This event is $100/per person. See "money pit" above.

This event will be dangerous. It will be stupid. You will most likely get hurt. You should not come.

Wrench. Hang. Repeat.

You know the deal—bring your car, fresh oil, and a filter, and get ready to wrench with the crew. Whether it’s your first time changing oil or your hundredth, we’ve got the space, tools, and good company to make it fun.

Not changing your oil? No problem. Swing by anyway for the cars, beer, good food, and great people.

You’ve mastered the basics of a proper car wash—now it’s time to level up. This class at Wanderwell is all about paint correction: what it is, why it matters, and how to do it the right way.

Whether you’ve got light swirls in your clear coat or you’ve always wanted to learn how to use a polisher without fear, this beginner-friendly workshop will walk you through:

• The science of paint correction — how it works and when it’s needed

• Prepping your paint — what to check before you start

• Correcting techniques — the do’s, don’ts, and how to avoid costly mistakes

• Tools & products — polish vs. compound, foam vs. microfiber, and everything in between

This isn’t a concourse-level course—we’re keeping it approachable, practical, and hands-on. You’ll leave with the confidence to tackle paint correction on your own car, and for Wanderwell members, this class also means you’ll know exactly how to use our shop’s correction tools anytime you need them.

Whether you’re a member or just dropping in, you’ll walk away with skills that make your car look like new.

👉 Spots are limited, so grab yours early!

We’re opening up the Workshop for a night of grilled food, cold drinks, and good hangs. Whether you’re a member or just curious about the space, come kick back, meet some great folks, and enjoy a fun fall evening in the garage.

Check out our DIY garage space in the heart of Venice, meet our current members, and raid our fridge - what's not to like?

Your doctor called - you need some exercise.

So join us on Sunday for some fresh air, an old-fashioned sweat, and traveling around LA without being stuck in traffic. Imagine that.

Led by Wanderwell member Moises, we're taking a leisurely pedal along the Ballona Creek bike path from the Workshop to Culver City and back. Whether you're a cleat master or haven't been on your bike in years, this group ride is for you. This is more pedalling and chatting than Strava record run.

Come hang and pedal with us!

It has come to our attention that several members of Wanderwell have never driven the Angeles Crest Highway.

This Saturday, we're going to put a stop to that by gathering together and enjoying a group drive up the mountain to Newcomb's Ranch.

All cars are welcome, as are non-member friends. See you on the road!

It's Humpday AND a new month - you deserve a drink.

Come to the Workshop and raid the fridge and snacks. All you have to do is hang out with us. Sorry about that.

Open to full members, email subscribers, your friends, enemies, and that one guy two doors down. Just don't tell Jake.

Wanderwell is turning into a gallery for the night. ✨

We’re proud to host an art show featuring the work of our extremely talented and good friend Liv—an evening of creativity, conversation, and community.

Bring a friend, bring your curiosity, and come celebrate art in the space we’ve built together.

Join us for the 2025 Los Angeles Hidden Gems Rally!

We’re hitting the road to explore historic landmarks, secret canyon routes, and cultural icons that prove L.A. really is the greatest city on Earth. Oh—and there will be donuts. Obviously.

We’ll kick things off where legends are made: The Donut Man on old Route 66 in Glendora. After a proper sugar-fueled sendoff, we’ll cruise through charming towns and scenic neighborhoods on our way to Carbon Canyon Coffee Company—a cozy hideaway that’s a gearhead’s dream.

Next stop: the breathtaking Hsi Lai Temple for a truly one-of-a-kind sightseeing experience. With spirits recharged, we’ll dive into one of Los Angeles’ most hidden and exhilarating driving roads—exact location? You’ll just have to come and find out.

We’ll wrap it all up with a well-earned lunch on Whittier’s walkable restaurant row—good food, great company, and maybe even a few new favorite roads.

Automotive electrical can feel like black magic — but it doesn’t have to. Join us for a hands-on evening class led by one of our own members, M27 Autowerks, and get demystified.

We’ll cover the fundamentals: tools, connectors, wire types, and how to actually use them. You’ll learn how to pin and depin connectors, safely crimp wires, and use a multimeter without frying anything (or yourself). Expect real-world examples, live demos, and a full wiring harness to explore.

Here’s how it works: You’ll team up with another driver and take on a 1-hour endurance race packed with pit stops, driver swaps, and full-throttle strategy. It’s not just about speed—it’s about brains, timing, and keeping it together when the adrenaline’s pumping.

Expect friendly rivalries, chaotic pit lanes, and bragging rights that last way longer than the race. Whether you're gunning for the podium or just out to have a blast, this event always delivers.

All skill levels welcome—just bring the energy (and maybe a helmet if you’ve got one). Spots are limited and this one always fills up, so grab your teammate and lock it in.
