Santa Monica Automotive

Whether they roll in under their own power or hitch a ride on the shop’s towing and transport trucks, cars head to Iron Horse Auto Body for restorative appointments with the team of seasoned repair techs. Mechanics roll up their sleeves and roll out polishes and power tools as they repair dented fenders, restore chipped-off paint, buff exteriors until they shine, and perform other rejuvenating auto services. They also repair and repaint motorcycles dented in collisions or faded by the shadows of Shriners’ fezzes.

Since 1956, attendants have been hand washing cars at Lakeside Car Wash from bumper to bumper, polishing everything from tail fins and hood ornaments to GPS systems. The employees, some who have been with Lakeside Car Wash for 20 years, expertly detail automobiles inside and out, dress tires for Fashion Week, and shampoo interior and exterior carpeting. They also perform a cornucopia of other services including engine washes, hand waxes, and top-to-bottom Armor All–treatments.
