Santa Monica auto repair

I've always been wary of the knowledge imbalance between myself and mechanics -- I struggle to trust that they're not overcharging me or recommending unneeded repairs. But I trust Car Nerds 100 percent -- they explain what's going on (even sometimes offering to show me!) clearly and fully. I bring my car here for everything I need.

Always friendly and kind. Ronnie also shared helpful information about other vendors who could help me with my other car needs which Car Nerds doesn’t focus on. Great customer service!

I appreciate Rony’s professionalism - he communicates well and I consistently feel informed about the scope of the work to be performed and the reasons why. I am glad to have discovered CarNerds.

You did you what said you would do - on time and on budget

Excellent. Ronnie arranged time for my car so it was in and out. Prices are great. Nothing hidden. Car Nerds: one stop shop for all your car needs. Thx Ronnie

The service was satisfactory, efficient. I would recommend to anyone who needs an honest and knowledgeable car mechanic for repair, maintenance or check-up

Thorough, honest, good personal customer service.

What amazing service! Ronnie helped me out in giving advice on how to do a drive cycle to pass a smog check that was failed several times, and helped to test the monitors for no charge before I took it in for a smog again (and it passed!). The mechanics changed out brake lights on the spot for a small fee. Ronnie helped me change out my broken car key (which the dealer had said could not be fixed and would require a new reprogrammed key for a lot of money). He was super helpful, professional, and friendly. Highly recommend Car Nerds!

Thé guys at Car Nerds and their service is great. They’ve done some big jobs on my car and never disappoint and their rates are always good. So grateful to have them in my area!

Always great, friendly and trustworthy service! So glad I found you!
