Berkeley Auto Repair

I'm happy that Model Garage was willing to work with me on a way to deal with a pesky engine light problem on my Prius. . They suggested initially trying to solve the problem by replacing a valve that might be defective. The cost was substantial and the possibility existed that this might not solve the problem. As an alternative, Robert suggested that I buy a OBD2 reader and keep track of the error code that was coming up when the engine light came on. For me, this was a better solution.

I've found a few other Volvo repair shops in the US that come close to Model Garage, but if I want my car to be thoroughly looked over and fixed properly, no bullshit, I wait until I'm back in California and bring it here. It is important to have OCD service on a car when you don't want it breaking down on the interstate, in the middle of hundreds of miles of cornfields or desert!

Sorted out my problem and resolved to my satisfaction. Saved a few bucks as well!

Wonderful people. Wonderful service. Wonderful cooperation. Top quality work. What's not to love???

Don has been taking care of my cars for 34 years. The Model garage provides the highest standard of service and support. I only wish my doctor could match that standard. I trust Don in every regard, both implicitly and explicitly.

Thanks, Model Garage, for professional, friendly, and helpful service that went beyond the call.

thanks for your call while I was on vacation. superb customer service!

Looking forward to bringing our business to you from now on. Thanks!

a really great place to have things done for your car; very honest and forthright.

While vehicle maintenance and repair is never pleasant (it always costs too much), going to the Model Garage is always pleasant! The knowlegable folks there always make you feel welcome and they are genuinely interested in what your car needs. My wife tells me she does not feel intimidated when she brings her car there. They do not make her feel stupid for not knowing what is wrong, it's enough that she has a concern about how the car is driving. Don and crew are great, they have solved many problems that other mechanics could not diagnos. Thumbs up to the Model Garage!!!
