Took my camper van ford transit 2019 there to check my tires to see if I needed to get new tires and or alignment. Upon inspection of my tires Chris notified me they look good and then offered to check the pressure because I do not have a tire pressure management system. Everything checked out and I was on my way. I’ll definitely come back and buy my tires here as well as take my other cars for their mechanical needs. Santa Cruz Tire and Auto was referred to me Amcco and is very honest hard to find these days.

Santa Cruz Tire & Auto has always been reliable, quick, and fairly priced! I have taken my cars to this establishment over the years, and always feel comfortable and well taken care of. They have given me honest feedback and knocked off costs for various services. I appreciate their professionalism and also their person-centered approach. Thank you!

Chris and his team have been great in helping us figure out issues with our high mile Ford Transit. They completed an engine replacement and have been straightforward when other challenges were beyond their capacity. I’ve called Chris several times to troubleshoot various issues and he’s always been helpful and patient. The rest of the team has always been really great at communicating any updates and the whole crew is incredibly helpful.

After a less than satisfied experience, the merchant reached out and adjusted my service invoice in a very generous and courteous manner, He specifically expressed that my patronage and understanding were important to him I appreciate him doing so. And because he did I will strongly consider to do business here Thank you,- .J.T.

So impressed with this place. My car broke down during a long trip and they made an effort to be able to help me that same day. Extremely polite and helpful staff, transparent service (they let me take pictures of before and after the repair). So thankful for their help.

I went for a smog certificate. Use first-come-first-serve scheduling for smog. Got right in. Very friendly staff. Well organized and efficient. Reasonable price too. The shop I formerly used had been closed due to death of owner so I checked out alternatives and chose this place. It's better than my usual shop actually so will always use in the future. I gave up my Costco membership and intend to use this shop for tires in the future as well. Very easy access right off the freeway. They carry Michelin, which I use, and other brands, so I'm all set with that. My first impression from this visit is excellent. The business has been remodeled so my newer photos apply.
