Santa Monica Auto Service

The employees are very friendly and the wait was not long for a smog check. I will be back for future service.

Great service, kind reception, real professionals giving service. Thank you for looking after my Honda.

Fast, efficient service. Attendants came over to greet me as I got out of the car, and were ready to take my information. The smog check was done within 10 minutes of my arrival, and they filled my tires with air as a courtesy. Very thoughtful.

Santa Monica Motors is quick, efficient and gets the job done. Smog check done in 20 minutes. Helped me find an emissions sticker on the engine that I needed for registration of car. Were patien and helped me even in the rain.

Fast, efficient, and courteous service. Thanks to Bob!

Santa Monica Motors, and Bob, are wonderful. Competent and pleasant. I have been going regularly for almost twenty years and would not go anywhere else.

I've been a customer for many years and due to constant professionalism, I will continue to utilize their services. Thanks for consistently being a really good business.

Overall, I’ve had a really positive experience with Santa Monica Motors, and it’s become my go-to for both car maintenance/repairs and SMOG checks. Booking appointments is always easy through their online portal, and the staff are consistently friendly and easy to work with. I’m not a car expert, but what I really appreciate is how communicative they are. After each visit, they send a clear digital summary of what was inspected, what’s considered normal, where your car falls, and how urgent any recommended maintenance might be. They also include estimated costs, so you have a full picture before deciding on anything. I’ve never felt pressured to approve services, and whenever I’ve had questions, the team has taken the time to walk me through everything. They also occasionally offer online deals or AAA discounts, which is a nice bonus if the timing works out. Pricing may be slightly higher than some other spots, but I personally think it’s worth it for the convenience and transparency. Everything is fully digital — from booking and check-in to inspection reports and final billing — which gives me peace of mind knowing my car’s full history is easy to access and not buried in paperwork. Most recently, I came in for a SMOG check, and the experience was fast and seamless. I had an appointment, pulled up, and a technician met me at my car with an iPad for check-in. I handed over my keys, waited briefly, and about 15 minutes later my car was ready. I checked out, received my results (already sent to the DMV), and was on my way. If you’re looking for speed, quality service, and a smooth, modern process, I highly recommend Santa Monica Motors for both maintenance and SMOG checks.

Super fast .took less than half hour in and out .
