Berkeley Auto Repair

Model Garage has been taking care of my 1989 Toyota since it was new. I'm sure one of the reasons it has lasted so long is because I bring my car here for service.

I love Model Garage, first they are welcoming but more importantly they take care of my old Volvos, they keep them running and safe and not only that, they tell me when I need or not need to replace parts. I have a 70 Volvo which they maintained for many years and it still runs although I do not use it too often. I have a 79 Volvo which looks and works great and I use it every day. My new car is a 95 Volvo which my wife loves to drive. We calculated how much we paid Model Garage over the years to keep our cars in great shape: much less than trying to replace them, and we had much more satisfaction knowing our cars to work and be safe.

Totally excellent service. Thorough inspection of car, thoughtful prioritization of needed and optional repairs, accurate estimate and good problem-solving. Bruce is really good at explaining the why's and hows--making the experience educational and kind of fun. The best garage and service team I've ever encountered.

These fine folks have kept our 1990 Volvo going even now at 180K+. And our newer Camry's as well. The honest best, period. A customer for more than 23 years.

Terrific customer service ! Service with a big smile !

Reliable service, friendly staff.

Car doctors extraordinaire!! Gratitude for ensuring a deserved long life for the 1997 toyota corolla, with 268k miles. nancy marriner Chantel Staley

For over TWENTY YEARS I have been using the services of The Model Garage! Never have I had a moment of dissatisfaction with their services! They provide the highest standards of clinical skills in taking care of my vehicles while displaying EXCELLENT customer service with a grand sense of humor at all times. My 1992 240 Volvo just reached her 200k record . She remains in the best of condition and I attribute it to all of the service that the Model Garage has provided! I consider it a blessing in my life to have people of such great talent, trustworthiness and integrity in my life. Bravo to The Model Garage!!

My first time doing business, I felt comfortable and well taken care of. Thanks!

I love the guys at the model garage. They are always super friendly, down to earth, and they've mostly been there forever. I like giving my business to an independent local business - the Model Garage is it. "We tried finding something we could charge you loads of money to do... but sadly we just couldn't" said Bruce as he handed me back the keys after my 190,000 mile check. They're helping me keep my prius in great shape.
