Santa Monica auto repair

CarNerds service is excellent. They were very thorough with the inspection, assessing the needs, and scheduled the repairs so that I could drop it off and pick up on the same day. My car is running smoothly now, and will follow through on their recommendations. The cost was very reasonable, and I have confidence that the repairs and replacements were done very professionally, and I feel safe driving now. Thank you !

Thanks Matt, always quick professional service.

Car Nerds is absolutely in a league of its own. From the moment I walked in, I felt like my car was in the hands of true professionals who actually love what they do. The whole vibe is welcoming, clean, and organized a place where you immediately feel youll be treated right. What blew me away was their honesty. No pressure, no unnecessary add-ons, just straightforward communication. They took the time to explain what was going on with my car in plain English and gave me options instead of pushing the most expensive fix. That alone sets them apart from 99% of shops Ive been to. The quality of their work is outstanding. My car runs smoother than it has in years, and you can tell they pay attention to detail. Theyre quick, professional, and you get the sense that they take real pride in doing things the right way. On top of that, the customer service is unreal friendly updates, a comfortable waiting area, and just an overall sense that they value your time. It feels less like dropping your car off at a shop and more like having a trusted team looking out for you. Bottom line: If youre tired of the usual run-around and just want a shop that delivers excellence, trust Car Nerds. I honestly wouldnt take my car anywhere else.

Great place! Honest, fair and good service! Glad I found the Nerds.

This was a new mechanic for me. I needed someone to diagnose my Toyota Prius with a dash light problem. Matt, who answered the phone suggested to stop by the next day and he'd run an error code machine to check it. No charge involved. He told me he didn't see anything, however, he then checked the oil and there was very little oil in the engine, (shockingly, because I've never had that happen taking such good care with timely oil changes). He said he thought that might have caused the problem and poured in the oil. I met the owner Rony and thought the experience was so great, I've decided to use them as regular mechanic for future work. This place is hopping busy, and regular maintenance visits require an appointment. Matt is terrific and will probably find a way to help in emergencies. Their hours are mainly M to F 8 to 5, Sat 8 to 12. CHECK OUT CAR NERDS IN SANTA MONICA. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! I paid for the oil.

Resolved and repaired issues with the Jeep I brought in a timely and cost effective manner. Very professional in all dealings. Will definitely use them for future repairs on any of my cars.

Have not actually operated vehicle at this point but the diagnosis and repair agreed with online experiences and the work, though seemingly complex, was done promptly at at a reasonable cost compared with online expectations.

I brought my car here twice and each time, they were really upfront and honest about the work (it was an old car). Fixing a car will always be expensive, but I do think they are reasonable about their pricing. I would definitely recommend them!

Easy and fast

Very thorough in diagnosing my problem and finding an easy fix for what I thought would be an expensive repair. Definitely trust them to do great work at a fair price. This has become my go-to for auto repair.
