“Rich is the man! If you need anything for your dirt bikes don’t hesitate and just go to him. I originally called to see about getting a chain shortened and rather than charging me for the labor when it’s quick he wanted to sell me the tool so I could save money. He’s an honest guy with an awesome shop.”

“Reed is THE MAN. We had ridden up from SoCal when I got a flat on the freeway. Reed came and got us and brought us to his shop. Holy Amazeballs, the bikes he’s working on are so beautiful! He’s also got some gear he’s selling. He loaded us up with snacks and provided top notch service! He’s so knowledgeable and his work is u rivaled. I will gladly come back up from SoCal to have Reed and his crew modify or work on my bike. They know their stuff.Outstanding work and friendly to boot? Nobody better!”

“They are amazing! I took in my car because sometimes when I would stop the car would stall and I would need to reignite it. They did a general inspection and fluid check for free. Then they took it for a test drive and found an issue with the back axle they fixed it immediately and had a fair price. The mechanics ended up finding out the transmission fluid was low and charged me almost nothing to fill it up. I had my car back the same day even though it took 6 hours to repair. Can’t recommend enough!”

“They took my car at the appointment time and got it back to me within the estimated amount of time that was quoted. No sitting around for 10 minutes waiting to be seen, and waiting another 20 minutes for them to actually touch your car. Billing is clear, and the labor performed is throughly documented. Very pleasant, efficient, and communicative service desk. I doubt much falls through the cracks. Great place to take your vehicle.”

“Have had two cars that needed new windshields in the last few months. I did my research on where to go, found Justin's shop through online reviews and am 100% satisfied with the process, price and work done. Contacting him was easy, scheduling a breeze and he delivered as promised. Also he called me half hour before the repair was completed so I could plan my return to the shop. I will definitely go back if needed and can 100% recommend him to anyone needing glass repair on their cars.”

“I am from Montreal in a temporary work visa in Santa Cruz. I was referred to come here by a work collegue. They recommended me going for a Japanese car based on my needs. I was going to bring a car for pre-purchase inspection. I was glad to know by email in advance to not bring in a car to perform the least amount of pre-purchase inspection to save money. When I brought in a 2018 Corolla from a used car dealership, they discovered that the car oil level was way too high and that the coolant level was low. It was great to have the report with pictures. Then, they recommended doing a leak test to make sure the car's engine was in good shape. Finally, I purchased the car and had it for a couple of days and it seems fine. Overall, it was a great place that seems to be run by nice people. They took time to educated me on the meaning of the test. It was a great experience. Thanks”

“Iomotor's service is excellent! They are very busy but tried to fix my coolant which was an urgent situation. I dropping off my car late in the afternoon when the smoke was coming out of the cover. They managed to work late the next day and finished fixing the coolant system after I told them that I needed the car to go to work. I really appreciate their professionalism and great service. I will go back to them.”

“I've had positive experiences at SC Smog Plus. First, with Mario who did a tune up and smog check. More recently, Fardad replaced my alternator and replaced broken door handle (inner and outer). They did what they said they would and kept me posted and finally, they charged me a reasonable price each time.”

“This was a review I forgot to finish... I trust my past self to give this company what they deserved which was apparently 5 stars - I can't recall why exactly now, but knowing myself - it was because I felt the people I encountered were friendly, helpful, and trustworthy. I don't review places often, so they must have really made an impact at the time.”

“My son’s car needed an alternator and couldn’t run so it was left at our cabin in Aptos. I called around to our friends and they recommended Nate Smith.I called Nate Smith the next week I was up and they could get me right in… They completed the job and communicated every step with any deviation from the original estimate. They were prompt courteous. And respectful of my time I’d recommend them to anybody and everybody.”

“Met with Greg last week and today we ordered everything for my truck. Very straight forward and to the point,I appreciate that especially for someone unfamiliar with some of the lingo. 25 years in business says a lot. UPDATE Wow the customer service afterwards is non existent. They put the wrong running boards on and didn’t even offer to replace them now I’m stuck not being able to reach my tool box without getting in the truck bed. UPDATE2 After 4 years I went back for new tires and grumpy Greg took down my info tire size etc. and NEVER called me back. I reached out after a week and he acted like he had no idea who I was. I decided to take my business else where to a place that wants my hard earned $ and has great customer service. Big O tires hooked me up and is always happy to see me for free regular rotations, dry reasonable oil changes etc etc. I actually tried several 4x4 shops that ended up not being able to help me. Who knew Big O was the place. Avoid Santa Cruz 4x4 unless your buddy buddy with Greg. It’s a shame.”

“Kyle at Hayes European was great to work with. Scheduled the service and had a smooth drop off/pick-up experience. This is a new (used) car to me and recently had a recall service done at the dealership. The dealership recommended some safety services ($$$$$) so I decided to get a quote from Hayes. Saved 30% from dealership quote, prefer to go local and they did not disappoint!”
