Our story
We're a father and son team who have been fixing cars on Soquel Avenue for over two decades. Saul opened the shop years ago, and today his son Erik works right alongside him, keeping that same hands-on approach to every repair.
We tell customers what their vehicle actually needs, not what pads our bill. If a repair can wait, or a used part will do the job just as well as new, we'll say so. Our customers stick with us for years because they leave knowing exactly what happened to their car and why.
What customers say
“Erik and his Dad are great! Trustworthy and honest, and they never make us feel bad if we don't immediately decide to proceed with any work there. My boyfriend and I have taken both our cars there multiple times and they have dealt with a lot between the two yet are always respectful and polite! Genuinely nice people who want to help.”
“They're amazing. Super honest. Been going to them for over 20 years, ever since I first got my license. Once had an undrivable car because while doing a sharp turn on the pullout of a dark road to turn around, I drove over a boulder the size of a basketball. Charged me $40 to fix the car. Just used a crowbar to straighten shifting forks. Super great guys and never have problems after a fix.”
“Saul (owner) is the nicest, most honest person. Never any BS, he tells you what your vehicle actually needs and doesn't try to upsell you anything that your vehicle doesn't need! I've been taking my vehicles to him for over 15 yrs. Haven't had a bad experience, I leave there with confidence that my vehicle has gotten great care!”
