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!

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.

This place really is a local gem. Started coming here some years ago after several neighbors recommended it. I like the people who work here; they seem honest, kind, polite, and knowledgeable. They don't push extra services and are happy to offer advice based on the car's age and usage. Most recently my 10-year-old car's "check engine" light came on while I was on the freeway! - I pulled off and phoned MG. Felix could not have been nicer; told me just to get it towed in and they wouldn't charge me to keep it overnight (it was a weekend). The car's transmission had a leak, which was a bummer, but Felix explained everything they had to do, and I felt reassured that they were charging a fair price for the work. Also, I really like the free ballpoint pens. :)

Thank you JayDee, In a world where small, family owned business are disappearing at an alarming rate, especially car repair in Berkeley. We are doing our very best to keep doing what the Model Garage has been doing for over 44 years. Taking care our our neighbors and their vehicles. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

I just got my hands on a pre-owned Lexus IS 350 and I wanted to double-check for any hidden problems. Felix was super professional and gave great advice about the vehicle. I left the car in the morning and picked it up by noon. The report was thorough and I am very pleased with the service.

Thank you Amie, A non biased/second opinion can be worth it's weight in gold. Looks like you ended up with a super great care and should be able to enjoy it for many years to come. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.
