Santa Monica auto repair

I'll admit it, I was skeptical at all the good reviews.....but first hand, this place is WOW FACTOR awesome. I got in and out so fast with my Honda Fit, and for the lowest price on a new battery (pepboys was fifty percent higher, Firestone was DOUBLE smh.) But it wasn't like you then gotta sacrifice quality customer service for the discount...While I waited I overheard one employee on the phone with a customer carefully and respectfully explaining what had been done to their car and taking WITH (not at) the customer about the findings. So refreshing. They were done a few minutes after I sat down. I'm literally going here for everything auto related from now on.

Professional, responsive, involved. They were ready for my appointment, got me in and out fast. This was a pretty cool experience.

I just had another oil change done with Car Nerds,very fast service and fair pricing,as always.

Always great service at Car Nerds. They care about time and cost and have the clients best interest in hand.

This team is tight and efficient.

Truly great service!! Got my Toyota prius maintenanced here after finding them on yelp. The owner is very friendly and answered all my questions. He was helpful in letting me know what I needed for my car and didn't try to sell me things like dealership would.The service was fast and getting an appointment was easy. I would highly recommend coming here and there are stores and a Starbucks nearby if you want to wait for your car. There is also a student discount too!

Excellent service, great price. Awesome shop!

These are the best and most honest car mechanics ever. I've taken two cars here for awhile, and they've always done a great job, very promptly, and at a reasonable price. As an example, I recently brought in my Acura which had a problem with the air conditioning system. I had assumed that this was going to be a big and expensive problem. As it turned out, the problem was simply that a leaf had blown into the system, and they removed the leaf and everything is fine. There was no charge for this. Another mechanic would have charged hundreds of dollars for an air conditioning overhaul. I cannot recommend Car Nerds more highly.

I LOVE CarNerds! Awesome, trustworthy mechanics are hard to find. Luckily I have CarNerds and they have been fair on pricing and honest every time over the years on my Toyota Camry, my sons Corolla and my husbands F-150 Harley Davis Truck. They are worth the drive and time from South Redondo Beach. Try them and you too will be a loyal customer and friend. Judy P

First visit: So far, so good! No hard sell for discovered leak. More affordable than MDR dealer for same service. Loved the no add-on charge for synthetic oil, like with MDR dealer. Will schedule a second visit for a needed repair.
