Marina del Rey Auto Repair

I have trusted all my cars to these folks and they are expert with many types of vehicles. Their pricing is fair and they explain everything really well. If you need work on your car, this is the place to go.

I got a flat tire and they were very accommodating! Everyone was welcoming and friendly to communicate with. On the phone and in person, I felt comfortable and knew that my car was going to be fixed. They even noticed that there were lights on, on my dash, and checked to make sure the system was working well. They went above and beyond. I would highly recommend!!

Excellant service and repairs and they called me every time they found something new that was wrong to tell me the added cost and to get my permission to fix it.

Today's oil change was uneventful - and, therefore, fantastic! Fernando met the old Mazda and me at 6:45, and he called to have me pick it up at 8:30. There were no dire warnings about shabby shocks or Fred-Flintstone brake shoes - just an oil change. At $65, it's higher than Gyppy Lube - but those guys once stripped the threads off the oil pan plug, which they then tried to blame on me...a new twist on screwing the customer. Since then, it's been Marina Union 76 for about four cars now, and enough miles for three round-trips to the moon.

Good service overall! I got a flat tire courtesy of a pothole on the 10 west (ramp to the 405 south). I got my car towed to Villa Marina Auto Care. Even though my car tire wasn't easy to find, the guys there managed to get it and get the car fixed in a day. The prices were reasonable and the service very professional. Highly recommended.

Fair, honest, professional, reasonable prices, and fantastic service. We met Joe when my Jeep battery died, and he replaced it and pointed out that AAA installed it wrong, and later fixed a faulty thermostat that was installed by another shop. They fixed an oil leak in my 2002 BMW that the dealer missed, and even diagnosed an engine warning light offsite on my RV, so I could travel to Florida. I can't say enough about the high level of service they provide, at fair prices. Joe and Fernando go the extra mile to take care of their customer's vehicle needs, and are super nice people as well!

I'd give Villa Marina 6 stars if I could! I've been bringing my cars here for 30 years, & they've kept me humming along all that time. Joe & his crew are unfailingly polite, personable, & never talk down to me about mechanical issues (as many male mechanics still do with female customers), which I totally appreciate. They've handled everything from major engine repairs to fixing a balky window & cranky door hinge. And they're great about giving me rides back & forth from the station when my car is in rehab there. I trust them completely, which is more than a lot of people say about car repairs. I drive a 17-year-old Acura Integra that I adore, & it started shaking furiously on the freeway a month ago. I immediately pulled off & called Joe, who owns the repair shop. Once I got to the station, Joe & his crew disassembled the engine & advised me that it might need to be rebuilt entirely. They tried the less expensive solution 1st, which partially solved the problem, but I wound up having them put in a rebuilt engine after all. The car now runs like silk again. It was pricey, but reasonable as big-ticket repairs go. 6 stars! Heck, 60!

My car was not clearing the smog test...I did all that I could but it still didn't help until I came to this place. I told Tim what all I had done and he immediately was able to figure out the issue. I had to drop my car over night but they fixed it next morning. And finally the smog test cleared!!! They even offered a free Smog test, I just had to pay about $10 for this. Would def recommend this place for any car related issues.

Fortunately, I haven't been here for several months. My car has been fine. But now I had a/c trouble, needed periodic service, oil change, etc. All done perfectly which is what expect from these guys. They are astoundingly thorough. They gave me a description of some things that will need attention soon. Good to know, not for today. But they also proposed to polish up my very cloudy headlights. I've seen it done at several places. I just trust Joe and Fernando so I said yes. THEY ARE BRILLIANTLY CLEAR. Absolutely like new headlights. Astounding. Best 100 bucks. NOT like what you get buying some kit from PepBoys. I could tell my headlights were on during the day. Before I couldn't tell the regular beams were on at night. Joe, Fernando, Dave. Perfect, as usual for years and years.

This place is great. I've been coming here for quite a few years now and service has always remained the same; on point! I drive for ride share services so I am constantly getting oil changes and maintenance done on my vehicle; and let me tell you, nobody gets it done better than the staff over at Villa Marina Auto Care! Thank you guys for continuously taking care of me and providing some of the best prices in town!
