Extremely efficient and understanding. Thank for working with me and giving me the opportunity to illustrate the meaning of a man’s word. Rene and his team worked on my car while I was in a binge, with complete professionalism and a sense of community at heart. I highly recommend Rene’s Auto Repair to everyone in the community as a reliable and understanding professional.

René himself came and recused me from the side of the road where my car stopped running. He was professional, polite, and walked the extra mile to get me help.

The service here is amazing. The owner himself, Rene, helped diagnose a multitude of problems and fixed everything for a fair price. He is very helpful and even fixed a couple minor problems free of charge. I would highly recommend his service.

If there was a way I could give Rene a Patron Sainthood - I absolutely would.
I brought my Mitsubishi outlander sport to him with a mystery condition that developed after getting my brakes and rotors done at Firestone on Water St. that they themselves couldn't identify or fix (don't EVER take your car there).
We have a very nearing deadline of moving 1500 miles away a week from now and my car was not safe to drive at this point.
Not only did he almost immediately take my car in after calling during the short week of Thanksgiving which is a huge blessing; he also communicated consistently every step of the way on what he was doing, what he found, and what my options were.
He found the problem, fixed it, and saved me over $2k in parts and labor from the dealership.
Which ultimately has saved our move timeline. His prices are incredible, he is fair, and you can trust him and his years of knowledge and expertise.
I cannot recommend him enough!! Please take your vehicles to Rene!

They helped my friend at a fair price and did an excellent job. We had taken the car to a few shops before this and none were willing to see what they could do with the small budget we had to offer. Renes exceeded expectations and went above and beyond. 5 stars.

We were in a pinch. My daughter needed to get herself and her car to Seattle within a week and it was running poorly. Rene found the issue quickly and was on it right away. Thank you Rene for being helpful and willing to get it done so quickly. We’ve put 1000 miles on the car in 4 days and it’s doing great!

Literal lifesaver! My friend and I were unlucky and our car got hit with a large plank of wood on the highway. We quickly looked for an auto shop nearby and Rene was so kind and friendly to helped us out with our broken bumper and checked our car for us. Thank you so much!

My Honda Accord’s alternator died. I bought a new alternator and called Rene. Has was able to fix it in a few hours. Good price. Much much cheaper than other auto shops in Santa Cruz. He did a great job. I’d use his shop from now on.

I took my ‘04 Toyota Sienna into Rene initially for a wheel bearing and because of the great service at a fair price I ended up returning for the next two repair jobs I needed on the vehicle. Highly recommend this shop.Service: Engine repair

I called last minute for a brake inspection, break pads, and tire rotation. Rene gladly took my automobile in. I picked my automobile up within 2 1/2 hours. I would recommend Rene auto service to anyone needing professional and friendly service.

Even though Rene was inundated with other repairs, I had my brakes and rotors replaced within one hour of walking into the garage. All other shops in the area required an appointment for days later, but Rene understood that I could be a danger to myself and other Santa Cruzians. If you like to support long-standing local businesses, honest mechanics, quality OEM PARTS, vicinity to town eats, quicker than average repair, then please patronize this establishment. I'm coming back to get my back two rotors and brakes repaired before I cross any mountain ranges.Service: Auto brake repair
