βIO Motors is amazing!! We were visiting from out of town and had unexpected car trouble. They were able to squeeze us in and get it diagnosed and fixed. The story is much longer but I wonβt bore you. Long story short, they saved our vacation!β
βI took our 2012 Volkswagen Beetle to Specialized Auto. They did a great job at a very reasonable price. They did the repair quickly with incredible customer service.β
βMy engine oil plan was leaking but I was planning on going out of town for Thanksgiving. Rene got it fixed in 24 hours at a reasonable price and got me back on the road like it never happened! Couldn't ask for better service!β
βEXCELLENT. 5 STARS.
I was stranded and they took the time to connect me with a towing solution, and also stayed very late to fix my bike and get it back on the road the same night, so that I would have to get a hotel.β
βAE Motor Sports is exceptional. They are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely friendly. They take the time to explain every step of the process and go above and beyond to ensure repairs are done right. Their expertise and customer service are unmatched. I give them my highest recommendation.β
βIt's so nice to have a local shop where you can really trust everyone in house from reception, the mechanics, to billing and follow-up.
I have referred many friends and family to WATERSTAR and haven't had one bad experience.β

βNeeded a somewhat specialty tire after our tire disintegrated, the day before Thanksgiving. Lloyd's delivered the tire from their shop an hour a way, and took care of us in remarkable time. We were back on the road the same day! I will be going back there.β
βI've been looking for an honest, affordable, thorough, patient, and professional auto shop to have my 2001 Toyota 4Runner repaired & maintained for over 10 years. I FINALLY FOUND THEM!! I couldn't ask for a cleaner shop, communicative & friendly owners, informative staff, and overall pleasant and comfortable experience. OH! They ALSO WORK on SATURDAYS! The list goes on.... Don't waste ANY MORE TIME and money with corporate owned shops. These guys know how to work, know what they're doing and will get your vehicle back on the road as efficiently as possible.β
βSergio was kind and efficient in fixing my bumper issue! We called Saturday afternoon and he was able to fit us in same day to get us safely back on the road. Would highly recommend. 10/10β
βThese are some of the most genuine, honest and professional people you can meet. Exceedingly great work and upfront about the costs. They have helped me and mine multiple times and everyone does a fantastic job. A stand up bunch through and through.β
βAs always Iβm very pleased with the service on my Jetta. Iβve been going to Nate Smith for many years, and they always worked hard to make sure Iβm satisfied. And theyβve done a great job of keeping my Jetta and BMW well serviced.β

βI brought my BMW 535 to Hayes European, and they did a phenomenal job. I didnβt feel taken advantage of at all β they were honest, straightforward, and genuinely cared about helping me. That is so rare these days.
Tim and the team explained everything clearly and treated me with real integrity. I left feeling grateful, relieved, and confident in the work they did. Itβs good to know there are still people out there who do right by their customers.
Highly recommend Hayes European.β
βOutstanding service and professionalism. The team took great care of our Porsche Cayenne and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The car feels amazing, and I truly appreciate their attention to detail. Highly recommend!β
βLovely shop! Quite clean. Friendly staff. The woman at the front desk I believe it was Jennifer was very welcoming. Lots of amenities for a garage. (WiFi, snacks, waters, etc). I most appreciated the snacks for my children who came along to pick my car up, the staff was kind to them offering them stickers and snacks(theyβre favorite was the candy, of course?) I love how itβs a small local business where everyone knows your name. I also thought it was sweet the whole family working together.
Overall I would highly recommend this shop to anyone in need of some work or maintenance. Great team, that runs a tight ship.β
βKim and her top mechanic Randy have serviced my van since I had my transmission replaced a few years ago! Thatβs when I found out they do other car care. Theyβve also tuned up my Mazda 3 Sport. Great job. Zack at the front desk is thorough at meeting my needs. Iβd recommend this AAMCO to any of my friends.β
βI brought my 4Runner to Westons Auto Body And Paint for a front end fender bender claim. Every single step of the way it was by far the absolute best auto body experience I have ever had. Alex was the nicest dude and took care of all the paperwork, scheduling, ordering, and adjustments with the insurance for me. The work was absolute top notch. I am a super picky designer and the paint and fitment was perfection. Not only that but it only took them a few days to do the entire job including getting the parts! They went way above and beyond helping me with a few other things on my truck that wasnβt even part of the claim. I have been to the best auto body places all over Santa Cruz and I can tell you that Westons Auto Body And Paint is hands down the best there is.β
βI have been taking my vehicles to Bobby forever. Then my kids vehicles. Now my grandkids vehicles. I trust Bobby to give me a fair assessment of work that needs to be done, never pressuring for more than necessary. Now Bubba is stepping up and I feel Bobby has taught him to run the business the same way as he has all these years. I dont take any of my vehicles anywhere else and you shouldn't either.β

βThis place is amazing. As someone who knows very little about trucks, Stephanie and Denver took the time to explain things to me in a way that was easily understandable and very interesting to learn. This place is far and away the best service Iβve ever experienced. They are so incredibly friendly and want to make sure that you are taken care of. Everyone should take their car or truck to this place. I canβt say enough great things about Stephanie and Denver. You will not be disappointed!!β
βThe service was high quality, prompt, and so affordable. Kelly and Ron kept me in the loop the whole time and were both kind and professional. Easy to trust and even easier to return to. Thanks for becoming my new go-to mechanic!β
βMax at Circle Star Motors works with so much integrity. I am the 2nd owner of my Mercedes and have come across some challenging issues. Max goes above and beyond to do what's best for his customers and I really cant say enough good things about him and the way he conducts business. Not only does he conduct his business 10/10, but the quality of his work is above and beyond as well. Thank you Max for your help and services!!β

βThis is the second time I've taken my GTI to Pearce. Great customer service. Good to have a mechanic that you can trust. I'll definitely be coming back.β
βWe've been taking our Yamaha Vino scooter to Jim's Cycle for several years now, and we can't recommend Jim highly enough! He's the only person in the Santa Cruz area who knows how to work on this type of scooter, and his lifetime of expertise shows. Every time we bring our scooter in, he offers a speedy and super fair deal, resolving our problems without any hassle. If you need a reliable and knowledgeable mechanic for your scooter, Jim's Cycle is the place to go!β
βI had an appointment - car was taken in immediately and oil change and one part installed and the system checked and tire pressure topped off and system reset - all very pleasant while I read my book in the comfortable waiting room. I have been a customer for many years under former and present ownership.β
βWe just purchased a Hybrid Ford Maverick from North Bay Ford. This is probably the best review I can leave: This is our 8th or 9th purchase from North Bay Ford. That kind if says it all.β
βRuben and the team at Kraft's Auto Body did an EXCELLENT job with the repair on my Tesla Model S. The communication was top-notch, keeping me informed of progress, and the finished product was perfect!
Thank you.β
βVisited this place for a non-smog related issue in my car. These guys identified it and knew exactly how to fix it by promptly proceeding. Reliable and professional service is what you get here!β
βMy number One car care crew. Good friend of mine recommended I bring my car to Paul and I am so happy I did. I have to say that my favorite thing about this shop is the crew. You can really feel that they care about their customers. Great pricing. Awesomeβ¦.good energy. Bringing my momβs car to get her car worked on next week. Thank you so much for taking care and helping a mama out. We appreciate you.β
βExtremely knowledgeable, and yet kind and helpful. My first time having to replace this tricky BMW windshield. Seth took care of everything, having the computer calibration company come (who I also met and were wonderful) deal with the specialty programming for the windshields features (hologram speedometer, gps, etc). This car was much more tricky than my former cars and I appreciated it was in such capable and experienced hands. Definitely coming here for all my windshield needs. Can't say enough good things about him.β
βIt's been a while since I've been here, but I was looking through old receipts and remembered how the guys at Tiger Motors took care of me for the 5 years I lived in Santa Cruz. They do great and honest work and I was genuinely sad to have to find a new mechanic when I left. Thank you Tiger!β
βGreat staff and service. Returned my calls in reasonable amount of time and answered my questions. I have my appointment scheduled in about a week following my initial inquiry including ordering difficult to find parts. Recommend!β
