Water Star Motors is superb!! I 100% recommend them and will be taking all my auto needs there in the future! My Jeep randomly powered off while I was at a stoplight which of course was concerning, yet despite a check engine light coming on and off, the hand held scanners I tired didn't show any malfunction code...was a bit of a mystery. Then it happened again, this time while driving and no check engine light! It was time to take it in though I didn't yet know of a trusted mechanic here in Santa Cruz so was really feeling the stress! After calling a couple shops in town, I chose to go with Water Star Motors based on their customer service over the phone, great reviews I read, the fact that they are a AAA rated and green biz practicing sustainability, how quickly they could get my Jeep in for a diagnostic, and assurance of working with my third party warranty company. I also love that they are a family owned business here in Santa Cruz for over 26 years! I really appreciated the manager, Kristen, who I spoke with a couple of times before even bringing my Jeep in as I had heaps of questions- which she kindly and respectfully answered. When I choose somewhere to take my car how I'm treated as the customer is so important, and Kristen was wonderful...kind, knowledgeable, informative, helpful in explaining the process, friendly and funny! She had a way of putting me at ease in a stressful situation which I am so grateful for! I also spoke with Jaya, one of the mechanics, after the diagnostic who was equally kind, helpful, patient with my questions, and explained all my options so well. What an amazing team! They received my Jeep from the tow truck driver without me there, and the diagnostic, repair and oil change were done in a day. The third party warranty coverage was sorted with no problems, and I was greeted with genuine smiles and care when I arrived to pick up my Jeep. All is well on the road again and I have Water Star Motors to thank! OH, and did you know they offer a 3 year/36K mile warranty on their work?! Do yourself a favor and make them your trusted auto shop too! They really do care about their customers! Much gratitude :)
