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.

I can say Berkeley Minicar is a place I can trust. They are very polite, explain things well, and the prices are reasonable. And you don’t have to wait a couple of weeks when making an appointment.

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!

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!
