Marina del Rey Auto Repair

Like others who've reviewed this place, I really like how straightforward these guys are. My wife and I both have really high-mileage cars that we're trying to keep alive as long as possible, so we go here a lot. A couple of times, we've had mysterious problems, and when they couldn't reproduce the problem, THEY DIDN'T CHARGE US. Not even the usual diagnostic fee. I've driven cheap, sometimes crappy cars all my life, so even though I still don't know anything about cars, I've been to a lot of mechanics, especially here in LA, and I've settled down with these guys because I trust 'em, and that's saying a lot when it comes to auto mechanics!

We have sent several people to the 76 station for emergency service. Each time they have been very helpful, done the work, and don't seem to be overcharging (I'm not a mechanic). I took in my 92 SC400 Lexus with over 200,000 miles. This was after I had 2 Lexus dealers service my car (Beverly Hills and Santa Monica). After spending a lot of money to get lots of "things fixed" in an old car (it has always run extremely well before they got it) my car began to die and run rough. After taking it back to Lexus about 6-7 times they were unable to find the problem. I finally got frustrated enought to take the car to the 76 station. In short order they found the problem ( I believe a throttle issue). Dan, my service guy, said he felt they could clear things up and I wouldn't need a new part. It was ready the same day and it has run like it always did before the dealers got ahold of it. Needless to say they will be servicing my car in the future. They would also get my newer lexus if it wasn't under warranty. By the way, we try to get our gas from them as their prices are resonable and they even have someone that will check under the hood at the self service pump. So far ALL GOOD

Car trouble makes me nervous. Not only because of the obvious, but because I'm a girl and I don't no nothin about cars. I get nervous that I'll get ripped off....not only money wise, but quality wise. When my car was not working recently, AAA towed it to this location. And shockingly, I was impressed! I got the feeling that they were looking out for me....which might be BS....but I didn't get that vibe. They fixed it in a jiffy, talked me though the process and even called the next week to check up on how it was running! So, when my car was having trouble again (in an un-related issue), I took it straight to this place. Once again they took care of me and even checked out some other stuff in my car. Yesterday I got a call again from them making sure things were good! For all I know, you might be able to find cheaper service, but it was reasonable to me....and they are nice. If you car breaks down....this is not a sketchy option.
