Excellent service- I got there early and was able to wait there for my car’s maintenance to be completed. Reasonable charges also helpful.

Thank you Margot. As always, it's our pleasure as it has been for many years! Robert, Model Garage.

I love Model Garage, and I am the second of three generations who have benefitted from and relied upon their mechanical expertise, their love of cars and their honesty. The folks that work at Model Garage are smart, attentive and helpful.

Thanks you Heidi! Having been around for 44 years has allowed us to take care of a few generations and a whole lot of cars! We so appreciate taking care of families! Robert, Model Garage.

Finally 👍🏽a place where customer service matters .I've brought three vehicles in for regular maintenance and repairs. I live in Berkeley my mechanic that I trusted left, For a long time I've been trying to find one that I can trust that's reasonable in price. They call you each and every time before doing anything to your car to get your approval first. Which I appreciate I am very grateful to finally find a repair shop I can trust. And is fully transparent. I will continue to do regular maintenance with them on all my vehicles from now on. Please continue the service that you give trust is an issue in this field people will not repair their cars if they don't Trust the facilities that are reparing them. That was me. They do not price gouge at all. Our money matters and so does affordability let's be honest .This coming from a female. As I feel we are always/ often scammed in this feild. I wish they repaired Mercedes too

Thank you Nakima! We all can not thank you enough for the glowing thoughts on your recent visit. As I always say, trust is the most important aspect of any business and the cornerstone of ours. Robert, Model Garage.

Model Garage has been giving me great service for close to 5 years. I first swung by when I had the catalytic converter stolen off my 2004 Prius in 2020 and the shop my insurance pushed me to didn't install any covers. I called and set up an appointment to get a cover first thing after the other shop put in the replacement, and Model Garage was super accommodating. More recently I had the check engine light come on after getting back from a longer vacation. I took it to a different shop closer to my workplace and that shop tried to charge me a ton of money to replace a bunch of parts they weren't sure would fix the problem. I called Model Garage since I was planning to set up my annual maintenance with them anyway and they offered to take a look. It took a few visits to sleuth out the issue, but by the end of it they correctly identified the problem as a worn down piece of plastic which prevents rain from running down the windshield into the engine block. Too much time in the sun had degraded some of this plastic and water was leaking in after each rainfall, causing sporadic cylinder misfires. They were very professional and didn't double-charge me on the return visits after a few cheaper fixes didn't cut it, and by the end of everything they charged me less than the other shop was asking to replace only the parts needed to actually solve the problem. The car has driven great a full year since and I'm writing this review from the shop waiting for my routine maintenance to finish. I've recommended this shop to friends and family since and anyone who's been has had a similarly great experience. I really trust these folks and I can tell I'm not alone since they always seem busy - definitely call in advance to schedule an appointment and give them time to do their thing. You won't regret it!

Thanks you Tim for you thoughts. Car repair is not always as easy and the internet makes it out to be. Training, dedication and experience is what it really takes. We will keep the Prius going as long as you wish it too! Robert, Model Garage.
