Santa Monica auto repair

It is always a pleasure to do business with Car Nerds.

I came to Car Nerds because of the consumer ratings. I figured nobody has that many friends to boost their yelp scores unless they were doing something right. Being a Prius newbee I felt that I needed to take it to a shop that handled a lot of Prius'. The issue I came for was to get my Prius keys programming and they took care of me quickly and courteously. I also remembered that i had a ventilation issue which they got to in a matter of minutes. The pricing was very reasonable. I am pleased to have found such a pleasant, honest, professional and accomidating shop. Now that I have my good honest mechanic(s), I can relax and enjoy being a Prius owner.

Wonderful service as always!

Very happy with the service. Even though my car was there for a few days, I appreciate the work that was done on it and refer people all the time to your shop!

These guys are awesome! I brought my car in without an appointment and it needed a lot of work. They got it all done same day, gave me a discount and my car is running great! Take your car here!

Excellent service.

Fast, professional and always super honest!

Great job as always, got me taken care of and on my way right away.

LOVE! My new go-to source. I wrote you a raving Yelp Review to help others find you. Such a relief to no longer need to be snowed by the sleazy dealership service dept.

So happy I found these guys. I took my car into the Toyota dealership for an oil change and they came back with over $1,000 of repair needs. I got suspicious when they told me I needed new wiper blades because I had just replaced mine on my own so I knew they were BS'ing me. I looked on Yelp, found Car Nerds and gave them a call. Turns out the owner used to be the manager at Toyota Service and left to start a respectable operation. Not only did they give me the straight story on everything, but they were professional, offered me a ride back to my house, did a great job on my car, used Toyota parts (for half the price) and all in all, gave me KILLER SERVICE. Both Rony in the front office and Juan, the service manager, took the time to help me understand every detail about my repairs. LOVE these guys. Feel so relieved to have them as a resource so I can stop being snowed by the Toyota dealer.
