Marina del Rey Auto Repair

Superb service! High quality, attention to detail, and fast. I came in to Villa Marina for maintenance and a check up for 50,000 miles. These guys are honest with what is needed immediately and what is not, it helped that they were black and white and they did not heckle me for excess services like other mechanics and the dealership. The wait was less than a day for a full inspection, my new tires and new battery. He let me know where I was and what would be smart to do during my next service to prevent bigger repair costs in the future. I was super excited to hear my belts were checked and in what condition. Really helpful when you don't know what you're looking for. New filters were put in and I took my car home. Will be coming for my oil changes here also. I'm in the Long Beach area so, I really liked my service.

I am always confident taking my car to be serviced here as they are very honest, thorough and efficient. Caryl

Update, 6/17/17: The staff changes, but they remain very helpful and informative. Today, Joe used some fine detective work to identify the cause of a shimmy in the tires. They usually get to my car pretty quickly after they receive it in the garage. I have done some price shopping and the prices are comparative with other providers in this area. Joe told me he "loves his job" and was super helpful today.

Had a great experience here but need to reach Joe or Fernando and the number listed is not being answered after many tries. Would anyone have their cell numbers? Please text me at 347 886 0015 or if you're a regular, might you be so kind as to give them my number? I hope this works!! Many thanks and peace. Andrew

Great group of professionals that go the extra mile to make sure whatever issue you came in with is resolved to your full satisfaction. They tell you the cost before proceeding, explain items completely, and prompt with their work. I will return to this garage in the future.

This is not your ordinary gas station. Staff is always smiling. Service is honest, caring and takes pride in their work. I've taken my car to them several times and they have been nothing but accommodating. Fernando spoke to me like my car was his car.

I don't understand the poor reviews. Joe and Fernando are super friendly and knowledgeable they took great care of my car. I didn't feel that I was forced to any extra service other than simple recommendation which by the way I verified and I was recommended in the past from others too. I think they are professional and great. Lot more reasonable than most mechanics in this area. Highly recommended.

Alert! Alert! Attention everyone! Listen! This gas station has FULL-SERVICE available. Do you know what that means? That means when you come to this gas station, you essentially teleport back to 1950's America, without all the racism and bad haircuts! They pump your gas, clean your windows, and take care of you in every single possible way! I've been driving for over seven years now, and I've never experienced this before. I couldn't even process what was happening. The two gentlemen who rushed to my service were like angels from heaven. So kind, so sweet, so resourceful, so quick! The only problem was that I didn't know if I should tip them or not. I hope they didn't think I was a jerk. Anyway. Get your ass down here today!

I love the service!! From the pump to getting my oil changed the gentlemen at the 76 here are all smiles, welcoming, and genuine! Came here in serious need of some gas ( was really testing my limits on "E" lol ) I accidentally pulled into the "full-service" side of the gas station and it was such a delight!! I've only experienced this on the east coast! Alfonso was polite, helpful, and charming. We got to chat while he was cleaning my windows and another gentleman.. who's name I didn't catch :( .. checked my tire pressure. I felt like royalty coming here!! Fernando was just as wonderful and took my car in right away! I had to rush over to the coffee shop next door to write this review! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this spot! These guys are total studs and deserve ALL the kudos! I'll be back B-)

Broke an axle at 10pm tuesday evening, called AAA and had my car towed to Marina 76. I was contacted at 8am sharp and asked a few questions about what had happened. I was asked if I consented to a $45 inspection fee, to which I agreed. I was called back within the hour and given an estimate. Two hours later I got the call that I was ready to roll, and much to my delight the whole job came in slightly under budget. It takes a long time to develop an opinion on a garage and I will update this review as I see fit in the future. For the time being Villa Marina 76 has my full recommendation.
