From start to finish during my coolant system overhaul, the entire team was professional, courteous, responsive, and straightforward.

I strongly recommend Santa Monica Autoworks to anyone seeking fantastic customer service. Thank you for the great work.

I called Morris…read moreAutomotive and spoke with Danny, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and honest from the very start. His initial quote was substantially lower than others we received, but what really impressed me was his integrity: he actually called me back to let me know the final cost would be less than the quote because the rotors were priced lower than expected. It is a huge relief to know my daughter has a local shop she can trust for quality, affordable, and honest service. Thanks to Danny and the team for making what is usually a painful process completely seamless!

He and his mechanic Francisco were quick to intake the car and diagnose the car within a few hours. And Francisco stayed late and made my car a priority and was ready for pick up in less than a day.

Moz and Francisco were very transparent with immediate needs vs longer term repairs. A trusted source and I felt confident with their advice. I am definitely a customer (repeat) now. And the immediate value in getting my car running again was kept and presented at a base minimal level. Appreciated as repairs can be sizable costs.

Be incredibly careful bringing your car here: I was quoted over $1,200 for a repair that turned out…read moreto be a $10 part and less than a 5 minute fix. I brought my 2006 C6 Corvette in after the shifter stopped engaging. I spoke to Steven, who was very polite and friendly. He said they had diagnosed the issue, which was a snapped shift cable, and he quoted me over $1,200 to fix it. I called my friend who knows cars, and he told me it was very unlikely the shifter cable snapped, and it was most likely a broken plastic bushing which often degrades over time (my car is 20 years old). I was curious, so I also asked AI, and it said the same. My friend advised me to ask the shop for evidence of the shifter cable breaking. I called Steven and asked to see evidence of the break, and he told me he had none, and in order to take a photo of the snapped cable it would require disassembling the entire car. I later found out this is simply not true: the shift cable end is accessible from underneath the car in minutes without any significant disassembly. I also asked him if they had considered whether it could be the plastic bushing, and he said it was "definitely not" this, for some inarticulable reason. I asked if he had actually looked and checked, and he confirmed the issue wasn't the plastic bushing. Before authorizing any work, my friend told me to tow the car to his place because he didn't think these people were being honest with me, so I did. My friend identified the problem in under 5 minutes: as suspected, a plastic bushing on the shift cable end had broken, a part that costs about $10. He fixed it on the spot. I called Steven to let him know that he and his team had incorrectly diagnosed the issue, and he very politely, without skipping a beat, or changing his demeanor, told me, "that's very strange" and that he would "talk to the guys". Whether this was a genuine misdiagnosis or something more deliberate, I obviously can't say for certain. But what I can say is that I was quoted over $1,200 for a $10 fix; the claim about needing to disassemble the car to show evidence was demonstrably false; and Steven and his team, who are presumably expert car mechanics, and who said it couldn't possibly be the plastic bushing, turned out to be completely wrong. You be the judge. In any event, I have filed a complaint with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. I have also scheduled a nice dinner for my friend who saved the day. If you decide to use this shop, definitely get a second opinion and an itemized written estimate before approving any work.
