Santa Monica Auto Service

Great, Quick Service. My positive experience with Santa Monica Motors started when I called to inquire about smog check services. Chase, the receptionist, was cheery and helpful. When I arrived for the smog check Bob immediately greeted me and agreed my car would be ready for pick up in an hour. When I returned in exactly one hour, my car was ready, the smog service had been completed and the results had already been relayed to the DMV. It is a pleasure to discover a business operation that is efficient , reasonably priced and friendly.

All things considered, there are plenty of other ways I would rather spend 30 min of my day, but these guys were good and the experience was fine. No complaints. I was done when they said I would and they were friendly and pleasant in the process. Close and convenient to the SM DMV on Colorado.

Great service! Quick and professional!!

I have a 2007 BMW 525i and this shop is great.

Fantastic - helpful - nice peeps - highly recommend

Excellent service. I stopped in for a smog check without an appointment and they took care of it in 20 minutes.

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.
