Serving Venice
Venice’s Trusted Mercedes & Foreign Auto Repair
Just 20 minutes from Venice via Lincoln Blvd or the 405. Venice car enthusiasts have been bringing their vehicles to us since 1980.
The kind of independent shop Venice car owners appreciate.
Venice has always attracted people who value originality and craftsmanship, whether it is in art, architecture, or the cars they drive. The eclectic streets around Abbot Kinney and the Venice canals are full of interesting vehicles, from restored vintage Mercedes-Benz coupes to well-loved BMWs and Audis. If you are the kind of owner who cares about how your car is maintained, Mike’s Foreign Auto is a 20-minute drive south on Lincoln Blvd or the 405.
We are a family-owned shop that has been in the same Redondo Beach location since 1980. Our specialty is Mercedes-Benz, with particular expertise in vintage models: W123 sedans, R107 SLs, W126 S-Classes, and the classic turbodiesels that still run beautifully when properly maintained. We also service BMW, Audi, VW, and all other foreign and domestic makes. Direct communication with your mechanic, honest pricing, and the personal touch of a family business.
Venice’s creative community tends to value independent businesses run by people who genuinely love their craft. That is exactly what we are. We work on these cars because we are passionate about them, and it shows in the quality of work we deliver.
