Santa Monica Radiator

I've been going to Chuck for years and was referred by one of my best friends who also has been going to Chuck for over 20 years. He keeps cars running like new and is the kindest, most honest (along with his dad and the rest of the team!) mechanic and person. If you want peace of mind in knowing your car is in good hands go to Santa Monica Radiator! more

Chuck, Hal and their mechanics are the best, most honest, honorable folks I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with! They have been taking care of my car for a few years now and have never steered me wrong, overcharged me, or made me pay for something I didn't need. If they can't fix something, they seem to know every other honorable mechanic in town! I'm having some catalytic converter issues and Chuck referred me to Major Muffler - another group of fantastic mechanics (specializing in exhaust issues). Every time I come in, I'm treated like family! Santa Monica Radiator is the best and I cannot possibly recommend them enough! Pros: Good prices, great service, honest mechanics! Cons: Not a single one! more

Wow! This business has been in Santa Monica since 1923. This was unlike any experience I have ever had with an auto repair shop. The owners Chuck and Harold are part of the family that originally started the business. \r \r When I called on the phone they were extremely friendly and offered to do a free inspection of my cooling system. My car had been overheating and when I went to the dealer and I was told that I needed a new radiator and some other parts which was going to cost over $900.00. \r \r After I brought the car into the shop (by the way, I was given a ride to my office), I received a call about an hour later saying that the a small hose was broken and the total repair would be $95.00. The repair was completed the same day and they even offered to give me a ride back to the shop. Two days after the work was done, they called to see how the car was running. I was overwelmed with their customer service.\r \r Check out the Italian Deli up the street. They make amazing sandwiches.\r \r The guys at Santa Monica Radiator are so awesome and so honest. Pros: Honest, Family Owned, Very friendly Cons: I travel a lot for work and wish they were located in other parts of the state more
