Marina del Rey Auto Repair

I have a '70 Mustang and had tried multiple classic car repair places in the greater los angeles area and all of them disappointed in one way or another. At best they were overpriced, at worst, they saw a woman coming with a vintage car and tried to rip me off. Luckily I know enough about my car to look out for that. I was not sure what to do and then a friend of mine with a '72 Mustang recommended this place and they are the best mechanics I have ever been to. I have had a long standing relationship with them for 10 years now. Fernando is great as is everyone there and I can't believe it took me this long to give a review but I have not been on yelp in forever and just realized I never posted this. These guys are the real deal and very fair and honest. Every experience I have had with them has literally been a pleasure. Highly recommend to anyone who is in search of a mechanic and a place your car can call home.

Definitely as good as it gets. Am in SoCal visiting my daughter and family. Car would not start last night even though the engine would crank. Randomly gave Villa Marina a call based on their reviews. What a positive experience! Met with Fernando early this morning (yes, they were open at 7AM to noon on Saturday). What can I say. He was informative and you could tell as the manager there for 12 years that Fernando defines integrity when it comes to diagnosing car repairs. Also met Joe who defines how the place is run. Fernando found a simple fix to my problem that I had overlooked. Five stars and more. I only wish we had an automotive repair shop like Villa Marina in Silicon Valley. The only place to go when your car is out of warranty.

David, Fernando and of course Joe are exceptional! I've been coming here for over 20 years with various different autos and I have always been satisfied! These guys are like my family! They are knowledgeable, detailed, respectful, honest and friendly! You cannot go wrong here. And don't let their marina del Rey address doubt their fair prices.

I have been coming to Villa Marina for over 25 years... several cars, and love them. Joe and his team are awesome, fair, and always helpful. A true SERVICE shop and have sent many people to them -- never disappoints. So happy to still have them in my neighborhood.

Fernando and the entire staff really care about their customers. This place is highly recommended .

Been going here for years and always looked after us. I fully trust them and their super friendly. You may pay less elsewhere but you can trust them

I love this place. My car was towed here once because it's a Triple A vendor and I haven't gone anywhere else since. It's a place I might never have taken my car because it's out of a gas station but this place is the best.

Horrible! Do not go here. They totally took advantage when I brought my car in and asked for them to tell me if I needed anything done before a road trip. They changed my oil without me asking, and it had just recently been changed then expected me to pay for it. When I confronted them they were very rude and did not help what so ever. I felt so uncomfortable having to go in and pick my car up after the way they treated me on the phone. Do not go here.

These guys are fantastic!!! We arrived in LA for the Labor Day weekend and my water pump went out five minutes from our hotel. We lucked upon this place, and so glad we did. They diagnosed the problem within 30 minutes, hooked us up with a rental vehicle through a partner and had the work done one day early...even though it was a holiday weekend and they were closed Sunday and Monday. The owner, Joe, came in on Sunday to perform the work himself. If you need any auto repairs and want a reputable place to go...it doesn't get better than Villa Marina Auto Care.

love this place!
