Classic Honda

I brought '97 CRV to Paul on short notice. It needed a new radiator and a tune up for starters and might have had other problems. My son in Portland, OR had totaled his car so he needed transportation soon. Paul was able to replace the radiator, complete the tune up - with some extras (new valve cover and water pump). Plus he replaced the front brake shoes and insured that everything was in good working order. This wall all completed in a day and half for $740. The car made the trip to Portland and ran like a top. My son's been driving it for six weeks since then and it runs great. Paul is a truly fine mechanic. Pros: prompt, conscientious cost-saving repair more

Paul at Classic Honda is the man. You might not immediately guess it from his humble shop which is tucked away in a side street of Santa Cruz, but he is one of the best (if not the best) mechanics I've ever encountered. He's everything I stated in the 'pros' section and more. Don't ever go anywhere else, especially if you own a late model Honda - he's an expert. Pros: Honest, reliable, knowledgeable, enthusiastic Cons: Haven't found any yet more

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

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 more

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 more

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. more

He's a great mechanic all around. Trustworthy, cares about your car, and save you all the money possibly can. Take your car there! Pros: everything Cons: nothing more

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. more

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. more

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

Paul at Classic Honda is a stand up guy he will find the problem and fix it for the right price I highly recommend him more

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. more

Paul helped me out from a rock and a hard place. My starter quit on me at 5:45pm on a Friday night, it was fixed and ready to go for an industry-low price within 2 hours. He is the most skilled, honest and fair-priced mechanic I have ever come across and I worked in a shop for years. Thumbs up!! Pros: Speed, Price, Efficiency more

Classic honda's Paul is awesome. He's the best honda mechanic in town. Definately takes the time to explain whats going on in terms you actually understand. Paul puts 110% into his work and I'd recommend him to anyone. Thank you. Pros: expertise, personable, fair price more
