Santa Monica Auto Service

Got a great deal on two new key fobs! Cheaper than I expected to get them! Don was really friendly and accommodated my needs with professional service and fast set up.

The people who work here are so extremely nice, especially Eduardo. They are fast and efficient and I was done within 15 minutes. The cost was $59 and some change for my smog check. I had a $10.00 off coupon so full price would be $69. You can get the coupon off their website. I'm not sure if that's a good price or not since this was only my second time ever getting a smog check and I can't remember what I paid before.

Now that my car is considered elderly by the state of California, for the first time ever I received a noticed that I needed to get it smogged at a STAR Station (whatever that is). I picked this one based on the positive reviews, and it did not disappoint! I was in and out of there in about 15 minutes, passed my smog test, nobody tried to sell me any unneeded work, and there were smiles all around. Thanks Santa Monica Motors, see you again in two years!

Waited to the last minute to smog my BMW...final day! Ugghh!! So grateful these guys are open on Saturdays. Drove by here hundreds of times as it's just down the street from Santa Monica College. Drove up not knowing what to expect. Saw a charming Chinese couple waiting on the outdoor patio. That alone gave me some confidence in this place. They have plenty of parking here and nobody dictating where you can and cannot park. Walked in, place is pretty clean and well-kept. Prices clearly displayed on the wall. The dude behind the counter was very polite and friendly. I suspected he was a mechanic when he wasn't holding down the front customer service area. Oh yeah, I took the guy's advice (I had called earlier to verify they were open) and printed out a $10 off coupon from their yelp page. They accepted it gladly, no disappointed looks, no exhales. lol He said it would be about 15 minutes or so. Cool~There's lots of places to eat around here. I took a walk while I waited, intending to buy a soft serve from Foster Freeze down the street but I ended up walking the wrong direction! haha~ oh well. :D When I got back the car was done! PASSED!! Yeah! They even have a window where you can pay your DMV registration right on the spot. I might use that next time. I'll definitely be back! Thanks Santa Monica Motors!

Excellent 5 stars.

Great customer service! Always very pleasant and helpful staff.

Bob Rich was very sweet and very fast! I recommend this place if you need a smog test.

Came in after 5 and was out by 5:20. Very helpful and quick. I would come back and recommend this to anyone needing a smog check.

I took my 4-wheel drive Porsche here to get it smogged. I ended up going twice because I failed the first time because of a problem with the catalytic converters, which I had to have replaced. Don and his guys were great - they took my car in very fast, worked efficiently to get the car tested and completed (and explained) all the required paperwork. I've been directed to certain shops because I was told that many shops don't know how to handle smogging German cars - nothing could be farther from the truth at Santa Monica Motors! They were complete experts and professionals, and charged me a reduced price for the second test. Don was super friendly, reliable, and a great sense of humor.

The guys here were totally awesome. I'm so happy for all the yelp reviewers who helped me make the right decision to come here. I brought my 2007 Toyota Camry and my wife followed me with my daughter's 2004 RAV4. They got is in and out of there quickly. No muss, no fuss, and a great price for both cars. This is definitely a place to go in Santa Monica for smog checks.
