Great place to service your car. I have been coming to see him for many years now because how trustworthy he is. I have recommended him to many friends.

Prompt service reasonably priced. Carlos is knowledgeable and helpful.

I went to Carlos when needing to bring in my 10 year old VW for a regular check up :) He answered right away, said I could bring in the car anytime and was so kind from the start. When I arrive, he took down my contact details and said he would do a full look over and get back to me. About an hour later, I received a text with the recommended items with pricing details. Once approved my car was ready for pickup the same day although I wouldn’t make it by 6pm so I picked up the next day :) No changes in the great pricing, no surprises, just everything as recommended and we left super happy. I really can’t recommend Carlos and his team enough, they have the best energy! Thank you Carlos xxx

Carols and his team are the most reliable mechanics in the area. Whenever I have to bring my car in for some kind of service or issue, they thoroughly diagnose it. When they pinpoint what is causing problems, they will provide me the details, a repair plan and costs. If any additional issues are found, Carlos will not hesitate in telling me if the problem needs to be immediately addressed or if I can continue driving the car and take care of it later. He will also guarantee his work. I once replaced a radiator, which failed (manufacturer defect) almost a year later. He replaced it without any additional costs. All I can say is that I am fortunate to have a reliable, honest, reasonably priced mechanic in my area. If you have a car problem, bring it to High Tech Auto first. You wont be disappointed.

Carlos is the best!! He is really helpful, honest and very knowledgeable. I had a couple of issues with my car and when I explained it, he knew immediately the cause for each issue. I decided to deal with all the issues because they didnt break the bank. His pricing is fair and explains the breakdown. I was very happy with the service. When I come back for another service/repair, I know my car is in good hands here. Highly recommend especially if you are in the Santa Monica area.

I brought my car in for an oil change and left. When I came back the cars that were in the garage when i arrived were still there, and they said my oil change was done. I asked if they put air in my tires and they said. Of course we always do that. A couple days later my low air pressure alert for my tires came on. Makes we worry that if they lied about that, what else they were shady about. Personally wouldnt trust this place.

Carlos is delightful. They are competent, courteous, and fast. Affordable too! Highly recommended. It’s the only place we will take our car around this area.

Ive been going to see Carlos for 6+ years! Great service and prices. He always calls before making any additional repairs, sets expectations if things can wait or need to be corrected asap. Highly recommend!

Carlos is the most honest Technician I know - hell always give you a straight answer. And he is very meticulous in finding out the root issue of problems. I spent $$$$ at Firestone to fix a leak and noise problem, first new shocks and struts, then a new valve cover gasket. Then they said I need a new rack and pinion. Carlos figured out the leak came from the rack and pinion but said its not an immediate problem, hell keep an eye on it. The noise problem was a disintegrating drive shaft. He told me I could use an original or after market replacement part. Rock solid.

Im happy to add the 8th 5 star review on High Tech Autos google page. Working with Carlos has saved me thousands, prevented headaches and kept my 10 year old car in tip-top working condition. Where other mechanic shops have failed to correctly diagnose or resolve, High Tech has always made time for me, treated me right and solved every issue my truck and I experienced. Not to mention the trouble they have prevented. If you dont know about this shop and are looking for an honest mechanic and team, you cant do any better in the L.A. area. Plus you can drop your car off and walk to the beach or the library. Great location. Even better people. 3 years as a customer. I go to these for everything related to my vehicle. Carlos is a good man.

Carlos is the bomb. His prices are better than most & his work is impeccable. He works on all 3 of our cars & none of us want a new mechanic.

I’ve brought my car in for service three times now and I’ve been very happy. Carlos and his team are very professional and have a price that’s difficult to beat. I highly recommend.

Best service in Santa Monica and for miles! Great friendly service, they know how to find out what the problem is and fix it, all at a reasonable price. I will continue to bring my vehicles here.

Incredible customer service! My daughter is away at college in Santa Monica and drives her 2000 BMW 528i wagon while shes there. Her car was having issues starting so after doing some online research I told her to take it to High Tech Auto. After a very short period of time they diagnosed the issue to be a faulty alternator which is also what I suspected since I know the car very well. After speaking with Carlos on the phone he completely took care of my daughter and had the alternator replaced same day just 4 hours later! On top of that they only charged us 1 hour labor for the job! Total came out to be $423 which is well below what a normal replacement would cost. I cant overstate how impressed I am with their honesty, professionalism and kindness towards my daughter. Many other places would have looked at a young lady in a vulnerable position and tried to overcharge or add on repairs that were not necessary. High Tech Auto has become our place to go for any future repairs and has earned our loyalty for any future repairs!

Carlos and his guys are honest people, and good mechanics. You wont find anyone better qualified or at a better price than here in Santa Monica. Trust me, Ive checked.

Honest, reliable and great customer service.

Toyota Santa Monica wanted more than $4000 to fix me up after I had an accident in an alley way. Carlos did it for less than half of that. He kept me well informed throughout the whole process.

We are from Indiana, and were visiting our son working on a school assignment. He was having brake problems while in Santa Monica. I called from IN and spoke with Carlos to set up an appt., based on a recommendation I got from the hotel we were to be staying at. I took the car in on the first Monday we were there. We needed new brakes, as well as flushing the brake system. He finished that in less than a day. We asked him about an airbag light, as well, and decided to trust that with Carlos, as well. In short, he was able to address that as well. He make it clear he does not charge for assessing the problem. I called my mechanic in Indiana about all these issues and what he felt I should expect to pay, etc. Carloss prices were very reasonable and so far his work has stood up. He was pleasant to work with, and understood we were on vacation and needed the car as quickly as he could get it to us. I would recommend him highly, and felt we also made a bit of a friend in our experience. Thank you, Carlos.

Carlos always takes care of us. Been going to him for years.

I trust Carlos. That’s saying a lot.

Carlos is the most honest mechanic Ive ever met. He does the job well, and at a price that you cant argue with!

Nice customer service - reliable mechanic !

Very nice owner!

Carlos is the man!

Good service and above all comfortable prices 👍👍👍👍

It is the best
