I recently took my car in to get serviced as well as get a smog certification (which always makes…read moreme hold my breath given the age of the car). If you're looking for an honest, highly skilled mechanic, S & M Automotive is outstanding and checks so many boxes! I come down from Ventura to see "Shady", and his name couldn't be more ironic, because there's nothing shady about him or his work. He's been maintaining my 2005 Lexus SC430 and has saved me a boatload of money on repairs and maintenance over the years. He's respectful, friendly, and clearly takes pride in getting things right. My most recent service made the car run like it did when it was new. The engine is humming smoothly again, something I've honestly NEVER experienced after a repair or routine maintenance anywhere else and I've owned this car since 2007. And while the name S & M Automotive might make some people do a double take (hahaha), the only thing painful here is realizing how unnecessary other repair bills can be once you find a mechanic this good and dependable. If you want honest, skilled automotive service, S & M Automotive is absolutely trustworthy and dependable.

Despite that, the folks at S&M took the time to do a quick assessment of my car and advise me what the likely problems were. That really helped me assess my options. I could not be more appreciative and, if I lived in the area, I definitely would give them an opportunity to be my regular mechanic.

I had a metal scraping sound coming from the right side of my car and didn't think it was the brakes. They took the time to perform a full inspection and found a bent metal part that was causing the noise. They bent it back into place and completely fixed the issue. Best part? They didn't charge me anything for the inspection or the fix. I thanked them and told them I'd be leaving a review. Needless to say, they've won a customer, hopefully for many years to come. What an honest shop. Thank you, Schneider's Auto Repair!
