About us

Shark Werks, Inc. located in Northern California's Bay Area, is owned by long-time Porsche enthusiast Alex Ross (Sharky) and mechanical wizard James Hendry, with successful entrepreneurs Joan Wood, Daniel Kennedy, and Maria Conneely. We live, breathe, own and drive Porsches. Out of the box Porsche has always delivered what we believe to be the world's greatest daily driven sports car but for some people that just isn't enough. We want more. We crave insane levels of horsepower, tightly tuned handling and serious braking. We also like to look good doing it, which is why we offer performance, aesthetic packages and lightweight products from TechArt, Tubi, EVOMSit, RSS, IPD, Cargraphic, Brembo, Ohlins, Bilstein as well as wheels from Forgeline, HRE & Champion Motorsport. These are just some of our own personal favorite products but we also sell many other parts from different vendors and with our expert techs can install them on site.

Because we love Porsches so much, we treat each and every one that comes through our doors as one of our own. We only offer and install components that have been tested on our own vehicles, including Shark Werks' line of in-house developed products. That is our motto and we stand by it. It's that simple. Our performance kits offer gobs of power and fun for every level of enthusiast and have been tried and tested to guarantee perfection and satisfaction. Whether you want to be dialed in for your driver's education / track day or a canyon carver we can cater to your personal needs. Shark Werks Inc, is also one of very few places in the US that can open, rebuild and strengthen the GT3 engine with factory tooling and our own custom parts. Having downright naughty power, extremely tight handling and awesome stopping power isn't something to take lightly. Let our panel of "been there and done it" friendly staff help you get where you want. Whether you're looking for a mild tune up or a custom high horsepower modification package for your Porsche 996/997/991/Cayman/Boxster feel free to contact us on (510) 651-0300, email us at or drop by the shop where you'll usually find an enthusiastic customer/owner on site to talk things through with.
