Werks II Motorsports

Very small «showroom», maybe 300 square feet. They had a about 8 seats available for try out, suits, gloves, shoes and a few helmets. Not a big stock to choose from — I was hoping I could walk in and try out a bunch of seats and pick what worked best for me.
Not a bad experience, just not a one-​stop-​shop.

FYI –don’t pay attention to the hours listed on their website or posted on their window.
Drove all the way up to Burbank at 10am to find that they were closed even though both their website and sign said open at 9. Called them up and they said they wouldn’t even open until the afternoon.
Note to business: please consider updating your info, or switch to ‘by appointment only’ and it would help people from wasting their time. Thanks.

I brought my car to Werks II after I was having some trouble installing control arms my self. Galen was very helpful and did a great job installing the parts, he also took the time to educate me on some car dynamics.

Very knowledgable and happy to help answer questions. Picked up a helmet and gloves. Next is a seat! Thx Richard.

Stopped by yesterday wanting to checkout and test the different seats after reading online forums. Came in and said wanted to checkout the seats, and was responded with «no, no checking out, you touch you buy, ok?». I was confused abit and just said ok. Walk around the small showroom not knowing what else to do but just looked at the seat then walked out and drove home. What a waste of gas.
Deciding to buy a seat was hard enough, added with the superb customer service? way to sell your product. Where’s this Jackie person?
Usually Unilocal is pretty spot on, but I could not agree with any of the reviews and that was what compelled me on giving my 2 cent.

I go to Werks II for all my racing related apparel and safety equipment. Jackie is super helpful, and patient. Even though their showroom is small, they have a ridiculous amount of product in stock.
How are you going to purchase a racing bucket or helmet without being able to try it on? Nine times out of ten, I happily leave Werks II with a different product than the one I thought I wanted. This is because I got to try everything on, over and over, and combined with Jackie’s knowledge, I find something that fits me better. Many times, this has actually turned out to save me money.
Edit: Jackie had left WerksII and the new guy isn’t as well informed. Still great selection of products, but less solid advice.

Very helpful and knowledgeable folks. They were highly recommended by Porsche Club of America.
I personally would not go back though. I went to have the oil changed in my Cayenne and ended up getting charged $ 355. Yes, the car takes 8 quarts of oil but that’s only $ 80 or so plus a $ 30 oil filter. The rest of the charge was for a HOUR AND A HALF of labor to change oil. I can appreciate meticulous mechanics and I like knowing that the people who work on my car are sharp but I feel cheated when that charge me that much for a bloody oil change.
My advice: Take it to a dealer or Aurel and Dons Porsche.

I love this shop! Very Professional and full of awesome racing products. Jackie is the best at finding exactly what you need and more. I have been to this shop numerous times, not just because of the excellent quality of parts but also because the professionalism of service cannot be beaten.

Timo and the guys have taken great care of my Boxster recently. Even before I had the Porsche, I’ve depended on Jackie and Chris to help me get the racing gear I need.
Galen is great, too. We recently installed Bilstein PSS9s, and I was amazed that Galen took the time to discuss options — which ultimately wound up saving me a lot of money. Their alignment job was peerless — the car tracks straight and true, and handled great at a recent track day.
Bottom line is you can’t go wrong with Werks 2.

I was in the market for a set of Recaro seats for my classic American muscle car, and found Werks II online. They made the process very painless.
Aftermarket Recaros are pretty much made for the Porsche/​European sports car crowd, so it wasn’t easy finding a place to help me select the right seat for my car. Additionally, getting the correct seat brackets for my car was difficult. Jackie was a lot of help — she didn’t hesitate to get down and take detailed measurements of my stock car seats and the floor to ensure that they could either find the correct brackets or have them fabricated.
During installation, Jackie was available to answer questions and direct me to the right Recaro resources.
Thank you Werks II.

Werks II is fantastic. I’ve purchased racing gear from Werks over the last 5 years. I keep coming back because they know the products. The customer service is excellent. The showroom is local and well worth the visit.
I depend on my gear. I can’t afford to compromise my safety, budget, and success on the wrong product. That’s where Werks II is of particular value: they’re experienced racers themselves. They know what works, how to size/​fit racing gear properly, and what’s best for my application. That means a lot. They do things better.
Finally, they’re just incredibly nice and very willing to help. The sales people go the extra mile. Highly recommended. Thank you Werks II!

A great local resource for racers. They carry a good stock of Sparco and other driver’s gear, and have a number of seats, helmets, and suits to try on. Jackie is a great resource.
Not as cheap as some of the online outlets, but sometimes local service makes the difference.

I was doing research into racing seats for a good friend of mine and came across Werks 2. I sent them an email asking their showroom opening hours and within minutes I got a reply from JG. Their opening hours are Monday-​Friday 9AM-​6PM.
A few days later my friend and I went to Werks 2 to checkout their showroom and I must say, even though the showroom is the size of a living room, they had a good amount of racing products on displays. They had over a dozen seats which include, Recaro, Sparco, and Momo. A few steering wheels, helmets, and racing suits. But that’s not all, in their stock room they have shelves full of racing seat belt harnesses, competition seats, helmets, steering wheels, racing shoes, and so on and so forth.
We were greeted by Jackie and she assisted my friend in picking out some seats and harnesses. That same day the techs at Werks 2 installed the seat. My friend and I were very happy with Jackie and she answered many of our questions. You can expect great customer service from her.
