Sprint Auto Works

What else can be said about Sprint Auto Works that wasn’t said below. James and his special hand picked crew are without a doubt some of the best all around mechanics you’ll be able to find in the South Bay. James is a very hands on owner who puts in a ton of his own time and personal experience into his business and it shows. My wife needed to have her 2005 Mini Cooper S serviced and prepped to make a around the country trip coming up this summer. James is one of only a few people I’d trust to work on any of my cars. He performed all of my requested work and then some because things were broken which we weren’t even aware of.

Called to get a custom bracket fabricated for my airlift setup and Ken never got back to me. Emailed him a couple of times also called and never got back to me. Don’t tell someone that they can get you what your looking for and never get back to them! Very disappointing.

About a month ago, my friend recommended this place to me after getting his aftermarket clutch installed there. He had nothing, but positive things to say about James and his shop. I had some stuff I wanted to do, so I gave him a ring.
Unbeknownst to me at the time, I was already familiar with James work. Besides being a kick ass mechanic, he does some damn nice show cars. His fit, finish, and attention to detail were bar none. This says a lot about the person who is going to be working on my car.
Since I have a hard time dropping my car off on weekdays, James was more than accommodating in seeing me on a Saturday morning. Talking to him, his knowledge of cars, he knows his stuff. His customer service is a cut above the rest. He’s very friendly and personable. I even had a minor issue that I mentioned to him, and he came back with some possible solutions right off the back. Getting to work on my car, he soon called me over soon after, and showed me the most likely solution to my problem. He knew exactly what was wrong with just one look. Turns out, the previous shop forgot to install the O-​Ring in my I/​C, which was causing the slight boost leak I was experiencing (Another shop told me there was no way I had a boost leak since I wasn’t throwing a code. Guess who I WON’T be asking for advice ever again.) Install of the part was quick and efficient. I was able to talk to him while he was working. His attention to detail shows in spades as he transferred one piece over and noted that it wasn’t sealing correctly. He got out some of his own parts to make sure I didn’t have any problems.
I can’t say enough about James and his shop. I’ve found my goto place for all the work I need done to my car. I highly recommend Sprint Auto Works for all your car needs!

I totally trust them with any of my cars. Superior work and totally professional/​friendly people. Highly recommended!
I have only done maintenance and check engine stuff with them but have used them about 6+ times now. I don’t know anything about cars but they are super patient and great at explaining what I’m actually paying for.

I’m not going to call out another shop BUT I will say this.
I took my allroad to shop «A» on a recommendation and on what my nephew and I both thought were a helpful, experienced shop. THAT WAS A MISTAKE!!!
James and The Sprint Auto Works staff will be the only ones that touch my allroad ever AGAIN!
These guys do it ALL!!! From basic maintenance, to some very complex custom builds from top to bottom! I wouldn’t be surprised if these guys end up on Velocity Channel some day… lol
Keep up the great work and thanks for all your help Sprint Auto Works!!!
P. S. I’ll be back as soon as possible for the C5 allroad bag kit!

Took my car here to get some replacement sensors for my air ride. They know what they’re doing. Great work!

I set up an appointment to bring my B8 S4 in for it’s routine service. I also had them install Stop tech brakes front & rear, an aftermarket rear sway bar, front chassis brace and transmission mount. They knocked it out on time and the price was great!
But most importantly, their customer service is outstanding! They made sure I was 100% satisfied with the parts I had them install and James even took the time to show me how to switch profiles with my APR tune after I told him I had never switched octane profiles before (Already had the tune prior).
I will continue to bring them my S4 from now on

A bit far from my place, but I came all the way from the east bay, totally worth it! Came for my 55K service maintenance on my Audi A4B8. James and Ken were really helpful and patient, customer service was great and the team is really patient with their customers. Most places I been to will get annoyed if you have too many newby questions or would give the «duhhh, obvious» type of feedback. Overall great experience, great knowledge and service!

Went to Sprint Auto Works/​Because Bags on January 11^th. Had my height sensors installed and they showed me how to run the system. James (the owner) was awesome and got me in and out within a day because I was not local. Awesome company and they are the only shop I would ever go back to for my air ride needs!

I, too, was helped by Ken who was very friendly and straightforward. I went in over an hour before my scheduled appointment. They were able to reflash my ECU within minutes and I was out the door. Pleasure talking to the employees there, and will definitely return.

I was recommended this shop when talking to a friend of mine who installed his bags here too. When I was finally ready to order and install, I called becausebags. Ken answered the phone and he was always so helpful. He does not mind giving you all the answers to your questions. His answers to the questions are lengthy and he expresses his knowledge in the company and the work very well. James is one of the best owner, even though he’s the owner of the shop, he still takes his time to answer any concerns you have over the phone or social media. Overall, becausebags has the best customer service out there.
Thank you Ken, James and the team who installed my bags!

First of all, I would like to start this off by saying James and Ken and the rest of the Becausebags team are people you can definitely rely on when it comes to your air suspension. They know what they are doing.
Brought in my Lexus for air management upgrade and James and Ken were just so easy to deal with. Not only they installed everything so clean it looks like it came from the factory they also hooked it up with seamless 5 gallon tank in white pearl with some hard lines. Personally, I greatly appreciate dealing with these guys not a single cent goes to waste when you have Becausebags work on your car. Top notch customer service and very knowledgeable company. Thank you again for everything you guys are the best.
When it comes to getting your air suspension installed never cut corners and take it to a shop specialized in this department. They are Becausebags for a reason and when I said their service is top-​notch, that is an understatement.
James, Kevin and the rest of Becausebags, thank you!

I was recommended by a close to friend to try this shop out and I have been blown away by their helpful nature and responsiveness.
I came to have some tires mounted to new wheels and it was brought to my attention that one of the rims was bent. They had the wheel sent out for repair so I didn’t have to run around trying to sort it our myself. They are a one stop shop for all my car needs.
I then had some issues with my hubs and reached out to them on a weekend, not during business hours, and I was called back immediately and taken care of on a Monday. I was so thrilled with the response and service I went ahead and had them install an APR Bluetooth dongle and supporting software for my MK6 GTI. They are a nice group of guys, professional, stand by their work, and I’ll be back for a turbo upgrade and wheel alignment work in the future.

I can’t say enough good things about this shop. They are essentially an industry benchmark. Their fit and finish as well as approach to projects is always above and beyond what you can dream of. I (finally) had the pleasure of having the crew install a full air ride setup on my car. They are 1 of 2 shops who have ever worked on my car and I couldnt be more pleased with the results.
I am happy to say that I fully trust my car with them and look forward to them working on my future projects.

Always get my car serviced by James, his work is outstanding. Ill be going back soon to finish my show car. Thanks James

A new review for a new location. James and his team at Sprint do quality work. Most recently, my car was there for a clutch replacement and he did a great job. Went over the failings of my last clutch and the benefits of the new one. I do a lot of my own car maintenance, but will always bring my car to Sprint when something I cannot handle needs to be done.

If you want a place to actually take care of your car and do honest work, come to these guys. Both Ken and the shop owner were knowledgeable and friendly, but above that, did a wonderful job on my car. They also have very reasonable prices and a huge shop. They worked on my bmw 335i 2010. Highly recommended.

James and his crew are efficient experts. They run a first class automotive repair shop with what I crave most… integrity. I will ALWAYS take my Audi to only this shop. Thx, guys!

Sprint Autoworks is a truly one stop shop, whether it’s all full out custom air suspension or scheduled maintenance rest assure your vehicle is in capable hands. James particularly runs a legit operation with emphasis on the customers needs and addresses potential issues that may need to be address with the vehicle without high pressure up sells. He and his staff are highly knowledgeable in the area they specialize in. Approachable, professional, and above all up front. Sprint Autoworks have earned my business from 2 shop location ago, this place will continue to be my go to place for servicing my Audi.

I have been taking my 1998 A4 2.8 Quattro for more than a year to James at Sprint Auto Works and to his Campbell shop. They have now moved recently to a larger shop in San Jose. Even though he is the owner, James is very hands-​on and he and his team are very easy to work with. They operate like a Silicon Valley start-​up but for the right reasons. James and team did a major maintenance project on my car (including changing timing belt) and did that in a very professional manner. All along, they communicate with me over email and phone. They do not recommend unnecessary repairs unlike others.
Even though they now have moved to San Jose which is farther for me, I will still take my car there since it is very rare you come across a good, reliable and decent auto shop like Sprint Auto. I have used three different auto repair shops before (and all proclaiming that they are Audi and German car experts) but none of them come close to Sprint Auto.
Apparently, James and team do repairs and maintenance on all cars and not just German cars. I intend taking my Acura MDX next.

James and the crew at Sprint Auto Works/#Becausebags are some of the best in the business. They are a full service shop, ranging from maintenance to full custom modifications and tuning. They are constantly acquiring new connections, so if there’s a custom service they don’t perform, check back next month and they just might!
Many would be exasperated by a customer like me, who has lots of questions and is highly detail oriented with a touch of micro-​managing. Not Sprint Auto. James handled me and my car very well, and I would not hesitate to recommend anyone else to him. Him and his team have addressed all of my air ride, maintenance, and modification needs.
The icing on the cake is that James is a hard worker, occasionally working weekends and long hours to get things done. Not only is this a stellar and rare quality in the industry, but very helpful for those of us who work long hours ourselves and have difficulty with weekday appointments and coordination.

James and his team at Sprint run a quality operation. From standard maintenance to eye-​popping, era-​defining show cars and custom builds, they stand behind their work and well they should! This is not some operation that bolts on cheap parts to make a quick buck. Their projects are long-​running, thought-​out, and phenomenally executed. As anyone in the «show car scene» knows, lots of shops are in this business for the wrong reasons. I have 100% faith that James and his team are in it for the right reasons — they’re enthusiasts first and foremost, and they practice what they preach.
I would not hesitate to send anyone — with any car — with any problem — with any build — to Sprint Auto Works.
