Awesome shop! Honest, competent, well organized, friendly, good waiting room and you can get a real person on the phone. The warning light on my Toyota Matrix was coming on intermittently for months. My regular repair shop referred me to Don at Santa Monica Motors. I was expecting to pay for trouble shooting and repairs a few weeks before it was time to send in my DMV renewal and smog check. Instead, they took the simplest route first. My car passed first time. A less honest shop could have been a real disaster for me! I will definitely refer everyone to this shop. It's so good to find a place so stellar in today's world!
