Berkeley Auto Repair

The morning cold noise still occurs. The steering wheel now makes a funny noise. Perhaps it's stiff. Otherwise the car rides well and is responsive. The best part is always interacting with you guys! Thanks for being so "user friendly!"

I have been coming to the Model Garage for over 15 years, and have never been disappointed by their friendliness and their quality of service. If it doesn't need fixing, they will say that it doesn't need fixing.

as always, the best!

Model garage has kept both my 1979 and 1995 Volvo's running in perfect condition for all the time I have owned them. They have always done their best to meet sudden emergencies and repairs, squeezing me into busy schedules. My real problem with them is that I cannot buy a new car they do not maintain since I cannot imagine going to any other garage.

not only did I get good service I got humor to boot!

Recommendation that 185,000 service happen

Don & his crew did yet another excellent service on my 12 year old Volvo and finished quicker than anticipated. They also found a small nail that was causing a slow leak in a tire, and directed me to Rouse Tires in Oakland who were able to repair it for $20. Thanks!

I suddenly experienced a loss of power while driving my '05 Volvo XC90. My vehicle was having trouble accelerating up yh slightest incline such as freeway onramps. The Model Garage diagnosed the problem as a failed cylinder. The repair was reasonable in cost and done by early afternoon. Power is restored and my vehicle is like new. A very professional, honest, knowledgeable crew. I highly recommend The Model Garage for all your diagnostic and service needs.

Where else could you go without an appointment when you have a serious problem...and find the part for a 25-year-old car in stock? Thank you so much for saving the day!

Hi Robert and gang..so appreciated your service. however, the problem I camein with...Ms. Volvo choking and coughing and trying to shut down still exists. especially after spending hundreds of dollars, well actually over $1000 altogether, I am disappointed. We drove to the airport on Thurs. And she choked and sputtered on the Bay Bridge. I get so darn scared!
