Company Description

Car Nerds is the brainchild of a 15 year industry veteran who was tired of the traditional way dealerships and independent shops do business, recklessly upselling services in the name of bottom line profits.

Great guys! Honest! Took my BMW 528i and checked it out. Kindly let me know car was beyond repair and didn’t charge me. Highly recommend Car Nerds!

These are the most trustworthy mechanics I've had in my 20-plus years of owning a vehicle--and I'm extremely discerning (even more than I am with dentists). I live in Hollywood but travel to Santa Monica (and take a Lyft back if I leave my car overnight) just for their excellent service and affordable prices. My understanding is that they were started by a former Toyota dealership mechanic who found the dealership to be overcharging, so he decided to start his own place where he could offer specialized knowledge for reasonable prices. I currently own a Prius, but I'd bring any make of car here. One of the things I most appreciate is that they will talk to you about which repairs need to be done urgently - or are necessary for long-term health of the vehicle - and those that you can get by without addressing if your car is older and you simply cannot afford to fix every minor issue that inevitably ails an aging vehicle. That earns my trust. The last time I was there, they threw in wiper blades for free, given that I'd hair a fair number of repairs done. But this isn't a place where you need to bargain for freebies or lower prices (which I've done pretty much everything other place I've taken my car) - the prices they give you are incredibly fair and you will come away with your money's worth. Just don't miss the turn into the lot - if you think you're seeing it, you are.

Gil is a very nice guy, knowledgeable and professional. He took care of my bmw 328i very nicely. Excellent work done for my 100,000 mile maintenance. Also fixed my leaking oil housing gasket. Definitely recommend for BMW owners.

Have had great experiences here. Recently, Gil really helped me out and made sure my car got all the care it needed. Honestly would rate them higher than 5 stars if I could. All the staff is kind and incredibly helpful.

Gil took care of my brake flush. Upfront pricing, no surprises. Quick turnaround, and excellent work. 12/10 would return for future needs.

Professional, trustworthy and GREAT service. Best experience with a mechanic ever! My car's AC compressor went out and I drive for Lyft so I HAD to fix it ASAP. He got it fixed super fast and found me the part I needed for a great price! The AC is ice cold now and I get to keep making a living without having to deal with anyone trying to take advantage of me.
