Berkeley Auto Repair

My vehicle broke down, on I-80 near Berkeley. My insurance gave me a few automotive repair numbers to call to have my vehicle towed there. I was very fortunate to have contacted Oceanworks ll. They were very professional and courteous and knew I was from out of town, so they quickly diagnosed the problem and went to work. They ordered the parts and completed the work by 3:45, even though they only had it since 11:00. It was a busy Friday and they already had a full plate, but they went the extra mile to get my vehicle fixed. I think they are a great place with skilled mechanics and truly care for the customer. I am very grateful for their excellent service. Thank you Chris! Russ Petty

I was referred to the shop by a friend and am now grateful to her for sending me here. They took a no-nonsense approach to my concerns and were willing to talk through repairs that were needed now as well as those that could safely be deferred. I appreciate the personal customer service and the knowledge they have regarding Subaru's. I feel like I can trust them to give quality work at a fair price and not upsell unnecessary repairs. This is now by go-to shop!

Overall I had a great experience with Oceanworks Berkeley! I was trying to decide whether it was worth replacing the transmission on my 2002 Subaru. Oceanworks did a thorough inspection and gave me a summary of what overall shape the car was in, thus allowing me to make an informed decision, which was very different from the vague diagnosis I had gotten from another mechanic. I would have appreciated more transparency as to what the final cost would be as I ended up with an unexpectedly high bill, but overall felt well taken care of and appreciated the attention to detail.

My 2006 Jeep Liberty had the “check engine” warning light on. Chris used a special treatment to get rid of carbon buildup in one cylinder. No more light, and the car runs smooth. Merci!

Sunny said the service was quick and the staff did what he expected.

Brad said that he always has a good service at this business. He would absolutely recommend them.

I have full confidence in Chris and his team to take good care of my Subaru Crosstrek. It is the first car I've owned and I am the least mechanically inclined person ever. Hence, I love that I have found a mechanic I can totally trust.

John said his vehicle is working better than it did before. He was satisfied. They were nice.

Bottom line is, OceanworksII did fine work for a good price. They kept it the day, and checking in and out was a cakewalk. Very professional. I brought my 2016 Subaru Forester in to OceanworksII for the 30k checkup. We have been Toyota 2wd owners for decades but switched to Subaru 4wd when we found the 2005 Toyota Camry to be underwhelming (and after my frontWD Highlander lost rear end traction when braking on a freeway shoulder). When we had the Forester 30k work done by OceanworksII, we were surprised at the cost. Subsequently, I did some research and found OceanworksII had a reasonable price for an expensive Subaru checkup. Our surprise comes from switching to a car and manufacturer that requires expensive inspections.

Ala said he got an honest quote and the repair done. His vehicle is running well.
