Affordable Repair Paint & Body 1025 Water Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95062

"We were visiting Santa Cruz, our a/c compressor broke on a Saturday. All the mechanics were closing or were already closed for the weekend. They were closing but Tony was able to diagnose the problem, order the part, drove us to where we needed to be and was so kind. He went out of his way to help us and was very hard working. He was AMAZING. Very honest and fair. He helped this stranded family of 7 be able to get home safely and quickly. We're so grateful for him. He was the only place that didn't turn us away when they were closing and went above and beyond. I hope you come here for anything you may need for your car. They were great."

"this shop is a crook everyone look out they stole our headlight by ordering it and giving us a bad check scums like these try to get the better ill make sure no other wrecking yard works with these crooks"

"I was distressed late last night after my car overheated on the highway. A kind gentleman who helped me told me I needed a new coolant reservoir. He temporarily fixed it so that I could make my way to AutoZone. I purchased the part there and they told me about Affordable Repairs. I called them first thing this morning and I spoke to Tony and he told me if I already had the part I could be in and out within a half hour. And that’s exactly what happened. I brought my car and the part in and it was done within 30 minutes. The staff is friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I have a 2002 Mazda that’s getting really old and I definitely will go back to Affordable Repairs for all her future services/repairs."

"I almost feel it would take longer to write up all the issues than it took them to do the damage. Starting with the little things: Telling a customer to come at 0800 and not showing up until almost 40 minutes later, the more serious things: Hatch mis-adjusted so badly it bent the latch and wouldn't unlatch, lots of sanding dust inside the car, so much that it got inside my power window control switches and I had to replace one, overspray on places that shouldn't be painted, damaged trim, runs and drips in the clear-coat (they did offer to fix it after a week when it cured, but it should not have been there to begin with), body filler is a bit wavy. Then the actual serious issues: it's the wrong color! Paint a test panel for the love of... anyway, on a difficult to match paint color there is no excuse for not painting a test panel before committing to a color. You can't un-paint something so it's going to cost me several times what they charged to fix that carelessness. Painting the whole panel jamb-to-jamb was perhaps the worst issue rather than blending the new paint to the old. All that said, if you need basic repairs in a simple, solid color and price is your main driver, and you aren't going to look too closely, they were cheap and quick."

"Found out what was wrong with my car when other garages had not! Kept hearing sounds, was told just normal sounds, but kept hearing them. They tracked down the sounds: they could hear 3 of them! Wasn't just me! And they fixed what was wrong for a reasonable price! Now have a new water pump and idler belts with part ordered that need for brakes."
