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.
