Parts buyers beware. I brought them a roughly $4,000 OEM parts order and asked whether they could get close to online Honda dealer pricing. The parts manager said he was giving me a discount, but when I audited the quote, the "discounted" net prices matched normal Honda MSRP. For example, 30530-P5M-013 was quoted as List $641.97 / Net $548.03, but $548.03 is the public MSRP. 44600-S84-A00 was quoted as List $370.97 / Net $294.42, but $294.42 is also the public MSRP. The "discount" appeared to be from an inflated dealer matrix price, not from MSRP. I understand the overhead of a brick-and-mortar department and am generally willing to pay a reasonable premium for local availability, expertise, and quality control. However, I handed them a fully researched bill of materials, and the "service" I received in return included a quote for a discontinued part (instead of the available equivalent) and being sold an already-open tube of sealant. I did all the heavy lifting on parts matching and still had to audit the counter for accuracy and compromised gasket maker, so the "premium service" argument completely falls apart here. I would have preferred to buy locally, but the pricing presentation felt misleading and the execution was sloppy. I placed the entire order online instead.

I just bought my fourth car in three years from Ocean Honda. I can't tell you how excited I am to have my new car in my driveway. Peter. The general manager will go above and beyond to make sure that you get the best deal and my personal sales associate Flor Gonzal is just the best. So if you're interested in a new or used Honda stop by Ocean Honda in Santa Cruz County

Santa Cruz Subaru Service - poltergeist. Vehicle won't start. Unreliable. A liability to say the least

Santa Cruz Subaru Service

Nice sales consultant who showed us the vehicle inside and out. She was knowledgeable and there was…read moreno pressure. Will be back once Subaru releases the 3 row EV by next year.

I wanna make a buyer‑beware alert about Subaru Solterra (same platform as the Toyota bZ4X)…read more In a little over a year and under 13,000 miles, my Solterra has repeatedly failed to start because of a dead 12‑volt battery, even when the main traction battery was mostly full. Each time the 12 V drops, the car lights up with "system stopped," brake and ABS errors, parking brake unavailable, and other random faults, and then simply refuses to go into drive. I've now been stranded at least 7 times in a year. I've followed Subaru's instructions after jump‑starting: leave the car on for an hour to let it recharge the 12 V. Despite that, the problem keeps coming back. I don't leave high‑draw accessories plugged in, and this started very early in the car's life. At around 10,000 miles I reported the problem to Subaru during scheduled service, so there is a documented history. I've since learned that this is not an isolated fluke: Law firms and owners are pursuing class‑action cases alleging that Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X models have a defective 12‑volt system that lets the small auxiliary battery drain and die prematurely, leaving drivers stranded even with plenty of charge in the main pack. The lawsuits claim Subaru and Toyota knew about these issues but failed to warn buyers or provide a lasting fix, and that some owners have gone through multiple dead 12 V batteries in just a few thousand miles. forums and groups are full of similar stories: brand‑new Solterras and bZ4Xs with repeated 12‑volt failures, dealers blaming accessories or user behavior, and people being told to just keep jump‑starting and driving I bought this car specifically to have a reliable, winter‑capable vehicle in the Tahoe area, and instead I'm carrying a jump pack and now a solar battery tender just to feel semi‑confident it will wake up. Meanwhile, my 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse with almost 90,000 miles has been more dependable than this brand‑new EV. If you're considering a Subaru Solterra or Toyota bZ4X, Stop. please research the 12‑volt battery issue and the ongoing lawsuits before you sign anything. If you already own one and are having similar problems, I'm actively looking for other owners, forums, and legal efforts to join so we can push Subaru and Toyota to take this seriously and provide a real fix or buyback. If you want details on what I've seen, what codes and errors show up, or how to document incidents for lemon‑law purposes in California, feel free to message me.
