Marina del Rey Auto Repair

Horrible experience! Their pricing is easily two times of any smog shop 1 mile away and they charge you regardless if they finish the smog on your car or not! If your car was not ready they consider it not pass and you pay the price even though you just need to drive the car few miles to be ready but they don’t accept you on same invoice you need to pay again!

My 5-year old car still runs like new thanks to Villa Marina.

Fernando was so amazing! Showed up this morning early to get my car smog tested, and he immediately asked me if I had AAA so I could get a small discount. I do, and told him I'm working on getting my car registered in California from out of state. He told me that if I took my car to the AAA office that they could do my paperwork there, and I would just have to go to the DMV to take the license test. Smog check was done perfectly, I got my discount, and Fernando gave me a print out to show me where the AAA was! I had no idea this was even an option, he went above and beyond and I was in and out with new registration in an hour!! Thank you so much for the tip Fernando, you saved me hours of time :)

These guys are very noble and honorable! I had a transmission issue with my car and instead of them trying to help themselves, they instead helped me. They advised me to try taking it to the dealership and have them look at it and share with them my unhappiness about my car with them since it's only a 2012 and done 90k miles and the transmission is already going out. Going this route was indeed the best for me and allowed me to pay just $900 instead of thousands of dollars. These guys are great and not out to take your money!

I took my car here to have a AAA inspection check and I was impressed. They were very thorough and didn't try to sell me anything but gave me recommendations for my 2009 BMW 328i. I replaced the tires and just went back for a battery, which they had recommended. I felt valued and appreciated by Fernando who is always pleasant and explains the work. They run a professional and clean shop and give any applicable discounts. My family are now customers of this establishment.

Joe was amazing and took care of my smog check right away! I was in and out and on my way in 20 minutes.

Amazing service fast and friendly. Very clean shop this is where I take my Porsche for all services. From Oil changes to major repairs this place can do it all.

I wanted to say that I have never experienced auto repair as I have over the past few years of Villa Marina Auto Care. Joe, Fernando and Chris have been amazing. I am a woman who knows nothing about cars and feel that they have protected me, treated me with the utmost respect and care! I totally trust whatever they tell me unlike other places where I've felt taken advantage of. They are the best! I cannot express my gratitude and how highly I recommend them!

Stereotypical misleading auto shop experience here. Went in for a basic service and they lied to me about needed more, way expensive job. Went to my hometown shop and the actual work was a fraction of the quote here. Avoid at all costs!

The white guy working there is a complete as*hole. I first call these guys asking if they would or even could repair my tire. Mind you I have a flat and there was a nail in my tire. Not the side of my tire but the middle of my tire. They said that they could. So I carefully try to go there and as soon as I arrive the guy comes to my car to check the tire. Without even looking at it for more than 5 seconds he said that there was nothing to be done and that I needed new tires. Well I'm clearly not an idiot so I leave I go to good year near Costco and they actually lift my car which the other guy didn't even do and tell me that it can be fixed within 5 mins. All so that they can make a quick buck these guys let me drive off with a flat tire which could have caused a lot of damage. Thank you guys for being the biggest pieces of horse manure in the world! Ps. Go suck a fat one
