Believe it or not, there really is still a friendly, neighborhood auto shop that will change your oil and give your car a once-over for a reasonable price. Even better, they did everything promptly and without the upselling of dubiously-required air filters we've all come to dread. I'm extremely pleased with my experience at SVTAC and will definitely be back.

The best mechanic shop l've found. Been coming here for about 5 years for everything from major transmission problems to just my oil changes. I love the detailed notes and report given after every visit. Fair pricing and honest, never upselling. I've double checked in with my best friends husband who owns a shop down south and he's always impressed also with all that l've mentioned above. I trust them 100%!

Top Rated Auto Repair Shop for Diesel Trucks! It is hard to find a shop that has solid professional knowledge on working with Diesel Trucks. We live in San Jose and have been looking for years for a reliable shop with reasonable rates for many years. We have been coming to Scotts Valley Transmission Shop for 2 years now. Started with a Transmission issue which they took care of right away and have not had any problems since. We were happy to find that they perform all Auto Repair Services for our routine maintenance on Diesels. We have been extremely satisfied with their team of Professional Auto Technicians, their friendly Customer Service and prices are more then fair. We have to drive a little but it is worth it and they have won our business. Highly Recommend them to all family and friends.

Go here if you want it done right the first time. This has been my "go to" auto shop for the past 6 or 7 years. They have always fixed the issue(s) correctly and in a good time frame. Brad is great with communicating what needs to be done, how long it will take and how much it will cost. Which is not always the case in the auto repair industry. You know this if you have ever taken your car to a dealership to get worked on. They are also very good with normal scheduled maintenance like tune ups or fluid changes. I never have any concerns after picking my vehicle up from them.

They are THE BEST, always try to save you money, and are completely honest! Saved us a ton of money by flushing the transmission instead of replacing it. It’s brand new now. Thanks Brad!

Highly recommend! Brad was knowledgeable, answered all my questions and explained all the details of the problem and the best solution. He was able to get my car in on short notice and was able to complete the repair same day. Will definitely return in the future.

Scotts Valley Transmission is the real deal, truly a rarity now days and simply exceptional. Brad and his team are great!!! A friend referred me and I will be returning. The young lady who answered the phone promptly scheduled me an appointment giving me multiple ways to drop my vehicle and options on dates. Upon arrival I was greeted, Brad took the time to educate me on what would be done, why it was needed and how to prevent problems in the future, all of this in a very honest way and in a fashion that I could actually understand. Truck was completed within the day just as quoted. Work performed was transmission fluid and filter exchange, oil change, and tire rotation. All of this was done for a very fair price and there were no surprises or gimmicks to try to get me to spend more. Straight up quality people doing quality work. Thank you SVTA !

Brad, the owner and Giselle the receptionist are the epitome of customer service. I can't guarantee they will always be able to do this, but right before 4th of July when I was coming back from a roadtrip, and my engine light came on. I called every shop in Santa Cruz for a rush job, and after being recommended SV Transmissions, I stopped by. Due to the holiday, if I didn't fix my car, I would be stuck for 3-4 days. Brad heard my conundrum and went right into action. He offered to diagnose right then and there and if he could fix it same day, he would. Exactly what happened! Affordable pricing given the rush job, and I am stoked because I found my main shop for this area now! Thanks Brad, thanks Giselle you guys are awesome.

I would highly recommend Scotts Valley Transmission & Auto Care for not only your Transmission needs but any of your auto needs. Brad and his crew were absolutely amazing. They helped every step of the way. I needed to have my car towed to them. After being diagnosed, Brad took the time to explain all option available and the pros and cons of each. Once the work was completed, he informed my that rear breaks needed to be replaced. They were able to complete that work in a quick and timely manner. So much so that I was out of town and had to leave my vehicle there for a few days, until I got home. Since I picked it up it has been running amazingly. Super happy. We will be using Scott’s Valley Transmission for all our needs. Thank you all again…

There were complications and they worked it all out at no additional charge and even washed my car when it was ready. These guys are honest and they get my highest rec!

I almost never write reviews, but I felt like I had to for this shop. It’s honestly one of the few places I’ve found that’s both trustworthy and well-priced. The team here is super honest — they actually take the time to explain what’s going on with your car in a way that makes sense, and they walk you through your options without any pressure or upselling.

Brad and his team saved my car!! Another shop had told me my car was done for. I thankfully came to Brad for a second opinion, and he totally fixed it for way less than expected. He also made me feel like family. I'm so grateful to have found SV Transmissions. They are honest, helpful and they really care. Highly reccommend. Thank you so much!

These guys are awesome!! Got a transmission fluid change and also asked for a check on a mysterious clunk that would occur when moving from a dead stop. They identified the issue immediately with a test drive and updated me with a lesser repair cost than what was expected. All in all, you will not find the same expertise they provide at the cost they charge. I had called a few other places in San Jose and Santa Cruz for price comparisons beforehand. I got my truck back in fantastic shape without draining my wallet, highly recommend this shop!!

They fixed my busted turn signal super quickly. They got the part ordered and fixed in 3 days and at a great price. I can’t recommend them enough.
