Default Santa Cruz Area S2K Mechanic

I'm in the Santa Cruz area and need a good S2K mechanic that isn't quite so far away as the South Bay suggestions I've gotten thus far. Also, my work schedule is 12-16hr days M-F (and some weekends too, damn you boss!) so a place that is open on weekends really would be nice.


Any tips?

Thanks,

-Brett

Honestly, you're probably looking at Ocean Honda. I've been to Rustys and they are dishonest crooks, despite all the good reviews you will see. They'll lie to your face about the condition of your parts in order to try to sell you more services.

Other than that, it's worth the drive to Blacktrax in Milpitas.

Yeah, I guess it's either DIY or a bit of a drive (and taking a day off work). Thus far I'm finding this car a joy to work on, which is fortunate since it seems it'll be me doing most of the maintenance!

It's a long haul but going to joeys may become an option. His night hours will let you avoid having to take time off work. I work a 12 hour shift then go to joeys 45 minute drive one way.

Yup, easiest car to work on that I've ever owned!
