Fantastic service… knowledgeable, friendly, and true enthusiasts! Thanks again!


Oct 07, 2024

Sublime is by far the best Porsche shop on the planet. These guys are the most honest and knowledgeable mechanics I've ever met. I can't thank them enough!! You guys ROCK!!


Sep 07, 2024

Awesome service from Ares and Levan!!! Thanks guys!


Sep 07, 2024

These guys know what they’re doing! The best part is they give you the best customer service and make you feel like home. They did an amazing job on my 1976 Porsche 911S. The price and turn around time for what they did on my car was excellent! I want to buy more Porsches just to deal with them. Koko (owner) Ares (Shop Manager) and Levon (Technician). And staff are the coolest team I’ve ever dealt with. Thank you!

The best auto shop I've ever been to! I just recently purchased my first 911 and had a ton of questions when coming in for my first service. From the initial phone call to the end result, the process was nothing short of professional. They took plenty of time to explain all the things they were doing to the car, recommendations, and general info for a new air cooled 911 owner. Prices were more than fair and the work done has been top notch. I'm writing this review with a permeant grin on my face because the work they did truly woke up my 911!! If you have a Porsche and need to get some work done, let me help you end your search and just take it to these guys. You'll be more than pleased.

Top shelf, highly recommended


May 07, 2024

Always excellent. Sublime is the only shop in LA I will take my Porsche.


May 07, 2024

Sublime has been taking care of my 912 for a few years now. Great crew. Great guys. And always happy to help out in a pinch.


Apr 07, 2024

Love the people who work there. They truly take care of us and I finally found a place that I can trust. Thank you guys


Mar 07, 2024

I have twice had them service my 911. They are fantastic , they speak fluent Porsche. I highly recommend them. New or classic they know Porsche.

Love this team at Sublime, great communication they actually pick up the phone and call you. Highly recommend.

Good service oil change on my2001 Porsche Roadster


Feb 07, 2024

Sublime Silverlake surpassed our expectations with their exceptional service and top-tier workmanship. Ares, the owner, displayed unmatched professionalism by maintaining open lines of communication throughout the entire repair process. His transparency and integrity were evident, establishing a level of trust that is often hard to find in the automotive service industry. Ares demonstrated a profound understanding of the intricacies of our vintage 1979 Porsche 928. We brought it in for a tune up/ oil change, and to also determine the reason for the slight battery pull. During the repair process, Ares indicated that we would need to replace the radiator. After some deliberation, we agreed to the repairs. The radiator replacement was flawlessly executed. Some electrical wiring was repaired and carried out with meticulous attention to detail, resolving a few previous issues and hopefully preventing potential future electrical. The comprehensive tune-up showcased the expertise of Sublime Silverlake, resulting in our 928 running smoother and more efficiently than before. What truly sets Sublime Silverlake apart, however, is Ares' unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. His passion for automobiles shines through, as he goes above and beyond to ensure clients are well-informed and comfortable throughout the repair process. The personalized service and genuine care for both the customer and their vehicle make Sublime Silverlake a standout in the area. In conclusion, Sublime Silverlake's service and quality are truly exemplary. If you are in search of a reliable, skilled, and customer-focused Porsche service experience, there is no need to look any further than Sublime Silverlake. Ares and his team have set a new standard, leaving me thoroughly impressed and completely satisfied with the work done on our beloved 928.

The best independent Porsche mechanics in LA!


Dec 07, 2023

Ares and Lavon went above and beyond for me. The owner, Koko, was also very nice and knowledgeable. I wish I could give them 6 stars! They were able to PPI a car for me and do all the repairs (which were numerous) I wanted in a very short amount of time so I could fly in and drive it home. 0 hiccups. They even helped me with shipping a spare set of wheels home. I only wish I could find such a great shop near my home in Colorado.


Dec 07, 2023

Ares and the team at Sublime are the best. I brought my Cayenne diesel here and they were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Their prices are fair and they take very good care of your car, even if its not a 911, and it shows. The 958.2 cd is a bit of a niche pcar (not considered a pcar to most) and I would argue that it might actually take more knowledge to service than the 911. I've taken my car to most of the "reputable" pcar shops in the greater Los Angeles area and Sublime is by far the best. Most of the other shops will charge you an arm and a leg and attempt to upsell you on services that you don't really need yet. Most of the shops won't even bother washing their hands before handling your cars interior but Sublime will. I mostly service the vehicle myself when I can and just the thought of having to bring it to a mechanic pains me because of cost, upsells, lack of care, etc. However, Sublime has turned that painful experience for me into an enjoyable one and I would gladly bring my car back in the future. Shoutout to Ares for answering and fielding my stupid questions and car geek talk.


Dec 07, 2023

Good service


Dec 07, 2023

Heard about Sublime on PCar forums and needed an alignment on my 997.2. I arrived a few minutes early for my appointment and they put my car in immediately. Job was quick and excellent. Won't think about taking the car anywhere else going forward. A++


Dec 07, 2023

I've taken my car here many times. The staff are excellent (especially Ares and Lavon) and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone that needs their porsche serviced. It's a good sign when you see the shop full of 911's of different eras.


Dec 07, 2023

Professional, neat, methodical and polite.


Dec 07, 2023

Recently took my car here and can only speak highly of this shop and its friendly, knowledgeable crew. Thank you !


Dec 07, 2023

They are amazing


Dec 07, 2023

ABSOLUTELY GO HERE FOR ALL YOUR PORSCHE NEEDS!!! When I first called them, Ares picked up and immediately knew what the issue was. As soon as, he said it I knew my car was under warranty at another Porsche specialist (in Pasadena) so I took it there for them to check since they offer flat bed towing. I never liked the other place in Pasadena as much because their prices were more costly than the dealers and I’ve sent them direct quotes from dealer. Sublime Automotive was amazing when the other place couldn’t get the job done on time and within budget, Ares and Levon made it happen for me! If you are looking for reasonable, amazing customer service and support, good wholesome mechanics that know Porsches inside and out. You have to come here, few of these guys love their job and are Porsche owners themselves so they know the ins & outs. It doesn’t matter if you have a 996, gts, turbo, gt3 rs, spyder, cayman s they treat you all the same. I left with Ares saying “As long as the customer is happy” and that’s how i know I’ll be coming back. Thank you Sublime Silverlake!!


Dec 07, 2022

Excellent service! Helpful and friendly. I have a 911 & a Cayenne S. Both are taken care of by Sublime and I am a very happy customer.


Dec 07, 2022

Finding a specialist who is capable of finely-tuning our 1964 356 has proven to be an expensive and stressful exercise in futility … until we received a referral to Sublime. The car now runs perfectly — better than it has in the past 15+ years. I haven’t been so satisfied with a tune up since my family’s long-time mechanic passed away (15+ years ago). These guys are treasures. Well worth the 90-min trek to Silverlake. 5 stars!


Dec 07, 2022

Great place! Very knowledgeable and friendly.


Dec 07, 2022

job done in record time


Dec 07, 2021

Koko and team were great! This will be my new shop in LA going forward. Trust enthusiasts who really know Porsches (and other cars) inside and out. Thanks again for the great experience!


Dec 07, 2020

Ares and Team are Top Notch professionals and really treat your vehicle like it was their own. They do a thorough job diagnosing the problem and even referred me to a local Porsche dealer in the event I needed a second opinion. They fixed my Panamera at a fair price using quality parts, this job would have cost me 2-3 times as much at the dealer. I will be referring more of my friends and family to Sublime as well.


Dec 07, 2020

I was referred to Sublime from a friend of mine. We’ve brought both a 1970 914 as well as the 1989 911 to them and have been extremely happy and impressed with the service and professionalism. Even though we had a follow up required visit, they took care of us without question and in a very fair manner. Like the others reviewers have stated, Koko and team are a class act and we unequivocally recommend them. Thanks!


Dec 07, 2020

Koko and his team are awesome. As a Porsche owner for over 30 years (new and classic) I unequivocally recommend Sublime. I can't believe I found them literally driving by and a shot in the dark. do not hesitate. Take your car here.


Dec 07, 2020

Sublime always takes care of me everytime! They are experts and they took care of other minor issues that I had no idea about! Definitely only taking my 944 to them! Thanks again!


Dec 07, 2020

Sublime team is very responsive, knowledgeable and highly skilled. This was my third visit and each one was a great experience. They know Porsche 911s very well and they are confident in their abilities. Very importantly, they get the job done at a reasonable cost, especially compared to a dealer. I own a 2011 911 Carrera 4s (997.2). Until about a year ago, I always took it to dealer for service, and I was nervous to go anywhere else at the beginning, but not anymore. I fully trust Sublime for all its service needs and highly recommend them.


Dec 07, 2020

Super friendly and professional staff. Quality service, I feel my Porsche is in the right hands here. Definitely recommend


Dec 07, 2019

Love this place. Koko and his guys take great care of my baby.


Dec 07, 2019

Sublime takes excellent care of my 911. Koko and the team are incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and trustworthy. I wouldn't go anywhere else.


Dec 07, 2019

Sublime's detectives did a sublime job finding the cause of a strange sound from below my Boxster and fixing it right away. For 11 years Koko and his great crew have taken fabulous care of my 20-year-old car, which feels and drives like new.
