Berkeley Auto Repair

Bruce and his mechanics diagnosed a car alarm problem in my old Subaru, even sought out no-longer produced replacement parts. In the end we decided to disconnect the alarm. He offered reasonable choices along the way and promptly completed the work. I'm grateful to Ackerman's for this.

timely appointment and was even able to change it on short notice; car is running and feeling much improved; all the work done in one day

Ackerman's does great work for a reasonable price! Wish I had known about them before taking my Outback into the dealership for the big 60,000 mile service:( Definatley will use them next time!

Car has been in and out of the shop several times within a month, each time with a different problem. Sometimes we knew there might be something more, but sometimes this came up spontaneously after bringing in the car for something else; new problems would erupt soon after. A simple explanation/discussion each time would have helped make us feel that things were being competently addressed.

Great service. Great price. Dropped off and picked up from BART stop which made my life easy. All in all a very positive experience!

Friendly, courteous service!

Great

Always better than any other repair outfit I've tried, ever. If I hadn't tried Ackerman's, I wouldn't have known that was possible!

Professional quality experience, as usual.

Excellent service, good people. Bruce Ackerman knows how to treat customers "the old fashioned way". It has been my experience that Bruce, who is an independent businessman in the automotive servicing industry, gives his customers the personal interest and attention one does not usually find at big dealerships. And, judging from the excellent health of my Subaru Outback, runs an operation with highly skilled automotive technicians who know what they're doing. Certainly makes me feel safe driving my car and confident in the service it has received.
