Matt and his team at Car Nerds Santa Monica provide the best service at the best prices! I brought my 2010 Prius in for a brake sensor issue, and they ordered a new part and repaired it within 24 hours. Can't guarantee that timeframe every time, of course, but they were fast! Their pricing was fair, and they even called me to confirm if they could use another needed part that would be $50 more - I appreciated them calling me about a number this small (for car issues, that is). They truly care about their customers!

Was having an issue with my truck bed latch. Initial dealer estimate I was quoted was $850. I came to Car Nerds for a second opinion. They told me to come through and ten minutes later, the issue of a loose screw was identified and resolved. Finding an honest place such as this is rare. I will definitely be coming here for all of my future maintenance needs.

Just brought my car in for zero headlights thinking it’s a blown fuse, nope, the bulb just went out at the same time. Got my oil change and tire rotation while I was here. Everything turned out perfectly and when I brought my car back because it was wobbly, Matt didn’t laugh at me or dismiss my concern. He was nice enough to drive my car around the block and let me know it was my tire rotation! Will be back next time for another car service! Thank you for all of your help!

Had a fantastic experience at Car Nerds (worked with Matt). I called multiple bodyshops and auto shops and no-one was able to assist with what I needed. I had a broken sunroof button that was making it so I was unable to close my sunroof all the way. I was able to come in same day for them to look at the car, and they called me within hours with a solution. They even found a used car part that was less than half the price I was quoted from the dealership. They completed the work in under two hours. Would certainly go back for any future needs, and highly recommend them!

We’ve all had oil changes or auto repair of some sort. However, Car Nerds is a completely different experience! We’ve all sat in the oily, dirty side hall of a jiffy Lube, or auto dealer. Well, not here! At Car Nerds, its auto repair/body repair meets 90’s arcade. What I like about Car Nerds is, it really is like stepping back into the 90’s, being treated like an important customer, given your choice of posh beverage, check out the nostalgic memorabilia, play a game or chat with the staff. Relax in one of the gaming chairs or Jeep couches and enjoy an obscure carbonated beverage, or matcha drink. But best of all… are the PRICES!! Each price is made individually based on each customers needs! Not a cookie cutter price sheet given by a corporation set before you arrive! This is a long review because I’ve been well cared for there and blown away that the prices beat ALL of the COMPETITORS! Even Jiffy Lube! Not just $10, but a third! My point… I’ve found my car and motorcycle repair shop HOME! And I’m staying! WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAR NERDS 🎊
