About Our Shop in Santa Cruz, CA
Over 40 Years of Automotive Excellence — Catalpa Street Garage
Our Story
Catalpa Street Garage started serving the Santa Cruz, California community in 1978. This family-owned business focused solely on BMW repairs for many years before expanding the service line to include MINI Coopers. In late 2020, the business sold to our current owner, Vic Leon, an ASE-certified Master Technician with over 20 years of experience. Vic wanted to maintain the shop’s charm, focus, and history, but he knew there was so much more he could do to improve his customers’ experience. With support from his family and long-time staff members, he was able to offer his customers the ability to service the majority of vehicle brands his customers owned, not only being a BMW and Mini Cooper specialty shop but aiming to be Santa Cruz’s premier Automotive repair shop. If your BMW, MINI, or other European car needs maintenance or repairs, make your next appointment by either using our online scheduling tool or giving us a call at(831) 464-2269.
