Our story
We built The Auto Shop around a simple idea: tell customers the truth about their car, even when that means sending them somewhere else. Whether it is a Honda with a mystery noise or a routine smog check, we look at the actual problem before we recommend anything.
As one of only two STAR certified smog stations in Santa Maria, we handle testing that other shops cannot. Customers keep coming back because appointments move fast and the explanations make sense, no matter how big or small the job.
We want our shop to feel like a place you do not dread visiting. There is even a game room to hang out in while you wait.
What customers say
“Great experience here! Was able to schedule an appointment fast and they got the work done extremely fast as well. Will definitely come back here if there's any other issues with my car.”
“Hooked me up with a smog without an appointment. One of only 2 star certified stations in santa maria. Really cool game room to hang out in while you wait.”
“I've gone to the Auto Shop for different things, including smog. Not only have I always had great service that I can trust and I know is backed, but he was the only mechanic that could hear the odd sound in my car that no one else but I could hear. He knew exactly what it was, told me what to do to make it last as long as possible. Joey and his staff are personable and will take the time to answer whatever questions you have. I have recommended him to my own kids.”
