A studio built for enthusiast-owned European vehicles: mechanical preservation, engineering-grade project work, and the discipline of a job done to a standard, not a shortcut.

01 · Approach
Not a repair garage. A working studio.
Preservation, done properly
Diagnostics, brakes, suspension, cooling, resealing, and deferred-maintenance recommissioning. Every job is executed to a standard that respects the car's original engineering.
Engineering-minded project work
Chassis and suspension optimization, drivetrain work, and selectively chosen upgrades: improvements that read as if they left the factory this way.
Selective intake
We take on vehicles and jobs we can do right. That means we don't chase every repair. We focus where our attention matters most.
02 · Services
Where we spend our time
Service & Preservation
Diagnostics · Brakes · Suspension · Cooling systems · Timing belt & chain service · Clutch service · Maintenance · Resealing · Deferred-maintenance packages · Mechanical recommissioning
Engineering & Project Builds
System-level mechanical restoration · Chassis & suspension optimization · Drivetrain rebuilds · Carefully selected performance upgrades · Long-term project cars
Pre-Purchase Inspections
On-site evaluation before you buy · Compression & leak-down testing · Undercarriage & frame inspection · A written condition report you can act on
By appointment and selective intake. We are a small studio. We'd rather do fewer cars well than many cars fast.
03 · Process
How an intake works
Inquiry
Tell us about the car and what you're looking to have done. We review every submission personally.
Evaluation
We assess fit: the vehicle, the scope, and whether it's work we can do to our standard in a reasonable timeline.
Scope & Estimate
A written scope of work and estimate before anything is touched. No surprise line items.
The Work
Documented, photographed progress. You know what's happening to your car and why.
04 · Vehicles We Know
European enthusiast vehicles, roughly 1970s–2000s
Our depth is in this era, where mechanical character, driver feel, and long-term ownership intersect. We work on newer and older vehicles selectively, by evaluation.
05 · About
Built by someone who does the work.
Tamkin Anwar, Founder
A decade of hands-on technician experience, focused specifically on the European enthusiast vehicles other shops treat as an afterthought. Anwar Autowerks was built on a simple premise: these cars deserve attention from someone who actually understands why they're worth keeping.
The studio is intentionally small right now: one lift, selective intake, and a direct hand in every vehicle that comes through. That's by design.

06 · Questions
Good to know before you reach out
Do you work on my car if it's not listed?
Possibly. Our depth is in European enthusiast vehicles roughly 1970s–2000s, but we evaluate newer and older vehicles case by case. Send an inquiry and we'll tell you honestly if it's a fit.
Do you do routine maintenance, or only big projects?
Both, through the lens of preservation. We're not set up for quick-turn commodity service; we're set up to do maintenance and repair work properly on cars people actually care about.
How far out are you booking?
It depends on current shop load. Send an inquiry and we'll give you a real timeline once we understand the scope.
Do you buy or source vehicles?
Not yet at scale. That's a future direction for the studio.
