Marina del Rey Auto Repair

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.

Incredibly overpriced. Dropped my car off because the AC wasnt working. Charged $97 to tell me it was the AC relay clutch and said it would cost $399 to fix it. I took it to W M Auto Service up the road and they fixed the exact same issue for $45!! No diagnostic fee or anything. Definitely not going here again.

Really clean environment. Restrooms were very clean usually gas station bathrooms are disgusting I never go to the bathrooms but I couldnt not wait after a large iced tea lol. Glad I stopped here because people are really nice too. They also put the gas for you which is cool cause we had luggage in the back so it makes it safer while I used the restroom .

Pretty shitty. I pulled in and one of the workers immediately came over to provide service which was good. However, he became pushy because I was trying to finish something on my phone. He eventually told me to leave and claimed that I was making him lose business. I am assuming he meant that I was taking up a spot. I'm not sure how that's even possible since when I looked around all the pumps were empty...super rude worker. I will never purchase gas from this station. Disappointing. If I could give zero stars, I would.

I was told by a mechanic in a neighboring city that we needed a ball-joint repair & that there was only 20% left on our rear brakes--both serious safety issues. Since I felt I had reason to not believe him-- due to spending over $2500 on what seemed to be questionable"repairs" in 7 months-- I wanted a second opinion. My next-door neighbor said she's been taking her car(s) to this 76 Station for over 20 years & trusted them implicitly. Because I will have to frequently drive 200+ miles to visit a very ill friend in the next month, I wanted to find out if these problems existed in the first place and how advanced each problem was. Villa Marina 76 told me neither problem existed! The first mechanic's estimate for the ball joint and brake repair was $900-1000. The total 76 Station "inspection" charge? $43.23! I could have been taken for another "ride" by a dishonest mechanic, but happily that wasn't the case. In addition to the honesty I experienced today, I also was glad to see that the shop was clean & orderly. Everyone was friendly & polite despite the fact that the yard behind the station was full of cars & cars were up on the lifts. Imagine actually being treated like a valued customer in a calm manner instead of feeling like you're adding more to their already stressed day! Fernando is terrific and Dave, who gave me a ride home after dropping off my car, was also really nice. Since I didn't have repairs done, I don't know how their repair prices compare to other shops, but I'll trust my neighbor who said she'd always felt they were fair price-wise. I believe in "a fair day's pay for a fair day's work" and I think that's what everyone will get at this 76 station.
