The Autowerks workshop floor Est. 2002
Our Story

Built on precision, not promises.

Soner — known to everyone as Sonny — started Autowerks with a simple idea: treat every car like the customer is paying attention to every bolt. Two decades later, that's still how the workshop runs.

Working alongside Dee, the husband-and-wife team has built a workshop trusted by drivers of European prestige, performance and exotic vehicles across Sydney. Many of our clients have been with us for over a decade — they came in once for a service and never bothered going anywhere else.

We've stayed independent on purpose. No dealership upsell. No quotas to hit. Just the right work, on the right car, at the right time.

What guides the work

Four principles.
Every job. Every time.

i.

Diagnose before you replace

Parts get swapped only after we know what's actually wrong. We use manufacturer-grade diagnostic equipment, not pattern recognition.

ii.

Honest with what we find

We tell you what your car needs now, what can wait, and what you can safely ignore. No upsell theatre.

iii.

Right tools for the brand

European prestige cars need brand-specific equipment and procedures. We've invested accordingly — and we keep investing.

iv.

Verified, not estimated

Every dyno tune ends with a verification run. Every service ends with a road test. The work either delivers or it doesn't.
