Ok...we were driving to camp at the beach. On the way my husband accidentally put GAS in our DIESEL tank!! We didn't figure it out for about 30 minutes. I frantically looked for a mechanic in route. Found Airport Automotive and boy were we ever glad!! Ryan told us to drive right over and he would take care of us. He and his crew had us taken care of pretty quickly and back on the road. What more could we ask for? Vacation saved! Thanks, guys! read more

I am a new customer for this auto shop in Watsonville. My son's older minivan (with a new baby in tow) had an oil and a cooling problem. I would usually have brought the vehicle to my preferred shop up in Santa Cruz but the van was down in south County. The service was impeccable, they took the payment from me over the phone AFTER they had released the car to my son. Everything worked out perfectly. You can't go wrong with these guys. read more

Ryan Hart, Owner and lead mechanic of Airport Automotive is one of a kind. His philosophy of excellent work at fair prices is the the cornerstone of his success. When I brought my car to him with a shreaded clutch, thats exactly what he delivered. I was all about saving money on my repairs and had even picked out a cheep clutch on the internet to use. Ryan, being a forward thinker explained that good quality OEM products were the best route to go. Not despite my cars age and mileage but because of it. When ryan quoted me a price, the price included everythin that needed to be addressed for that job. Foreseeable or not. So I paid my estimateted price and was not upsold on a bunch of other things I did not yet need or want. No surprises when the final bill came. I was however told that in the near future i would have to do my btakes, so i can start saving money for that day. I love that. The car runs like a dream..... for a car from the 1990s.... what more can I ask? Ryans only areas to work on, in my opinion are communication skills with the customer. My car was finished a couple days later than promised, mainly due to lack of help and a large work load. I would have liked a call or text befire going down to pick up car abd finding it not completed. Maybe if he spent 15 munutes at the end of a day calling and updating customers on thiere cars would be a solution. But the bottom line is when the car got back to me it was running ..... much better than it ever ran for me.... the price was exactly what we had discussed prior to the work being started. No hidden costs or fees. But with many extras as far as the true care and experience Ryan and his staff gave to my car. And really, thats all I can I need. If you have car repairs to do and want to know you are getting the best quaulity parts and labor for a very fair price from an honest mechanic., Airport Automotive is your cars new home away from home. Long live Airport Automotive. And thanks Ryan for an excelkent job! I WILL be back! read more

Ryan is the biggest crook in town. By far the most irresponsible and unprofessional mechanic I've ever dealt with. Please do yourself a favor and don't go to this shop ever unless you want your car to be hacked at and broken. He's a liar and he will do you dirty and on top of that he's not even a licensed mechanic. Hope this shop goes out of business read more

Ryan the mechanic took great care of me while I was there, I had an injector go out of my dodge diesel truck. We talked about it and with his recommendation I told him to put a whole set in it, I even opted for more expensive industrial injector 50 horsepower injectors. He got the truck running, I drove it back to my home in Ohio and then to work in Maryland. Upon arriving in Maryland the truck messed up again and I took it to another shop. The shop pulled the injectors to find out he had only replaced one with a stock one. A stock remanufactured injector runs about $400-$500 and he charged me $2,500 for a full set plus the labor of changing them all, $3,800 in total. I have tried to contact him many times, before I figured out what he did I asked for the paper work on them and he said he would get it and send it to me. Now he will not even answer my calls. I am now forced to contact a Lawyer and the better business bureau! Please do not let this happen to you, he was very nice and helpful while I was there and I never imagined things would end up like this!!! read more

Airport Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Watsonville, California

They have a customer for life. I broke down at 7-11 across the street just happened to notice their shop. Ryan the owner came over looked over my car got it to his shop while another employee gave me a ride to my backup car since I was late in picking up my son. He had it fixed the same day and the best customer service you could ask for. They went way out of their way for me and that means a lot these days. Not the usual service I've been noticing in every industry where someone drops the ball and you have to take it into your own hands to do that persons job. My car runs great I recommend them to any and everyone I know. Thanks Ryan & Crew!!!!! read more
