Our story
About The Shop Automotive Repair
We believe a repair shop should tell you the truth, not just plug you into a computer and guess. Curtis grew up around cars, and it shows in how quickly he can listen to a problem, ask the right questions, and know what's actually wrong.
No upsells, no runaround. Customers come to us after getting quoted big money for a simple diagnostic somewhere else, and leave with an honest answer and a fair price. Whether it's a check engine light, an oil change, or something bigger, we do it right the first time.
We're proud to be the shop Santa Cruz drivers trust when they want a real mechanic instead of a sales pitch.
- Straight talk diagnostics
- Fast, in and out service
- Fair, transparent pricing
- Personal service from Curtis
What customers say
“Curtis grew up around cars. He cares about what he does and always does what's right for the customer. Old fashioned service with the knowledge to fix your vehicle right the first time. Best repair shop in all of Santa Cruz.”
“I pull in and an actual auto mechanic, Curtis, comes out, listens to it, asks a few questions, checks a couple things, and in less than 10 minutes lets me know what's wrong. Great! I found a real mechanic, Bravo!!! Thanks Curtis!”
“Great service, professional and clearly knows what he's doing. Super quick, was in and out in 20 min. Came in with my check engine light on, got a full diagnosis, oil change and my tires filled. Definitely would recommend!”
