San Jose, California · Opening Q1 2027
Somewhere in the South Bay to do your own work properly, with a lift, a full tool inventory and no landlord asking questions.
If you rent in San Jose, Santa Clara or Sunnyvale, working on your own car is close to impossible. Apartment complexes prohibit it outright, HOAs enforce it aggressively, and the few streets where nobody objects are not places you want to be under a car on jack stands.
If you own, a garage in this market is some of the most expensive square footage in the country, and it is usually already full.
Everything the Oakland shop includes: lift time booked online, the full tool inventory from hand tools to engine hoists and transmission jacks, fluid disposal and metal recycling, monthly community events and the members' Discord.
Tiers will start at $60/mo for 2 hours. Hours roll over and never expire, and there is no long-term contract.
We are targeting Q4 2026 / Q1 2027 for the San Jose location. The waitlist is the fastest way to hear the confirmed date, and waitlist members get founding pricing that will not be offered publicly.
Until then, our Oakland shop at 950 77th Ave is open, and a number of South Bay members already make the trip for bigger jobs.
