Cue Hallelujah Chorus! Ever take your car to a garage and get the feeling somebody is poking you with a stick as the mechanic reads off fifteen "urgent" things your car needs (and how much it'll cost!) BEFORE he even gets to what you brought it in for in the first place? Me too! That's why I was SO RELIEVED when I took my '02 Jeep GC to Santa Monica Motors! We discussed what I brought it in for first, and while my Jeep DID need some other things, there was no hard up-sell pressure to fix it ALL in one Visa billing cycle. Also, I've not yet run across a job Santa Monica Motors needs more than a day to complete. I dropped my car off at 9AM (they even gave me a lift home and picked me up when it was done) and I was back in my fixed ride by 5PM.Most importantly, I like the way SMM treats people. I witnessed several other customers being helped before it was my turn, and each of them (2 girls, 1 guy), and myself, was treated professionally and spoken to respectfully. No BS about the positronic matrix being unstable or the flux capacitor needing an overhaul. Just explanations and solutions...in simple terms. Oh, and lest I forget to mention it, I was very pleased with what I was charged for the work I had done. Without exception, I like the way Santa Monica Motors does business. You will, too.

Always good work and helpful thorough service.

The work was done properly and the people are informative and friendly. It is not the cheapest place to get auto repairs, but they do a good job and I think it's worth it to pay extra to get good quality.

Did it right the first time. Great service. They accidentally mixed up my paper work and I didn't realize it until I got home. I had the right renewal form but wrong emissions paperwork. Instead of making me come back, they scanned it and emailed it to me! Awesome! Thanks guys.

I found Santa Monica Smog Check through my "smartphone' search and decided to give it a try. I had not needed to take a vehicle to a Star station before and was a bit apprehensive, but Bob sounded professional on the phone and I was encouraged. Bob greeted me and told me I would be through in about 45 minutes and suggested getting some lunch at the corner store or waiting at the shop until it was complete. There were chairs both inside and outside, the place was very clean and two technicians were checking the vehicles. A constant stream of customers kept the employees busy but they were pleasant and worked at a steady pace. The car was ready within the 45 minutes and I was on my way, a very satisfied customer!

Santa Monica Motors has taken amazing care of my three Honda Civics over the last 30 years ! Kareem and his team are honest and explain everything that goes in to every service. Reasonable prices and great service.

I saw the other good reviews on Yelp so I decided to try this place. The service was great and the staff was friendly. I was in and out of there pretty quickly and the price for a smog check was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend the Santa Monica Smog Check and Star Station to others!
