Our process begins by supplying products specifically for the Subaru market and later branching out to other car brands.At Snail Works, we don't take ourselves too seriously. We make cool-quirky products and always value sharing with the community around us.This idea for a company has been 12 years in the making! Ever since I can remember, I've wanted to design, document, and work on cars.
