Berkeley Auto Repair

I've taken all my second-hand Volvos here for the last 16 years, even when I lived outside the Bay Area for a while. This team "has my back".

Awesome service at a great price

excellent

Great diagnostic and repair!

Expert, thorough, and friendly service! Another very satisfied customer of Model Garage.

Super clean shop. Great interactions. Fixed what was needed and helped us figure out how much needed to be fixed on an old car (vs. what could wait).

Got it straight from the crew at Model Garage - really appreciate their expertise and honesty.

Good honest people.

These guys are always the best. Patient and knowing. And fun to be around. My only gripe is they took away the bar stools in front of the customer counter. Apparently too many people just wanted to hang out there and were getting in the way of the work going on behind the counter. But geeze, maybe you could install some sort of buzzy vibrator in the seats you could activate when a customer just wouldn't go away. Of course, that might make him/her stay even longer....

As had been the case for the more than 20 years we have been highly satisfied and loyal customers, these folks are as friendly as they are professional, as honest and as they are through, and as helpful as is possible. In this case they did a complete assessment of a 1998 V 70 Volvo, found about 5 K of deferred maintenance and told us we could do better and not to take this car, which, of course, we will not. Thanks again for all, past, present, and future.
