The mechanic had super fast service and was extremely helpful. They got me in right away and treated me with excellent care. Will be back for all my tire needs!

Service was very fast and effective. Ike and his team were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. They answered all my questions and provided an estimate before beginning work.

Super great, fast, and understandable!! Will be coming back. Took care of all the issues and gave me a good price. I even went back a couple hours later because of a noise and he helped me remove a rock from my tire!!

My spark plug change update
Cassandra B.

I called this morning to see if they could change my spark plugs. Ike was very sweet and helped me out really quickly. Prices are reasonable, and they are very commutative on the parts they will change in the vehicle. Have me updates through out my service which I appreciated. Will be coming here again to get any service done!

Electrical wiring for the tail light issue

Had a fantastic experience at Gateway! I realized my tail lights were out and it was unsafe for me to drive at night, so they helped me out and got the problem solved the same day! It was a whole electrical issue & they still squeezed me in so I didn't have to uber across the city home. It was really kind and saved me a ton of money. The work was quick, efficient and they were really nice. Thanks Ike!!

AC Leak Assessment
Abdi H.

Brought my car for assessment of AC leak. Ike and Ricardo were able to fix me up quickly. They explained everything thoroughly and made it a pleasant experience

Fast and reliable service. Fair prices. Look for Ricardo and Ike :) Fast and reliable service. Fair prices. Look for Ricardo and Ike :)

Very nice people, fast response, finished the oil change within 15 mins, saved my day.

Ike is the best!! My car unexpectedly died and would not start. He was able to squeeze me in and coordinated with me early on a Monday morning to get my car towed and serviced as soon as possible. He and Ricardo were able to figure out my battery issue very quickly and provided me a very reasonable quote. They are also very efficient as the repair was completed by the same day afternoon. Ike was very communicative and kind throughout this entire stressful process and I will definitely be taking my car here for maintenance from now on!

My baby getting work done.
Kara C.

I plan to keep my 2012 Prius alive through the end of the world, and I now have Ike, the most amazing, honest, clever auto mechanic to help me get there. He helps me invest in my car to keep its value. I just brought in my baby after a few years away for a lot of much needed work, wheel work and struts, oil changes, coolant flushing, some fixes to the electrical system, and finally, at long last, a catalytic converter shield, all things I have put off because of the expense. Not only did Ike do all of this work carefully, he was in contact with me via text and phone the whole time to track the expense and what I could afford. He even threw in free electrical inspection and a mini detail so that my car now seems brand new with stains taken out of the carpet I thought were there forever. Ike is the best!! You can trust him to take care of you and your car, the most precious thing you have on these brutal, pothole filled Los Angeles streets.

Ike was helpful in fixing my car after I had an issue while driving on the freeway. His service was fast and efficient, and he was communicative of any services needed.

Leaking grease and torn boot.
Eddie W.

Requested a quote on repairing my front left axle since my boot was already leaking grease and making the clicking noise. The owner quoted me pretty close to what I got from another shop, so I decided to go with him since the shop is a lot closer to where I live currently. Owner was very friendly and responsive to any questions I had. He also took pictures of before and after of the repair and made sure the car was cleaned of the grease from the leaking boot underneath my car. Based on my experience I do recommend checking them out in the Mar Vista/Santa Monica area. The repair was sooner than later and the owner gave me a ride home and picked me up since I lived local.

It's not easy trusting anyone with a classic, but they treated my Galaxie with the kind of care and respect you hope for but rarely find. They went through the bodywork piece by piece, straightened things out perfectly, and the paint came out gorgeous. The car honestly looks better than it has in decades. You can tell they really understand older cars -- nothing was rushed, and the craftsmanship shows in every line and reflection. Huge shoutout to Jason, again, for keeping me in the loop the whole way. He made the entire process easy, answered every question I threw at him, and made me feel confident the car was in the right hands. If you've got a classic that needs real attention to detail, or you just want a shop that genuinely cares about the work they do, Westwood Autobody is the spot. My Galaxie 500 hasn't looked this good since the '60s.

It's rare to find that level of honesty and integrity in any business these days. On top of that, the whole process was quick and easy. I was in and out with no hassle, and they treated me with genuine kindness and professionalism. They've absolutely earned my trust, and I'll be a customer for life. If you're looking for an auto body shop that truly takes care of people, this is the place.

I'm extremely…read moreparticular about my car and have been burned before, so transparency, communication, and trust are everything to me. Ted takes the time to explain exactly what's going on at every step, genuinely treats your car like it's his own, and works hard to get you the best deal possible while being completely upfront about costs. This time, I came in for a fender replacement, scratched rims, and a windshield replacement. I only wanted OEM parts. Knowing I was paying out of pocket and valuing that I was a returning customer, Ted significantly cut down on labor costs, repaired my rim for free, and comped the windshield moldings. All in, he saved me about $500 simply because I was a loyal customer. For comparison, another reputable shop in Santa Monica quoted me over $800 more (just for the fender and rim) and told me they have highly competitive pricing. Even if Ted hadn't saved me that $500, his pricing would have been significantly less than that quote. The fact that he then went even further to discount the work for a loyal customer says everything about how he runs his business. My car looks brand new and I'm so happy with the result. I won't take my car anywhere else.

Great service, work done, and Ted is great at getting the best deal for all involved. Extremely…read moreresponsive, transparent, and honest - highly recommend for any collision work.

This was the second place I towed my car to due to the first place being the shop AAA took me to as their default in the area. However, they didn't even turn the car on during inspection. When I took it to Sam's shop, he turned the car on and showed me that the car wouldn't even drive and made extremely loud noises. The team did a very thorough job and got the car to look back to new. As my car was a new 2025 model, I really wanted this repair to restore the car. Sam, the owner, is a nice and detailed person, making sure to check out all other components of the car to ensure hidden damage from the collision wasn't missed. He answers all questions regarding specifics of damages and parts. He is also very responsive to texts and calls for updates during the repair. Even though the repair took couple weeks, the result made it worth it. If you unfortunately end up in a collision and need repairs of any kind from cosmetic to mechanical to structural, I highly recommend this shop. They will get your car back to looking new.
