What service feels like here

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.

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.

Reliable, trustworthy, good quality, not more expensive than they should be for keeping both my Mbz's in tiptop condition. 👍

So friendly and helpful. Had to have my 11-year-old Fiat 500e towed in and it was fixed (and washed!) in a couple of hours.

We have been coming to Berkeley Motors since 2017 with our 1989 Mercedes 560SEC. Scott and Mike have helped us maintain our classic car in top condition. We highly recommend their service.

Excellent care. Fine mechanics. Incredible efficiency: bills and estimates all on line. Car ready way ahead of my expectations. Couldn’t ask for more for my beautiful 1983 MBZ 300D!
