San Jose, California
A DIY auto shop
for the South Bay
Book a lift by the hour, use every tool in the building, and stop paying shop rates for work you can do yourself. We are bringing the GaragePass model to San Jose in Q1 2027.
Why San Jose
The South Bay has the same problem, worse
Silicon Valley has an unusual concentration of people who are perfectly capable of doing their own vehicle work and structurally prevented from doing it. Dense housing, strict HOAs, and square footage so expensive that a garage is either unavailable or far too valuable to hand over to a project car.
The result is a lot of people paying $150–$200 an hour for labour they could do themselves, or quietly doing it in an apartment complex parking space and hoping nobody files a complaint.
We will serve San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Campbell, Milpitas, Cupertino and the surrounding South Bay.
