“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.”

We service and repair Fiat models across the range. Call 510-528-1214 with your model and year and we will confirm before you book.

Will servicing my Fiat here affect the factory warranty?

In the United States, using an independent shop does not by itself void your warranty, as long as the maintenance meets the manufacturer's requirements. We keep complete records.

Is Berkeley Motor Works a Fiat dealer?

No. We are an independent repair shop that specializes in European cars, including Fiat. We are not affiliated with or authorized by the manufacturer.

Do you offer a warranty?

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.

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).

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.

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 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.
