Independent Mercedes-Benz service in Albany
Service A, Service B and the repairs in between, on Mercedes-Benz sedans, coupes and SUVs, with dealer-level attention and an independent shop's straight answers.
Berkeley Motor Works has served East Bay drivers since 1990 from 736 San Pablo Avenue in Albany. Every repair carries our 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty on qualifying parts and labor.
Service A and Service B
Most recent US Mercedes-Benz models alternate between Service A and Service B, with the car's maintenance indicator telling you which is due. Service A centers on the oil and filter change and a set of inspections. Service B adds items such as the cabin filter and a brake-fluid exchange. We perform both and reset the reminder.
Repairs we handle
Diagnosis of check-engine and warning messages, oil and coolant leaks, transmission service, brake and suspension work, and electrical faults across the car's control modules.
Why bring it to an independent specialist
You get technicians who work on European cars every day and a shop that shows you what it finds. Your factory warranty is protected as long as the maintenance meets Mercedes-Benz requirements, and we keep the records with every visit.

A customer on their Mercedes-Benz
“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!”
