I've owned Volvo wagons since 1994 and have had my cars serviced at most of the Volvo-focused repair shops in Berkeley, including McKevitt. The Model Garage is a breath of fresh air. They operate a clean, well-organized shop and definitely know how to listen and communicate with a customer. My 2008 XC70 simply needed a 120K mile service with an emphasis on safety checks. I was given a detailed written explanation of the car's brakes and tire status, with a recommendation to delay repairs until absolutely needed . What a refreshing approach!
