Our Story
Noram Auto Repair was founded in 2008 by John Noram, a certified master mechanic with over 20 years of experience in the automotive industry. What began as a small, two-bay garage has grown into Santa Cruz's premier auto repair facility.
Our growth has been built on a foundation of technical excellence, honest communication, and a genuine commitment to our customers' satisfaction and safety. We've invested in the latest diagnostic equipment and ongoing training for our team to ensure we can service both modern vehicles and classics with equal expertise.
