Santa Cruz Auto Repair

I have n 05 Mini S! I would not take it to anyone else. Nate and his shop are what SC is all about. Family run High Quality service!

Great service! Nate’s has kept the Mini humming along...gonna make it to 100k miles! Always an honest assessment of what the car needs.

Nate Smith is an honest businessman and does his best to explain the issues with your car at a level you can understand. They work with you to understand the seriousness of the issue and always per-authorize the work needed to your car.

After many years of being very pleased with the friendly but professional service I would not dream of going anywhere else

I have known Nate and Meg for over 15 years from servicing my 2000 BMW 740I after out of warranty. He has been a total pro regarding knowledge of BMW's and a great trouble shooter! He helped get me a less expensive option on fixing my sound system (I saved about $1500. I also can't say enough about the integrity of the man, I always feel he is looking after my needs like a friend, that he is. Meg always has some treat for me when I come in and is also very helpful and friendly. I give them my best rating!

I'm a younger guy and it's hard to find a mechanic that will take less experienced car guys seriously. Nate treats me with a respect I feel that I don't get at any other place. Not to mention the exceptional and fast service with frequent status updates. I will be taking my BMW back here.

I always have a very good experience when I bring my car to Nate at optimal auto care. There a very professional organization with a hometown feel . Their technicians Are experienced and well qualified . They provide great customer service you can’t go wrong bringing your car there for any necessary car repair no matter how big or small

Thanks so much to all of you at Nates Your Awesome!!!

super easy, super friendly

Nate and Meg at Optimal are so customer oriented. My wife needed a smog check which is something Optimal does not do. Optimal arranged the check, took her car to the nearby facility, made her comfortable waiting and retrieved her car all for the customary fee. GREAT PEOPLE!
