I've been taking my (now 22-year-old) BMW 325i to Santa Monica Autoworks since I got it. Just had another stellar visit. Brian, Ozzie, Brett and the gang always take great care of the car (and me) and I can't give a stronger recommendation.

Santa Monica Autoworks is my go-to auto shop. Always do a great job, have reasonable prices, and do a great job explaining any problems. I would definitely suggest stopping by if you have any issues.
