Most Trusted Station
For over two decades, Village 76 has been the automotive backbone of Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Malibu, and the Westside of Los Angeles. We are not a franchise, not a factory — we are a neighborhood station that treats every vehicle like it belongs to family.
Our STAR Certification isn't just a license — it's a promise. The California Bureau of Automotive Repair issues STAR status only to stations that demonstrate consistent accuracy and integrity. We earned it, and we protect it every day.
Our ASE-certified technicians attend regular training to stay current with every make and model rolling off today's assembly lines. From a 1988 pickup to a 2024 hybrid SUV, we have the tools, the software, and the know-how to diagnose it, fix it, and certify it.
Beyond smog checks, we are your complete one-stop auto care center: brakes, A/C, transmission, suspension, electrical, computer diagnostics, oil changes, tune-ups, headlight restoration, propane and fuel services — every service you need, under one roof, at prices that won't leave you stranded.
