    Newest Hub!
    Etienne H.

    If you're ready for an epic adventure, you should absolutely stop at Rivian's brand new hub in Venice. If you haven't heard of them, they are the latest EV maker to launch a 100% EV pickup called the R1T (Rivian.com). It's a spectacular vehicle with a considerable amount of design prowess integrated with fantastic tech. It really revolves around the driver and the attention to detail, functionality and off road ability is simply stunning. Every detail has been carefully thought through given how hot the competition is getting in EV. The staff there is very knowledgeable given that I spoke to the designer of the camp kitchen and the UX designer behind the driver's interface inside the cockpit. I'm super stoked to see this and the upcoming SUV called the R1S. No more range anxiety!! Kudos to the Rivian team for making their opening night exceptional. Your hard work and planning paid off.

    We came by today to check out the Rivian. They only have trucks on display now for you to explore, free parking on the street. Knowledgeable staff and it's cool to sit inside the truck before you make your preorder. They have a gift shop, an organic garden, and a library. They sell coffee on site too. Saw lots of people just chilling in their yard and using some free wifi and socializing.

    Cool place to check out Rivian Trucks. The space is very welcoming for both adults and children. Spent some time checking out the trucks while my son colored and did some crafts. Was also able to read various books to my son regarding recycling plastics and other topics.

    Kinda hard to review this place since its just a partial showroom for now and you can't walk out with trucks yet. What this place is, is somewhere you can go look at, get in, get hands on with their new trucks and soon, their suv's. More importantly you get to talk with the employees and learn all about them in person instead of the internet and all its rumors lol. I have been interested in this company since I heard of them awhile back. To be able to go in and actually see and touch these trucks is essential. They are so much better in person than what you thought they were online. Although I initially went in hoping to see the R1S-the suv, the truck aka the R1t, is the only one there for now... and it was so nice, I'm now interested in the truck as well! Im not a truck guy, I've always found them more useful for work than being a everyday vehicle especially with gas prices, but now I can't stop thinking how nice it was! Anyways I digress because the star of this place is the employees that show you around and answer all your questions, of which I had a million! They show you all the things you can't grasp from looking at pictures online. They are great because its not a sales pitch, its more of show and tell, which is great. I no joke, spent over 2 hours there, asking questions, poking around, asking more questions, climbing in, taking pictures, and daydreaming about all the fun I could have with those trucks. If you're in the market for a new vehicle, electric vehicles, off roading, or just plain curious, you should check this place out.

    Great place to visit to check out the new Rivians! Have been wanting to see these cars in person and absolutely hate it when I go to car showrooms and start getting bombarded with information from a salesperson, luckily the salespeople didn't bombard you with any information and simply just said "let us know if you have any questions". Had an amazing time checking out all the vehicles.

    Inside the R1T. Pretty sweet!

    See all

    My experience started off rocky. The first salesperson I spoke with on the phone was rude and tried…read moreto upsell the car with add-ons I didn't want, which almost made me walk away entirely. After seeing similar complaints in reviews, I was hesitant to continue. Thankfully, I gave it one more shot and was connected with Mo, and I'm so glad I did. Mo was respectful, honest, funny, and never pushy. He made the entire process comfortable and easy. I also worked with Fred in finance, who was equally kind and straightforward. The dealership is beautiful, the process was smooth, and I drove away with my dream car. While the initial interaction was disappointing, Mo completely turned the experience around. I'd recommend Lexus Santa Monica -- just make sure you work with the right people.

    I just had the rudest experience at this dealership, specifically with a salesperson named Asanti…read more He was rude from the beginning of the interaction, walking several steps in front of me instead of with me, giving me almost no information about the car unless I pried it out of him, and generally coming across uninterested and dismissive. The last straw was when he pointed toward the second car I was supposed to look at and told me to go over there and look at it because he had another appointment, and that if I had any questions I could call him. He essentially abandoned the interaction midpoint, so I told him, I'm no longer interested and walked away. I was polite and courteous the entire time, so I don't know if he was having a bad day or if he's simply a bad salesperson, but either way the behavior was unprofessional and rude. When I called the dealership after leaving, to complain, another salesperson tried to run interference before connecting me to a manager. He asked who I was and even stated my name first, which made it clear Asanti had spoken to this other salesperson about the interaction and knew I was calling to complain about him. That added to the overall discomfort with how this situation was handled. To the manager's credit, he was apologetic, although he did try to excuse the bad behavior by saying they were shorthanded, which is no excuse for rudeness. I would avoid this dealership, and if you do decide to use them, certainly avoid Asanti.

    I am thrilled to have just leased my second Subaru Forester Wilderness from Subaru Santa Monica…read more Can I add, it's a BEAST in blue ! Returning for a second lease was an easy decision because of the exceptional experience I've had with this dealership from day one - and my 2023 Forester was my fave car ever. The entire team--both in sales and service--is warm, friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to customer satisfaction. The sales staff, including: Ron the GM, Mario the manager, Paul the finance director and Gabriel, my salesman, made the leasing process comfortable and stress-free, taking the time to answer my questions and remain patient when I conferred with ChatGPT and friends for sales advice and support. The service department has been equally outstanding. They are efficient and meticulously organized and treated me with kindness and respect. It's clear that Subaru values their customers and takes pride in providing excellent service. I love my Forester Wilderness, and I appreciate knowing that I have a dealership I can trust. Subaru Santa Monica has earned my loyalty through their consistent professionalism, integrity, and outstanding customer care. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a vehicle and a dealership that genuinely puts its customers first.

From the moment I walked in, they made the entire car-buying process easy, comfortable, and stress-free. AJ was professional, honest, and truly listened to what I was looking for. He helped me find the perfect RAV4 XLE Premium, and I couldn't be happier with the vehicle or the deal I received. Hector also went above and beyond to make sure everything came together smoothly and that I felt confident with my purchase. After researching and comparing options, I can honestly say they gave me the best car at the best price. There was no pressure, no games, and no unnecessary stress -- just a great experience with people who genuinely cared about taking care of their customer. I highly recommend AJ Brody and Hector Medina to anyone looking for a Toyota. They represent what a great dealership experience should be. Thank you both for making this such a positive and memorable purchase!

    If you're car shopping and dreading the experience, let me save you some stress -- ask for Alex…read more I came in knowing exactly what I wanted and what I was willing to pay. Alex didn't try to work around that. He listened, he advocated for me, and he made it happen. Knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. That combination is rarer than it should be. The finance department surprised me just as much. Friendly, efficient, and clear -- none of the drawn-out back-and-forth I was bracing for. We were in and out in far less time than I expected, which feels like a small miracle at a car dealership. I drove home with the vehicle I wanted and I couldn't be happier. Toyota Santa Monica earned every bit of this review.

    My experience with Kia Santa Monica was such a huge improvement from my experience the week before…read morewith another Kia dealership that was beyond horrible. The people who worked with me at Kia Santa Monica made sure I was comfortable and taken care of. They were professional, amiable and never forced me to get anything "extra" to jack up the price. Tee, throughout the entire process, was exceptional. He was very thorough, attentive and truly exceptional, which I really appreciated. Very satisfied with my experience. So what happened after.....well I got the car I wanted...yeay me!

    I have never experienced customer service this poor from a dealership…read more The process began when I brought my car in on Monday at 8:00 AM. I was told the vehicle would be evaluated within 24 hours and that I would receive an update. Nearly two days passed without any communication, so I reached out myself. At that point, I was told the car might need a new transmission. Given that my vehicle has only 83,000 miles and I have never experienced a transmission failure on any vehicle I have owned, even those with over 150,000 miles, I requested photos and videos showing the issue. Instead of providing documentation, I received repeated calls and texts from someone named Rodney, at least six times, asking whether I was interested in trading in my car. Considering I had just been told I might need a transmission, this felt extremely inappropriate and raised concerns. Today, I called again because I still had not received any updates. I was given the same information as before. When I asked about the photos and videos I had specifically requested, I was asked, "Did you want that?" Yes, I wanted it, which is why I requested it in the first place. No customer should be expected to authorize a major repair based solely on someone's word. In addition, I was never provided with a written estimate or repair quote. Most dealerships and repair facilities provide documentation, photos, videos, diagnostic reports, technician notes, fault codes, fluid inspection results, and pricing so customers can make informed decisions. None of that was provided here. If a dealership is recommending something as significant and expensive as a transmission replacement, these materials should be provided proactively, not only after repeated requests from the customer. I then called and asked to speak with a manager. Instead, Dan took the call and said he could help. After explaining all of my concerns regarding the lack of communication, documentation, and transparency, I became so frustrated that I told him I would simply come pick up my car. Without hesitation, he replied that they would have it washed and ready for pickup. About thirty minutes later, another employee, Tim, called and said the technician would finally be providing photos and videos and that they would be sent to me. This entire experience has been frustrating, unprofessional, and unnecessarily stressful. The lack of communication, failure to provide requested documentation, absence of a repair estimate, failure to provide the diagnostic information supporting the recommendation, and the immediate push to discuss trading in my vehicle have left me with very little confidence in this dealership's service department. Customers deserve transparency, timely communication, and supporting evidence when being asked to consider a repair that could cost thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, that standard was not met throughout this experience. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!!!!!

The very next day the check engine light turns on and I have to cancel plans and bring it back in for them to fix it. They kept my car for two days and claimed to have changed the O2 sensor. Picked it up and the same day hours later the check engine light was back on. - Very dismissive. They ordered me an uber home as soon as I got there to take the car to be checked for the engine light. I saw it as a way to get rid of me fast and not hear me out. - Keep in mind these mechanics work with some of the best engines in the world. It doesn't make sense they couldn't fix a simple problem. The owners just should've been honest in not wanting to fix it properly. - My fiancé and I decided to not waste our time and take it back. Instead he fixed the problem himself which added about $200 more to the cost of the car. Sale associate demeanor 6/10 - Lilit was very kind and patient. Showed us the car and let us go for a test drive. Only problem is some words weren't kept Finances 3/10 - Tried to lie to us multiple times. Marco claimed in order to receive our loan from Westlake we had to take out a certain amount of loan. They tried to sneakily add $1300 to the car. We caught on and had them remove that charge. They tried to say it wasn't possible and we would lose the loan until we were ready to leave he finally took it off with "the help" of another employee. I realized they ask other employees for help as a way to cover up they were lying about not knowing how to remove extra charges. He's worked there for multiple years and claimed to be an OG. So I'm sure he knew he could remove that charge and that it was possible to still get the loan. - Snuck by us $300 theft protection add on when we said from the beginning we wanted NO add ons. - Would press signing buttons for me on the iPad to hurry me up. Claims it was an accident. - Felt very rushed. Overall very upset with the service we received. Hoping to never have to go there again. Just be careful when signing things. Can't get upset for money hungry people to act money hungry.
