South Bay British Auto Repair

As promised. Flexible and honest- had a bit of trouble with fine tuning carbs after a pretty extensive South Bay tuneup after I bought my 54 Triumph TR2 from a dealer in St Louis. They came to my house in Venice and fixed the problem with no additional charges

I'm very impressed by my experience at South Bay British. I brought them a well loved but well used 30+ year old Caterham Super Seven in need of basically everything. The owner Nigel helped me prioritize a sensible path forward with an eye towards safety and reliability. The technical service staff, Gene, Neil, & Tracy have been a wealth of information and I’ve really appreciated their attention to detail. Looking back I can say I’ve been totally happy with every aspect of the process and more importantly the results! Cheers!

Google will not let me leave a zero star.Stay away from this place. I wouldn't trust them with a bicycle. Just a look at the forecourt and it looks more like a scrap yard than a European repair shop. Many cars in various states of disrepair, smashed windows, flat tires etc. I am a experienced car hauler with over 20 years of business who picked a car for a client from them. The car was a Jaguar V12 and supposed to be in perfect running condition. It was not. I was misfiring on at least 2 cylinders and couldn't idle. It did not have enough power to drive up the ramps into the truck for transportation.I asked the 'mechanic ' why it was running so rough because it should have been smooth as it was a V12 and had just been repaired. He was dismissive, argumentative and told me the was fine,w

Clive, Nigel, Niel and John are fantastic in their service, dedication and expertise. Had catalytic converters stolen from work parking lot. They worked with the insurance and got it sorted quickly. I had other issues other than cats and they went above and beyond in getting it all taken care of. Maybe a bit pricy but you are paying for expertise and getting it done right the first time.

This is a great shop. Family owned for decades by a master British mechanic. They really know their stuff here. Every time I have an issue with my cars I always bring them here and they fix it right away. Their work is great, and the cars they restore are beautiful. A mechanic shop like this is a dime a dozen and you can’t find better quality work anywhere else!
