Owner & lead technician

Christian “Critter” Mooney

Land Rover and Jaguar specialist. Certified technician. Santa Barbara local.

Critter has been factory-trained on Land Rovers since 1997. Over more than 25 years he has added Jaguar, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche and Volkswagen to the list, and built a reputation for finding the real problem instead of throwing parts at it.

He opened Critter Motors to give European car owners dealer-level expertise at independent-shop prices: factory-grade diagnostics, OEM-quality parts, proven procedures, and a straight answer every time.

What we stand for

The Critter way

Honesty first

We tell you what needs doing now, what can wait, and what doesn’t need doing at all.

Done right once

Root-cause repairs with genuine or OEM-grade parts, so you’re not back next month.

Long relationships

Many of our customers have trusted us with their vehicles for years. That’s the goal with every new one.
