Berkeley Auto Repair

These guys are fantastic. They found very hidden problems that the dealer couldn’t, and fixed them! Bruce is always friendly and helpful. So glad I switched from Volvo service in Walnut Creek to ackerman’s.

Bruce and his team are the best. They keep my 2001 Volvo running. Bruce is great at finding parts for my old car. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

The check engine light came on my car, took it to two different shops and 2k costs later, the engine light came back on. Got a suggestion to take my car here, and within hours they were able to diagnose the problem. They were able to get the problem fixed that same day at a reasonable price. They also fixed my driver side sun visor and the folding latch for my third row seat. Very quick service and staff was very nice and accomodating. Although the drive in and out is during rush hour, still wouldnt hesitate to take my car back here for any future services.

Bruce did a great job with my Subaru. I brought it in for a regular service at 70,000+, but when Bruce told me I’d missed my 60,000 mile service and could get it done that day I was grateful. My car is very happy !

Knowledgeable, honest, and prompt. Couldn't ask for a better experience and they saved me thousands from a local Subaru dealership that was recommending something completely incorrect.

I brought my car in fearing the worst—possibly a blown head gasket. The team at Ackerman’s diagnosed the issue quickly and, instead of pushing an expensive fix, found a far more affordable solution. On top of that, they finished the job with lightning speed. Finding a good mechanic is like finding a soulmate—once you find the right one, you never look back. That’s exactly how I feel about this garage. Highly recommend!
