Hidden Valley Automotive

Owner and technician Dick Guider first opened the doors of Hidden Valley Automotive in 1978. As the oldest, continually owned full-service automotive facility in Scotts Valley, generations of local residents have come to depend on Hidden Valley to keep their vehicles safe, reliable, and performing efficiently. Hidden Valley Automotive Scotts Valley offers the fairest pricing in the area, and long-time clients truly know they are getting the best auto work for a reasonable price. As competitive as the auto service and repair industry has always been, Dick believes, past and present, their work speaks for themselves — and that's how new customers find them. An example of that good pricing is that if a job calls for four hours and they finish it in two, you'll will only be charged for two hours. It's rare you'll find that same neighborly pricing from other repair shops, certainly not at the dealer. Just as most of their clientele reside in Scotts Valley, so do Hidden Valley's staff. And the last thing they want to see, or hear of, is a client with car problems after they've performed work on that vehicle. Hidden Valley's technicians take pride in "getting it right the first time." Whether it's complete car maintenance, or minor to major repairs, your vehicle will receive the same proper attention from the technicians as if it were their mother's car. "Years back, Hidden Valley did a complete engine rebuild on my Porsche, and at a very fair price — it's great that they have their own machine shop. Recently, my Honda Accord developed a slight shifting problem. I thought I would need to go to a Scotts Valley transmission repair shop, but I thought I would first speak with Dick. Glad I did. First he did a test drive — they are known for diagnosing engine problems and transmission problems. They found the problem rather quickly. It was the solenoid pack that needed replacing, and it only cost me about $285. These guys are honest and great car mechanics!"

I have been going to Hidden Valley for 30 years and I have always been thoroughly happy with their service. They have fixed every problem with all of the vehicles in the family. They are so easy to work with and are really nice people. They have won my loyalty.

My 2014 Mini runs like new! Hidden Valley seems to be one of a few auto shops near Santa Cruz who understand Minis. Old school shop, excellent service and a lot easier than going to the Mini dealer.

Best Shop. I have taken several different vehicles here numerous times, always happy with their service. They won't upsell or give me stuff I don't need; they give me what I ask for and make recommendations when appropriate. Trustworthy, reasonable, reliable. Not affiliated in any way.
