Amazing Service – Quick, Friendly, and Stress-Free! I had such a great experience at SM Motors yesterday that I had to leave a review. I’m the world’s biggest procrastinator and finally got around to getting my smog check after receiving the notice in the mail. I'm new to the area and saw this shop right across the park from where I live — super convenient with plenty of parking. As soon as I pulled in, I started feeling a little anxious not knowing exactly what to do, but that disappeared immediately when a gentleman named Bob came over, greeted me warmly, and offered to help. There was no wait at all — he quickly took my paperwork and created an account for me on the spot. He invited me to relax in their outdoor seating area right next to the shop. I also went inside briefly and was greeted right away by the receptionist, even though she was helping another customer — such a nice touch! I asked about payment (you pay after), and she let me know about their free Wi-Fi, which was perfect because I had some work to do. Before I even had time to really settle in, another team member came over and told me my car was done! It was unbelievably fast. Everyone I interacted with was kind, professional, and genuine. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough for a smog check. I was in and out with zero hassle — and I actually enjoyed the experience. Huge thanks to Bob and the whole team at SM Motors for turning a dreaded errand into something easy and pleasant. You guys are the best!

This is my go to place when it’s time to renew my registration. Friendly professionals, clean work spaces, multiple parking spots, and convenient waiting area with indoor & outdoor seating. Whether you drive an old pick up truck like me or a modern sedan, they have the knowledge and equipment to take care of you. As a bonus it’s near a nice park and a market. Bye-bye sketchy hole in the wall, hello certified safety!

This was my first visit with Santa Monica motors to get my smog inspection. I have never had a better experience trying to pass my smog test. I was having issues passing my smog inspection, but I worked with Park on what to do for my drive cycle, then worked with Bob for the final test. My car passed! This place is knowledgeable and actually cares about customers and not after your money. I will be coming to Santa Monica motors for my motor vehicle needs from now on!

Thank you for trusting us with your smog inspection, S Paul! We're thrilled to hear about your amazing experience at Santa Monica Motors. Our team takes pride in providing knowledgeable and customer-oriented service. We look forward to being your go-to for all your motor vehicle needs in the future!
