Honest, trustworth & Friendly - We always look for these qualities and they are hard to find in people let alone a mechanic. I have been going to Santa Monica Motors for years and have always trusted them to do the right thing. The price is always reasonable with quality work. Josh and Karim along with the team of mechanics go out of there way to make sure everything is done right and inform you if they see a problem. I always get good advise from them and never have to feel cheated, I never have a complain about the quality of work they perform. Thx for being my trusted mechanic shop you have my business for years.I have to agree with Cleopatra that Martin M had a bad experience because of his racist views, a mechanic shop that performs quality work and be able to offer you warranty on their work is definetly going to be more expensive then if you buy a part and install yourself or have it installed at some shop that can't warranty the work (not allowed by Law in CA). By CA law a mechanic shop has to offer warranty on the work performed. Martin is going to realize his savings were not worth it when that pump fails to work because of whatever reasons and the parts store or the cheap mechanic he used are not going to stand behind there work. Did he pay CASH and saved on TAX too :)
