Santa Cruz Auto Repair

Went in to fix a flat - Isaac quickly took a look at it and repaired it. Also let me know about a problem he saw with the axle boot leaking - he let me know it wasn't an emergency but something to take care of before it becomes a problem. Very professional. If I lived in Santa Cruz I would definitely come here for service.

Isaac is very professional, competent and a kind person. Just to mention a recent story, about 6 months ago I had a flat tire on my wife's car. I had to run to work... my wife was 6 months pregnant. Isaac drove to my house, collected the car, repaired the tire and did not even wanted to charge for the repair.

Gud.people and Gud work

Went for an oil change and new break pads they made fast and easy like it.

Issac is the best! Been going to him for over 15 years and he has always been honest and affordable.

Flat tire; left it; fixed on a busy Saturday in about 3 hours.

They did the job and they did it well. I haven't had any issues sense, though it was just a tire alignment and an oil change, as well as a repaired gasket, the total was around 375$ which is a bit steep which is why i rated 4/5 instead of 5/5

Disregard all the negative reviews. Issac is the most honest and helpful mechanic I have ever met in my life. People lack the patience or understanding of what it takes to get things done. His shop is very busy at times. I grew up in the garage with my dad rebuilding cars so I know my way around a shop and if someone is BS'ing me. Issac knows his craft like no other. Very few places I trust to touch my cars.When I lack the time or tools to get a job done this is my go to place. His rates are fair and just. He has spent many extra hours diagnosing issues with my car he didn't charge for. He goes above and beyond.I had a problematic Subaru legacy and I bought a used transmission through him. It went bad towards the end of the warranty and he replaced it free of charge except shipping costs! Now that's customer service.One morning last year I get in my car (2007 Mazdaspeed 6) to go to work and heard a clunk in the rear that sounded like a loose suspension part. Took it into his shop and he put it up on the rack right away, found the issue, and fixed it quickly. Turns out I didn't fully tighten the upper shock bolt when I installed my new coilovers.Another time my son and I were headed out to go camping in my truck. Stopped for gas then took off. Transmission started acting up. Swung by his shop and he read the code. I replaced the part and was on my way.

Great place for smog test! No hassle, no wait every time!

I recently had an issue with my ABS module and Isaac went above and beyond to help me come up with a solution that ended up saving me $300 over using the dealer. I was very impressed that he was willing to be so helpful and feel grateful for his extra time helping me to figure out the best way to manage the expensive service my car required. I highly recommend Isaac and this shop.
