Santa Cruz Auto Repair

Nate and his team have provided great quality service for my family’s vehicles for over 20 years.

Friendly, fast, professional. Fair price. Nice dog.

Nate Smith's Optimal Auto Care really goes above and beyond! My "older" EuroVan needed shocks and they offered me a loaner car while the work was performed. They provide great service and are super positive and enthusiastic about VW Westies and EuroVans. Big kudos to Blake and Rigo, who offer professional knowledge and stellar customer service. I will definitely be coming back for future servicing.

I couldn't be happier with the service I always receive from Nate's Optimal Auto. They consistently go above and beyond for their customers!

Nate Smith’s crew are the best. They are highly skilled, honest professionals who go the extra mile—or miles—to get a job done right. They know their BMWs, they don’t cut corners, they also strive to be as economical as possible. Highly recommended.

This was my first time at Optimal Auto Care. Everyone was welcoming, gracious, and efficient. Nate and his wife had a personal touch, and Rigo gave me important feedback about my car when I picked it up from being serviced. I will definitely be back!

Fast reliable service and excellent customer service! I trust my VW Vanagon to be serviced by the professionals at Nate Smiths Optimal Auto Care.

Excellent/quality workmanship. Won't take my X5 to anyone else!

I wanted a hitch-mounted bike rack but was deterred by how ugly a trailer hitch would look on my BMW. Nonetheless I called Nate Smith's to inquire what was available. Blake told me about Stealth® Hitches - the receiver box, everything visible, is removable. What an inspired suggestion! I asked him to get me one. The installation is beautiful and it works!
