Berkeley Auto Repair

We have been customers for about 20 years. The keys to keeping us coming back are honesty and knowledge! Also fair pricing. We have to drive across town to take our cars in but we continue because Angus and Natalie and staff are always honest and knowledgeable! Quite simply we trust them and their advice!

My family has been taking their vehicles to Oceanworks for years and years. The mechanics always do a quality job and I trust the front desk associates. Everyone at Ocean works is super friendly and professional. Monday morning my car wouldn’t start . I called Oceanworks with my symptoms and right away they diagnosed the problem. They squeezed my Subaru into their schedule to get the work done. I also appreciate that they are a green business using solar power and recycling their waste. I always recommend ocean works to friends.

I called for a minor maintenance problem and they saw me right away and fixed it! Perfect!

This is a great shop

When my engine light came on, ocean works was able to diagnose the issue and replace a part all within the same day.

As always, Oceanworks cares for my vehicle with thoroughness, expertise, and sensitivity towards my needs (i.e. timing). They've been taking care of my 2005 Subaru for a decade and even as the car's needs mount, they provide repairs with exemplary service and totally reasonable cost. I can't fathom taking my car anywhere else. Also I so appreciate how Chris and Natalie take the time to increase my knowledge of engine mechanics with humor and without condescension! While I am more than happy to entrust my car to them, I always feel that I come away with a better understanding of how my trusty steed runs and operates. Thanks Oceanworks!!

I brought my Ford Explorer to be repaired. They did a fantastic job. It took a couple tries but, they were able to find solutions and fixed it.

Best mechanic in the Bay Area! Not only are they super knowledgeable and do great work, but the transparency with pricing and communication I receive as a customer is unlike any other shop. Excellent customer and automotive service…highly recommend!

I took my 2005 Chevy Aveo to Oceanworks on the recommendation of a mechanic friend who told me they were honest and did good work. Chris, the Oceanworks manager, gave me clear-minded advice on the needed repair (replace a broken tensioner pulley for the serpentine belt). He was easy to communicate with and personable throughout. Oceanworks completed the repair on time—indeed, Chris called me twice in the process to keep me informed as to progress. Oceanworks also did a general diagnostic of the vehicle, recommending three additional repairs (relatively minor) “to avoid future surprises.” He put these into a hierarchy of importance—and even told me which one might be deferred if need be. I appreciated the way he handled this, no fast talk, and all made clear in language a non-mechanic (me!) could follow. At what seemed to me a reasonable price. Come the need, I’d certainly use Oceanworks again!
