Santa Monica Auto Service

Excellent, fast, and polite! The testing was done in fifteen minutes. I couldn't ask for more.

I've been here a few times. I love the fact that they offer pick-updrop-off service within a 3 mile radius. It makes a big difference.I once dealt with Karim when my spark plug wouldn't ignite a few years ago and I've dealt with Josh once... Both guys are very professional, helpful, and nice. I recommend this auto shop to anyone in the area. And their driver is super nice too!

I've been going to SM Motors for over 20 years through a change in ownership. They are reasonably priced, explain things clearly, and help you to stay on top of repairs and service.

I've been bringing my car to Santa Monica motors for all of it's maintenance needs and trust them entirely. I always feel that what needs to be fixed is done without inflation of services or price. This is the place to go for honesty and integrity of service.

Thank you for the quick turn around. It is very much appreciated.

WILL RETURN FOR FURURE NEEDS!

Santa Monica Motors has been taking care of my Honda for many years. They treat my car like a doctor would, with regular service appointments, smog checks,and are so careful to notice what I need and fix it at low cost. My car runs great, thanks to Santa Monica Motors. I highly recommend them.

I knew it was time for me to write a positive review for something on Yelp or I'd get kicked out of America. Then I realized the perfect business to pimp - Santa Monica Motors! Of course!These guys are the best. They have the best work ethic, the friendliest service, the most layed-back attitudes. And now Josh is missing a front tooth from a rugby accident, they even have street cred! lolThey are prompt, accurate in their assessments and offer such a personalized service that we hate taking our car anywhere else. They have often run oil and tire air pressure checks for us on the fly and for free, as well as advice on maintaining the vehicle and how to prioritize work that is ESSENTIAL and work that CAN WAIT a little longer which is handy when you live on a budget. The shop is clean and well organised; the staff are well-groomed, intelligent and polite; the advice is excellent and trustworthy.There are never long waits for service, besides which, the Lazy Daisy cafe is right next door, there is a big park with basketball courts across the road and Santa Monica City internet is free in the whole area, to help while away any time before your car is ready for pick up.I get the very strong impression that they do not need my money or my patronage, therefore their service never comes across as greedy, desperate or pushy. They are courteous, have a good sense of humor and understand how important a car is in this city. They treat your car as if it was their own. You can't ask for better than that.Clearly I cannot recommend their services highly enough. We're very happy repeat customers and now we live a few blocks away, we'll be getting the car checked more often.

Best service I've ever experienced in L.A from any garage or dealership. I highly recommend Santa Monica Motors.

Ok so its official I am not a full fledge Californian. I now have my car registered in the beautiful state of California. Being new to CA I had no idea about any of their rules and laws for getting your vehicle registered and there is a thing called a smog test. So after paying my fee at the DMV I had to get a smog test. I jumped on Yelp and found Santa Monica Smog Check it is 7 tenths of a mile from the Santa Monica DMV and I met a guy named Bob there. He is very nice walked my threw the whole processes and made it painless. I even got a few bucks off for saying I was referred by yelp. If getting a smog test can be pleasant this was the most pleasant thing I have done in a long long time. Thank you Santa Monica Smog Check. Keep up the great work!!
