Berkeley Auto Repair

Don and the gang are always a pleasure to talk to. They explain the mechanics, prioritize repairs according to both expense and urgency, and are courteous and sometimes funny to boot! And the work, it almost goes without saying, is always good. I never have to bring the car back for anything, which I sometimes used to have to do with my old bmw.

As a Model Garage consumer for over 15 years, I can say without hesitation they know how to take care of your Volvo. They provide honest value for the dollar, checking with you before undertaking unanticipated repairs, and keeping you apprised of pending maintenance needs. There location near BART makes drop off and pickup easy on a work day.

I read all of the Yelp reviews and they were extremely positive, so I booked an appointment. They were right. They are terrific! My car just needed a regular servicing, but I had an electrical bug that needed fixing too. They did all of it with a great attitude and a great price! LOVE 'EM. I plan on taking my car here forever.

I always receive great service here. Honest appraisals of what needs fixing and excellent work. Thank you, Don and Pete!

As usual, Model Garage provided excellent care when I had car trouble.

Sometimes I wonder if my car is worth servicing at the Model Garage they're a high-quality establishment, and you get the sense that they not only know exactly what they're doing, but that they enjoy it. My car is no fancy thing... but they treat my car like it's worth it, and have kept it running smoothly (even better than before, after last year's 200,000 mile service) for several years now.

The staff at the garage were friendly and efficient.They completed the job two hrs earlier than they estimated.

Model Garage is a model in every way--technical expertise, timeliness, and top-notch user-friendliness. You can't go wrong with Model Garage!

I have been going to the Model garage since it first opened back in the 1980s. I do not believe words are sufficient to express the consistent, impeccable quality and integrity the Model Garage provides. I trust the Model Garage implicitly and explicitly. If I could have the same degree of trust for my doctor and attorney, life would be complete.

Once again, Model Garage was able to get my beloved old Volvo back on the road...and for a small fraction of the price a dealer would have charged. Happy me!
