Welcome to Water Star Motors - the Best Auto Repair Shop in Santa Cruz!

Henry, Lisa of Water Star Motors
Water Star Motors is a family owned and operated auto repair shop servicing cars in Santa Cruz since 1993. We have a reputation for quality, honesty and dependability. We are a mechanically, spiritually and environmentally conscious auto repair shop. We are here to ensure your confidence and pleasure in your vehicle's performance and reliability.

We service all European and Japanese vehicles — specializing in Mercedes-Benz. Our mechanics are all ASE Certified, and we strive to maintain the highest levels of professional courtesy and quality customer service. We have the Mercedes Factory Equipment for diagnosis and repair.

We provide smog checks, regular maintenance, and a full service auto repair shop for Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Mazda, Saab, Honda, Mitsubishi, Infinity, Acura, Nissan, Isuzu, Toyota, Mini Cooper, and Jaguar.

    Our family-owned business has primarily been built by word of mouth and a reputation for quality, honesty and dependability. Besides really caring about each customer and their vehicle(s), here are some things which set us apart from other auto repair shops:
    • We are a Green Business — and stay green daily.
    • We promote sustainable, environmentally friendly programs in our community such as the use of Bio-Diesel, Hybrids, Ethanol and Electric Cars.
    • We are a husband and wife team who work together in harmony 24 hours a day — along with our son.
    • We really like what we do and are excellent problem solvers. Other shops and people call us from all over the United States for help.
    • We look thoroughly at your car and advise you on problems we discover according to a priority of safety, reliability, economy, convenience and then appearance.
    • We stay current with technology, tools and training.
    • We like to educate the public about how cars work (see our blog, The Sage Mechanic, as well as "Rock, Paper, Car" in the Metro; De-Mystify Your Vehicle Workshops; "If Your Car Could Talk Show").
    • We strive to maintain the highest levels of professional courtesy and customer service while having fun.
    • We are Your Serene, Green, Auto Repair Team!

     "It's always a pleasure to go to Water Star - service is great, timely, and I always feel like I get at least as much info as possible to understand what is happening with my Mini. Everyone is friendly and gracious. Thank you Water Star! "-Joya B.
