Super grateful for Gearhead Workspace, phenomenal facility and helpful staff. I started coming here a few years ago after getting charged $500 for an oil change and have been doing all of my maintenance here since.

Wonderful experience this last February with rebuilding the rear suspension on my Celica. All of the staff is knowledgable and helpful with all aspects you could ever need in maintaining a vehicle.

Rented a bay today, 2.24.2025. Signed up with Molly, a super nice person. The place is nice and warm in the winter and ready to go with a retractable air supply for your pneumatic tools if you use them. The staff will operate the lift for you if needed, I didn't need it for my repair. No flat bays are available at this time but may be in the future. I didn't reserve a bay and was fortunate that two were open, it's strongly advised that you call ahead and check on how busy they are, of course weekends are busier than weekdays I was told. An hour goes by pretty fast, I brought my own tools and it was everything I could do to get my new PCV valve on in just under one hour. Great experience, I would most certainly go back.

10/10 would recommend all people here are friendly and others using space are as well. Benches and tools nicely organized and was able to change pads and rotors easily!

Making a reservation was quick and easy, and they had the tools I required to complete the job. I needed to change the fuel filter on my Diesel SUV, and was able to do it quickly once it was up on the rack. Much cheaper than the labor charge my local shop wanted to charge, and faster too. Check You-Tube for instructions, and do it yourself to save some serious cash.

Very friendly and knowledgeable team. Highly recommend. I bought a 10 hr package. Plan on using it to get some stuff done that's been pending for too long.

Awesome place to be able to wrench on your own car. Clean, tools readily available when you need them, and the owners are incredibly nice and helpful.

This place is awesome! I came in because I had to replace the power steering pressure hose on our 2003 Honda Pilot. The manufacturer states that this job takes about 1.5-2 hours. Well, I’m an amateur, so I thought I could probably get it done in 3 hours. I have done some things on my car before but I’m not experienced at it. However, after 3 hours the pressure hose was still on because we couldn’t remove the last screw. I was about to quit but Tim and Molly quickly organized a mechanic that was able to get their within 30mins. He ended up doing the most challenging parts of the job and walked me through the steps of the repair that I was able to do. At the end I spent the whole day at the shop (almost 8h), got help from an experienced mechanic and our car is running smooth again...everything for a great, reasonable price. Everyone, including the other people that worked on their cars, was very friendly and welcoming. It’s a great place to work on your car. I will definitely come back to this place, even though I hope it won’t be too soon. Thumbs up!!!👍🏻

Love this place! If you can plan ahead, and work quickly, you can save cash. Installed a cat-back exhaust and did an oil change here and it went super smooth and was less than $100. I highly recommend this place. Tim and Molly are very pleasant owners and they have the coolest cars there.

Overall great experience at Gearhead Workspace. I scheduled a few hours to perform some maintenance on my car and the entire process went off without a hitch. They had a nice variety of tools and shop supplies available in each bay. The shop was clean and open with several lifts. Molly was fantastic with checking in and helping me find some specific tools I needed. Really happy something like this exists in the city, I’ll definitely be returning!

Drove two hours from Indiana to get here but it was SO worth it! First time DIY fixing my car so a small project turned into a two day project, but the owners were nothing but kind and helpful to us! They have all kinds of tools for any job you're looking get done on your car. 100% recommend!

Exceptional Folks! GREAT for the Weekend Mechanic or Pro looking for a spot to do your thing! I bring my Cars, Wife and Dog to the shop. They go for a walk and Coffee while I wrench. Definitely worth checking out.

It's a great spot to work on your car. They have a ton of tools and a supportive staff. While it can get a little hot and greasy, it's not unlike any other garage environment. It's a great asset to the DIY community!

First visit today. Staff was super nice and extra helpful! It’s been years since I replaced a muffler and local chain repair shop wanted over $400. Bought the parts myself and booked an hour at Gearhead. Saved a ton and had a great time with my daughter replacing her muffler.

Worst service they don't have proper equipment and the lady she provides you basic tools which is $150 at Walmart please don't go there and waste money and efforts better you reach to local mechanic shop they'll do that less than the amount and time you'll spent there

The one and only in the Windy. Four wheels or two. More than welcome to do you according to your services, and when we falter, there's family around to step in place. Car meets, class, projects, racing, you name it, it can more than likely happen in this well-equipped, fully-facilitated space. All we ask is for mutual respect, as it is a two-way street.

Amazing place! Cannot rate Gearhead Workspace high enough! Very reasonable rates to do your own work and extremely accommodating. Molly even offered advice on a how to extract a stripped hex screw, which I'd have been S.O.L. without. Will definitely return for future projects! Thank you!
