Reviews of Santa Monica Motors
Senka
I had a wonderful experience at Santa Monica Motors! I originally went in for a smog check and then realized that they also offer registration services for out of state vehicles. I highly recommend going here instead of the DMV! Brit was super helpful and the owner and rest of the staff are so friendly. I’ll be coming here for additional services in the future. Thank you!
eriko p
Very nice waiting room! We came here for our Smog Test. We did not have an appointment this morning and took a chance this Saturday morning. It was easy! They took our car immediately and said she could wait in their nice waiting room!
Mike K.
Great customer service! They managed to fit me in on a busy Friday and was able to replace my rotors and brakes hours before expected! Thank you!
Gale McCarty
Bob and the Staff at SM Motors have done my Smog Checks on my 20 yr old convertible since 2016, and are always pleasant, efficient, and timely in uploading my Report to CA DMV. Excellent reception area, w/options for inside or out-a fine business, well run!
Shelby Fields
I came to Santa Monica Motors to get smog tested before registering my car in CA. Turns out, I could register WHILE I got smog tested. Santa Monica Motors patiently helped me navigate through the painful process of out-of-state car registration while I called my bank and auto dealer. They were champs! The smog test took about 15 minutes. Will definitely be going back.
Melody Gonzalez
Great place to get your smog check! Bob was very helpful. We waited about 15-20min. With a coupon it was about $70.
Ross Rylance
Just moved from Monroe NC to Santa Monica. Dreaded the idea of getting the Smog Check and CA plates on the Car.
Not only is this place professional, clean, great location and quick.
Ray Hodrick saved me hours at the DMV be reminding me that AAA in Santa Monica could handle the transfer at their office a few blocks away!
I was out with new plates an hour later!
THANK YOU!!
Ashleigh Chilton
Great service upon arrival. Their employee greeted and directed me. The smog test took 10 minutes and each of their staff members were so professional and super friendly. I would highly recommend. The pretty brunette at the front desk and older gentleman with the tablet were people assisting me.
tatiana kearn
The most detailed shop. They sent me a full overview and said this is standard which was a great surprise to me. They did take a little longer than initially mentioned but it was no problem. Will definitely continue to come here.
Scott Allen
UPDATED REVIEW: Bob is great. Mr. Park is great.
Super nice, attentive, professional and efficient gents. I've been bringing my vehicles to Bob & team since ~2011 and I'm continually impressed by the level of service and quickness to process SMOG Inspections. I'm always met with a positive energy.
Thank you for making my ongoing visits such a pleasure :)
Customer for life...

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 6 Stars! I wish ya'll had a BONUS Star that I could give, 'cause you always earn it! What another wonderful experience today. Fast, efficient, friendly, professional and a great atmosphere. That's why I keep coming back and referring as many of my friends and colleagues as I possibly can :)
KUDOS!
Talin Sumps
Wow! What a great experience. 3 days after purchasing a Rav4 from a shady, snake-like car dealership, I brought the car here for a complete used car inspection. My faith in car service people was at its lowest BUT Santa Monica Motots was incredible! Ray in particular provided thorough explanation of the service I would be getting, made notes to accomodate the extra parts of the car I wanted checked, and even asked if I had a time restraint to be mindful of. I'll say it again. Wow. Afterwards, he even walked me through the data they had collected on all Rav4s to let me know what the most common car diagnosis could be seen first on my new car. So thankful for this place's honesty and expertise. Also, the price was the cheapest I found! For sure will revisit for my car needs.
Angela Marcantonio
Let's start off by saying I hate to get my car smogged! However I pulled into Santa Monica motors was greeted by a lovely gentleman who immediately took my car in and smogged it. I cannot say enough positive things about this place they're so pleasant and quick a wonderful experience!
Jenn
Bob and his team were so kind. I got my smog check in less than 20 mins flat. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you so very much!
Jordan Oddo
I've never been so happy with a service that is normally seen as mundane, confusing, or frustrating. Santa Monica Motors and team helped me with everything I needed for my car.
First and foremost, I was greeted with the warmest hello. They were so helpful, open, and honest through my visit there.
Through casually talking, they told me they also did vehicle registration there (I was moving from Texas to California, and was still confused with what all had to be done, in what order, etc.). Not only did they saved me from having to go to the DMV again (5 stars right there), but they explained the entire process from beginning to end, and made the transfer so easy. They even changed my plates for me.
I can't thank them and recommend them enough!
JONATHAN SELIG
I've been getting my smog tests done here from several years. Always great, that's why I keep going back. This visit was same as always: fast, efficient service. A nice touch was the $10 emailed coupon I received. I made an appointment but didn't really need it. Fortunately, there were no other customers there when I arrived, so I got in and out very quickly. Service was friendly and helpful. I'll go back next year for the smog check of our other car.
Uju Enuma Edoziem
My experience started with a call. The person who answered the phone was professional and provided me with more than enough information so I was prepared for my visit. The gentleman that met me upon arrival was courteous, assuring, and thorough. They usually suggest you carve out 30-mins for the smog check, but my car was done within 10 minutes. The cashier that processed my payment was efficient. All in all a great experience and I will certainly be back in the future!
John Levy
I don't leave many reviews, but I feel compelled to do so here given the outstanding quality of service that Santa Monica Motors consistently delivers. I've been a customer of theirs for several years, and they have always taken good care of me and my cars. There have been two separate recent instances where I have had to show up unannounced, and they have managed to fit me into their busy schedule and have service completed in the same day. They are honest, dependable, and responsive, and I highly recommend them.
Shawna Foster
I love Santa Monica Motors. I've been going here for years and they never disappoint. My last Smog Check the other day - took 20 minutes and they were so efficient. Great company, local and always deliver. I've lived in SM for over 15 years now and would never bring my car anywhere else for a Smog Check. Clean, friendly, fast and reasonable - what more could you ask for when none of us really want to have to do smog checks in the first place right? Highest recommendation possible. Customer for life here. Oh and they have a coupon online for $10.00 off which never hurts in "these crazy times"...5 stars :)
jason briseno
while making an appointment over the phone, service was incredibly helpful and prompt. Brought my vehicle in and my quote was very fair, they beat my dealer by $100+ and my work was done in 24hrs!
Would highly recommend
Richard Hollander
This is a great place to do smog certification. I have used them before. It is a great place to do smog certification during the pandemic. Lots of thought went in to how they handle you and your car with the minimum risk of exposure. On top of that, the process was fast. I highly recommend Santa Monica Motors.
elaine paterson
Great experience. Second time going here for smog test. The guy knew who I was before I even told him why I was there. Girl on the desk was extremely friendly and helpful. Expected it to take longer than usual as it was midday when I dropped off the car. Took all of 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend. Very happy customer :)
Christopher Leal
I came here based off a recommendation from a friend. My experience was great, I was greeted right when I turned into the parking lot. The smog check was quick and they sanitized my car after performing my test. Excellent service all around, and they give discounts right off their website. I will be coming back here.
Adam Mieuli
The process for a smog check is super easy and quick with status updates over texts. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I’ve gone to them for my smog check several times now. I send my friends here, the experience with staff and service is always consistent. Highly recommend.
Marley Taylor
I’ve always had a positive experience here - they’re extremely helpful in explaining the details of the service and have quoted me lower than what I’ve been quoted at a Nissan dealership (I have a Nissan). They almost always get the work done same day or next day, and have easy interfaces to provide quotes/updates to the service and they text you when you’re cars ready. In general, the staff are always so helpful and friendly. I definitely feel like I can trust Santa Monica Motors with my car. Highly recommend
TOJ
Great for a Smog check. The entire process took about 15-20 minutes.
They have a nice waiting area (even though I did not wait long). Employees were friendly. Environment felt sanitized and all cautions were being used for virus protection. I have been coming here for several years and I will continue to do so.
Jordan Beltran Gonzales
We could not be more satisfied with Santa Monica Motors. We had the smoothest and most efficient SMOG check I've ever had, and we will return / recommend to any and all friends. Personable, professional, and ultra-clean throughout the process. Thank you and see you again!
Adam Small
I've taken my car to Santa Monica Motors for a few years now. I've found them to be very helpful, forthright, and friendly. This last time, when I told the manager I needed to have my car before 3:30, he made sure it was available at 2:30; when he saw me waiting for a while in the waiting room (which is very comfortable), he had a driver take me home. The car came out just great and they even cleaned it without my asking. I felt really appreciative and satisfied with the service. They were also honest and straightforward about pricing.
L. Worth
I was looking for alternative to Dealer for servicing and realized my favorite Smog Check place also does regular car maintenance and servicing. (Also a neighbor recommended them.)
Made an appointment for Oil Change and Inspection. Good updates. Don texted a list of recommended repairs (with pics of my dirty filters and brakes) and I called to confirm the work.
Now, car runs great. Happy Customer. I will return.
Derek Buchanan
This is the second time that I have taken my RV to Santa Monica Motors for the annual smog check and I have been extremely happy both times. Staff are friendly, price is good and they get you in and out fast. Would highly recommend.
Jonathan Kaunitz
Have been going here for 30 years. Hands down the most efficient , best run, reasonable, and honest car service place on the Westside. Have a fixed price schedule, no phony baloney. Employees are courteous and also health conscious. Wish they did more than smog!
Gary Hurt
I have been getting my car smog checked at this location for years...they are the best! Attentive, efficient, friendly, was in and out in 20 minutes , barely had enough time to finish my great cup of coffee in my comfortable chair in the waiting area! Bob and team are the best! Highly highly recommend them!
Heather Blanda
Excellent service! Highly recommend. I stumbled upon this place for a smog check - they took me in right away, I was in and out in 15 minutes. The only problem with the speed was that I was having such a delightful conversation with Bob and would have gladly waited longer to chat with him more :) ! It’s a bit pricey at $69.95 but there was a $10 off coupon they told me about so it wasn't as bad and I prefer to support small local businesses. Definitely check them out and make sure to say hi to Bob!
Debbie Stern
I drove in without an appointment, and was promptly met at my car and told I would be able to be in and out within 30 minutes. I went to pay, was offered a very comfortable indoor seat as it was cold and windy, was honored with a discount, and was out the door in about 20 minutes. A great service; a great experience.
Saveen Ramzan
I am so glad I found this place! Amongst other things my air conditioner wasn’t working and I didn’t want to spend a fortune on these fixes. I called beforehand and they were super helpful. Went in for my appointment and I was relieved that everyone was wearing a mask and there was contactless check-in. They did a great job and it was in my budget! Definitely going back here for any car problems, wishing I would have found them earlier!!!
Diana De Leon
I had a great experience getting my smog check at Santa Monica Motors. Everyone one was very friendly, especially Bob at the front desk. The waiting area is very nice and relaxing and the service was done quickly. I would highly recommend going to Santa Monica Motors.
Liz Hooker
A fabulous experience from start to finish! I believe Bob is the owner and I was greeted by him promptly almost before I could roll down the window. Within a minute or two tops someone was already over getting ready to service my vehicle. Then I was directed to go to their lounge and check in with Daisy the receptionist who completed all the necessary documents for the servicing on my car.
There I meant two lovely ladies who enjoyed meeting my dog! So I might I add they are very dog friendly!
You know it is rare to get customer service like this these days.
Thank you Santa Monica Motors and Bob and your crew of help!
Trio Dragons
I've been coming to this place for over 10 years for our 3 cars (my own, my wife's and my son's), most of the services were for smog certificates, several times were to fix engine oil leaks, replacing starter and oil changes. Overall, the staffs and owner are very professional, honest and knowledgeable which gave me great confidence with their work.
Jacobi Wade
Efficient, fast, quality service for smog check. I was in and out in less than half an hour. The office has complimentary water bottles and coffee in their office. Each time I’ve come here for smog checks the staff is very helpful, competent, professional and friendly. Highly recommend for quick and affordable smog tests in Santa Monica.
Sonia Manzo
Santa Monica Motors is AWESOME! I went here for a complicated smog check (old car), and they were super kind, helpful and pretty quick. They also have a very pleasant waiting room. Next time I need a smog check, I’m coming here. I highly recommend them!
Lisa Anderson
I’ve used Santa Monica Motors for years. I delayed this service due to Covid, but was happy to see all the safety measures they have in place, including a outside waiting area, ability to pay online, and handing me my key with a clean towel. Fantastic. Highly recommend.
R C
The folks at Santa Monica Motors are top shelf! It is the kind of service you often look for yet rarely find.
From the owner to the admin teams and each of the service techs I have dealt with are courteous, professional and knowledgable.
Truly refreshing doing business here.
regina smith
I Love ❤️ Santa Monica Motors , they have taken excellent care of my vehicle for 10 years ...the Best!! Ray is wonderful, honest , genuine and positive energy, I truly appreciate him. I highly recommend Santa Monica Motors 💫🌟 …
James Carmichael
Got a smog check here.
Good distancing in reception/payment area, which I appreciated. Informative and friendly service, both at reception/payment and in the garage itself.. Quick (<30 minutes total). Second time here -- both have been like this. Good spot for smog checks.
Carolyn Ki
Steve & Co. are super!! They did my biannual Smog this afternoon for my Carolla, and I'm very happy with their service! Complete professionals and very courteous, highly recommended! Thanks again Steve & Company, you all rock US!!
Andrea Martinez
Fantastic experience getting my smog test here. I was in and out in 20 minutes max and Bob in the office was so kind and helpful! The office is also large and very clean and welcoming which is a nice departure from most auto shops.
Meryl Parks
I got my Smog test today Saturday, everyone was so kind and helpful, a few years ago I took an elderly women's car here for her smog check and I never forgot how kind they were, so that is why I brought my car here, Kindness, they make you feel comfortable also.
Best experience I ever had getting my car smoged
thank you Santa Monica Motors for your Kindness.
I will tell people I know to come see you.
See you next time! Meryl Parks
Barbara Rose
This is the second time I relied on Santa Monica motors to smog check my car. They are absolutely fantastic. Organized, efficient, friendly, reasonably priced, fast and honest! You can absolutely trust your car in their hands.
Kenk
While parking,the service writer approached immediately, greeted me and very politely initiated the paperwork for the smog inspection. He remembered me from the last inspection 2 years ago. The waiting lounge was very nice and clean, with ample seating and wi-fi, felt like I was in a coffee house except here, the coffee was free. All the employees were courteous. They gave me a time estimate of 30 minutes but my car was ready in about 20, which was a pleasant surprise. I have, and will continue to recommended Santa Monica Motors to others.
Garland Allen
I first tried out John and Eduardo's shop after the local Lexus dealer told me I needed to do $5000 of work on my out-of-warranty car. They quoted me a price of around $2500 for the same work and did a fine job. Since then they've proven that they are trustworthy and do quality work. I happily recommend them.
Daniel Antoniazzi
These guys have been amazing with my car for almost a decade now. Even though I moved out of Santa Monica three years ago, I still go to them whenever my car needs service. They're friendly, they explain what's going on, and their prices are great. If you're in the greater Los Angeles area and need a mechanic, check them out!
Kathy Horohoe
I went here for my smog test, everyone was professional and polite. I was greeted right away pulled into a spot, my information was entered into a iPad, I then waited in a nice area outside under an umbrella. The service was super quick, got a text when it was done, went inside paid and was out of there. They even have a 10 dollar coupon online that I used towards my service. I would go back again.
David Zimmerman
I've been to SM motors several times over the years for my smog tests. Always fast freindly service. Just a great group of people from the service mechanics to the office personnel. These folks know what their doing....highly recommend.
Doris Neubauer
I was thinking for a smog check place it would be pretty generic and that the reviews were probably exaggerated. But from the moment I arrived to when I left, there was such charm and warm hospitality. The guys who took my car were like uncles and Bob at the counter was super welcoming in a humble sense. A smog check here is priced based on year and size. With the $10 off coupon from their website, my Mazda hatchback smog check was a bit over $50 with tax.
Would recommend for everyone. Smog check took less than 15 minutes. You can wait in the lobby where they have free WiFi and coffee.
Kathryn Hewitt
Santa Monica Motors is thorough and efficient when inspecting and servicing my car. They evaluate problems and report back through videos and quick text descriptions so the customer understands exactly what needs to be fixed and why. I am confident they try to resolve a problem in the most conservative way before they recommend replacement parts. And they explain every mechanical procedure in layman’s terms until you understand the issue. We have trusted them for years with our cars.
Louise French
I am a repeat customer to Santa Monica Motors. This facility has the nicest employees. So helpful, care about your car and most of all they care about you as their customer. Their waiting area is clean, you can make your own cup of coffee, and have bottled water available. Highly recommended!!!!
Kim Albarino
Fast, friendly, professional. I’ve been getting SMOG check certifications here for our cars for 10+ years and am always surprised by how simple they make the process. Now, during COVID concerns, they offer contactless service. Thank you!
Keonna Harris
I was very pleased with the customer service! I walked in without an appointment and they were able to get me in and out in less than 30 minutes for my smog check. The front desk staff was very friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend this place.
Parin Jaffer
Santa Monica Motors staff are so great and professional. Always ready and available to make their clients feel cared for and ready to go an extra mile for their clients - especially in these difficult circumstances.
Thank you!! Karim, Ray, Dennis, Fidel, Bob and all the other staff that took care of my car!!
Kristine Williams
I have been taking my 20+ year old car to Santa Monica Motors for many years now. I have complete trust in them to expertly do the work that is needed and not recommend work that is not needed - complete trust that they are concerned about my well being as a person and as a customer. They are patient and kind with my questions-they treat me like a much loved family member. Thank you Kareem, Ray and team for always being there when I need you!
Tom Adams
I wanted to share a most pleasant experience at Santa Monica Motors yesterday. I needed a smog check and the gentleman who first assisted me was there, just as I pulled in the parking lot. In pre-covid days, there was a room to wait in with free coffee, etc, but those days are gone. Not their fault. Besides, it was a warm day, so being outside, under a big umbrella was no big deal. In fact, the smog check was completed before I had a chance to check all my emails on my phone! The gentleman brought me inside, where I paid Bob, the really nice owner who has been there for years. Everything couldn't have taken more than fifteen minutes. I highly recommend SM Motors when you need your next smog check.
Tucker Poindexter
My experience at Santa Monica Motors was disappointing only in regard to the price. I am still struggling to understand the amount of money paid for the services rendered, and this may cause me to look elsewhere for future needs. However, in every other way my experience here was efficient and professional. I especially appreciated the efforts they were taking to make customers feel safe regarding the pandemic; at one point a gentleman wiped down something he had handled with sanitizer before handing it back to me. If price were no object, I would certainly return.
J Fens
I had my wife follow me to drop car off for smog check and said to call when it was ready. The helpful girl behind the counter said I should just wait as it would only be 15-20 minutes. I had just brewed a fresh cup of coffee in their machine and sat down when the man came in and said it was ready. NEVER had a smog check done that quickly and efficiently.
Kallie Dorland
I went to Santa Monica Motors when I first moved to LA to get a smog check. They were friendly, efficient and provided great service! A few weeks later I was having a hard time removing my old license plate from my car. Several other shops dismissed me without even looking at the problem. Not only did Santa Monica motors look at my car, they actually fixed the problem. Everyone there is super helpful and friendly. They will definitely be my go-to in the future!
Kadar P. Vimana Vernes
ray worked w me throughout my experience at the shop the past couple of days, and i am very grateful for that. ray and the shop were consistently very helpful and accommodating to me, friendly, and did everything in their power to make sure i was good. whether it be a ride home or a rental in emergency scenarios or a minor miscommunication that could’ve led to an issue, they were amazing at resolving everything and making sure my experience was as smooth and affordable as possible.
thank you!!
Vicky Wozniak
I took my car in for a smog test since it’s time to register my car. They were very quick and they even gave me a discount because it was my first time going there. The cashier was very nice and efficient. I highly recommend this place. I was able to get the smog check done and get to work on time.
Thank you SM motors !!
Jackie Ireland
Service is always good and everyone inspires confidence because everyone knows what they are doing. Additionally, I was particularly impressed with all of the safety and sanitary procedures that are in place due to COVID 19. Not all businesses follow guidelines. But Santa Monica Motors follows them explicitly. I was definitely impressed.
Andy Vu
Been going here for years for smog check. They are all very nice and helpful. The office now is comfortable with a/c, good seating and wi-fi while you wait. (This place was good before the new office). I will continue coming back as long as I'm still living in the area.
Pinker Floyd
Just got back from my car service with these guys and, although I have about 20 things I need to do in the next hour, made leaving this review a priority. They are just that good. I dealt with both Don and Ray during the middle of the day when they had several services already occupying their attention, yet they stopped what they were doing to listen to my issues and addressed them promptly (they were minor). This is my 4th time visiting this shop, and guaranteed it will not be my last. This the type of shop you continue to return to even when you move farther away. Thank you to everyone at Santa Monica Motors. You all are fantastic and your superb customer service is recognized and appreciated.
Andrew Apter
I would say this place is the gold standard for Star rated smog tests. Immediate service, plenty of room to park, and pull up. The main office is large and comfy with water, coffee, elegant chairs and side tables for reading and relaxing. Staff are really nice. I was In and out in 20 minutes. It does, however, cost a bit more than the bottom line budget garages, but I guess you get what you pay for without getting grease on your pants or dirt from sitting on a curb outside while waiting forever to get your car back. Treat yourself to an upgrade!
Annie
My experience with SMM this past week was 5 star service! I have an old car (2001 Ford Focus zx3) that I want to keep running as long as possible. It’s had an incredibly annoying vibration (the whole car vibrated) for years. I’ve taken it to several mechanics who said “oh it might be this or that” with no concrete solutions. Finally the vibration got bad enough that I decided to pay the $ to have it fixed. SMM diagnosed it very quickly and sent text messages with pictures, descriptions and a quote within a day of me dropping off “ol’ blue”. My car was fixed within two days and drives like it’s brand new!
The lobby is also very nice and the employees at the desk professional and polite. Ray was very nice and helpful at explaining the process. I feel the prices were fair. I will always bring my cars to SMM from now on.
Mag Garcia
Been coming here for several years to get a SMOG check. Clean, friendly, and professional. Even with all the new plexiglass, it’s always wonderful to see Bob’s smiling face from behind the counter. I love supporting this local longtime business.
Chris Carrico
I have lived in Santa Monica for a long time and have used several different shops over the years. I will never need to look for a new mechanic again! Don at Santa Monica Motors is absolutely the best!
I have two Dodge vehicles and a Nissan and he has worked on them all.
He has done fantastic work on: radiator, head lights, engine, transmission, oil changes, and much more.
Thought they are not the cheapest in town...you can't find a more honest group of guys who focus on quality and customer service.
Don and his crew are absolutely THE BEST!!
Alex J.
I have been coming here for smog test since my car turned 6 yrs old. Always in and out in less than 15 mins. Good price too (with the online coupon). Will return in 2 years time.
Adrienne Antonsen
I can't thank you guys enough! I came in to Santa Monica Motors for a basic smog check, and you all really helped me out through the repair process to get a pass. I'm super impressed by how honest and helpful you guys are, how you are willing to go the extra mile to get things done efficiently, and how friendly you all are! It was awesome to get the smog check, repairs, and final registration steps/plates done in one location. What could have been a really stressful experience ended up being very pleasant and easy. Thanks Bob, Don, Ray & Harry - you guys are the best and I'll definitely be coming back!
Carmen Lezeth
Very nice people -- efficient, quick, professional. I also have to say, I was extremely appreciative of the detail and care they took to protect me and themselves in regards to the Covid19 issue. I felt safe and protected while also doing business (paying my bill) in the office. I will use them again in the future.
Kimberly Eddinger
Always quick and professional service! Came most recently for a smog check but I’ve also had my breaks done here. Still coming back even though it’s a little out of my area because they’re so reliable and friendly.
Helen Polos
The receptionist is rude and slow. She's a mess compared to every other contact that I've had ever, in 10+ years. Except for her, 5 star, all the way!
Ted Schouten
Been to SMM for several years now for both my cars. Each year the experience gets better now that they moved the office to the building next door - great waiting area with Keurig coffee, water and charging stations. Friendly staff and great service. Added bonus was getting in on the Groupon voucher. In and out in 20 minutes. Would not consider going anywhere else.
John LaBorde
We need more people in the world like Bob... awesome experience, easy, fast, good stuff.#1 in smog check. Covid precautions in all aspects of the complete transaction. From drop off to pay n leave, well thought out. Thanks again. See ya in 2 years.
Corinne Levin
Always such a wonderful experience to get a smog check quickly and have the passing certificate go right to the DMV! The whole team at SM Motors is kind, helpful and makes something we all have to do to keep our air clean an easy process.
Ed Roach
Groupon has a deal which makes this place even better to get that necessary smog certificate.
Really great customer service from a friendly staff, and a comfortable waiting area.
Will use them for my wife's car in a few months.
crystal
I think these guys are great ! They are very informative when I was asking questions about my older car . My smog check was smooth and easy as always and I even forgot my debit card and they let me pay my bill when I got home ! So convenient I thought I would have to Uber home to get my bank card ! I will start to take my car here for repairs as I feel these guys are trustworthy and really want to help !
Larry George
I and my family have been going to Santa Monica Motors for over 20 years and through probably ten cars. They are simply the BEST auto professionals I have ever entrusted my cars to. I will continue taking my cars to them as long as they're in business. They have the best mechanics, staff, and repair people in the area, they're super professional, and they have always been completely honest and trustworthy with me. Instead of looking for the highest markup as some shops might, they have gone way out of their way to save me money by giving me good advice about repair options and suggesting alternatives to expensive repairs. One time during the holiday rush I had to have a complicated computer something or other replaced on the engine of my Lexus, and they tracked down a much less expensive discounted one for me. They worked overtime on it and by the time it was all over it cost them much more than they ended up charging me for the repair, but they got the car ready for a long holiday trip. That's the kind of business they run. I strongly recommend them.

I’ve been having my vehicles (including an RV!) smogged here for the past 15 years and have never failed to receive prompt, friendly, and professional service. A special shoutout to Bob who goes out of his way to ensure a good experience. Today, in these Covid times, I was very happy to see that they were doing everything by the book and beyond to maximize customer safety, right down to sanitizing my credit card before handing it back (my “tap” function didn’t work). If every business was run like this, we’d all be in a better place!
Nathan Chasen
Great place. Offers appointments online so you show up and your car is immediately inspected for smog. You wait in a nice air conditioned office for about 15 minutes. Then your done .
Eugene Kaler
Don and Ray do a great job, they're friendly, competent and the experience is pressure free. They'll take the time to explain what the issue is and gladly explore all the options with you, they did a fantastic job on my Nissan Altima. I will definitely come back and recommended this shop to others.
Scott Sp
Great place, first time there. Stopped in for a smog test and they were incredibly polite and professional. Got me in and out quickly. Would definitely use them for any of my auto needs in the future.
Dragana Balaban
I am so happy to have Santa Monica Motors in my neighborhood! Getting your car smog checked is not something anyone looks forward to but Santa Monica Motors make it so smooth, quick and painless! I went in this Saturday morning and I was done within 20 minutes! The facilities are really pleasant and so is their staff. I highly recommend Santa Monica Motors to anyone who needs a smog check or any other car service!
Carter Hall
These guys are the best. Ray, Don and the rest of the staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and (most importantly) HONEST. I struggled for years to find a good mechanic that I felt I could trust until a friend recommended Santa Monica Motors about 7 years ago. I have been coming here ever since and I have never had anything less than an excellent experience.
When the IMA system on my Honda Civic Hybrid failed and needed to be replaced, I found out it was going to cost over 5K to replace. But Don looked into it for me (without me asking him to) and discovered that the warranty for that part had been extended. He printed out the information regarding the warranty for me and sent me to the dealership where I got it replaced FOR FREE. Yes, you read that correctly. Santa Monica Motors turned down an opportunity to charge me for service and instead sent me to the dealership, saving me thousands of dollars in the process. These guys are the real deal and the most trust-worthy mechanics I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with.
Look no further, Santa Monica Motors is the best shop in town.
Fabio Fantone
Excellent work. These guys are honest and always do a good job. I would usually give five stars but it just seemed a little overly expensive to pay $530 for six spark plugs to be changed and to remove a nail and patch up from one tire.
Mike S
Just did a smog check with Santa Monica Motors, and everything went smoothly. Took less time than they said it would, and I was able to wait in their cozy waiting room. Easy transaction too. Highly recommend.
Jimmy Jam
I came in with a huge dilemma, needing my engine check light off in order to pass the SMOG test. Don and company promised to do what it took to take care of the situation, in a reasonable and timely manner. They followed through with their promise. I was happy with their service.
Doryen Chin
I had a funeral to get to and they did everything in their power to make it happen.
The staff were friendly, helpful, and very up-front. Knowing I was having a life crisis, they expedited my repairs and got to work right away on my ancient and poorly maintained car.
Their diagnosis was thorough and honest. I've been told by two major houses that my brakes needed to be replaced, but Santa Monica Motors took photos of every point of inspection and demonstrated that my brakes were perfectly well-inside the safe zone. They make sure to treat the cause of an issue, not just the symptom, and I'm not sure just how common that is these days.
Also, free wifi, coffee, and a comfortable reception area, made the experience extremely positive.
Thanks folks, I would definitely recommend you to my friends and family.
D G
Simple drove in was greeted promptly and service started immediately. I was there for about twenty minutes. Bob in the office offered coffee, water was very nice lounge area great smog check!
George Hall
You ask if I'd recommend you to a friend; I already have. From a prior experience, I can say that they are efficient, knowledgeable and thorough. During a major service, they told me I didn't need doing expensive items listed in the manual. Although they discovered other items that needed work, I feel I got what I needed. They are also pleasant to work with.
Maria R
Great place. Very nice people, efficient, with a clean and comfortable waiting room. I priced them out in advance and they were the best price too. Highly recommend going there for your smog check.
Eleanne van Vliet
I'm blown away by the excellent customer service and mechanical work that Don and his team provided - they were thorough yet very mindful of my time constraints. Don went through great lengths to share with me both visually and verbally - in non-car-mechanic terms my car status and issues--I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that!
Don & co are experts in their field, highly professional and personable. And my car's issues - completely fixed within 24 hours! Don has created an incredible team that operates like a well-functioning family. Everyone treats you with respect and explains every detail in a way a non-mechanic can easily understand! Thanks Don, Jose and Ray!
Sarah Mirza
I have only great things to say about Santa Monica Motors. I've been recommending them to my friends all over L.A. for years. They are efficient, fair, friendly, and explain everything clearly. They always do excellent work. This garage (and everyone who works there) is a gem! Don goes beyond the call of duty every time and makes going to the garage easy. Thank you, Santa Monica Motors.
Aliceann Grusin
Not just a neighborhood auto shop. I used to take my car to the dealer (and spend too much money) and then I discovered SM Motors. They do simple oil changes and more complex repairs (my car had an oil leak). They’re friendly, tech savvy and honest.
Kimberly Nieves
I recently relocated from Oregon, and had to get my car smog tested. The car failed three times before passing. The Santa Monica Moters team was very helpful in doing what they could to advise me on what to do to increase the chances of passing the test. Ultimately I had to put several miles on the car to reset the car’s on-board diagnostic computer (round trips to San Diego), but it worked.
Mary Vaiana
I love SM Motors. They are efficient, friendly, and do their best to adapt to customers'' schedules. What I don't know about cars would fill volumes, so I am very grateful that I can trust them completely to give me an accurate assessment of my car and to advise me about what needs to be done now and what could be done later. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Randall Lunetto
These guys are the best! You’ve helped me so much over the past 5 years or so. This review is long overdue.
Thank you for your excellent service.
Today, Steve helped me out big time.
Awesome guy!!
Naoki Mayeda
Friday 230pm, no car ahead of me, smog check done in less than 15mins. 51bucks. Relaxed in their waiting room had coffee and watched an inning of baseball playoffs. Cool guys professional workers and personable. Great job
Mark Primack (Primo Driving)
Always a good experience here. We have a fleet of 13 vehicles between Primo Driving Schools, Westwood Driving School and Primo Platinum (New G-63 AMG) Don't waste time anywhere else. Bob and his friendly crew run well oiled machine. Keep up the great service!
Scott Mabbutt
Let me preface this review by stating that it takes something very extreme to put "pen to paper". Santa Monica Motors did, what I thought, could not be done. I dealt with both Ray and Don, both extremely friendly, fair and helpful. Not only did they quickly ascertain why my "check engine" light was on, (something that my old mechanic could not figure out after three days but not even the Hyundai dealer could figure out), they got it to pass the smog test. All of this for an incredibly reasonable price and far, far less than the previous mechanic and dealer charged me with no results or even answers. Santa Monica Motors will now be my official mechanic for every automobile I will ever have. They turned a complete nightmare into a routine service and did it stress free. Five stars. Thanks Ray and Don.
Clayton Schoeny
Excellent service. David took very good care of me and my Miata. I really appreciate that they didn't try to recommend services that my car didn't need. I will definitely be coming back here.
Leigh O’Connor
An absolute HUGE THAK YOU to Ray and the entire team at Santa Monica Motors. If all repair shops were as professional and caring as this team repair shops wouldn’t have such a bad name. I’m actually sad that they can’t fully complete everything that has to get done (damn warranty company not allowing them to just replace the engine), I know the dealerships wont be anywhere near the same. Next time my car need anything else done I’m going here 100%! Thank you again Ray and everyone at Santa Monica Motors!
Kim Selbert
Excellent and prompt service. I recommend Santa Monica Motors Smog Check to everyone who needs to have a smog check for their car. Plus I saved $10 with their discount coupon, so that was an extra bonus.
Diego Arancibia
I used their services (smog check) twice in 2 years. Fast, professional, kind, clean place (sanitized). Bob was super friendly. Thanks.
ANNA CARTER
Very quick and easy, no complaints. I have a super old truck and other places give me a hard time for it but they didn’t care at all. Will come again for anything car related.
Mike Lang
Friendly, excellent service. Short wait. Clean office. Easy in- easy out. Definitely recommend anyone in West LA/SM to get your smog check here.
Diana Schwab
The technicians at Santa Monica Motors are the best. They treat you like family. They are excellent technicians and truly care for each of their customers. They have repaired my car for years and I cannot imagine going anywhere else. I recommend them highly.
R K (rollwithaK)
You wouldn't expect to get as good as an experience as you would just from the looks of the shop, because it seems small. But great things can come in small packages that's for sure! This is my kind of shop, the kind that uses quality products and parts. The kind that they would use on their cars, and they are fair. I would recommend my mother to this shop, you should too!
Ron Austin
Brought in my son's 2012 Genesis--air conditioning not working and frozen display screen. Don was very responsive in keeping me informed about diagnosis, cost and completion time. AC fix was 40% less than dealer. I can't imagine what dealer would have charged for the screen but Don and team worked with mfg. on programming fix as opposed to replacement of unit. Very pleased, highly recommend Santa Monica Motors and will begin taking my Lexus there for maintenance and repair.
Matthew Wyman
Class Acts! I went in there after having issues with my Audi A4. The problem was quite tricky and took a few attempts but they nevertheless continued to work on the car, were very informative, always communicating exactly when they said they would and although the problem never fully got solved they worked with me on a resolution. I would recommend getting service done there. Josh and Ray were extremely helpful.
Daniel Milewsky
I’m not sure why anyone would ever go to the DMV for registration when City Car Rental exists. Harry was so friendly and beyond helpful. Was in and out in 15 minutes. Can not recommend them enough. I would rate them more stars if I could.
Rodrigo Lima
I took my car to get the smog check and Park helped me. Amazing customer service, literally got in and out in 10 minutes. I really recommend these guys.
Joshua Raphaelson
Excellent service. Ray is extremely helpful and is great with communication. They have a lot of expertise with Prius and I have three that get regular maintenance here. Always reasonable in cost and on time.
Josh Raphaelson
I just have to say, Don and Santa Monica Motors are consistently excellent. I have 2 Priuses, I get great information, fast service and honest pricing, including for smaller jobs like SMOG check and oil change. Very professional and helpful.
Brittany Raimo
Probably the nicest staff I have come in contact with in a long time! Bob was so attentive to the social distancing details and so gracious for my service. Great conversation too! I will definitely be back!
Shana Bush
Not only do they offer what most other smog check spots do - an easy to find online discount coupon - but they are also taking all covid-based precautions. I wish more places were as planned out, clean, concise, and professional.
ks zim
I've been taking our cars to these guys for years to get smog checks and they are great. Wonderful customer service and I'm always in and out quickly.
Giorgio Anastasios
Great experience. Last day of registration renewal at dmv. Needed smog, and no sooner then having small talk......my Naviagtor was smogged and ready and payment transacted in all of 15 minutes. Great service.
Dale Allen
Saw the good reviews on yelp. Came for a smog check. Extremely fast and professional service. Only took 15 minutes. Cost $57 after they applied a $10 yelp discount. Will be back for other auto needs.
teramitsu
very impressed with their work & honesty. they pointed out pressing & long term areas of the car i should keep an eye out for without trying to upsell me - a webpage of your car with photos documentation. very helpful. i asked if they could look at the repair that the dealer (Toyota of SM) had to legally make because of their mistake & SMM mechanic inspected my oil pan & documented the repair with plenty of photos of the underside of my car. my grandfather was a mechanic & i grew up fixing cars. they pointed out it was time to change my air filter, but left it up to me to change it myself ($21 Toyota OEM part) if i preferred. the dealer on the other hand tried to upsell me at $450 which is why i now bring my 3 cars here.
Diana Perez
Walked in, friendly, clean. Explained my needs, understanding and pleasant. Needed my car back soon, took care of things quickly and efficiently. I am happy with this place and the service. I would definitely recommend!
Lionel Gaucher
After years of receiving terrible, indifferent, overpriced service from Honda dealerships all over L.A., I tried out Santa Monica Motors about 10 years ago. They have never failed to perform admirably. One of Karim's mechanics once diagnosed an odd engine noise in my 1998 Honda Civic as a hidden exhaust manifold leak ... after listening to the engine for only 5 seconds. Freaky. It was like consulting the Oracle of Delphi without the incense.
They have also done great work on my 2006 Honda Accord. They always follow my instructions to not overfill my oil crankcase, which is a request I could never get dealerships to honor. Just today, they replaced a blown headlight bulb, including a battery removal, in under 10 minutes. There weren't even any repair slots available today, but they squeezed this work in between other customers' appointments during a lunch hour. Just try doing that at a dealership. My only regret about posting this review is that it might make it a bit more difficult to get an appointment. :)
Wesley Thibault
Don and Ray are some of the best people I have had the pleasure of working with on my car. My Acura RSX and my girlfriend's Honda Accord are old and need some tender love and care. Not only has Don always accepted my car at the drop of the hat, he has purposefully steered me away from sometimes costly repairs that were able to be done by me personally. I think everyone can agree that the most important characteristic of a mechanic, other than skill, is trustworthiness. I completely trust them to do the right job. As long as I am in Santa Monica, I will always be going to SM Motors. Cannot recommend them enough!
Jim Thomas
This was my second time getting my smog test at this location, and it was terrific, just like before. They are lightning fast, explain everything very clearly, and offer solutions to any hiccups, in the process. Their lobby is very comfortable, too. Free Wi-Fi, coffee & water, too! I highly recommend to everyone who mentions the word "smog". Thank you !!!
Geo Verna
Have been coming to Santa Monica Motors for many years for the smog certification on my cars. They have always been very professional, and their prices are the best in town.
Kathy Crawford
It was my first time and The Inspector guy Joseph was very professional and he had very good customer service the price was very reasonable and service was very fast. The girl at the front counter had very good customer service as well I will tell all my friends about this place and I will definitely come back. Thanks guy's
Anna Rehm
These guys are great! I called ahead and they made sure that our smog check was done quickly. Best experience I've ever had for anything auto-related. Thanks guys!
Dennis
I had my 20 year old Yukon smog checked thoday - fastest its ever been done! Super polite technician and owner. Definately recommend them!
Peter McCormick
Great experience every time. Bob greeted me warmly (as always). They took my car right away. All went as planned. Every experience I’ve had has been a good one
Lyn Corum
I've been taking my cars to Santa Monica Motors for years and my cars keep running and running. and running. They've taken care of all repairs and oil change services and I've never had a complaint.
B Man
They may not be the cheapest game in town, but they are very professional and I’ve had only good experiences. So, it appears those extra $$ are going toward competence, which is reassuring. Also, during this pandemic, they are really making a good effort to distance and sanitize things.
Elizabeth
I found this place through Groupon for a smog check. My experience was positive. The service was excellent. The wait room is clean and it offers free WiFi for its customers. I will return and consider it for other automatic repair services.
Joshua Spiegel
I think the thing I appreciate most is the honest updates. If it’s bad news they give it to you straight, if it’s good news they just take care of it and make it easy.
Ray is awesome. He takes care of everything from start to finish. Solid guy.
Carlene Dean
The employees are honest and courteous and friendly. Most of all they are honest and if they say a job needs being done, it does. They give quality work and whenever possible give you a break on the price charged. I wouldn't go any place else. Hope they never go out of business.
edan kfir
I came in to Santa Monica Motors/Santa Monica Smog test to do a pre smog check inspection. On the phone they told me that the inspection would be $120 and then an additional $69 for the smog test (at Santa Monica Smog test, it's the same place). They also mentioned that they offer a shuttle service to take me home.
They were very nice when I got there, and after giving them my information, I was told that the inspection would be just $70. Thinking I just saved $50 already made me happy.
I waited about 25 minutes for the shuttle driver and got a ride to my house (also in Santa Monica).
After 2 hours I received a phone call saying that there weren't any problems, they took my car through the smog test (and it passed) and the whole charge was $69.
So bassicaly, they inspected the car, fixed what was neccesary (I know for sure that the idle had to be adjusted), they only charged me for the test itself, and also gave me a ride back to the shop.
I couldn't possibly ask for more.
Kristy Kelly
Great friendly fast service. First time not going to dealership for regular service on my 2013 VW Tiguan S- - all good. Definitely will be back. Thanks SM Motors!
Rob Hesse
Went in for a smog check. Totally excellent service. In and out fast. Very nice ans experienced people here. I recommend this business for general automotive needs.
Sarah Hayes McGill
Excellent service! Professional, friendly, thorough, fast, and very clean! I highly recommend Santa Monica Motors! We will go back and refer our friends! :)
Kristen M
They are always so nice, and my trips there are quick and easy! Their prices are reasonable too. I will always go here to get my smog check!
Drew Williams
Hands down the best group of mechanics I've ever been to. Don was nice, thorough, and 100% honest about every detail in his inspection report, no wonder the ratings are so high! These guys are doing everything right.
Sharath Gowda
David was great keeping me informed of the diagnosis of my car problem. I love the text message updates and quotes, very easy, felt really good I wasn’t gonna get cheated.
kelly shemonis
Great customer service! Short wait time! Clean and comfortable waiting area.
Mary-Claire Anderson
I had a great experience! They were so incredibly kind, professional & very efficient. I highly recommend!
Benjamin Clune
Phenomenal. The single finest customer experience I have had in any industry. The car service was top-notch; the communication was so quick and professional. Go now and do not hesitate.
karim damji
Don is awesome! By far the most honest, straightforward, and generous mechanic I have ever met. When so many mechanics are dodgy, it's really refreshing to come across someone like Don. He's extremely genuine and honest.
Only GoodStuff
These guys are straightforward, honest, friendly, and really helpful. This place is my go-to for any car service. They have a great waiting room, easy location, and an awesome team. A++
Jason Dante
Always a pleasure to get my smog check here. Yeah...I know...smog check? pleasure? It's true though. Swift, professional service. I've been going to SM Motors for years and plan to continue to do so.
Valerie Peacock
They did a great, quick job. Everyone was incredibly pleasant, and their office was so nice and soothing. They had coffee, reading, and phone chargers. Highly recommend these guys!
Dan McGanty
Don and Ray at Santa Monica Motors are nothing short of awesome. I took my BMW in due to an electronics fault. They diagnosed the problem and worked on my behalf to get this expensive repair handled as a warranty matter. They then took the car to where this complex repair could be done and then kept the car for me for a week while I was away. The only bill I received was for the Smog Check that was due on the car (done next door and they even got me their discounted price for that). Can I give them six stars?
Jeff Altman
Called for an appt. for a smog check. Was told no appt. was necessary. I drove in at my convenience, and they smog checked the car and sent in the "pass" results electronically in less than 20 minutes. A great experience.
Jessica Porter
I've been taking my car to SM motors for five years now. I have never once had a bad experience. They are friendly, fairly priced, and on-the-ball. Great guys.
Dimo Diakov
They are very professional and rather quick. I have 2 cars that I have been bringing to them whenever they needed a smog check, and I trust them every time. A+
John Levoff
This is one of the great independent shops on the westside of LA. We have three cars, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, a Lexus GS 300 and a Toyota Prius, serviced and repaired here. Don and his technicians are not only friendly and very helpful, they know their stuff. We trust these guys to be accurate, fair, reliable and well priced. It's comforting to have auto mechanics that you can count on.
Jason Johnson
Great experience! The smog check was very fast and easy. The office was very professional. I definitely will be back. I highly recommend this place!!!
Mike Seaman
Very friendly would highly recommended.
Fast, I was out of there in a half hour.
This is my second car I have had smog
Will return 🤙💯 …
Jon Dude
They are fast, the place is clean, and the staff is friendly. They even have free coffee while you wait.
becca greene
I've been taking my 2002 VW Cabrio to Santa Monica Motors for oil changes and repairs for five years. Being an older car, it has issues from time to time...stalling out, etc. Their honest, reasonable, and reliable service keeps me coming back, and makes me feel safer on the road knowing that if something does go wrong, these guys have my back.
Eric Cooper
Pulled in, no wait & they had my vehicle registered from the last visit. The gentleman was very welcoming in the smog check bay. The team was finished before I finished my phone call.
sandra henney
Went to get a smog check yesterday. I always come here Bob is a sweetheart. Fast friendly efficient professional. I would highly recommend you come here
Maggie McCoy
SO fast! I visited over lunch break for a smog check and was in/out in 10 minutes. Very friendly staff. Make sure to print out the $10 off coupon to save on this.
INESE LILIJA VERZEMNIEKS
Smog check at Santa Monica Motors is always incredibly smooth and quick. With an appointment I was in and out in 15 minutes! THANK you for being in the neighborhood!
Autumn Palmer
I've been going to this place for over 10 years and it's always the same service awesome quality of experts with humble personalities.very reasonable priced as well and I think you have to be beautiful or handsome to work there..
... With excellent customer service. 🥰 …
Warren VanHorn
Getting a smog check was quick and easy. But wanted an oil change and wasn’t too happy they said it would take hours when there was a 15 minute oil change facility across the street.
Bob Easter
Don and Ray have been taking care of my 1991 Acura Integra with 225K on it for four years. They know how important the car is to me (and how tight $ is) and have saved it more than once when other places would have put her down. Honest, straight up, professional and good guys. They stand behind the work too. When a quickie oil place chopped off the oil pan plug in a weird way causing a leak Don fixed it for FREE! really appreciate all the great work they do.
amuro2000
This was my 3rd time getting a Smog Check at Santa Monica Motors. Again it was fast and professionally done . This shop is great and very clean . I highly recommend to anyone needing a Smog Check !
Amber Bhargava
Went in to get a smog check. They're open, have good social distancing plastic shielding in the lobby, and hand sanitizer. The two employees I interacted with were friendly :)
Tina Ringer
Been to them 3 times already and they never disappoint. Great customer service and they are make sure to get you in and out. I like how they upgraded there waiting area as well. Good people!
Roberta Conroy
Super easy. Very patient with my smog check when computer system showed a specific Lexus that was not my car! My plate number but not a Lexus! They problem solved this and got it done quickly!
sallylandau1
This is my go-to place for smog checks. Staff at desk has been friendly, professional and efficient over the years and the service is fast. Very dependable.
Jeanna Kier
I always take my car here to get a star smog check. It’s easy, fairly priced, and quick. I would definitely recommend them.
Mario Munoz
Good service, price affordable. Don't forget to visit their website to get that coupon.
LuAnn strauser
Brought my car in for a smog and was in and out in 10 minutes. Fast, efficient and courteous. I’ve brought my car here before and will definitely bring it here next time I need a smog.

Always come here every other year for the last 15 years! Bob is always amazing! Very helpful and accommodating and informative! I will be back in 2 years! Thanks for all your great help and hard work to all the staff
Audra Radcliffe
I’ve been a customer since the 80’s and through two owners. The service is fantastic. I am always greeted with warmth and receive honest service. Thank you Santa Monica Motors!
Kippy Miller
Always the BEST Experience! Don and Ray are great w. repairs, communication of how much, and when your car will be ready! The first auto shop that is enjoyable!
Renée Westerhout
Friendly staff, great service and very efficient. I also love that there is a waiting room that has the feel of a coffee shop to spend time in while you await the return of your car!
Robert Jeffers
Finding "your mechanic" might be one of the most important parts of living in any city. In Los Angeles, Santa Monica Motors is "IT" for me. For almost five years now I have been taking our cars and trucks (foreign and domestic) to SMM and with confidence I can say Don, Eloy, and the entire crew are THE BEST in the business. Why? Professionalism, workmanship, speed, understanding, flexibility, very fair pricing, and possibly most importantly and definitely most elusively when it comes to mechanics, trust. Simply put: want the best in auto service in Los Angeles (and any city I've lived for that matter)? Santa Monica Motors.
Anna Petlevaya
Awesome people. Don is great. They really take care of their clients. Customer service is their #1 priority. I left my wallet at the office, noone got upset at me...helped me at no charge!
Athena Alexander
Ive gone here two years in a row for my smog check! This place is fast and clean. The people who work there are kind, polite and gracious!
Arun Bharath
My wife and I were returning from the doc office when the little one goes ballistic. We decided to stop our car (2003 Mazda Protege 5) at some random street and lo and behold the battery dies. The AAA guys gives it a jump start and we head to our fav car mechanic shop - SM Motors......but it was past closing time and Don still allowed us in since we called in at around 4:50ish. On reaching there, for some reason, when started again, the car did fire up and Don gave us a couple of options - leave it there and get a ride or take it home and chance it. Since we had our LO with us, we decided to chance it and went home. 4 days later and on starting the car, it did fire up after initial hesitation but clearly something was wrong. Back at the shop, they find the battery had some internal shorting. They offered to replace the battery for free as it was under warranty period. The whole process was handled professionally and in a calm manner by Don. In the past, we dealt with Josh who was also equally professional and proficient. I am taking in our bimmer for oil change at much lower cost than the dealers. They do use Castrol 5W synthetic, the same as dealers. Why bother paying more? It is our go to place for all things auto related!
KosmoKat InPerson
I cannot over-emphasize my trust and gratitude for the guys at Santa Monica Motors (SMM). For the better part of a decade, SMM has handled jobs both big and small, from regular preventative maintenance to electronics, suspension, engine, and more electronics (Jeep owners will understand) on mine and my wife's vehicles.
Since a surgery a few years ago, I'm unable to do all the minor work on my Jeep that I used to do. I still do little things like replace bulbs and change my air filter. I used to hate taking my ride somewhere and being told I needed a new "whatever" that I had just changed the week before. At SMM, I have NEVER felt BS'ed or taken advantage of. If Don tells me I need something replaced, I know its time to replace it.
There have been times when he's told me that he'd feel more comfortable if he kept it one more day, even though he knows how bad I need it back. I respect that they want to make sure the job is done solid, not just "the best that could be done before you want it on Thursday".
You will be treated professionally and with respect. I've experienced it and I've witnessed it with other customers many times. It's kind-of cool to find that in this town.
I recommend Santa Monica Motors!!!!
Shotaro Nagai
Very professional. So fast. They konw what they are doing. Bob is excellent.
All of my family, 4 cars,
go there for 15 years.
Beth B
I’ve come here twice now and highly recommend. Pleasant experience, on time and efficient. And took measures to help customers feel comfortable with many Covid precautions.
Raw Insight
Smooth is an understatement. Greeted by happy people, I was in and out in less than 15 min. Didn’t even have time to finish the coffee I was offered!
drawingnikki
I got an oil change, and got the AAA discount!
There were suggested fixes they typed up with quotes, super clear, helpful and not pushy! Definitely coming back!
Betsy Currie
Don is who you want in your corner. He went beyond his job: he called me on his own time to follow up, he researched, he reached out to colleagues of his to find the most affordable way for me to fix my car, and he's a pleasure to work with. It's nice to know I have "my" mechanic on the westside. This job has won my loyalty for life.
Mary R
This is the second time I have had my smog certification at SM Motors. They are quick, efficient and their customer service is excellent.
Donald Tay
Quick, honest, professional, and hassle free certified SMOG check establishment. Bob was was very polite and helpful, and I will be coming back. Highly recommended!!
Steven Porter

Jamison Moore
Popped by for a smog check. They said it'd take 20 minutes and cost $71 dollars. It took 19 minutes and cost $71 dollars. I can't explain why, but I almost broke down in tears. No run around, no upsell, no, "Weeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllll the tech went to lunch and kiiiiiiinda took the keys." Just, "This is what we do. It is done." Great customer service shouldn't be so rare.
Upate: 2 years go by, I come back for another smog check. They said it'd take 20 minutes and cost $70. It took 15 and there's free WiFi.

Dropped off our Odyssey this am for Tire’s TPMS alert and a front headlight that was out. Within the hour, not only were the TPMS alert and headlight taken care of but the tech also noted a rear brake light was also out - DONE.!
When I asked about the brake light, I was told “.. it’s a minivan, likely have family... safety first, so we just took care of it..”
Now THAT’S Service... Thank You.
