Santa Cruz Auto Repair

It is always a pleasure working with these fine people. I trust them, they know what they are doing and they are honest with what needs to be done.

Nate & Meg are the best, Blake & Michael as well. They tell you what they are going to do & they do it. What more could you ask for? Oh yea, Your car works when you get it back at a reasonable price.

I felt very taken care of by the folks at Optimal Auto, and I see that they were very thorough in checking out my car. I appreciate that! I also appreciated the ride to and from work! Thanks!

We used Nate Smith's for the first time moving to Santa Cruz County. Recommended by a auto repair shop in Half Moon Bay. Great work at a reasonable price. Staff was helpful and friendly. We are keeping them as our BMW repair shop.

Nate's is awesome! The front office staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - and they're never pushy about additional services. We've taken our '08 X3 here a few times and have always gotten top-notch service. If you have a BMW on the Santa Cruz side of the hill, Nate's is the place to go!

Consistently five star treatment over a decade!

I had some major issues with my Audi last year ( ie it had to be towed to a garage ) and a friend recommended this place. I found that they were extremely professional, honest, and fair. It took them a few days to figure out the problem ( after contacting Audi mechanics in Germany) and they found out that most of the issues could still be covered under warranty which I would never have known.... would certainly come back here again and would highly recommend to anyone

very fast; focused,and competent people!!

Never been disappointed with the work and always enjoy interacting with Nate and his team. After years of pampering my '75 BMW 2002, Nate is now taking great care of my '73 VW Weekender. Highly recommended!

A decade of consistently excellent service. Always on point, thorough intelligent work, with every effort to accommodate clients. The front desk offers genuinely polite and respectful help. Once you discover the high quality mechanics you can rely on, you keep coming back. By far, the best managed automotive business in Santa Cruz. Nate is phenomenal! Meg is amazing. I would not go anywhere else.
