Santa Monica Auto Repair

I would highly recommend 26th St Auto for any service needs your car may have. Robert and his team truly went above and beyond taking care of a cracked rim and slow leak in my tire. They fixed the issue the same day and it cost me half of what a competitor was charging. Great service!!

I drive all electric, but I still need help with tires. Alberto convinced me he could repair my new low profile tire quickly (nail), and he pointed out another tire with a bulge on the side, and suggested it might be covered by warranty. Great service!

Updating my review after my recent visit because I really feel the service here is stellar. My car suddenly developed a high idle problem bad enough that I felt I should stop driving it, and I dropped it off without having made an appointment on a Monday. I happened to catch the shop on a week where they were backed up due to the senior technician having been on vacation the week before. It was going to be a few days before they could start the work (I asked for a major tuneup in addition to troubleshooting the idle), but Richard very courteously checked me in, and let me leave the car rather than having to make another trip back later in the week to drop it off. Robert, the service adviser, was the one who found the idle problem, and he called me to explain it. When I got my car back, it was running great. It is not easy to get parts for / work on my car, and many repair shops would probably turn me away or get it wrong. I'm very grateful to the team at 26th Street Auto for being so competent and kind.

Had an oil leak pop up while driving. Went to this place to get some oil because the oil light in my car came on. Unfortunately, the power in the neighborhood was out and they couldn't accept cards. I thought I was going to be in a major jam since it was rush hour and i was basically driving without oil in my car. Thankfully, one of the guys working there offered to check my oil and then put 2 quarts in the car free of charge. They got me out of a bind and did it for free. I'll be forever thankful of them for that.

I contacted them to get tires replaced for my client's Audi. Robert went above and beyond to make things happen for me and it was so appreciated!! I was happy and so was my client!! Thanks Robert for making the whole transaction so smooth!!

I had a full interior/exterior detailing as well as headlight restoration performed. Not only do the headlights look brand new, but it makes my car actually feel like it was just driven off the lot. I had a lot of stains inside and the deep clean got rid of them all. The outside feels great too. I'd definitely recommend Robert and Clemente for your detailing needs. Thanks!

I am a single mother and my son drives a 14 year old car that has kept running ONLY because of Robert, Alberto, Stalin and all the guys. They find old parts for me. They put in hoses and don't charge. I show up at the last minute with a problem that has to be handled immediately, and they take care of it. I love this place. It is an old fashioned service station with old fashioned values. Unusual in this overly entitled city. I am grateful for these guys.

I have a 2008 Range Rover and when I took to get it looked at by Robert and the crew, I must say I felt like I was back at home in Michigan (good people, honest approach). They were awesome. I'm not the most auto savvy guy out there and broke down things simply and gave me options on how to solve my electrical issues. We didn't 100% solve everything but if I have any future issues I will certainly come back to them! Thanks again, highly recommend you seeing them!

I have been coming to 26th Street Auto for over 3 years now and have always been completely satisfied with the services provided. The whole staff is very knowledgeable and honest about work needed. From auto detailing to mechanical work they handle it all. I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a great experience with a shop.
