Santa Cruz Imported Truck Service

If you have an import that needs service and are looking for a down to earth family business that you can trust, give Marty, Sue and Denver a call.
I’ve been a customer for about 5 years and every time I come in they provide excellent customer service and amazing quality repairs. While other repair shops will attempt to nickel and dime you, SCITS is fair and honest. I have a 98 4Runner with 217K on the clock, and while I was contemplating letting it go for something newer and flashier, they’re collective two cents helped me decide to keep it. Instead of pushing me to get this and that repaired, they were honest about what the car really needed; they were able to relate to the idea of wanting to fall in love with my car again. I won’t take my 4Runner anywhere else.
And dog friendly! AND they’ll geek out on mountain bikes with you!

These guys did an unbelievable job with my 05 Tacoma. I had a transmission fluid flush and mentioned at the same time a vibration coming from the drive train. They diagnosed it as the rear U joint and replaced it for $ 115 parts and labor.
The whole truck was done while I was at work. Easy 1 day fix.
They are also very helpful and courteous

I actually look forward to working with these guys.
Seriously. I hate finding car mechanics. I always feel like I’m going to get ripped off. Either directly, by being overcharged, or indirectly, as they chase problems endlessly without finding the actual issue.
I started with these guys working on my Isuzu Trooper, and have started bringing my Lexus to them as well. It’s often less expensive that I thought it was going to be, and I always get to talk to someone who actually worked on my car, not some CSR who doesn’t know much about cars, and only serves to filter information.
These guys are honest, competent, and fairly priced

Great, caring family business. Marty and his team worked super hard to figure out and fix a mysterious idling problem with my 99 Honda Civic. Thanks for all the help, guys!

Great family business, they really care, and there’s no BS! Amazing place to get your truck fixed!!!

My girlfriend and I came here to investigate an interesting noise her Honda Accord made whenever she turned. It ended up being her car was leaking power steering fluid, and the repairs would cost over a grand. The owners were more than forthcoming about this, and suggests that we hold off on the repairs, and just replace our fluids a bit more often than we usually did, as the leak wasn’t that bad, and we could probably last a while without the repairs.
We left the car overnight, they took it up to examine the whole thing, they replaced our power steering fluid, and gave us extensive advice. When we finally went to pay, we were expecting (and would have been happy to pay) around $ 75 for the full inspection, plus us taking up a spot in their garage over night. But they only charged us $ 20, even WITH the fluid they used for our car. We were so happy with them (plus these people were so genuinely nice through the whole experience), that we knew right then and there that we would ONLY go to this repair shop from now on.
It’s been nearly 3 months, and our car hasn’t had any issues (so their advice must have been pretty sound). These people’s advice saved us a thousand dollars we would have paid if going to a less honest repair shop. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

I will always buy cars they can fix, because I will never go without them. These men are a gals best friends. They are honest, will never swindle or «up-​sale» you. I honesty can’t say enough… The Best!

The best mechanics! The nicest people! Dog friendly! Great prices and great service! You can’t ask for more!!!

This is the best auto repair shop I have ever worked with. Family owned and run. They are extremely competent, knowledgable, organized, and very fairly priced. It’s a pleasure bringing the car in for any repair.

I’ve been going here long time; And very few problems.

I’ve been going here for years with various Japanese-​made cars (they’re not limited to working on trucks). Marty and Denver are completely honest and trustworthy and know their stuff. They are also loyal to their customers – there for you when you really need them (like this week when my starter motor faile

Very nice and honest people. These guys won’t steer you in the wrong direction or overcharge you. I will gladly support this shop.

This is the ONLY place I will take my little Rav4! Great service, good prices and nice people. I have never been BSed into getting something that my car did not need.
It is a little hard to get an appointment here sometimes, BUT I am always willing to wait to have these guys work on my car.
