Callas Rennsport

Callas Rennsport is an independent BMW and Porsche specialist in Torrance, California, founded in 1992 by Tony Callas. Tony grew up around his father's Porsche road and racing shop in Texas, then brought factory training and independent shop experience to the South Bay when he opened on Hawthorne Boulevard. The shop started as a single bay and grew entirely through word of mouth.

The work here spans the full range of BMW and Porsche - from routine maintenance on daily drivers to complete restorations of rare models. The shop has restored the Porsche 911R chassis number 001, one of the most historically significant Porsches ever built. Technicians hold Master BMW certification and ASE credentials, and ongoing education is a core part of the culture - Tony is the only independent Porsche instructor in the US and Canada and runs regular technical training in-house.

This is a specialist shop for technicians who want to go deep on two brands rather than wide across many. The team is experienced - service advisors alone carry over 40 years of combined tenure - and the culture reflects the precision and passion of an owner who still works alongside his team. For BMW and Porsche techs who take the craft seriously, Callas Rennsport is one of the more respected independent shops in Southern California.
