Berkeley Auto Repair

The window controller in my door handle began smoking when I started my car. Adam got on the phone & walked my son through instructions on how to remove the part, so that I could drive my car safely to Ackerman's. The part was replaced, & my car was tested for safety.

Very nice talking with Bruce before I brought the car in for service. I was very impressed with his ability to listen to my full explanation of the problem and what I had done so far. .. Work was done the next day as promised, and the extra problem they found was explained and accepted. Drive to BART and interesting conversation on Bruce's background was appreciated after I dropped the car off.

The car is driving almost as good as a newer suv. You all did a fantastic job by not only fixing a lot of necessary repairs but doing the utmost repair which was descovering that the turbo booster was in need of being replaced which is contributing to my car running smoothly with more power in acceleration. The tires makes a big difference also. Thank you for referring me to Joe's tires. I can definitely feel a difference in how the car runs on bumpy roads and freeways.

Glad to have a reliable and honest service shop nearby. Keep up the good work as so many of us rely on you to keep our Volvos running smoothly.

Excellent work - done in a timely manner. The price was also excellent

Excellent prompt and polite service. Very skilled. Reasonable. Thanks !

I was very surprised that my car was taken after calling the night before for them to take a look at the oil leak. Very friendly and quick service. I only waited for about 20 min.

Ackerman's provides wonderful Volvo and Subaru service. The mechanics are very skilled and are prompt in completing a job. After seeing the results of the first job, I immediately made an appointment to do the major service involving the changing of the timing belt. Ackerman's is a community-friendly business dedicated to both its customers and the larger community. I was impressed when I first brought in my 2009 Subaru Outback to 1) receive a first time discount; 2) receive the invitation to have my name placed in the lottery for a possible dinner at Chez Panisse, and 3) the offer to make a donation in my name to a favorite charity. Wow! What a generous combination of offers!

So far I am please with the servicing on the XC90. I received honest dependable advice from the service technician, regarding the current concern and also the future maintenance. Keep up the good work on our Volvo traditions.

Thanks for your help on short notice!
