge and advice with the customer. I'll definitely be going back in the future.
As a beginner standard driver, Max helped me understand and learn more about what goes into the maintenance of my vehicle and taking care of the transmission. He calmed my anxiety making sure we smoothed out all the rough parts of the car and taking his time with it. I will be back in the future
I'm very thankful for their honesty every time I visit with an issue with my Subaru. And this last time I very much appreciated that they waited for me to rush over and pick up my car after a very long day. Many shops wouldn't have given me a courtesy call and would've locked up the shop before I got there, and that would've left me without a car and, more importantly, the car seat to pick my kiddo up from school!
FW Motorsport has been a really great resource for both having repairs done and as a resource for being a Subaru enthusiast, I have had three major visits with two different Legacy GT's and the staff continues to be capable and knowledgeable.
From a indepth inspection when I purchased my latest legacy, to performing maintenance tasks I was either to busy, or figured were above my skill level they have been great.
Absolutely recommend.
Very pleased with the service FW Motorsports provided! So glad they caught my radiator about to fail before I had problems. Quicker, more reasonably priced and better service than Subaru. Worth the trek from the Bay Area.
My Subaru was experiencing issues after a service with a different shop. Max took the time to listen to the problems over the phone and was able to get me in immediately. The shop is clean and comfortable and the service is fantastic. I am so grateful to have found an honest and experienced auto repair shop, and will definitely be returning!
FW has always been professional and upstanding when it comes to service and caring for the customer and their needs. I would recommend there services to anyone that is in need of car servicing. Always a pleasure.
Since 2018 And 4 different setup's A few suggestions do's and don'ts all regular services and maintenance on my FORD done by Paul and the crew. Wouldn't take the Focus anywhere else.
Obvious experts in Subaru. Huge diversity of services offered for both stock and modified cars. Good diagnoses and recommendations on needed maintenance and/or repairs. I had my 2018 STI inspected after purchasing and FW inspected everything quickly and installed new brakes, spark plugs, major fluids, and 60,000 maintenance schedule in two days no appointment needed. Both Max and Paul had good communication regarding the work being done and always emailed quotes before any work was performed. Car runs like a dream now.
