    If you're into cars or motorsports history, this is definitely a must see in northern california. Incredible show room, free museum, and kind staff.

    If you are a car lover this place is a great find! Off the beaten path in Scott's Valley is this hidden gem. They offer a variety of high end services for the auto enthusiast. What I love most about this place is the museum. It is impressive seeing all the race cars and specialty cars. They have a showroom downstairs, the museum is upstairs, and they just opened a new showroom across the street. If you go upstairs they have a catwalk through a door on the left that lets you see their shop and you can go take a peek at the mechanics working in their natural habitat. Like a zoo but instead of animals there are cars and instead of zookeepers there are mechanics. You never know what you will see. It's amazing!!! We make it a point to stop here every couple of months just to see what's new.

    Bruce you are a role model to set the bar for others to follow. As a car builder/restorer I was inspired from your examples from my building a 1967 spec trans am Camaro to a 1967 Porsche 911r clone restoration project after visiting your shop in Scotts Valley and talking to you in person at numerous events at Laguna seca.

    Completely loved this place. Very friendly employees and we learned so much for the museum and from the employees. Thank you!

    Had the privilege of taking a tour of Canepa and it was inspiring. Canepa is one of the only places that you'll be able to get up close and personal with history making vintage race cars, everything from Daytona to formula races. No wincing behind ropes, y'all, you can just hover! Cameras are very allowed. Honestly, these cars are insane. Their builds and their histories are entertaining and impressive. It is scary how fast these cars were, especially with the lack of safety regulations required in the past. The Canepa shop is impressive. They maintain, paint, manufacture, repair, and restore, nearly everything in house. They take so much pride in their name that purchasing a car gets extensive work in research. It's an awesome experience if you can stop by for a tour.

    Wooooooow.... At Monterey Car Week one year, we managed to catch the Mecum auction grounds completely empty. My friend and I spent a couple hours giving ourselves a private tour of some of the most spectacular cars on Earth, It was a day I thought might never be topped. Enter Canepa. I wanted to come here for ages, and setting foot inside the showroom delivered one of the most wonderful sights my retinas ever taken in. I was careful not to drool too much over all the Porsches on the ground floor - one better than the next - not to mention the spectacularly mint black Countach waving me over with one door up. We made our way upstairs and were greeted with a who's who of legendary racecars. If you're a sucker for historic moments and great stories, these cars will amaze you. The upper showroom is complete with informational posters and pictures from each car's races. What ended up being the most amazing part of all was going out onto the walkway which overlooks Canepa's shop. There, we spotted a couple 959's, a Countach, and a few other gems undergoing the world's best and most thorough cosmetic surgery. But...I could have never expected what I saw next. Behind the Porsches sat a legend. In a much less eye-catching but still beautiful color [dark grey] and partially-deconstructed yet still unmistakable: a Bugatti EB 110. I was floored. In a world flooded with exotic cars, this is one of the unicorns. My friend couldn't even see it ("All I see is a black blob"), while I was having a 5-year-old-with-the-best-Christmas-present-ever moment. That front end is iconic. Ugly-beautiful, yet majestic. As I was having my moment on the walkway, a man walked onto the shop floor. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I yelled out if I could possibly come see the Bugatti, and he obliged. That man was Marco, their Director of Sales, and I'm not sure he'll ever understand just how happy he made me and how many dreams were fulfilled (the shop floor delivers as much of a punch as the other two showrooms combined), and I am forever grateful. I will be back to see the EB in all its restored glory! And then cry when it gets sold for $1.5m. // EDIT: Before I could even publish this, I went back to check on the Bugatti; it's still in the works, but the Countach is nearing completion. The quality of work these guys do is bar-none. And they just had to send out an email with "deals" for the holidays... DON'T TEMPT ME!

    Cars & coffee

    Came here for the recent cars and coffee last weekend with my bf. My bf has been to cars and coffee before and is a huge fan, it was my first time. Before show room and tons to look at. If you're a car fan, make sure you make it to cars and coffee. It's nice that they allow you to walk throughout the whole property.

    Attended Coffee and Cars with a bunch of guys oohing and ahhing over the rare and exotics filling the showroom, shop and museum. The event was pretty awesome, especially for those in love with race car history and expensive classic cars. My favorite part was the guided tour. Super informative because I didn't have a clue what I was walking past. The historian had a booming voice and was a great story teller. Free coffee and doughnuts. They looked good,  but I didn't have any. Hoping to return for another guided tour because the inventory changes constantly depending on the cars they are working on and the cars on loan from other museums. One of Jerry Seinfeld's cars was there, too! Thanks, Canepa, for organizing such a fun event!

    The garage where they do surgery on your babies.

    This is a little hidden gem. The first floor is classic luxury vehicles for sale. No prices posted. If you have to ask the price .... well, you know the drill. The second floor is a museum. There is also a viewing area of the garage where they service all the high end luxury cars. The second Saturday of every month they do a special event and they open up the the back garage to the public. And it's all free.

    Awesome guide, John

Both experiences were delightful, stress free (who would associate stress-free when you buy a car?) and quick. No hassle car buying - that should be his business's title. He helped us narrow down the list of cars we were looking at and make a decision that worked for us. He also scheduled all the test drives, negotiated the prices, and pointed us to a specific person at the dealership, a complete VIP experience. He did the same for our friends just this week, they bought a great car in a great condition, he negotiated the price down and steered them away from less desirable options. My friend was nervous (just like I was before ) because the process of buying a car is stressful. But after they got into the dealership and the car was waiting for them, they test drove and bought the car. My friend said: who would have thought that I can enjoy buying a car! And that's all thanks to Jeremy. Believe me I'm not hyping him up, he is professional, kind and customer centric. Thank you Jeremy!

I trust the technician and drove to Scott's valley. Sure enough my light never turned off. I got worried and stopped at Skip's to check my tire pressure. Mike was so very kind and knowledgeable. He quickly inspected my tires. He assured me none of my tires were leaking. And when I asked about the light not turning off he try to reset it. He then tested the sensor and was able to let me know 3 out of 4 sensors were not being detected. And that I should be fine to drive home as none of the tires were leaking. But that I could get the sensors replaced/fixed at a later time since I was on my way out of town. He took the time to assure the safety of my tires and was patient in explaining the issue. And it was free. On their website it states a free tire and brake inspection. So that was a plus but honestly I could not be more happy about the service I had received. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone. My tire inspection was free but I would have paid because their service was top tier. If you are in tire or auto care needs go see Mike at Skip's!

He said it would be about an hour since I was the second one in first thing in the morning. After 2.5 hours I get a call that I'm going to need $900 in repairs including a new timing belt, filter, and battery. I was really surprised by the battery since I haven't had any issues or lags when starting the car. I asked him to look at the date on the battery since I've only had the car for 9ish months and wasn't sure when it was last replaced. Said they weren't able to see the date but that the reading was coming back in the red. I told him to return my old battery to me bc I wanted to keep it, but to switch it out. When I picked up my car, I reminded Luis I wanted my old battery. The date was 02/2025, so I also asked for the read out showing my battery was in the red. He disappeared into the shop and never brought it back. I took the battery to O'Reilly to test it next day and it was totally good, Luis straight up lied. I went back to Skip's, showed Owen the O'Reilly read out, demanded they take their battery out and put my original battery back, and refund my money. It was $275 for the new battery! I told them it was disgraceful to be out here scamming women who come to the shop, and I would be telling the people I know who have been going to this shop religiously for years to be VERY careful if they continue to go here (I talked to them and they won't be returning). Owen was understanding and said he would be formally writing Luis up for this and that the shop is under new management, but this is unacceptable and I do not trust that any of the recommended work was actually necessary and I still shelled out $600 for what should have just been an oil change. TLDR: be prepared to be told you need extra repairs that you do NOT need, especially a new battery. Keep all parts if you do go through with repairs here and confirm the work was needed (keep the old battery and get it tested yourself next door at O'Reilly for free). They see a single woman walk in and see dollar signs. Disgusting.

This particular vehicle and really their entire inventory stood out as being well maintained, low-mileage, and priced more competitively than just about anything else I was seeing. I was surprised to see that their Google score was at 4.6 over 200 ratings which seemed impossible given the reputation of car dealerships, but I quickly realized how they earned such a strong rating. At every step of the process from their initial response to my inquiry email, to scheduling a by-appointment-only test drive, to completing financing paperwork, the team at Century was as accommodating, genuine, and low-pressure as any car buying experience I've ever had. Shout out to Du and Scott who helped me and even stayed very late on a Friday to get the credit applications and other paperwork in order.
