The concerns with my Bug were addressed quickly, despite the shop being very busy. I was confident with the diagnosis and work performed on my car. Should the need arise when I am in the area, I will definitely return to Nate's! Excellent, fast, friendly service! Great value! Thank you!

Thanks guys ;)

Love these guys!

Being from out-of-town, I was nervous about taking my Bug to a mechanic I did not know. However, the reviews on Yelp were great, so I thought I would give them a try. Despite being booked up, the staff made time to diagnose my Bug. I was confident with the diagnosis and work performed on my car. Should the need arise when I am in the area, I will definitely return to Nate's! Excellent, fast, friendly service! Great value! Thank you!

So nice to walk into the front desk and be treated like a welcome guest. Polite, efficient and friendly. Good communication. Not intimidating or condescending.

Meg, Nate and the whole crew ... great people. Trustworthy, they do not try to up sell you. They are not the cheapest, but they get the work done correctly. The service here is awesome friendly always great you polite and cheerful. My last visit my car didn't pass smog and they fixed it. I thought i would have to drive to the smog station and get smogged but what was a nice surprise they did it for me. They saved me a hour of my time. I highly recommend them over the dealers and always call make a appointment they are in high demand.

I have been coming to Nate for 15 years now. What I appreciate the most is that they take time to diagnose the problem and then do a great job fixing what is actually broken. They are 100% honest people really good in what they are doing. I do a lot of work on my BMW myself, but sometimes I had to give up and bring my car to Nate. I remember that nasty overheating problem on my 528i that I could not solve. They magically fixed it. Over the years I also tried other mechanics and on bigger jobs I compared quotes. This is why I can say with confidence that Optimal is the best BMW place in town!

Great service and customer care! I highly recommend this establishment!

I've been going to optimal auto for the past three or four years for service on my mini Cooper. I have been very satisfied with all the work performed and have been treated very well by the staff. I have no hesitation in recommending optimal auto for all your service needs. I had to buy two new runflat tires for the mini last week the prices are very very competitive to tire dealers .

Great service - so happy I found Nate's!
