Service Super Exceed

by Dewy22

Arrived in town the night before with blue smoke fuming out the exhaust and no guts for acceleration.

I found Pauls # on line and called early in the morning.

Showed up an half hour later.

And left within a couple hours - superstoked!

I have a diesel Mitsubishi van that no one in town wanted to touch and Paul was willing and able to go the distance.

An outstanding Dude!

Honesty in Santa Cruz

by kevinrey

My car wouldn't start. It was diagnosed and repaired within an hour. The service was excellent and affordable. At no time did I feel that I was being swindled. I would recommend Paul to anyone and have already recommended him to my family.

• Pros: fast affordable and honest
• Cons: none

Don't go anywhere else

by Wingnut10

Paul is professional and courteous. He explained what my car needed in detail, and insisted on showing me the replaced parts. If you want an honest and reasonable shop for your Honda, please go to Paul.

• Pros: Honesty...which is hard to find

Great, honest service

by btener

Over the years I had come to expect major rip-offs from Santa Cruz auto repair shops. Classic Honda was the first and only place that worked hard and actually tried to help me save money. He finished doing my brakes and changing my oil in under two hours as well.

• Pros: Just about everything.
• Cons: Hard to find...but keep looking.

Very Helpful, Resourceful Mechanic

by jsobolew

We were on vacation taking a peek at our seemingly small car troubles, when Paul pulled up next to us and noticed some very vital problems and offered to help us out in anyway he could without hesitation. He even took it upon himself check a nearby store for auto parts. Even though everything was closed due to the weekend he still was able to pull together all he had to stabilize our issues and get us back home safely. He was informative, and considerate, and Paul even called us a couple hours later to see how things were coming along. He had originally told us that he had a reputation for saving his customers money, and that he would never present any hidden fees; we found this to be true. He really knows how to work with whatever situation he has to get you a good result.

Craftsman Service

by ghnelson

Luckily, I did a web search on Honda service and read these reviews. My daughter goes to school in Oregon and suddenly needed her car to travel to frequent medical appointments.

The car had lots of "deferred maintainance" problems....

I took it to Paul and he went over it top to bottom. He didnt replace anything he didnt need to and his rate was very reasonable for the time and effort he put into it.

I drove it up to Oregon 2 months ago and it has been performing flawlessly since.

Paul is a rarity these days... a craftsman mechanic. I knew mechanics like him back in the day, but increasingly, automotive service has become another commodity to be time and cost managed.

Recommended without reservation!

A Truly Great Mechanic!

I have been going to Paul for nearly 8 years now and I am

proud to say he's my mechanic. He's honest, caring and a very hard worker.

As a women it is important to find a mechanice you can trust and Paul fits the bill.

Great Services, Great Price

by shuadean

Having my Honda repaired by Paul was a great experience. Like most people, I'm wary of mechanics in general. After meeting Paul, however, it was clear to me that he was an honest and straightforward guy. He diagnosed the problem extremely quickly, and then told me exactly what he was going to do fix it, why it was necessary, how much it would cost, and how long it would take. He followed through on everything he said, except for the price actually working out to be slightly lower than he originally quoted. I strongly recommend that you take your car, even if not a Honda, to Paul.

• Pros: Great communication, great prices, all around great service.
• Cons: As far as mechanics go, I can't name a con with Paul at Classic Honda.
