Marina del Rey Auto Repair

I am an older lady and they saw me coming! I was talked (rather scared) into unnecessary purchases and equipment for my 32K miles car. I had been going to the dealer in Culver City but thought to start a relationship with someone in my home town to make my life easier. I thought it was fishy, but I just paid (almost $1800) without a word and vowed not to go back. (I found out later that I did not need the work done and the new equipment.) I thought about reporting this, but the lingo is Greek to me, and I wouldn't be able to make my point without getting other people involved. But my main problem is the way I was treated. When I got home, I noticed two things. The fob to let me into my building that was hanging from the wiper arm was missing. I called to simply ask that they look on the ground where my car was parked. I even had said that since I am barely 5'2", whatever man who had gotten in may have pulled it off with his much larger leg. I said that I knew that they were busy, but could they please call me back after they had looked. Not too much later, I received a call from Joe, the owner. His exact words to me were, "I hear that you think we stole something from you". I was flabbergasted! That was not even close to being on my mind. What a horrible thing to say and think! Later I found it thrown into my back seat. The second thing was that I had filled my tank immediately before giving them my car. It had 3/4 tank when I got it back. That was as plain as the crooked noses on their faces. I learned a valuable lesson: always document with a picture. This is one slimy place. BEWARE!!

Again excellent service by Dave, Fernando and Joe. Much better service and care for my car than going any where else. Definitely saving money over here than with the dealer. Will always be back again.

My car was in desperate need of brake fluid. My stress was admittedly minimize when I called Villa Marina Auto Care. I work in the area and decided to go on my lunch break. The customer service was amazingly out of this world! Everyone was so nice, helpful, and attentive. My brake fluid was topped off right away, and since that was done so quickly I decided to go get my right blinker replaced as well. They got me in and out of there with time to spare. Thanks again guys! I highly recommend them and I will be coming back.

My car had a flat tire, and this was the nearest full service gas station. The folks here were very courteous and generous in helping me in my moment of distress. Super quick! I highly recommend them.

We were visiting relatives in the area and had car trouble. We found Miravilla Auto Center on Yelp. We have never met a more honest group of employees; everyone was courteous, helpful and got us going in a timely manner. We would not hesitate to highly recommend this shop for any of your service needs. We found out through reviews that the filling station located on the same property is a separate business and this review is only for Miravilla Auto Center. We did not purchase fuel.

It is very rare that you walk out of a garage and you feel they know what they are doing and they are not about emptying your bank account. That how I felt last time i been using this place a few month ago, and a few days ago. The family own business is well orchestrated and a pleasant to work with but, as i said, the most important thing is THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING

This was such a disappointment. I made an appointment for a full service 10 days ahead of time. I arrived on the appointed dayat 8:45 AM. When I called at 2:30 PM they had still not even examined my car much less done any work on it. By 4:30'they had done an oil change and identified two things that needed to be fixed. They did not check a possible dead brake light the way I requested. I told him I was disappointed they did not get more work done on my car and they seemed very unconcerned. Just said they were very busy that day. I also think the quotes were much higher than other service places. I will not be back again. I am writing this a few days later. Went to Kondo motors and got the front brakes replaced for $190 instead of the $303 that Villa Marina quoted me. Friendly service too. I won't be back to villa marina!

Most of the guys here are amazing and helpful... even if you don't use full service every time. Clean spot easy to maneuver in their lot, and they have lottery and a nice selection of snacks.

I've never had better customer care and service in my life!!!( especially at a auto shop) Joe and his son Tim we're so kind in helping me find out about our Smog diagnostics with there amazing new machine and because they couldn't do A "Star" certificate Smog on my car they looked up the one closest and referred me to K&K Smog (who was great too)... on top of all of this awesome customer service they didn't even charge me for the diagnostic check!!! I am so refreshed by there family's excellent level of professionalism and customer service!!! I will always bring all my families cars to Joe and Tim!!! You guys Rock!!!

I highly recommend this place for anything wrong with your car, my car had a steering issue, it was very hard to steer, made one heck of a noise, and there was an oil leak under the car. They checked it out and told me that they could fix it today or they could fix it tomorrow depending on what I wanna do, of course they fixed it immediately (couple hours) and all that steering problem was gone like magic! And the price wasn't too bad. The bottom line is that these guys are professionals, respectful, friendly, efficient and they get the job done perfectly
