Transmission Repair in Santa Monica, CA

“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!”

“I have been living in Santa Monica for 14yrs. I recently purchased a Mercedes that would only start with a jump start. The seller told me I needed to change the auxiliary battery which I bought and took to E and E Automotive. Ed the owner of 26 yrs immediately told me I needed a new main battery, but as I requested he change the auxiliary battery for me as we conversed. The new auxiliary battery did not fix the problem and Ed only charged me a reasonable $40. Ed also suggested a few issues the car may have just by listening to the engine. I went to O’Reilly bought a new battery and sure enough the car starts and runs perfectly. Anyone who needs an honest mechanic who really knows about cars I highly recommend you give Ed a call.

“Darwin was so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I’d been told in the past that I needed a new alternator, and he showed me the trick of flashing the lights which is the best gauge and saved me a ton of money. Would highly recommend his service - extremely thorough and thoughtful”

“Mario and Basilio are awesome dudes. Hardworking, friendly, and completely fair. It is not everyday that you can support a small family business and know that the people you leave your keys with are going to be the ones doing all of the work themselves. Lucky to be able to have a business like that in the neighborhood. Have taken my cars to them for years and always felt like I was in great hands. Could not recommend enough.”
