SB Motor Works is the real deal. Jonathan—who’s basically a one-man powerhouse—runs the show and does everything from mechanical work to seriously impressive custom fabrication.

Jonathan is the best mechanic I have found in Santa Barbara so far and trust me, I have been doing a lot of digging! He took care of my rear axle and all of my brakes for half the price of anywhere else without compromising the quality of his parts or service. Amazing service, really great prices, and awesome transparency. Jonathan kept me updated on the parts he ordered, their ETA, and where he was at working on my car throughout the whole process. I told him I needed the car before Monday so he came in on his Saturday night and put in overtime to get my car in the best shape it has been in! I definitely will be returning for all of my car troubles, can't recommend this shop enough.

This guy Johnaton is a liar... .
