I have been getting my 1995 BMW 540i smog checked at Santa Monica Motors for at least 20 years. It is always an excellent experience. The staff is lovely. The technicians go above and beyond. Bob is always ready with a friendly advice and information. The facility is clean and well managed with a nice outdoor seating area. Waits are never long. Coming here turns a CA DMV Smog check requirement from a chore to a pleasure.
