Santa Monica Auto Service

Let me preface this review by stating that it takes something very extreme to put "pen to paper". Santa Monica Motors did, what I thought, could not be done. I dealt with both Ray and Don, both extremely friendly, fair and helpful. Not only did they quickly ascertain why my "check engine" light was on, (something that my old mechanic could not figure out after three days but not even the Hyundai dealer could figure out), they got it to pass the smog test. All of this for an incredibly reasonable price and far, far less than the previous mechanic and dealer charged me with no results or even answers. Santa Monica Motors will now be my official mechanic for every automobile I will ever have. They turned a complete nightmare into a routine service and did it stress free. Five stars. Thanks Ray and Don.

Brought in my son's 2012 Genesis--air conditioning not working and frozen display screen. Don was very responsive in keeping me informed about diagnosis, cost and completion time. AC fix was 40% less than dealer. I can't imagine what dealer would have charged for the screen but Don and team worked with mfg. on programming fix as opposed to replacement of unit. Very pleased, highly recommend Santa Monica Motors and will begin taking my Lexus there for maintenance and repair.

Great friendly fast service. First time not going to dealership for regular service on my 2013 VW Tiguan S- - all good. Definitely will be back. Thanks SM Motors!

I've taken my car to Santa Monica Motors for a few years now. I've found them to be very helpful, forthright, and friendly. This last time, when I told the manager I needed to have my car before 3:30, he made sure it was available at 2:30; when he saw me waiting for a while in the waiting room (which is very comfortable), he had a driver take me home. The car came out just great and they even cleaned it without my asking. I felt really appreciative and satisfied with the service. They were also honest and straightforward about pricing.

Great service and super fast!

Great service, fast and cheap. They have a kiosk where yo I can do all your car registration stuff also. Great.

Always a pleasure to work with!

Quick, courteous, and helpful!
