Santa Monica Auto Service

Came off a 3.5 hour session at the DMV getting my registration renewed and turns out I needed to get a SMOG done first. The DMV recommended this place as it was very close by. I was literally in and out before I could finish my complementary coffee. The gentleman at the front desk was extremely helpful and let me know that I could avoid going back to the DMV by taking my renewal paperwork straight to AAA where I am a member. Really top notch service, keep it up!

Excellent service. Fast and nice staff.

Always friendly and fast.

Came in 30 min before close and they still took me for a smog check. Great service, super clean waiting area.

Went in for a smog check on a Sunday morning and was done in 15 minutes. I've been here for other services before and they are always quick, professional and courteous (thank you Bob!). The waiting area is very clean and air conditioned, with complimentary beverages, or you can take a nice stroll through Virginia Park while you wait for your car to be serviced. Plus, they honor their online coupon when you show it through your phone. Highly recommended and will be coming back again!

Great customer service, very friendly and efficient staff.

The STAR smog check, as required by the California DMV, appears to have been done satisfactorily. Very difficult to understand the necessity of such a lengthy process.

Brought my car last year for a smog check and decided to brin it back here again. They quickly figured out what was wrong and had my car finished really quickly. The technology they used to show me what was wrong was really helpful. It kept me from having to go back and forth from the shop to learn what was wrong. The service was really great. Especially from Ray. He took the time to make sure I understood everything that was going on. Would definitely reccomend this place to friends.

Honest, upfront, efficient. I will certainly be back.

Good old fashion customer treatment and service. I was greeted by Bob himself. Although there were 4 cars awaiting smog checks he assured me it was possible to inspect my car. They did that in a very reasonable amount of time as I relaxed in the comfortable customer waiting area which had the feel of the lobby of a hotel. Everything was real. The smog experience is always unpleasant. Not these last 4-6 years with Santa Monica Motors. I’ll return every time with my two cars. Thanks for being the pros that you are. I hope Bob never sells the place. The day that happens it will be the end of an era. They don’t make them like Bob anymore. Drop by and be pleasantly smoged!
