Santa Cruz Auto Repair

I have finally found my Auto Care place! My first visit on Tuesday was the best customer service satisfaction I have received. From the initial phone call with Blake who found me a spot to have my car serviced as I was leaving town. Plus the continued first class service from him when I dropped it off to picking it up. Everybody was friendly and professional. I highly recommend Nate Smith's Optimal Auto Care they are the best!!

Our family has been going to Nate’s since 1999. Always a great experience, with talented and professional staff and mechanics. Nate and his staff always looks out for our best interest. We highly recommend this shop.

I have been using Optimal Auto for several years for my 2003 540i. The biggest reason I have kept this older high mileage car on the road is the security of having highly skilled people work on it when I need repairs at responsible prices. You get personal service from owners that are hands on and right there at the front counter that remember your name. Try em

I have visited Optimal Auto twice with my BMW. I have found them to be helpful in answering my questions and the service is always done in a timely manner. It is nice to feel I am working with people I can trust.

The Optimal team is awesome. They are always fair, friendly, and trustworthy. Can’t say more that I’m very satisfied with their service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great people, very honest and forward with how you'd like to proceed! Would definitely recommend. And their friendly greeting doggo at the front door lightens the mood of bringing your car to the shop 😄 And discounts on their website are great additions!

Great service. Polite & professional. My car overheated on my trip from SF down to LA. Just glad that it was a radiator hose that needed replacing and nothing more major. Blake and Shelly took good care of me. I appreciated the quick turnaround. They got me back on the road the same day. Thank you! 😊

In Santa Cruz as a Sonoma County fire evacuee and needed auto service on short notice. Optimal provided flawless same-day service.

I love the friendly service I always receive AND they always do a great job of fixing my car!

Awesome service! We bring our Mini Cooper here for oil changes and service - Nate does a wonderful job of making sure everything is taken care of, and does NOT overcharge. Great service! Great prices!
