Brian and his excellent team - Brett, Ozzie, Jamie and more - at Santa Monica Autoworks are fantastic! They are knowledgeable, dedicated, super helpful and friendly and have been taking care of my car for more than 11 years. Beside the normal work related tasks they go out of their way to come up with suggestions,…
I took my daughter's VW Tiguan to Santa Monica Autoworks and received great service and personal attention from them. The feedback they provided both online and in person was very thorough. They did the work on schedule and in line with their estimate. What is often at best a stressful experience was just the opposite and I highly recommend them.
Good work, good communications and good people.
I’ve been taking my BMW to Santa Monica Autoworks for a few years now and I can’t say enough about Brian and his team of professional staff. Always polite, always on time and extremely efficient and knowledgeable, but most importantly they stand behind their work without question not long ago I had new front brakes…
Always thoughtful and detailed with their work. I’ve never had to worry since I found them a couple years ago. My VW isn’t super reliable, but they’ve kept it in check which has been a huge weight off my shoulders. I also appreciate they take the time to answer my questions and explain what’s happening…and free coffee!
Excellent service and customer care/relations.
I have been taking my Audi here for years. Brian and the whole staff are such a pleasure to work with and they do a terrific job. They provide detailed estimates of all work , my car is always done on time and their prices are so much better than the dealerships. I recommend them to all of my friends and would…
Reliable, consistent, and thorough - and that’s been consistent over the years of being their customer with my Porsche Macan and, before that, my BMW. Also will try to work with you to find cost-effective solutions.
These guys were great! Quick, efficient, friendly, and best of all, the service charges were exactly what they quoted! No surprises!
Your friendly neighborhood mechanics. The whole team here is knowledgeable and friendly. Most important - honest and reliable. I know when they tell me I need something done, it’s time to do it and the price is reasonable. I won’t go anywhere else.
Brian and his staff at Santa Monica Autoworks have taken care of our BMW cars for years. We trust them completely. Their work is expert and quickly completed, their charges are fair, their interactions with customers couldn't be better. It's joy to see them even though car trouble is no fun.
They are fantastic! Great people that do great work.
