Kondo Motors Automotive - Santa Monica (CA)

Wil D I’ve been bringing my Honda Ridgeline to High Tech Auto on Lincoln Blvd in Santa Monica for the past 3 years, and I can honestly say—they’ve kept my truck running like new even with nearly 200,000 miles on it! From alternator and battery replacements to brakes, rotors, oxygen sensors, stabilizers, mass air flow sensor, gaskets, mounts and more—they’ve handled every repair and maintenance issue with top-tier precision and speed. Every time I drive away, I feel like I’m in a brand-new vehicle without the new car price tag. Not only is their work solid, but they’re fast and flexible—I’ve never had to wait long, and they’ve even worked with me on payment plans, which made a huge difference. What stands out most is how much I trust them with my car, my time, and my money. That kind of confidence is hard to come by. I first found High Tech Auto through my brother, who’s extremely particular about his cars—especially his classic ‘93 Mustang. He was impressed with their work from the start, and now I understand why. Carlos, the owner, genuinely cares about the quality of service they provide, and Caesar, the manager, is an absolute gem. He treats every customer with respect and kindness, making sure you feel heard and taken care of. If you’re looking for an honest, skilled, and efficient auto shop with heart—High Tech Auto is it. This is an update just recently went back for my brakes and rotors and the owner took care of me and kept his word on doing an exceptional job. This will always be the shop I go to and recommend for everyone I know!

Elisabeth Baron I have brought both my BMW and Porsche to SM Autoworks for ~ 15 years. Brian, Brett and team work hard to ensure they communicate the issues and explain the solutions to repairs big and small. Pricing is fair and beats the dealer every time. I trust them implicitly and highly recommend their services.

Sophie Baillargeon They are so kind and helpful! They filled up my tires with air and helped me change my windshield wiper fluid. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes!! I will definitely be coming back

Dan Nabel 5+ years ago I took a chance on BVA rather than going to my local Lexus dealer, as I was accustomed to doing (the free, fresh cookies were nice) and I am so thankful that I did. Not only is BVA cheaper and faster, but you immediately get a feeling of 100% trust from these people. A small business with the same faces day in and day out. I now take my Honda Accord and Lexus RX 350 there for regular maintenance and all major repair work. Never once have I regretted it. I miss the fresh-made cookies from my Lexus dealership, but I absolutely love the people, prices and service at BVA and, again, I have TOTAL trust and confidence in them. Theres really no comparison.

Erick Fernando Medina Escobar The staff was friendly and explained all the work needed. They completed the repairs on time and within budget. My car drives like new, and I trust this shop completely. Highly recommended!

Leopoldo Guerrero Great place to get work done on your car. They are very thorough and go the extra mile to make sure your car is running properly.

Amanda Jamieson First time going to MBZ garage and it was a 10/10 experience. Fair price, great communication, great people! Got a new set of tires and am very pleased! An issue my new MBZ service center attendant tried to tell me I had a “critical” issue that needed to be replaced ASAP, the MBZ garage confirmed that was an exaggeration. Great help!!

Alejandro Becerra Came for vacation out of town got out of our vehicle smelled coolant, immediately knew we had to get the radiator fixed. Reached out to Lopez Auto Services they got us in and out in about 3 hours! Great people, awesome shop..very reliable highly recommend!!!

Julien Camaraza Fixed my BMW 430i for dramatically cheaper than every other place in town and did an incredible job. Everyone I spoke to was super kind and efficient.

Chloe Bakert Took my car in to get serviced, Ike was amazing! They were super friendly, gave me a great price for replacing my headlights. Always go to Gateway Auto Service for all your car needs!
