Malibu Motors Service

THE BEST! mechanic shop in Santa Monica. Henry is very honest and actually cares about your vehicle and not your wallet. Will definitely come back to service my vehicle.

BEWARE! One of the rudest mechanics ever. «0» customer service (would give them no stars at all if it was possible!). there’s lots of competition out there folks. Suggest you use it!

I HIGHLY recommend Henry and his team at Malibu Motors. I’ve personally used them for years for my GL450 and couldn’t be happier. They are 100% honest, professional and their rates are affordable. If you have a Mercedes and are using the local dealership in Santa Monica for service or even for body shop repairs, consider using Henry and his team at Malibu. All it took for me was one trip to them and I made the switch, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Henry, thank you! My car is running beautifully ! You’re the best!
The car drives like is new!

I have a 1995 Mercedes convertible that always has one tiny issue or another. Henry at Malibu Motors has been so great about taking care of them for me! He’s quick, honest, knowledgeable and responsive, and unlike the Mercedes dealerships, does not charge you for a simple 5 minute consult or fix-​up. If they can fix it on the spot, they will. Highly recommend!

Malibu Moters should have their own category, because five stars is not enough!
I have done business with these amazingly kind and honest brothers for almost 20 years, and I cannot say enough about them.
I came to Los Angeles as a young woman on my own with a classic convertible Mercedes that needed constant upkeep. (I live near the ocean and the salt air took a toll on my car). It would’ve been easy for a mechanic to take advantage of me since I knew nothing about cars, but this family looked out for me, took care of my car, and I hold them in the highest regard.
Since those early days with my Mercedes, I have owned various cars (Toyota, Lexus, BMW), and always take them back to Malibu if they are willing to work on it.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I married a man who loves cars and is quite knowledgeable about them… he also feels the same way about Malibu Moters.
If you are reading this review because you were looking for a mechanic, consider this your lucky day because you found Malibu Moters.

in a bind I took my car here and found out later they charged me $ 300 more than other shops in the area. They told me I needed a new valve cover gasket and that would fix my problem– I asked what if it doesn’t. He assured me it would. It didn’t. I had the same problem two days later. Took it back twice and he did nothing but waste my time and tighten a few bolts. I now have to pay someone else to redo the incomplete job he did.
They are money hungry, and either lazy or don’t know what they are doing.
Took to another shop and they told me exactly what the problem was with videos and stills of their shotty work.
