Josh and the team over at Santa Monica Motors represent the very best repair / mechanic experience I've had across three states in the past 20 years. Both friendly and knowledgeable the staff promptly reports all diagnosed problems and clearly walks you through (explaining and showing) you what needs to be done and what can wait a little longer. Competitive pricing married with honesty and excellent workmanship -- what more is there? Great referrals also to the best places for tires and windshield repair. Caveats? I wish they were open on Saturdays for those times when you need something before the week. Couldn't be happier with my experience and I suspect others will have the same experience!
