Brakes & Mufflers in Santa Monica
Santa Monica is bike-lane heavy, Promenade-traffic heavy, and stop-and-go all day — and that mix chews through brake pads and exhaust gaskets. We're the South Bay shop most Santa Monica residents call once they realize the Westside shops are weeks out and twice the price.
We're 10 miles from Santa Monica via I-10 and Hwy 1, serving the iconic Westside beach city including Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade.
