I have a 19 year old Mercedes and plan to keep it another 19 years! Berkeley MW’s has provided excellent service to my car for tune-ups, diagnostic checks and repairs. I appreciate their thorough examination of my car and reminders for maintenance.

Very professional and organized. I appreciate the detailed explanation of the work on my car.

So, please take this review seriously!! As this was an eye opening thing for me. I went to this auto works shop because my Mercedes was jerking randomly while driving .. so they charged 250 $ for diagnosis! Which is ok, however, I was told that it has a transmission issue which is gonna cost me 2500 $ to fix, I didn’t have the time to leave my car and just took the car home, I got a second thought and took my car to a different having them same problem because I was skeptical about believing that it’s the transmission as i didn’t have such symptoms in my car, long story short, the new mechanic fixed the problem with the fuel pump for 350 bucks and scanned they transmission twice confirming no issues with transmission or any other problems whatsoever!!!

They are professional and provided quality service at a reasonable price. I took my car in for a diagnostic test because my brakes, 4x4 and ABS lights were all showing on my dashboard at the same time. They ran the diagnostic test and the motor in my transfer case was going out. They were able to replace it and have my car back to me within a cpl of hours.

I chose Berkeley Motors after finding them in a Google search. I spoke with several repair companies, but I was most impressed with the thoughtful questions and professionalism when I called in.Additionally, my initial service - oil change and side mirror replacement were done well and timely at a fair price. Since the initial services I’ve returned for brake services. (I think that’s really the best measure of how I feel; returning for additional services.)Everything was again great; now this is my go-to for any service needs. Everyone at the shop is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful too. I highly recommend Berkeley Motors.

The crew at Berkeley Motor Works is consistently professional and customer-oriented. They are clear in their explanations of the work to be done, and follow through in a timely manner. Weve taken our BMWs to them for years and are very satisfied!

Great service! They were professional and courteous. My brakes are working better than ever. I chose this shop because they have Mercedes Benz specialists to work on your car. They even washed my car for free!

They did a great job! Not only did they find the problem with my car, but they also noticed other safety concerns that were going to cause great danger shortly if I hadnt turned in my car any sooner. Since they specialized in BMWs they knew what to look out for.

Extremely professional and technically very accurate in their assessment of problems. Also extremely timely in their repairs and engaging and supportive in their communications

Mike and Scott do a great job explaining anything that needs fixing and more importantly, they are honest. I’ve brought my BMW in on multiple occasions and they always are quick to diagnose issues and get the work done in a high quality manner. Would always recommend them!

Very professional and within budget. My car is my refuge, and my work. Mini Cooper S... forever.

Berkeley Motor Works replaced all 4 struts on my car for about half the price Id been quoted by the dealership. They asked if I specified OEM parts, and when I said Id accept aftermarket parts for my 12-year-old car, they put the car back in top shape at a considerable savings.She drives like a new car now--thanks to Berkeley Motor Works.

I relocated to the El Cerrito area and was hoping to find a good shop that I can trust my 5-Series BMW with. Well I discovered more than I expected with Berkeley Motor Works. Super professional super transparent with clean clear lines of communication. Scott asked all the right questions during the initial intake. I was called about the issues and the pricing before performing any work. Despite all the issues and work needed to be performed. It was still promised to be ready by mid-morning next day. Looks like I found my BMW shop long terms. I recommend this crew with 5 plus stars. Thanks to the team at Berkeley Motor Works.Be Well.

Professional auto service with the price being true to quote. BBB certified business.

Tried for first time on 4.6.2021 for oil change and check-up on 2012 Mini. Prompt service, knowledgeable, checked everything with recommendations (no pressure). Will use again.

Berkeley Motor Works is the best. Mike and Scott are absolutely wonderful....they are both very professional yet so friendly and kind. From here on in berkeley motor parts is the only place I will be taking my x5....

I always trust them for their work and transparency. So honest and friendly

At Berkeley Motor Works, the mechanic understand customers with respect to what customers are looking to accomplish. Try Berkeley Motor Works (B.M.W) and you will not be disappointed..

For my new used Mbz Berkeley Motor Works recommended that I change all the fluids and check all moving and greased everything. I took the car to a less expensive all Mbz mechanic elsewhere and had all that work done. Afterward I heard a tiny whine in my transmission. Eventually I came back to BMW and they have now replaced the transmission fluid that was a strange color with proper Mbz transmission fluid. Mike joked, You think a good German auto mechanic is expensive, until you try a bad German auto mechanic. Unfortunately my transmission still whines, but hopefully it will not suffer further damage. Thank you Berkeley Motor Works.

I wish I could give Berkeley Motor Works 10 stars! I drove from OR to the Bay and as soon as I arrived, my clutch and electrical system both burned out! The crew at BMW couldn’t have been more helpful, communicating every step of the way, and even sent my part across country to get refurbished when a replacement for it was on global back order. I consider them the unsung heroes of the Bay Area!

Always a honest, fair and professional experience

My car needed some help and Scott and team provided great fast service and were transparent with everything I needed. My Mini is running safely again and I’m happy to know I have a place to nearby to take my car if I have trouble.

Every time Ive brought both of my Mercedes they are professional & knowledgeable! Always good experience!

The work was done just as promised at a very fair price

Always helpful, very professional staff. Scott and Mike are always very accommodating with our inquiries. The best car repair I have dealt with.

Mike the owner is great. And his guys are top notch.

Very good place, Ive been going to Mike for years.

I would definitely recommend Berkeley motor Works to anyone that needs their vehicle worked on. They are very professional and very courteous and helpful. And of course they are very thorough when it comes to fixing your car.

Scott is very kind. And great first impression with their yes, were local and Albany stands United against hate posters.

It’s my best of the best services on all my cars they put in the work, the do the works, they know the work is done right . With no excuses they’re far ahead of the business they render great customer services as well . I highly recommend them it’s great to have your car or cars running & feeling the work gets done right. Yes, the first time they been my go to guys over 12 years . Mike got a wonderful gift of mechanical technical technicians that know how to do the work right !....

Nice professional clean shop with good customer service. Have taken my car there a few times and always happy with the experience.

I initially called another shop and was quoted $100 more for the same oil service, however based on reviews, I decided to give Berkeley Motors the benefit of the doubt.Scott was very helpful, and detailed the service that was to be provided, and was not pushy about scheduling the service. He also explained that the owner, Mike was also available to answer questions.The online booking system is extremely efficient, and the reminders received via text message is helpful for busy individuals.While this shop is on the main strip among other competitors, the vibe I got was that these two do honest and efficient business.

The gentleman I spoke was very polite and was very helpful.

Mike & Scott have always kept my vehicle in top operating condition. Repairs & services that range from regular maintenance to complicated services such as diagnosing system problems have been consistently high quality. Always outstanding service, great communication about services that are needed to be performed, reasonable pricing, and repairs in a timely manner. I fully trust my car to Berkeley Motors, and recommend for all a car needs.

Excellent expert attention as always

Scott, Mike, and the rest of the crew are the best! Always treated well here and they take real good care of my car.

These guys are the best. Honest, efficient, and generally on point! Give them a call and get it done right.

First time in 54 years I dIdnt do my own brake job but I trust these guys. Good job. Good price. Ill be back.

Great TLC for my mighty little Mini. I’ve been shopping for awhile for an independent mechanic for my 2013 Mini and now i’ve found its home away from home. Thorough, efficient, friendly, comprehensive! Thanks guys!

Very efficient

I’ve brought my BMWs to Berkeley Motor Works a few times over the past six months and on each occasion I was impressed with their professionalism, honesty and excellence in BMW car maintenance and repair! Highly recommended!

They were really patient with me (my first car - so i dont know all the lingo). fixed my mini no problem!

Super kind and knowledgeable staff. If you own a BMW look no further. Mike and Scott are the real deal!

Wonderful customer service. They always take great care of my car. Reasonable prices.

I bought a 2004 BMW X5 from a private party and took it to Mike and the team for a thorough diagnostics. Long story short, the vehicle had some terrible issues. Thanks to Berkeley Motor Works, the immediate and most serious problems were repaired, and my wife and I drove the car up to Los Angeles from the Bay without a glitch Mike and his team are the consummate repair professional.

Just had my BMW (13 328i) in for an oil and transmission fluid change. Without being asked, they inspected my brakes and tires for free. Mike and Scott were very professional, engaging and a pleasure to do business with. Would recommend to anyone with a roundel emblem on their hood.

Great service, very knowledgeable, professional

Straight forward and honest repair of my 97 BMW that needed a fair amount of work to make it a reliable commute car.

Berkeley Motor Works did a awesome job on my vehicle and the price was great along with wonderful customer service! I wouldn’t take my vehicle anywhere else!

2nd service & I feel confident with these guys. Straight forward info & detail oriented for a 21 year old car.

I am very disappointed with this shop I should have checked any reviews on this repair facility first before taking my car to them, my story is simple I took the 300 d that had a vacuum leak still does I have done a lot of home work on this issue,so I ask them to look for leaks with the pump and lines also I told them where I suspected the problem was passenger side door front, they kept my car for 7 days with very poor communication I was calling them the whole time to follow up with the situation on my car only to find out that they only replace one vacuum sensor that’s behind the steering wheel that cost $35 and they charge me $448 in labor for that and finally they said I need a vacuum pump when initially the said the V pump was fine which was a concern for me from the beginning pick up my car still has a vacuum issue after I paid a total of $523 out the door with a car that Still has the same issue going in they are not trustworthy I will not go back to them they send me this survey so I am expressing my feelings people need to believe in bad carma it always would come back at you.Do right by people if want life to do right by you.

There personable and KNOW BMWs at a reasonable investment! I just moved to the Berkeley, CA area and couldnt be happier with my decision to aline myself with Mike and his excellent team of mechanics. If you look at a your mechanics like I look to find personal doctors youll be happy you choose Berkeley Motor Works!If I wasnt working right now Id elaborate much more!

This is a great shop, I got honest work and a very pleasant attitude from everyone there. I got over-quoted from another shop on work and it was great to be treated fairly here. I will return to Berkeley Motor Works anytime I am in the bay. Thanks guys!

These guys were great! Did a fantastic job and less than half the price of the BMW repair centers.

Been bringing my Beemer and Mercedes here and extremely pleased with the service. Mike the owner is very pleasant to talk to and Scott lets u see parts that have been replaced. Recommend bringing your car here.

Has a BMW owner, I know a good thing when I see one. The shop is friendly, they know their stuff, and they deliver great quality with fair pricing. Seriously....I would recommend this place to all my friends and family...OH What, I did.Check it out.

Great work on my 2001 Mercedes E320 at a great price. Berkeley Motor Works will keep your older car on the road cost effectively.

Well if you knew how I felt about my car you will understand this message about Berkeley Motor Works they receive me as if theyve known me for a very long time the work that was performed top notch the price well Im smiling I hadnt been able to drive my car for over 2 months or so because of this problem that they were able to cure and then also cured a few other problems that could have been a serious problem so Im very happy with Mike Scott and the rest of the crew

Great & friendly service.

Took my mini when the check engine light turned on. They diagnosed the issue, found another problem and quoted me very reasonable to fix the problems.Got my car back the next day since I brought it late in the afternoon. VERY SATISFIED by the service !! Scott and Mike thanks guys

Great job of diagnosis and then TAT for the repair, Thanks Berkeley Motor Works!

My BMW mechanic was stumped by an issue with my engine that he could not solve. Mike at Berkeley Motor Works quickly diagnosed the problem and professionally communicated the solution to my mechanic in detail. The guys at Berkeley Motor Works are the local Go-To experts for finding fixes that others miss. Their years of experience with all BMW models really show.

Mike has great knowledge with Bmws and is fair.

What a treat to find people who are as passionate about my cart as I am. I have had my 91 E30 for 23 years now, putting over 180,000 miles, on top of the 40k she had when I picked her up back in 95. Over that time you can imagine how many sub par shops I have been though. After yet another sub par experience with a mechanic in SF, I found myself without an expert to work on my baby. She disintegrated to a dangerous level. After finally getting a great recommendation to the guys at Berkeley Moter Works we began the restoration. First we got her safe again. This last visit, we got her fine tuned again. Amazing!! She drives like she did 20 years ago, possibly better.These guys get it. They have the passion for the cars they work on. It is quite obvious that they are not just banging out the work to get to the next car. The Old Man who works on my E30, used to race them. He has been working on E30s for over 30 years. They understand that these cars were made to last a lifetime (unlike everything made today). They know that we can get another 23+ years out of this car if we take care of it. I look forward to the next 20+ years and next 200+k miles, with these guys in my corner, I am confident they will be even better that the first 20/200.Thank you Mike, Scott, The Old Man and everyone else at Berkeley Moter Works who bring passion to their work every day.

Bad service at its finest. They lie, and break parts, unplug sensors to make the engine light go on and the car seem like its broken. They are not trustworthy mechanics and the owner Mike is a liar too! Never again. EVER.

As great service! Never pushed to do anything that isnt necessary and all repairs are fully explained. Highly recommended.

Ive been servicing my vehicle with Berkeley Motor Works for the last 3 years. They are honest, friendly, and professional.

First time having my BMW serviced here as Im new in the area and I was completely satisfied with the service received. They know their stuff which is extremely important with these cars. Glad I discovered this business and my business with them will continue for years to come Im sure.

Very helpful! I could not have them do everything on my list, so I worked it into 2 visits. They are very thorough, and very thoughtful.

Small shop with folks that enjoy what they do. Mike is awesome.

Honest. Courteous. Informative. Thanks Mike. Thanks Scott.

Always satisfied with their serviceHonestPersonableReliable

Best german car repair services.

Great place and affordable prices

Unauthorized, unnecessary, overcharging faulty repairs!! 24 hours after picking up my truck from this shop after they had it for 5 months!!! It stopped on the freeway!! BEWARE STAY AWAY FROM THIS RIPOFF REPAIR SHOP!!!

They do a great job and definitely know their stuff. A+ customer service too

Yes! I found a place to get my 2002 MB SLK-230 fixed!

I shopped around before landing at Berkeley Motor Works. Cant go wrong with these guys.

This is the best place to take your BMW. They provide excellent service, are honest, and fair. I would never take my BMW anywhere else.

They were thorough in their communication. Fixed my problem in short order.

I brought my 128i convertible there & they fixed my baby ty!

Great service

Just calling for information but instead I got rudeness from them. Not very friendly at all. I think ill take my couple grand somewhere else if they dont want my money!

They are very honest and kind in that BMW workshop
