Best service, and best prices, in Santa Cruz. A shop filled with skilled people that want to get you back on the road efficiently. Ask for Vanilla Thunder, he's one of the finest mechanics you'll ever meet.

I take my 2015 Sprinter van here. The staff is honest and down to earth and very knowledgeable on foreign vehicles. Highly recommend.

My Volvo was due for the first service post Warranty and I was indecisive as to continue with the dealer, or go local. My hubby has had excellent results when taking his Mercedes to AE, so I gave it a try. And... I've found my new service car care site. They provided friendly, prompt, immaculate service. And, actually less expensive than I was quoted! My Volvo's found her new service home!

Excellent experience. Easy to get appointment. Tyler was knowledgeable, helpful, kind and professional. Car was ready when promised. Price was fair. Will definitely be going in future!!

Alex did a professional job. I highly recommend him and also, Cesar very honest and reasonable prices. Awesome job.

Excellent and versatile garage. Friendly and highly skilled. A very large BMW dealer had essentially written off my 328i concluding it required a major engine repair. But they were wrong; AE quickly determined the real problem and it ran well for years after. Most recently, AE has been taking great care of my RAM 1500.

Fair prices, great work, wonderful and professional customer treatment (including for young, female customers). Parking is mostly out front on the street. Has a customer bathroom and a waiting area. They also give customers free rides to and from wherever they need to go while their car is in the shop.

Honestly wish i could give AE 100/100. I brought my car here in literal shambles .Tyler and Jeremy squeezed me in and got my car in top notch condition . I wanted to cry when i drove it because it feels new and incredible . They are honest, humble and do straight amazing work. If you need work done go here , take my word for it!!!🤘🏽✔️❣️

I trust the techs at AE Motorsports more than I’ve trusted any mechanic in the past. They are honest and get work done quickly. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciate having a mechanic I can trust.

These dudes are cool AF. They have 5 stars for a reason. I've never found another team of people like them. From trust, to price and everything in between, AE MOTORSPORTS has shown me fairness and honestly for many years. I'm bummed they don't work on Fords. It almost makes me want to have my POS VW back. Love you guys!

These guys are the best. Hands down. Knowledgeable, do great work, and are super friendly. I take my 2014 Audi S4 here, and they keep her running great!

They have been great to work with on multiple of our vehicles

The guys over at AE are solid. They exclusively handle my wife’s Prius and my Chevy Silverado. Kyle and Noah will take care of you. They are honest and transparent about their prices. They are not the cheapest but they have reasonable pricing.

Amazing service, really wonderful people. I had an issue with several lights on my VW jetta car (two turn signals, two headlights, and a tail light) going out on my car and periodically coming back on (depending on if I hit bumps / potholes). Service techs at the VW dealership were unable to diagnose the problem because it wasn't "by the book" and it wasn't easy to replicate (they were nice, but diagnostic is $160 and they still couldn't figure it out). Called ahead and AE Motorsports said they'd take a look but weren't sure how long they would need the car to figure it out. My boyfriend took the car to drop it off, and they said "we're just going to try to replace this fuse since sometimes with this model of jetta, they overheat and the fuse blows and this can happen" and they replaced it in all of 2 minutes of work and fixed the problem! They refused to take any payment for this since it was so little work for them, which I think says A LOT about the character of the people who work here. To be both really good at what they do and to be gracious and kind in their work is a really special combination, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND their services, especially if you have a tricky European car like a VW. Thank you so much!!

SUPER helpful staff. Tyler really took care of me today! Brought in a used car for a full inspection. Inspection was very thorough. Exactly what I needed.

Simple and to the point. A&E play fair. No B.S., no razzle dazzle. Car arrives in need of repair car leaves repaired. No drama, no flimflam shuffle. Done right the first time and their prices are competitive. Jeremy and his team will be your repair shop after you try them once. Honest and straight forward.

The front guys are awesome . But the mechanic that worked on my car missed things . 2200 plus 450 and check engine light still coming on. Finally spent another 800 and took it somewhere else problem solved.

They are the kindest, most professional, and honest people (not just mechanics) you will ever meet. I took my car there to fix a reacurring misfire issue and they had it up and running far faster than what I expected. For any questions I have about my car they are always more than happy to help and give incredibly insightful and useful advice for free. I even showed up a few minutes after they closed one day and they still helped solve a problem I was having. They will always be the first people I take my car to and I know I will be treated with respect and my car will be as healthy as ever.

This place is great. They do quality work at fair prices. I check RepairPal for cost estimates for everything here and they've always been within the fair market range of this area.

Awesome!!!

My favorite car shop in town. They work hard to take care of your problems and are just genuinely some of the nicest mechanics I’ve met. Great service, great customer support.
