Apex Autowerks in
Clifton (NJ)

I highly recommend this shop, very professional and they all know what they’re doing. This became my shop for maintenance and for upgrades. As an update; after first visit for just maintenance I came back for a DME stage 2 w/ Soul comp down pipe for my 2019 Cayman Base. I am sooo happy with the extra HP and the sound, it’s so much faster now it’s like another car. John as the owner really takes care of his costumers and Carlos was always polite and made sure I was informed and satisfied, I can’t recommend enough this place for car enthusiasts, they communicate really well and if you like great work you need to come to Apex Autowerks.

The Staff at Apex Autowerks are top notch! They do a great job on my Macan and I love going there as they always have some sweet cars to check out. They are always looking to save me $ and give me expert advice. I am very comfortable recomending them!

The Apex guys are at the top of their field; there is no one else I would trust my car with. The moment I met John, his knowledge of the car and his transparent approach to explaining how everything works, what to expect, and the best options to make sure the car is serviced the right way are simply unmatched. I needed my IMS replaced — not an easy task, and one that can be very costly in the wrong hands — and they did an amazing job. If you need an expert to service your Porsche, BMW, or any other performance car, look no further. I went through a few shops before I found Apex, and when you meet a real Porsche expert, you will understand the difference. Fair, honest, and trustworthy — that’s a winner in my book. Highly recommend!

The best auto shop, John the owner , Carlos, & George and the rest of his team are so professional! I would highly recommend if you have a luxury car they know their stuff they are professionally trained, Even if is not a luxury car they are trustworthy & give you a very detailed information about your car with pictures to prove it. No auto shop does this. They go above and beyond to make sure you’re happy in the end. Super happy with them I would highly recommend.

Nice job on my 2010, 987.2 I called around a few places because I was having a hard time finding someone to do the gauge face installation on my car. Someone on Facebook recommended these guys and they did a great job. Nice shop , good service , knowledgeable Thanks again for the help! , guys

Great partner in keeping my Porsche running and looking its best. They are extremely well versed in P-cars and complete work on time and at budget. I highly recommend Apex Autoweks!

10 out of 10 experience working with John and Carlos. They took care of my classic 996 turbo S and looked over it with a fine tooth comb. I was unable to pick the car up and John was able to drive it to my house due to scheduling conflicts. I will not go anywhere else. Looking forward to in the future doing a major job welding all of the coolant lines on my 996 as well as bringing my other cars there for a health check. I also received images of the entire underneath of the car Along with records of its health. Very thorough, professional, with integrity.

Outstanding Porsche knowledge and determining the type of set up your car needs in alignment with your driving style. Very thorough with major attention to detail.

Impeccable service. Very communicative throughout the entire process. Everybody treats your car like it is their own. I would highly recommend Apex for any of your vehicle needs. They can do just about anything. I love my new car play and rear view camera.

These guys are excessively detail oriented and very good at what they do. Lead times are a bit on the longer side, but the work is very high quality and the pricing is fair. 100% recommend over taking your car to the dealership.

Quick and quality work. They even gave me a free multi point inspection of my vehicle while doing work on it. Nice guys, quality work and good pricing. You can't go wrong here. Car, 987.1 Cayman S.

5 Stars – Outstanding Service for My Porsche 911! I can’t say enough great things about Apex Auto Werks. They helped me tremendously with my Porsche 911. From the moment I brought it in, their professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail were clear. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly and treated my car like it was their own. The quality of their work is top-notch, and their team truly understands high-performance vehicles. It’s hard to find a shop that combines expertise with such excellent customer service. I highly recommend Apex Auto Werks to anyone who wants honest, reliable, and expert care for their car—especially if you drive a Porsche!

Apex delivered excellent service again. This time mounting race tires for my Porsche.

I’ve been patronizing this shop for over 10 years since they were recommended highly by some PCA members that I met at an auto cross. I have nothing but praise and respect for their knowledge, honesty and devotion to their craft. If you’re a ‘’ car guy “ just looking for maintenance or a wud be racer and especially if you track, they are your guys. Service is super and assessments are honest and to the point. Try them out and you will never look back. George and John are super, young, innovative, knowledgeable!

I couldn’t be more impressed with the speed and efficiency of Apex Autowerks. I dropped my car off on Friday morning, and by the end of the day, it was good as new! What stood out to me the most was their communication. They kept me updated throughout the day. John is a pro at what he does, and his team is a great reflection of his skills and dedication. They’ve got the whole customer experience down—from quick repairs to making sure you feel taken care of. Highly recommend!

John did work on my MK6 Golf TDI about a year ago and it has been absolutely solid - couldn't be happier with it. I recently brought it in to be serviced and they diagnosed and repaired it quickly and John made sure to keep me in the loop as he was working on it. Not sure there is any better shop in New Jersey. Thanks fellas.

Highly highly recommend. I had my Macan in for an oil change and sunroof drain cleaning, and they did an excellent job of inspecting the entire car, with pictures. Carlos explained everything in detail before any work was done, and the work was excellent. I also know from the inspection what to include in the next service. Wish I had known about them years ago.

I am not one to write reviews. But, the sense of elation and gratitude I feel for having discovered Apex Autowerks inspired to do so! As a Porsche enthusiast, I was growing tired of the exorbitant repair and maintenance costs being charged by my dealer. I was also worried that novice service people were learning the ropes on my valued Carrera and Boxster. From the first interaction I had with Apex, and through multiple service calls and mods, I can say that I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of honesty, expertise, professionalism and courtesy that these guys display—all with costs well below that of the dealer. They have earned my business for life and have greatly enhanced the joy of being a Porsche owner! (I have also brought in my for equally great service!)

I've tried the rest... Apex is really the best. John and Carlos were upfront and transparent about the issues with my car and the options I had to remedy/fix everything to a level that was above and beyond. I'm extremely happy with how everything came out and the assurance that if I encounter any issues with the repairs the work is guaranteed.

I found out about Apex Auto Werks through online automotive enthusiast forums. I was looking to have an alignment performed on my 2019 VW GTI (mk7.5) from a staff with a weekend warrior (autocross/track-day) mindset. Not a regular dealership tech who just aligns a car to track (drive) straight with no desire or know-how of camber, toe or caster preferences for performance. Nick helped arrange the service with professional email communication and John the technician was well versed in performance knowledge. Even had his own track car in the shop. After the alignment was completed, he provided me with an alignment print out and explanation of the "OEM+" specs performed. John also went out on a test drive with me as a passenger and then driver to see if all was to my liking. In conclusion: I highly recommend this performance shop for all automotive performance mindset individuals!

If you are looking for a shop with friendly, intelligent, and knowledgeable guys; a shop that addresses your needs and doesn't oversell; a shop that doesn't overcharge; then this is it. After researching service options for my car, I decided to travel 75 minutes to Apex Autowerks. I wasn't disappointed. I will note that, when I arrived, the small parking lot was full and the office and waiting area was cluttered. So, I wasn't sure I made the right choice. I suggest not allowing this to affect your perception of the business. I would instead prioritize this team's passion for what they do. Without doubt, I will be returning for my next service need.

The team at Apex provided exceptional service. My Porsche 911 experienced a PDK failure at 29,000 miles because of an issue with the speed and distance sensor. Porsche's only solution was to replace the entire transmission, which would cost over $20,000. However, Apex is one of only a few places nationwide with the expertise to replace the sensor and accurately recalibrate the transmission. Now, my car is performing better than ever. I appreciate Apex's service and plan to continue using them in the future.

Here is the truth about this shop , from getting your tires inflated to tuning your old Penske box truck for burnouts this is the only place to go ! Absolutely amazing people bar none ! Knowledgeable, honest and professional And above all else they are humble and make it a great place to be to see your dreams come true. I can’t recommend them enough from John ,George , Reggie and the rest of the crew at Apex thank you all for helping me turn what was a poster and a dream into tire smoking reality !!!!

A super big thank you to the amazing team at Apex. I am beyond grateful for the tireless effort they put in. I originally brought in my 2018 Porsche Macan GTS for a steady cel light. Several trouble codes popped up with random misfires suggesting camshaft issues. A diagnosis/ inspection was set in place .Shortly later I received a very detailed description with pics of what parts/services my car needed to perform efficiently. Services will begin/original parts purchased once you approve it/ sign. No surprises/ shortcuts /gimmicks. Any questions I had were answered quickly/diligently by Carlos and Aaron( Apex service advisors). The technicians worked promptly /meticulously! I am super stoked with the outcome and couldn't be happier with the results. Its like night and day. Cel light / trouble codes are gone , replaced front suspension, exhaust leak resolved, alignment / balance needed and etc. The car feels like the first day I got it. The handling is on point, the ride is smoother and the exhaust is music to my ears. I am loving the car and can't wait to tear up the streets again, jk!

Great team at Apex that just love cars. They’re all knowledgeable and professional. I’ve brought them my daily driver and my toys and I’m always been happy with the results.

The team at APEX was great, very respectful and understanding of what our specific needs were. They were willing to address our concerns and Answer our questions. We were greeted with kindness and respect from the beginning to the end of our interaction. Great guys. Will definitely be back
