“Reliable, trustworthy, good quality, not more expensive than they should be for keeping both my Mbz's in tiptop condition. 👍”Ellen R. · Google review · September 2024
My experience here was amazing. It’s hard to find a very knowledgeable, understanding and trustworthy mechanic nowadays, and Scott is all of these. If you have a Mercedes or BMW car, I highly recommend to come talk to Scott. Amazing customer service.
I have used this auto repair service many years for my BMW and Mercedes. They are honest and always get the repair job done timely and at a reasonable price. They are reliable and trust worthy!
Appreciated Scott's efficient and straight-forward appraisal of a new BMW I purchased recently. Will definitely come back-he was warm and friendly to boot.
Had my 1997 BMW 740 smogged at a star certified center and it failed on a service engine fault. Took it to Berkeley Motor Works to get it diagnosed and they determined that a control module needed to be fixed. They originally told me that this service would take about a week but they fixed it in 3 and a half days. They did the smog check and it passed. The level of service is excellent and a highly recommend Berkeley Motor Works
Easy to schedule appointment, get updates and pay for service. Also honest advice on repairs needed.
Great team, they were prompt and got the job done. Awesome customer service as well they explained everything to me so I understand completely. I am a happy customer!!! Thumbs up to the whole team 👍🏾
Great experience at Berkeley Motor Works. They gave me a quick diagnosis, and repair at a reasonable price. What else could you ask for?
My 20 year old 530i was intermittently stalling. Mike listened carefully to my concerns. The shop found the problem pretty quickly. I would recommend Berkeley Motor Works to any BMW owner.
Fast Friendly Service. Clear estimates and invoices sent via Text message that also allows for payment ahead before you arrive…They also got my odometer to light up again without charging me!! EXCELLENT
Knowledgeable professionals who understand the intricacies of my German car. My experience here was a breath of fresh air. I appreciate the time taken to answer my questions no matter how silly they may be. Thanks again for being there for me!!
They did a great job re-welding the tail pipe and correctly installing a new Weber carburetor after that work had been done improperly by another shop--that I will not name. :) They will be my go-to place from now on.
Great customer service and reasonable prices. Will most definitely be returning to bring my Mercedes in for future needs.
Honest folks, Scott and Xavier are awesome and polite. So much d experience and knowledge! Fixed my coolant and turbo line leakage! Update: Had another help with them! Love the quick service, Mike and Scott are awesome, knowledgeable and reasonable. They figured an issue and fixed it (in a few days) that Mercedes of Oakland couldn't (a month of taking me car).
i went to Berkeley Motor Works for PPI . friendly staff, did the prepurchase inspection in a timely maner and provided report on tine. will visit them agsin.
Very pleasant experience at Berkeley Motor Works. Paul and his colleague are lovely individuals - honest, friendly, informative, knowledgeable. I was there for an oil change and a minor service for my 2021 X1. They took care of it, and gave me an overall assessment of the vehicle. Thank you, and I hope to return when I next need service.
The service was excellent and the price reasonable. I really appreciate their knowledge and expertise and advice my vehicle. Thank you 😊 👍🏾
Expert diagnostics and repairs. Prompt, mobile-friendly communication. Good options for what to fix now vs later. Got me vrooming again same day (with an appointment same week). Full brakes pad replacement, a good value.
Brought my electric BMW i 3 for an oil change in its range extender engine. Berkeley Motors Works was familiar with the car and this service. It took only one hour so no logistical hassles and the price was very competitive.
Mike and his staff take really good care of their customers. Very skilled, professional and reliable service. I have been their customer for more than 20 years.
Prompt, thorough and no-nonsense. Good people who know their stuff and will give you the complete story on what’s up with your car’s problems. Also nice folks.
Great, easy, no hassle and best of all no bs. I’m glad I found Scott and will continue to bring my car in for all future services.
Mike at Berkeley Motorwerks knows his business well. I had a difficult problem that others couldn’t solve and he quickly figured out the problem and got it fixed without any issue. His prices were fair and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good mechanic. He is a master mechanic! Couldn’t be happier.
Coolant hose replaced, very neat job, very reasonable wait time. A little pricey but not extreme. Very clean shop, easy to deal with, and personable.
First time here with my older MBZ - Paul and Scott are really honest good people - a rarity in this business. They took into consideration of my specific repair needs and did not pressure me into doing more than I felt comfortable to keep things running. Highly recommend them!
Local streets are like a mogul ski run this year. Despite my best pothole awareness, they got the best of my suspension. I brought the car at 9am, Paul listened carefully to my description of a new noise. A short drive around the block confirmed my struts and control arms were the source. Parts were obtained and installed the same day and the car was ready by 4:30 I can’t think of a more efficient outfit. I have relied on them since 2006.
I had some electrical gremlin for my 20-year-old BMW that had dogged it for years and was draining my battery. Berkeley Motor Works triangulated the issue immediately and resolved it.
So glad to have found this shop! I’ve only taken my 2016 X3 to the dealership and Berkeley Motor Works. Mike and Scott have been wonderful in explaining work that needs to be done or work that can wait. The team is honest, professional, accommodating and reliable.
My car was in terrible condition because I waited too long to address maintenance issues. Thank goodness for Mike and Scott. The car was thoroughly evaluated and I couldn't be more pleased driving my car--minus the new car smell it drives beautifully. I trust BM Works for all future repairs and maintenance.
This place is top notch👏🏻 All your needs will be taken care for! Great service and technicians. The owner Mike is very personable and responsive. Thank you!
Berkeley Motor Works is always there for me when I need my MINI repaired/checked/serviced. Scott and crew do a great job to get me back on the road ASAP. Thanks, BMW!!
The folks at Berkeley Motor Works are awesome. Friendly with great customer service. Performed a thorough diagnostic and made the necessary repairs. The repair with Berkeley Motor Works costed a third of what the dealer had quoted. I have a BMW i3. Fair price and excellent work. Highly recommend Berkeley Motor Works.
Love this place. They know what they are doing. Excellent work and no longer will be taking my car to the dealership again. Definitely will return. Thanks again.
Brought my car in for the first time yesterday after BMW quoted me close to $1600 for an oil change, air filter change, vehicle diagnostic, and brake fluid change. They were able to take me in the next morning and quoted me $600 less than BMW did. Service only took like three hours compared to a full day that BMW would’ve taken. Appreciate their honesty, great prices and professionalism. I’ll be back!
I took my e92 335i with an n54 here because the check engine light kept coming back on. Scott was able to figure out the problem and got the repair done the same day for an extremely reasonable price. They’re very knowledgeable and I trust this ship whole heartedly with anything for my car.
Am very happy with the 2 repairs to my '93 318i that Berkeley Motor Works performed since my previous mechanic retired. Hydraulics on clutch went out as did alternator and spark plugs. Both diagnosed and fixed quickly and efficiently. Hadn't realized how much I'd modified my driving to accommodate electrical deficiencies but wow, it's so much easier to drive, it's like a new car.
Everything went very smoothly. I heard back at about 3:00 the same day that my car was ready. The cost was very reasonable for the service. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Gloria Lawrence
Mike and Scott were great- good communication, transparent about what really needed to be done and got me a quote fast. I saved 6k having them do the work vs my dealership, who I had been extremely faithful to.
They managed a complex problem in one afternoon and gave a very fair price for the parts and laboe
Coming from Moran in Berkeley who was closing. Quick and reliable service. Thanks Berkley motor!
Fantastic place to get your Mercedes fixed. Had a broken bearing in a hub assembly and had a hole in the breather hose. Called on a Tuesday morning, first time client. They got me in on Thursday (and they are busy) and it was fixed by 3 pm same day. Friendly, patient and the pricing was extremely reasonable. Will definitely come here again. Be sure to grab some M&Ms!
Scott and the whole team at Berkeley Motor Works are fantastic. They were upfront with pricing, clear with estimates, and never pushed unnecessary upsells — just honest, professional service. Communication was prompt and friendly the entire time. The attention to detail on my Abarth was incredible. You can tell they genuinely care about doing the job right. They’ve earned all of my future business!
I brought my BMW 740i in for brake noise and vibration issues, and I had a great experience. They clearly explained the diagnosis, showed me what was actually wrong, and helped prioritize what needed to be fixed now versus later. Communication was solid throughout the process, and the final cost felt fair for the quality of work. You can tell they really know BMWs. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an honest BMW specialist.
Mike and his crew are fantastic! So honest and thorough. The first time I brought my car in the dealer had suggested an 8k repair (replacing the turbo) but when Mike looked at it he fixed it for less than 2k (the turbo was fine it was rather the connector to the turbo).
Scotty is such a wonderful person to buy parts from. Fair prices and a huge knowledge of both Mercedes and BMW. He was able to get me an incredibly hard to find part for a 43 year old Mercedes. I am grateful!
Car broke down two days before a road trip. I asked if it was possible to have my car fixed by then. Obviously it depended on what was wrong. But they "saved the day" and got it done in time!! They aren't cheap (caveat-I have a 2010 Mini Cooper) but I've gone to them 3 times so far and they have always done an excellent job. I definitely recommend them!
Excellent service. Got what I needed. Knowledgeable parts department for both Mercedes and BMW. Fair prices.
I did a post purchase inspection for a used car I bought. They were fast and professional. Cost was reasonable.
I always feel confident that my car has had the best service. Scott & Mike always keep me in the know as to what has to be done, the progress of the services, & the final outcome!!!!
Mike was very friendly and helpful from the first phone call. It felt like he really enjoys his work, and was ready to offer extra advice and recommendations. In and out the same day, and reasonably priced.
Mike and Scott are awesome! My wife and I have been taking our car's there for years. They're super helpful and do great work!

I recommend Berkeley Motor Works to everyone, super cool guys and they are very honest and up front with everything. This will definitely be the only place I take my BMW. Saved me tons of money and everything is perfect on the car.
Scott was great, very informative, made sure I had the information that I needed and had me out in timely fashion.
Mike was very responsive and helpful in replacing a water pump, thermostat, and new brake linings on my Audi SQ5 at a fraction of the cost quoted by the dealer. Not only was it thousands less, but all done in 2 days. I highly recommend this organization!
My 23 year old Mercedes has been maintained by Berkeley Motor Works for several years. I’m alerted when service is due and any other issues are resolved in a timely manner-still passing smog!
I really appreciate your services. You are kind and friendly and my car Was fixed the same day. Glad it did not cost a lot to repair.
Berkeley Motor Works worked on my Fiat 500 E. I am so grateful. Great service. Not too many places work on Fiats. They fixed the car and as a bonus, gave it a bath.
My wife and I trust none other than Scott and Mike for our beautiful comfortable Mbz 2006 S350 and our 2004 E320. These cars require care and attention, especially the air ride in the S350. Because Berkeley Motor Works always works to find the right answer, we enjoy having our 2 great cars well maintained and at reasonable price, too! Thank you Scott and Mike.
I really trust Mike and Scott. They know so much about European cars, including common issues that come with age, and how to reliably and economically keep them at peek operational performance.
I continue to get my Mini serviced here. They're professional, & efficient. I can count on them to have the most updated manufacturer's service recommendations. Again, I highly recommend them.
I love this place. They take great care of my car, have reasonable prices, explain everything they need to do, and are just all around, great guys. Thank you for everything you do!!!
Just the very best. I am sorry that I'm about to move out of state because I doubt I'll ever be able to find any mechanic that will serve me as well as they have.
