Berkeley Auto Repair

A great job and as always very fair.

They always provide the best service even with my old car!

Not me (yet), my 96 850 with, wait for it, 225K miles. Helped me talk through how to manage the failed smog test, what I need to consider, etc. Very helpful and knowledgeable. And of course did the regular service which has kept the car going like the Energizer bunny.

Excellent. So happy I walked through your doors.

All staff was courteous, explained what the service would include, easy to reach by phone, and had car ready on time.

Tthis was my second appointment at The Model Garage and the staff did an excellent job of reviewing the details of my work order, communicating any concerns or issues, and providing an explanation of work completed.

A heater hose on my 96 Volvo broke during afternoon rush hour last week. I was able to limp the car to Model Garage. They fixed it, tuned it and replaced other inadequate hoses by early the next day. It runs great and I have the security of knowing it has been carefully checked for problems. I feel so lucky to have such a mechanic nearby. Paul

always excellent and always fun

as a long time customer, i miss the personal connection we had with Peter. the new guy answering phone (maybe the new partner??) is a little gruff and disconnected. He should make friends with the old timers :) excellent service, otherwise, as usual.

As always, Don and company treated me with courtesy, knowledge, skill, patience, humor, and genuine warmth. They are willing to drop what they're doing to perform a quick fix, and they stand by their service. I hope they can keep my Volvo going for another 240,000 miles!
