Santa Monica and Redondo Beach auto repair

The AC on my hybrid Toyota Highlander was not working even after taking it to other mechanics, so I brought it to Car Nerds (my wife Yelped them and saw the great reviews). Rony, the owner, saw how frustrated I was and after speaking with him, I felt very reassured that he would fix the problem. He thoroughly researched the issue and was able to diagnose the problem - the previous mechanic had installed the wrong part not meant for a hybrid and it was also improperly installed. Rony fixed it and the AC is now running great and I'm so grateful because of the hot weather we've been having. And the price he charged was very affordable considering the amount of work he put into it. Car Nerds is a rare find and I attribute its stellar service to Rony and his team, including Liz in the office who is always friendly and helpful. Thankfully I no longer need to look for another mechanic - I've found the best!

I took my car to get serviced at Car Nerds and they did an amazing job. I had a critter break into my car and chew up my upholstery and live in my air cable filter. Car Nerds dismantled my dash and cleaned out the A/C vents and detailed the interior. There was some minor issues when I received the car back, but Car Nerds took care of it immediately and made it right. I will be doing business with them again. Great job!

Honest, simple mechanic shop. Will be going here for the rest of my car maintenance and repairs.

They did a great job on my tune-up; the car runs smoothly, and I am very satisfied with their work.

Honest, efficient, judicious with costs, and very professional. No unnecessary upsell. I feel so lucky to have found Car Nerds. Car is purring.

Timely and well priced! Very happy with my experience. Planning to continue working with them for all my car maintenance

What a great find a shop that does everything the first time quickly efficiently and you dont need a second mortgage to use them. I went there. They diagnosed my problem. They set an appointment. They fixed it within the timeframe they said, and the charge was very reasonable my second time visiting them it will not be my last. They are now my go to shop.

Car Nerds are honest, reliable, and reasonable. They help us maintain both personal and work vehicles, and are always accommodating and transparent. Highly recommended!

Car Nerds in Santa Monica did an incredible job diagnosing and fixing a frustrating electrical issue on my 2020 Audi Q3. What started as a windshield wiper malfunction turned out to be rodent damage to the wiring harness, which can be really tricky to fully track down. The team kept digging even after an initial wire repair didn't fully solve it, methodically working through the electrical system until they resolved the problem. What impressed me most was their honesty on pricing. The initial estimate ended up being far below the actual amount of diagnostic work and labor required, but they still honored that original quote. That kind of integrity is hard to find in an auto repair shop / mechanic. I will continue going for my car service and future car repairs and highly recommend them.

Thankful they could fit me in very last minute. They also have a good deal with a car rental company that will come and pick you up if you need to leave your car overnight. Very happy with the service.
