Berkeley Auto Repair

Just great, as usual!

I was referred to Oceanworks by a friend. After reading reviews on Yelp, I called to ask if they were familiar with my 20 year old 2002 Toyota MR2, a two-seater with a mid-engine. Not a common car and very compact re: working on. I wanted to work with a business that knew this car inside and out, given its age. I asked Oceanworks to do a full inspection of the car, as my previous mechanic lost his business during COVID in 2020. I also was having difficulty with my transmission; it was making noise as it shifted from 4h to 5th gear. The clutch was original as were the rear brakes. After close inspection we decided to rebuild the transmission, replace the clutch, replace the rear brakes and rotor and replace the battery. During each step of the work I was kept informed and had discussions that helped me make decisions regarding what direction I wanted to go, given the age of the car. Bob and Brian were knowledgeable, informative and patient with my questions. The repairs were done in a timely fashion and my little roadster is back on the road purring away. One other note - I had to wait for my ride when I first brought my car and spent about 20 minutes in the office observing a busy Monday morning. I was very impressed with the organization of this shop and the genuine friendly and respectful nature of the interactions with clients and staff. I was truly blown away by this place!!!

Recently brought my car in for a service and wasn’t totally happy with the results. After I noticed something was off, I contacted Brian the owner and he told me to come back and that he would make it right. And that he did. Super happy with Oceanworks and Brian for helping resolve my issue in the most honest and professional way possible.

I've been a loyal customer of Oceanworks for 23 years, and for good reason. The staff is honest and friendly. They have always made my wife feel very comfortable when she brings her car in. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Still highly recommended after the change of ownership a few years ago and Natalie's departure. Good work, explained well, reasonable price, and I am convinced that there was minor work they could have done but felt it was not necessary yet so should just be checked again next time.

As usual, Oceanworks provided primo service.

I recently chose Oceanworks as they are a certified Subaru service center. Brian, Chris,Daniel and the Team at Oceanworks are refreshingly patient, efficient, honest, and professional. I highly recommend any Subaru owner to take their vehicle to them.

Billy at ocean works really went above and beyond by assisting me with a critical car issue after hours and over the weekend. I am much obliged

I've been taking my 2005 Chevy Equinox to Oceanworks for 2 years. They've been very professional and upfront, telling me what areas of the car needed immediate help vs issues that could wait to be fixed, quick turn around time, fair pricing.
