Berkeley Auto Repair

When my Prius fell prey to catalytic converter theft, I went straight to the Model Garage. Rob and the staff patiently let my car sit in their lot while my insurance company took two weeks to process my claim. Once the insurance coverage came through, the team finished the repairs in two days. I've been going to the Model Garage for years, and they've always been attentive, committed, and trustworthy. It's so much better than going to the service center at a dealership.

I'm glad I stopped going to the dealership and found The Model Garage. Every person I've interacted with has been friendly and efficient. They answer questions clearly and do good quality work on time, on budget. Highly recommend!

My 2005 Camry and Highlander are still running great thanks to Model Garage. Whenever I have questions they are promptly and expertly answered! Robert has a wealth of knowledge and good sense about what is worth doing and not doing to keep them in great shape. Love this place!! Long may it continue.

I"ve had my vehicles serviced at Model Garage for 30 years. Their work is outstanding. I often ask them questions about potential warning lights or strange noises, and they always know the answer. I trust them and know my cars will keep running longer with their service.

I anyone has a love for an old car and wants the best service, I highly recommend Model Garage. When I bring my car in for the annual service I can totally trust the staff. They keep me apprised of any extra problem they encounter and I am comfortable that they are knowledgeable and keep my car "healthy"!

excellent service - found the problem in no time.

Came in because a neighbor intervened when someone tried stealing my catalytic converter (at like 8 AM, pretty bold.) Model Garage accepted my Prius for a Cat Guard application same day, and I was able to pick it up within hours! In and out the door for under $350, which is a whole lot cheaper than replacing the converter. Cherry on top: a while ago there was a muffler in the middle of an on-ramp that my Prius-C carriage was no match for; it mangled a little plastic strip lining the front of the car. All I had in my car to fix it was a sad pair of headphones, so I tied it up really janky and called it a day. When I picked it up end of day, the person working (who I believe may have been Robert?) complimented my ingenuity, and then whipped out a tool to fix it for me for real. He even laid down on the ground to fix it! Truly awed. Great people over here, anything goes wrong (aesthetically or otherwise) I'll be back!

Great service! Honest people. Organized and efficient!

The people at Model garage are so nice, competent and helpful. I feel grateful to have such a great local garage with people I trust.

As always the service was courteous and efficient. I would recommend the Model Garage to anyone.
