About
Berkeley Minicar is an independent auto repair shop that has been servicing Hondas and Toyotas in Berkeley for more than 30 years. Berkeley Minicar takes pride in doing quality work when servicing your car. Our long-term technicians are extremely knowledgeable about the needs and idiosyncrasies of Hondas and Acuras. In fact, many of us worked at Honda dealerships before Berkeley Minicar. We can tell you why the engine light is on in your late model Hybrid, while keeping your vintage Civic wagon running smoothly. We always use the best quality parts and the same diagnostic equipment that Honda dealers use, and remain current on all maintenance requirements. We perform all of the services needed to meet or exceed your Honda/Toyota warranty. You will find that Berkeley Minicar is not your typical garage. Mark (the owner) takes pride in maintaining a clean, neat and organized shop. Many of our technicians have worked with Mark since 1980 and the sense of loyalty and mutual respect are evident.

5 stars PATRICIA H Customer since 2010
I’ve been going to Berkeley Minicar for over 30 years. The service is top notch. All the staff are professional, courteous and friendly. They happily share information about my servicing, always thoroughly answer questions and share thoughts on the auto world. Their fees are reasonable too. Best choice for Honda and Toyota servicing!
5 stars RUTH S Customer since 2010
Excellent service provided by technicians and customer service representatives. My car was fixed without overcharging or telling me 1 million things I need to do. Everyone was very nice and my car was cared for quickly and efficiently. Thank you Berkeley Minicar!

5 stars VERA F Customer since 2011
Best service ever! They did better than the estimate! Friendly, efficient, and competent. I highly recommend this place! They even told me how to fix the faulty tire pressure light on my other car so I didn’t need to bring it in. They are the most trustworthy shop in town.

Friendly, professional and prompt
5 stars TERRY/KYLE W Customer since 2010
Berkeley Mini Car is consistently the best car repair service that I've ever had. I've been taking my Hondas to them for over 35 years. They kept an old 87 Accord running well over 330K miles and always have the best customer service, advice and attitude......they are like my family. Now that we have a 2011 Pilot and a 2020 Accord, we wouldn't take our cars anywhere else. We like passing on good advice so now, our other family, church members, and friends are equally satisfied with the quality and confidence that BMC provides. Don't change a thing BMC.

5 stars DAVID C Customer since 2010
They paid the usual close attention to the condition of the car and made coomon sense recommendations. All as I’ve come to expect, I’ve been briging cars to them for a very long time.

The dentist was really kind when completing my fillings. He made sure I was comfortable, understood everything that was going on (which gave me back some power as the patient), and gave affirmations for what was going well. Also special shout out to Brooke who during my first appointment for a cleaning, took time to explain things, provide reassurance, and gave advice - her presence was calming. Thank you!Read More …
