Santa Cruz Auto Repair

A year and a half ago I began a restoration project on a 28 year old BMW with Nate Smiths Optimal Auto. As you would imagine, when doing a restoration one thing often leads to another. Each time the car comes into Nate's I am continually impressed with the quality of the work performed on the vehicle as well as the quality of the staff. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect this restoration to become my every day driver, but it has become just that. To Nate, Rigo and all the folks that have put their mark on my BMW E34 M60, thank you for you attention to detail. She runs like a brand new car.

They went out of their way to be sure they kept their word as to scheduling and doing the repair

Great service! Thank You!!!

Breaking down is rarely a good experience but having a shop you can trust to take care of your car takes some of the stress out of it. A big THANKs to Nate and the team!

I was not a customer until my car broke down and all the wonderful staff helped me out. Even though I wasn’t customer before I am now. Thanks you so much to everyone there.

My '08 Mini was having some serious problems when I brought the car in. Nate Smith's Optimal Auto Care did a great job of diagnosing the problem and setting a program to fix the engine in the car. I was kept updated along the way with the terrible news of what was wrong with the car, bad valves and collapsed piston rings, and the remedies that were needed and their approximate costs. When I got the car back it was running better than the day I bought it. I would highly recommend this shop.

Excellent service, as always.
