“Santa Monica Motors has been my mechanic for many years. I have a 2006 vehicle and want it to last last long as possible, while being reliable. Whether it’s a regularly needed service or a let’s just make sure everything‘s OK with my car before I go on a road trip check, Santa Monica Motors continues to provide both great service to my car and great customer service to me. And on more than one occasion, what I ended up paying after the initial estimation was actually less.Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Everyone I dealt with was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I highly recommend this business for a large variety of car issues! I have recommended them to 2 friends who were also extremely happy with their service.”
“They are quick. Just give them a heads up and they are usually able to get you in and out. Quick tire patch and was out in less that 30mins. Thanks again New Sun Auto”
“I decided on this place because it was open and tires are reasonably priced. Ill be a return customer because Chris, went above and beyond to answer all my questions, give me reasonable alternatives and had my car ready by the time stated. I would definitely recommend to friends and family ✔️”

“I’ve been going to Stokes tires for years. They are a trustworthy member of our community . They fixed me up with two tires for my car rather than patching a tire, which would’ve left it dangerous. They can always be trusted.”
“I had a great experience at Byron Woodley Tire in Santa Monica.
I came in on a Tuesday around 2:00 PM because one of my tires kept losing air, and I thought it had a puncture. There was almost no wait. Gary took the time to inspect my tires and explained that instead of keep fixing it, it’s time to replace all four tires, and I knew my tires were at the end of their life.
What I really appreciated was his honesty. I had inquired about an advertised tire brand, but Gary recommended another brand that was about 30% less expensive. He explained that the performance difference was so small that it wasn’t worth paying the premium. It never felt like he was trying to upsell me—quite the opposite.
Gary and his team replaced all four tires in about 30 minutes. The entire process was quick, smooth, and hassle-free. Gary was knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating throughout the visit.
If you’re looking for an honest tire shop with efficient service and fair recommendations, I would definitely recommend Byron Woodley Tire.”
“Best place to get an oil change in Santa Monica, for real. I’ve gone to too many places to count around here as well as jiffy lubes and other oil change shops, and these guys offer a proper $99 rate, and check for other issues, but seem to care a little more. And the price literally can’t be beat, especially nowadays. I own a Volvo, and those take 5-6 quarts.
Will for sure come back for my next oil change.”
“Everyone here is very authentic, super friendly and helpful. Alfred even made sure to help me with a ride home after leaving my car overnight. Solid. Their work is legit, prices are reasonable, 100% recommend.”
“Pep Boys Santa Monica fixed my tire at an affordable price. The online scheduling system was easy to use. Their waiting room was nice: large TV, free coffee pods, seats at a long desk with multiple power outlets, etc. Employees kept me updated on progress.”
“I can’t recommend Morris Automotive enough. They exceeded every expectation and gave me a level of comfort, clarity and trust that I’ve honestly never experienced with a mechanic before.
I came to them for a second opinion after my dealership gave me an outrageous quote and made me feel like my car was on the verge of breaking down if I didn’t address a long list of issues ASAP. From the moment I brought my car to Morris, the experience was completely different. They immediately made me feel like I was in good hands.
They were fast, communicative, thorough and incredibly professional. They took the time to really inspect my car and then walked me through exactly what they found—what actually needed attention, what I should prioritize and, just as importantly, what I didn’t need to worry about. It turned out that most of what the dealership had told me was urgent simply wasn’t.
What stood out most was that I never felt like they were trying to sell me something. I felt like they were on my side. They gave me clear, practical recommendations, kept me updated throughout the process and charged me an incredibly fair price for the work.
Beyond all of that, the guys are genuinely kind and clearly take pride in what they do. Finding a mechanic you can truly trust is such a relief, and one visit was enough to make me a customer for life. Thank you, Morris Automotive!”
