Santa Cruz Auto Repair

I've been a customer of Nate's for 30 years. I often tell people (because it's true): I wouldn't own BMW's if it weren't for them. Every time I bring one of my cars in for service, I'm 100% confident it will be done right. They always know exactly what my car needs and never try to sell me on something that it doesn't need. Their communication is always timely and clear, keeping me appropriately informed of what's going on. On top of that, Nate, Meg and Team are great people! Everyone there is always super friendly and make me feel like family. Nate's business is truly an asset to the community and I'm so grateful for their services!

Great service ….. especially providing a friendly ride service.

I feel so fortunate to have found Optimal Auto. They’ve been servicing my car for almost 7 years and they are simply the best in every way. :)))

Honest and professional service. Best choice for VW service in Santa Cruz - about the only decent choice for Eurovan service.

Great work, as always.

I ve gone to Nate & Meg for years now. They’ve taken care of my old BMW & now my newer Mercedes. Nate runs a happy crew of excellent mechanics & I am a very happy customer!

Friendly professional service Diagnosed my bmw issue quickly. Provided great advice Will certainly use again

Great service!

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
