Santa Monica Auto Service

This shop is top notch. They take the time to explain the problem with your car and suitable suggestions. I took to it to another mechanic who was asking for twice as much as Santa Monica Motors.

this was my first time at Santa Monica motors and I was very pleased. i made a next day appointment online which was confirmed by email. After dropping off my car I was thrilled that they offered me a ride back to my work in Culver City. I've gone to other mechanics in LA, and rarely been offered the same service. I wasn't at all pressured to do more or the reccomendations than I prioritized. AND I love that they emailed me my records. I'll definitely be back!

Bought a used subaru almost a year ago and never had the car fully inspected by a mechanic. I called SM motors and told Josh I needed the car inspected for my upcoming trip to Mammoth. They did a full inspection for free, and informed me the car was in great shape, and didn't need much. They recommended two easy jobs I get done in the next couple of months, but said it could wait and were in no way pushy. Josh was very thorough and explained his recommendation was based on ideal car maintenace to get the most out of your vehicle, but was also very clear that it was not something that had to be done immediately. I also inquired about a major tune-up and was told it wasn't necessary at this point after looking up the manufacturer recommendations and confirming they had done most of the inspection you get at the dealership for $600 for free with the exception of a few things that could wait. I will definitely be going back!

Great service. Fast and convenient. Plus coupon from yelp. Bob was friendly and profesional.

I have been bringing my honda here for years and have not had any problems.

Always consistently good service over many years. Appreciate your explanations of service & repairs - what's necessary & what you can and can't do at any given visit. Thank you.

Service excellent; Josh honest, helpful and someone I felt I could trust knowing basically nothing about cars other than how to drive them- a great find and a great relief.

My interaction was with Josh. I was very happy with how he went out of his way to explain in detail exactly the things that were wrong with my vehicle. Additionally he advised me of the priority items. I was not talked down to, but rather was treate very respectfully. You are very fortunate to have a front of the house guy who is so competent.

Awesome! I'll recommend you guys to anyone. The honesty. The service. The cleanliness. The ride back and forth to my pace while my car was being worked on. Thank you very much!!!

Excellent service! Yelpers Recommended and I followed... Bob was very kind and explained a lot of things about how cars pass or don't pass smog tests. The wait was a while, but that is because I was there during lunch hour. I am sure that if you go during some down time it would be a speedy process. Highly Recommend them!
