Services
Our approach to German auto care is unique in that we look at the big picture, the vehicle as a whole. This allows us to prioritize the repairs needed for the vehicle, potentially preventing costly repairs down the road. We value our relationships with our clients and their vehicles. We are here for the long haul, and want to see our clients get many miles out of their vehicles.
After conferring with State and local officials and based on the relatively small number of personal interactions involved in our daily operation we have decided to continue to function and will be open regular hours. We have taken aggressive measures to sanitize surfaces that are prone to human touch and will do so on a continuing basis.
We can't always predict when parts are going to fail, possibly leaving you on the side of the road. At Santa Barbara Autowerks, our goal is to get you back on the road as soon as possible. We promise to get your vehicle in promptly and have one of our qualified mechanics diagnose the failure. Depending on parts availability and scope of repairs needed, we'll do our best to have you and your vehicle on the road again that very same day.
Previously the largest unincorporated area of the county, Goleta has become a large part of Santa Barbara County. With numerous private and secondary schools filling the city tucked in between narrow beaches and high elevation mountain ranges your car can be subjected to quite a wide variety of elements in a short amount of time.
One of the wealthiest cities in the country, Montecito, CA is known for beautifully maintained homes, beautiful views of mountains and the oceans and typically warmer weather all year-round. This climate can have quite the impact on your vehicle's performance if you fall behind on important service and maintenance dates.

I am very pleased with all the work they did on my car, and for the excellent customer service. I had a Passat 2003 and I always took it there since I bought it. Hector and his team were always very professional, they always did a full check up on my car, and they always did what was promised. I never felt disrespected like very often women do in mechanic shops. Moreover, my car was old and it was nothing like the Volvos and and BMWs they often have at their shop, but still I never felt like I was treated any different than the other customers. Last time I went there, the repairs cost exceeded

Brought VW EOS that had been virtual lemon for years, despite several trips to dealer. They wanted $6k+ to fix convertible top and oil leak, which they said was between engine and transmission. Turned out had broken fuel pump module, improperly installed valve cover, improperly replaced oil filter and seeping oil plug. Top problem was fixed by a tied knot to a tether... car came back clean, beautifully running and all maintenance done. Will be first choice if import car trouble again.

Took my 2006 e90 BMW 330i that I just bought there to repair what I only thought was 1 oil leak I was told about prior to buying it. Turns out it was much more than that. Hector was very prompt and honest about what the car needed and why, and ultimately left the control in my hands about what I wanted to fix on the car. No silly games, or attempts at selling me services the car didn't need. Clearly this team takes pride in what they do, plus they are car enthusiasts(such as myself) which made me feel like I wasn't just a number in their system and rather a driver who's machine was in good hands

I was very pleased with the work that SB Autowerks performed on my Mercedes CLK 320. I had a lengthy list of repairs to be performed and asked for an estimate which was promptly given. In the course of performing the work, Hector contacted me about an oil leak that they discovered. He gave me an estimate to fix the leak and worked with me to identify an item from my original list that could be removed in order to help contain the total cost of repairs. When the work was complete, he informed me that it was determined that one of the repair items on my list was unnecessary, and that the labor hours

Hector and his team are invaluable! Their service is really beyond compare—always quick, transparent, and communicative about your car’s needs. They’ve been a godsend since there’s no VW dealership in Santa Barbara, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experiences at SB Autowerks. Couldn’t recommend them more!

I am so grateful to have found SB Autowerks for a variety of reasons. I just relocated back to the area and had yet to find MY mechanic. Being new to the area, I didn't have many friends to turn to for suggestions, which left me relying on reviews - and my gut. Peter and his crew came through in a serious moment of need! On a day they were slammed with work they fit me in, told me I'd have my car back the next day and actually had it ready the SAME day I dropped it off! They were efficient, FAST, gave me an honest price (and stuck to it! no 'surprise' additional costs!), and simply did overall
