Berkeley Auto Service is a local, Family Owned and Operated Business. We strive to provide you with quality Automotive Care in Berkeley.

OIL CHANGE

Experts recommend changing a vehicle’s oil and oil filter every three months or 3,000 miles, whichever is first. It’s an essential way to maximize engine protection, and keep your engine functioning properly. We find that oil changes at 7,500 miles are usually too long an interval for most common driving conditions. Make an appointment today for an oil change if you’ve neglected the vehicle. Regular oil changes protect your engine from corrosion, damage, overheating and other ailments.

MAINTENANCE

To keep any vehicle in top working condition, there are many parts that need to be serviced on a regular basis. The engine, brakes, and many other mechanical features require check-ups. Without a regular inspection from a trained technician, these critical parts could fail, causing safety risks and resulting in expensive repairs. Brake fluids, AC fluids, antifreeze, and several other solutions are all critical for vehicle operation. Most importantly, regular maintenance provides preventive protection.

BRAKE REPAIR

Don’t delay if you feel your vehicle isn’t performing properly or stopping as effectively as it used to, chances are it’s your brakes. Our technicians are experts at diagnosing brake problems, so we’ll have you back on the road quickly no matter the issue. If your vehicle’s brake fluid is low, we’ll let you know and upon your approval, will replace your brake fluid while you wait. Make an appointment (510) 841-2568 for your brake service or inspection today.

Testimonials

Finding a trustworthy mechanic can be challenging. Give Berkeley Auto Service a try, and you'll never have to worry about your car care again.

Carlos has been my mechanic for years and has proven time and time again, to be extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and professional. Excellent communication-- he is always happy to answer any questions and provide thorough explanations about repairs needed and options available. Turn around time is quick, even on major repairs. Prices are fair, and the work is typically guaranteed. I absolutely trust and recommend Berkeley Auto Service.

I’m so thankful that I brought my car here when I did and wish I would have sooner because I probably wouldn’t have ended up on the side of road stuck lol

I had my car towed and Carlos and his crew helped me every step and got my car back running again !

This is now my go to auto shop - they are very professional and honest with me about what’s going on with my car and helped me figure out what I needed to fix first and the least important issues last because my car has a lot of issues but it’s almost close to perfect now thanks to them .

I highly recommend bringing your car here even for an oil change or diagnostic !!

Carlos is really friendly, patient and helped me understand what was wrong with my 2008 Volkswagen Eos convertible ( it had a lot of issues that I did not know about when I purchased it ) because I am a typical girl who knows nothing about cars and I did not feel like I was being taken advantage of like how most auto shops do if they see you have little Knowledge about cars.

I am currently waiting to pick up my car now again and can’t wait to be driving it again ! Thanks Carlos !!!

I have a friend with a VW "new" beetle, two of them actually, and when she told me she'd found this shop she calls "family auto" I was thrilled. Finally she was getting good advice about "this matters right now; this other thing, not quite as high a priority" and it has been accurate, solid perspective backed up by good work and realistic, reliable parts choices. I've been there with my friend and talked to them - these are people who are experienced and like what they are doing, and seem to know how to make a good honest living. My qualifications for my opinions are based on that I was once a wrench, 12 years at the journeyman level, and I would take my car here in a heartbeat if I had one of the kinds they work on and I wasn't able to address something myself for any reason.

Called to see if I could get a quick inspection for a weird noise my car is making. Unfortunately they don't serve Nissans and I didn't know that when I called, regardless, the person on the phone patiently asked me about my car, and provided a quick diagnosis after hearing about the issue. I think I was just pleasantly surprised because they were trying to help KNOWING that I wouldn't bring my car in because it's a Nissan. They then recommended Art's, which does serve Nissans, and that's the place I ended up booking an appointment with. It's great to see local businesses looking out for each other, and being so willing to help!

Dan is a great guy very helpful and knowledgeable, I will continue going to him as long as I own a gas engine car...

Colin H.

First time on this auto service, met Carlos by phone great experience, needed a smog check on my R32 since my check engine marked “on”. They just solved the problem very professional, I found the right place after several searches.

German P.

Dan the man! Extremely honest and fair. Dan came recommended from my friends dad that works as a mechanic nearby. He did not disappoint. I always come here for repairs.

Connor L.

These are some of the best gentleman I have ever met to fix my cars headlight. They helped me in a bind. Dan is an expert in what he does and I recommend them to everyone. Community matters. They are community. Thank you Berkeley Auto Service!

Alexandra E.

Awesome local mechanic. Honest.

My experience with this shop was excellent. Roger and Dan (brothers) are car guys - they love cars and have spent their lives working on them. They're good mechanics and they care about their customers. I picked them from Google reviews and agree with their high rating.

I took my Audi to them because I failed my smog test and they called me about 2 hours after I dropped it off to say that they'd found several other issues, which I had them fix - my shocks and the bushings in my front suspension were shot. I was there when they removed the old parts and it was clear that they were shot.

The smog failure was more complicated, but they figured it out by applying a smart process of elimination. I grew up working on and racing cars and spent my weekends and summers working in my uncle's auto repair shop, so I'm a bit of a mechanic myself and these guys are the real deal.

Like others, I had to wait a week to get my car in, but once they had it they dived into trouble shooting mode and didn't stop until they had it all figured out. Really good guys. I just moved to the Bay Area and it's great to know I've found my new mechanics.

I was given two free diagnostics and quick-fixes for a crippling problem in which my car was stuck in fourth gear and I had a 150 mile trip home. SUCH COURTEOUS , MODEST and KNOWLEDGEABLE serivce sets a standard. Though the shop had neither the time nor means to go into the problem thoroughly, the mechanic made suggestions which I followed to solve the issue most sensibly and economically.

I've been bringing my GTI to Dan and Roger for several years, and I've been getting nothing but dedicated and HONEST service. They don't push their own parts on you, don't charge bogus inspections fees, and don't run up labor time on you like so many other places will. They're a pleasure to deal with, and you can see there's good chemistry in the shop. Timing wise - I agree, there have been times when they got swamped and I didn't get my cat back as soon as I'd like, but they also have come in and worked on it on weekends on several occasions, which makes up for it, I think.

Eugene G.

Visiting Oakland. Our VW Jetta broke down. These guys installed new clutch and got us on our way. No BS. Good price for repairs. Highly recommend.

Peter H.

They do quality work, know what they are talking about, and I trust them.

Adam F.

This place was great,Dan explaned everything in detail basically painted a picture in my head ,they also stuck to their original quote, my audi was done on time and running better than ever! After having anther shop down the road attempt to diagnose the problem, and charging me even after they failed to do the repair correctly, Berkeley auto service made it happen !!!
