Santa Monica auto repair

This place is great! They are super friendly and know what they are talking about! I had such a great experience here with my 2009 Honda Civic, after having a horrible experience at the culver city Honda dealership. They are very accommodating and very honest at car nerds. They even took the time to show me what was actually going on with my car. I will definitely be bringing my car back here.

I just love this place. Straightforward, no nonsense, honest. Highly recommend!

Fair pricing and great service.

OMG I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! You just have to go! I was literally in the parking lot of Toyota getting ready to spend $399 on my 30,000 check up. For some reason I YELPED Toyota Service and this place came up! All 5 Star reviews! I thought ... is this too good to be true? NOPE it isn't It is ALL TRUE! I called Rony - we spoke and he ENLIGHTENED me on what exactly happens in a 30,000.... NOT to mention is used to be the manager of Toyota Service SM. I got my 30,000 AND new breaks for UNDER $300! OMG it was amazing! AND you don't have to have a Toyota either! JUST GO HERE!!! I won't ever go anywhere else again for my car!

CarNerds was able to diagnose the issue and fix my car same day. There was no upselling or trying to get me to replace things that didn't need it. Very nice guys. Great experience!

Awesome as always!!

I found these guys by accident and they turned out to be amazing! My window would not roll up, they diagnosed the problem and did a quick fix. They ended up not charging me and told what the problem was and what I may need to do in the future to permanently fix it. They were so nice, quick and efficient. I will be going back to them for an air conditioning installment for my car next month. I dealt with Rony specifically today, but everyone there was pleasant and helpful. Thanks again guys!!!

As always Rony and his team of mechanical wizards at CarNerds performed their artistry on my '07 Prius. The thing runs like a top and I owe to these fine fellows. Big huge Attaboys across the board. Thanks guys!

Place is doing great and getting busier and busier, so may have to go to appointments for when a car is put in and can come out. Love Rony and Martin and do the best they can, but should know if having less staff or what situation is to maximize time for car in and out and give you the best price. Car Nerds is a great place to avoid using the dealer.

I needed my 2007 Prius' water pump replaced. Dealer wanted over $500. Found Car Nerds on Yelp. Pros: Rony, Martin, and staff are accessible and pleasant; ex-Toyota technicians - know their hybrids; estimate for time and cost were dead on - no extras for fluids, belts, all those little costs that add up - verbal estimate is what it cost. Cons: none. Highly Recommend!!
