George and the guys are always reliable, trustworthy and honest. Great mechanic option on the west side.

I am a father who lives in Chicago who has a 25year-old daughter who goes to school in the Los Angeles area. She has a 2018 Hyundai ELANTRA that she brought in yesterday to get the brakes looked at based on a perceived brake issue. The members at Santa Monica Brake evaluated the situation and determined that, although there was a slight issue, no brake work would need to be performed for approximately 10,000 miles. I have heard about the honesty and integrity of Santa Monica Brake but I witnessed it through my daughter first hand when she picked up the car yesterday afternoon, no fee for the diagnosis !! Needless to say, my daughter will be back in 10,000 miles.

I have been taking my modded Mustang to the wonderful George and his son for over 5 years now and they have dealt with every issue (and there have been many, from major bodywork repairs and servicing to engine overhauls in preparation for cross-country road trips) quickly, efficiently and always fairly priced.George is the kind of honest tradesmen your parents used to tell you about that rarely exist any more in the modern world; kind, informative, efficient and fair.I wouldn't take my pride and joy anywhere else.Cheers George and the crew from Graham Green Mustang.

Fantastic work. Referred to me by Stokes Tires (also good people) and they did not disappoint. Fairly priced, kind, I live in Hollywood but I ll be taking my car here until the end of time :)

George and Junior are the best. They work quickly, their prices are amazing, and they're exceedingly honest. When my old car required over $2600 in repairs (more than it was worth), they didn't even charge me for the diagnostic. Good people. Great shop.

The best service; expert and reliable! George Senior and his employees diagnosed problems with my car that other businesses neglected to address or didn't discover. I'm glad my car is in their care right now because I totally trust them!

Our family has been taking all of our vehicles to George and his Team (over the years: BMW, Acura, Toyota, Mercury Comet, Volvo and Mercedes Benz) and we have gotten terrific service without exception. I send all my friends his way, especially people who are new in town. He is the best, and runs a trustworthy business! How many auto repair garages can you rave about, like this? Rare indeed!!!

My husband introduced me to the owner, George: he is honest and guarantees a job well done. Nowhere else do I take my car but to Santa Monica Brakes. HIGHLY recommended.

Best mechanics I've ever been to in any city anywhere. They are thorough, honest, and consistent. They've been trusted by and served my family for 25 years, and counting!

Fast and honest. Came in for something that I thought was going to be a major repair and take all day. They immediately spotted the problem. Handled it in under 15 mins. And with a low fair cost I wasn t expecting. Will be coming back!Service: BrakesService: Brakes

Honest folks here. I brought my loud squeaky-brakes car in thinking I needed new pads and probably rotors. A gentleman there took a quick look and said I had a good amount of pads left and that it was squeaking due to rust and pointed out some spots. I had indeed not been driving the vehicle much over the last year, so this made sense. They could have done a several hundred dollar brake job and I'd have been none the wiser. Will be bringing them all my business in the future when I actually need it.

Great service and support at a good price. The owner once took a part off of one of his personal cars so I could have a functional car for a trip. They ordered the part and we swapped it out the next week. A+

My dad and George go back 40 years and i can't complain...George always goes the extra mile and willing to please you...if you had a problem with George then you most likely brought him a junker because he is very good at what he does

I don't know why, but when I get there he just tell me "I'm closed" at 1pm on Thursday. I see he was working. But is ok sometimes the people don't like you just 4 your face and your color. I feel better now. At firestone they are really professional's and they help me with my brakes and a nice smile.

George is awesome. Does great work for a good price, stands by his work, and does not try to get you to do a bunch of stuff that is not necessary.
