Excellent customer service. Friendly environment and highly knowledgeable. Service is fast and efficient
Kiwi's explained the issue with my car. Gave me a couple of different courses of action and fixed my car. The check engine light is off and my car runs great!
I went into the shop not knowing anything about cars and worried because after driving my sedan on a very gravely road, I began hearing a weird sound when I drove my car. Being new to town, I was also worried about finding an honest …More

Sent my daughter here since I’m 300 miles away. I was sure it was the alternator. Other shops I had to leave it for a few days. This wasn’t going to work. They were able to diagnose it in one day. It was just a battery. Very professional and glad there are shops like this still around.

This company is wonderful! The people working on the cars to those that run the front are all very friendly, efficient, and kind. I appreciate mechanic shops like this because all to often there just isn't this level of comfort & trust in mechanic shops anymore. Thank you!

I highly recommend this place! I originally called this business looking for a second opinion. I instantly felt as if I could trust them for a fair price through the conversation. They completed my car problems for a much better price than …More

They squeezed me in on a busy day for my overdue oil change which I really appreciated as it was one of the few days I had time to leave my car for service. And they still did the complete preventative service check as well, and let me know they found no other issues.
I was passing through Santa Barbara and had some car troubles. Everyone at Kiwis was really helpful and they were able to get it done in a really good timeframe as I was supposed to be on the road to my next stop. They were friendly, honest, and did a great job! Very grateful for Kiwi’s in helping me out.

Being new to town, I was worried about finding a reliable, honest & thorough mechanic. Luckily, I stumbled upon Kiwi’s Auto Repair and have no need to go anywhere else for service. A job well done with friendly service to boot!

Santa Barbara is a small town, everyone knows someone who knows someone or they are related to that someone. I felt confident with my decision to go to Kiwis after hearing about the kind reputation and ethics the owner Rich is known for. …More

I first went to Kiwi's because my car window wouldn't roll up on a Friday afternoon before a 9-hour road trip. Somehow they managed to get the part and fix my Tacoma truck by that evening. I've been going to Kiwi's ever since and they are amazing. They are always super fast, friendly, and do an excellent job with the repairs. They are always trying to find the most cost-effective way to fix my truck and I really appreciate that. I've never had a trusting relationship with an auto body shop before Kiwi's. Now they are the only people I want to work on my truck. I'm so thankful to have found this auto repair shop in Santa Barbara. Thank you Rich and PJ!

I can't say enough how happy I am to have found Kiwi's! I first called them for an electric window that wouldn't roll up on a Friday afternoon before I was supposed to do a 9-hr road trip. I called them because they had good reviews. I don't know how they did it but they got the replacement part that afternoon and had the window fixed by the evening. I have been using them ever since. Their service is always perfect and so fast. I feel truly lucky to have found such an awesome auto mechanic. I have recommended them to all my friends and they are the only ones I ever want to work on my truck. Thank you Kiwi's!

This place is the best! My Outback has 35.000 miles. It should need new filters brakes, etc. but, according to Kiwis, it only needed a standard oil change. They could have easily up-sold me and had me pay a lot more money. They are excellent mechanics and very honest. A great combination!

I have lived in Santa Barbara for the past three years and these are the only guys that I let fix my car. They do a great job and warn you if there is anything you’ll need to look out for in the future. They won’t fix anything without your permission and won’t ever gouge you. If they can’t fix something they have great recommendations as to who can help you. They are also some of the funniest and sweetest guys in SB. If there is anything that needs to be done to your car, go to these guys because they’re the best.

Went in to get my car looked at, was called within an hour with the problems and how much everything would take to get fixed. Had my car back by the middle of the day! Really fast and such nice service. Definitely going back for any other car issues.

I have a long daily commute. They kept in contact with me every step of the way for my valves, water pump timing belt and radiator, I pretty much have a new car for a very reasonable fee.
We take 2 cars to Kiwis. They keep our cars running and have great service!

I’ve been going to Kiwi’s for years. Always get a straight forward assessment and honest recommendation of what’s necessary and what can wait until the next service visit. They have earned my trust and my business.
Everyone at Kiwi's is fantastic. Their service was quick, straightforward, and effective. I took my Civic in for a check-up before a long road trip as well as some ventilation and brake issues, and walked away with the car in perfect working order for a reasonable price. Highly recommend this shop.
