Brought my Subaru in after the check engine light had been on. Felix researched the problem and was able to find that our catalytic converter has an extended warranty. I should be able to get it replaced. Definitely above and beyond!

Thank you Chris, So glad we were able to help and possibly get someone else to pay the bill. Felix is kinda like the Santa in Miracle on 34th Street. Cars and car warranties are so complicated, sometime is just take a professional to sort it all out. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

Although my '93 Volvo is showing its age, I have gladly brought it to the Model Garage for the past 30 years for the exceptional service.

Thank you, whoever you are, Can't thank you enough for your years and years of allowing us to keep the old(er) Volvo going. It's too bad they just don't make care like that anymore. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

As always, it has been a pleasure to work with you...which we have been doing for the past 40+ years. It's great to have mechanics who are always nice and whom we know we can trust.

Thank you Margie, As it has been for so many years, it is always our pleasure. We have had a few changes here at the shop, you have had a few different cars but the vibe, our commitment and philosophy remain the same. Good people, good times. See you 'round the neighborhood. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

I brought in my 2005 Toyota Scion for routine service and they found bad brake problems. Communication with the shop was excellent, they checked in regularly and were both professional and accomodating. I’ll be back.

Thank you Annie, So glad we were able to make bad into good. Routine maintenance is always the best way to stay on top of things. Even more so on an older a vehicle. We look forward to taking care of you and your car for many years to come. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

Another great experience with Model Garage. Keepin' me on the road for the last 20 years. All my expectations were met and exceeded. Tune up and new brakes, wipers and safety inspection. Thank you!

Thank you Patrick! Your thoughts are always music to our ears. We attempt to exceed expectations on every visit, just as we have for over 45 years. It is really satisfying when that gets noticed. Thank you so much for being a part of our family for so long. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

My 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime’s liftgate began malfunctioning. Tired of the dealer’s relentless upselling I decided to try an independent garage in Berkeley. Reading reviews of many garages I settled on Model Garage, confident that I would find affordable expertise and avoid dealer pressures. I was not disappointed. Felix, my service manager, stewarded my car through multiple tests and ultimately, new parts, until it got fixed. While I’m not sure whether I saved a lot of money compared with the dealer, I truted the thorough, careful approach to the problem and repair and I sincerely appreciate the no-pressure vibe. Strongly recommend.

Thank you Dick, So glad you gave us a try. No pressure has been our way of doing business for over 45 years. Back when we started, you had to open the liftgate by hand. Today's cars are so much more complicated but our philosophy is the same, take care of every customer just like family. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.
