Berkeley Auto Repair

We are new to the area and finding a trustworthy mechanic is never easy. Referrals led us to Model Garage and we are very grateful to have found them so quickly. Zena was great to deal with on the phone and got us scheduled immediately. Dan was great and refreshingly honest about what really needed to be done and how quickly. We will be back in a few months to get the necessary maintenance done. It is rare that I feel as if I can trust mechanics but Model Garage left me feeling like I had found the perfect place to bring our Volvo from now on. Thank you!

I appreciate your quick service and consideration of the need of the customer.

My 240 broke down on the freeway on a holiday weekend. Towed it home, towed it to the model garage, open on the holiday, and it was fixed the same day. I love this place!

Model Garage was able to quickly diagnose and solve a problem with my aging Volvo that no dealer had ever been able to figure out. The guys obviously enjoy their work, each other, and Volvos. I'll definitely go back!

I had a conflict over a fuel pump. The Volvo has 2 fuels, and I had one repaired and then was told I had to fix the fuel pump. Model Garage had kept the parts, explained to me in a friendly and clear way. No problem. Every single person at Model Garage is engaging and helpful. I really appreciate them.

Thanks for your wonderful service, friendly smiles and bad jokes. Every time I bring my car in even for a mini service I know you are keeping me and my ride in good shape. If only other parts of my life were so easy to fix.

easy, efficient and professional. gives me confidence that my car is in good running order

My 1988 Volvo 240 DL will last forever as long as Model Garage is servicing it. It runs better than it ever did before Model Garage took over, plus everyone is incredibly pleasant to deal with. They're the best!

Visit was great, but it's still leaking in wheel well of the trunk - dadgummit!

The Model Garage mechanics were so helpful! They fixed my car the same morning that I called, were friendly - even stored my bike in their office while I walked to the store - and gave me a head's up on important information above and beyond what I had asked them to look over. Their fee was modest and they certainly created goodwill with me.
