Santa Cruz Auto Repair

I am a very long time customer of Optimal Auto Care. Nate, Meg, the others at the front desk are wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Optimal for very fair prices and excellent service!

This service was my first at an independent shop and not a Volkswagen dealership since purchasing my Tiguan new in 2010. I had a former connection at an out of the area VW store and maintained my car there exclusively. When that connection ended it was time to find a new source for service. I tried Nate Smith sheerly out of a random search and their proximity to my frequently traveled part of town. The repairs took a bit longer than expected by I am really pleased with the results. I got way more than I paid for and would highly recommend anyone with the types of European vehicles that they specialize working on to try them.

It’s my third time here & they have done a great job on my 2014 Mini Cooper. I really appreciate their communication/updates when my car is being worked on. My car is lowered which is a pain and they go the extra mile to still work on it and it’s very appreciated!! They also have a new system where you can view your balance & approve repairs so there is no surprises. Definitely recommend going here rather than MINI of Stevens Creek..thanks guys!

Well I went to nates smith because my brake malfunction light came on. At the same time it started to rain as I was driving there. I put on my wipers on all of a sudden the wipers were falling apart making it difficult to see and drive. Good thing nates had wipers available and the guy rigo put them on right away and made it possible to drive home. Now I have to make appointment to check my brake malfunction. I like the way Blake and Rigo handle the problems with care. Thank you Nate Smith team

Having Optimal Auto trouble shoot and actually find out and correct the problems my little old car had is comforting to know that the work done was handled in a professional manner and solved all the needs of my vehicle. I depend on the staff and techs at Optimal Auto to keep my vehicle running smoothly. The staff and owners are friendly and know what they're talking about. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Knowledgeable and professional service staff. Excellent customer service.

The best BMW auto repair around. Technically competent, explain everything, on time, easy to schedule. Kind and professional. The only place I'll take my 435i!
