I just picked up my car at the Model Garage. I wish I had found this place two years ago, when we first moved to the East Bay. I had gotten to a point where I couldn't fully trust my usual dealer. My car had an oil leak, and their answer was to fix everything that might be the cause. That would have cost close to half the car's value. I said no and brought it to the Model Garage instead. They diagnosed it properly. They identified the most likely causes and fixed only those. That's the kind of shop I want to keep using.

Thank you Mark and welcome to the family. Better late than never! It is always our goal to listen to our customers needs and provide the service that works best for them. As a vehicle gets older, you can almost always find something that "could" use some repair. We concentrate on what makes to most sense at a given time. We look forward to seeing you again and helping to keep you vehicle going for as long as it make sense to you. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

So excited about this place as I finally feel like I found my new service center for my 2012 Rav4!!! Ernesto helped me out with the booking, checked my car in and out, and detailed the recommended service items from the safety inspection I booked. He was very professional and honest when it came to advising against services I asked him about (e.g. tire rotation, brake pad replacements). Instead of just trying to make money off me, he respectfully cautioned me against any unnecessary service items for my car which I greatly appreciate!

Thank you Kevin!! So glad you found us and you were able to experience "The Model Garage Difference"! We too are excited about this place and are so happy when it shows. Professionalism and honesty are some of the corner stones and every day life here at the Model Garage. We look forward to keeping your Rav4 going for many more years. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

Great reliable service. Very honest mechanic shop. When I brought in a car for service 2014 Toyota Prius I told Felix that I don't know much about the Prius, but he was very understanding and knowledgeable in explaining everything that the car needed to be serviced for. Great shop would highly recommend. I will definitely come back for any future service.

Thank you Peter, We so appreciate you reliable assessment of our honesty. The Prius is and always has been an incredibly reliable car to own and operate. With regular basic maintenance, it will likely exceed your expectations for many years to come. We have the skill and knowledge to make that a reality! Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

Took my car for routine maintenance. They told me what was needed, what could wait and what wasn’t needed. Friendly, clear and honest. Will be taking my car there from now on on

Thank you Laura, So glad you found our honesty to be refreshing. We still do things the old fashion way, make it simple! Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

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.
