Berkeley Auto Repair

Fantastic service

Excellent service, and timely warning about ther aspects needing attention.

Fast & friendly service, reasonable rates.

Another good experience with Model Garage. 90,000 mile servicing was done well; they checked with me by phone for go-ahead on replacing a faulty part they detected (leaking water pump). They also found my tires nearly worn out and the place they recommended was also terrific.

The most trustworthy Volvo mechanics in Berkeley. My family has been going to this garage since I was a child. Their repairs are always done well, and they don't force unnecessary repairs on you if you don't want it -- they care about keeping you happy and your car running great. Keep up the good work!

My 13 year old Volvo had a check engine warning. They got me in the next day and did the usual great job.

Prompt diagnosis and repair of our "check engine" problem. Also, they spotted a worn tire which I then replaced the next day. This is consistent with the many years of excellent service they have provided us!

The Model Garage is a special place. First and foremost, they are a trusted resource for me and my family. If our V40 Volvo needs a certain service to run well and be safe, I know they are on top of it and will let me know. Yet I also know they will be honest about choices I can make, say waiting a month on a big service until the timing is better for me so the payment is not burdensome. And price-wise, I know they are charging me an honest amount. Then there's their customer service. They greet me by name when I bring my car in, and offer to back my car out of its spot when I leave. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The service was everyting i expected based on the service I received on my first visit. Everyone was helpful, thorough, and seem dedicated to helping me keep my car well maintained.

I have been using Model Gatage for our volvos for 20 years. They consistently provide accurate, helpful service, accommodating difficult schedules and changes with a smile. Occasionally, I have needed them to fix problems the dealership created by having less competent mechanics.
