don’t let the humble building facade and parking lot fool you, it’s what‘s on the inside that counts! I express my recognition, appreciation, gratitude, and awe, that Chris and his team has been able to keep the business running all these years, a testament to their knowledge, dedication, and quality of service. they can service a large variety of vehicles, will detail and prioritize recommended work for older ones, and get you back on the road at a fair price. They’re usually booked out and busy; consider adding your car to their workload!

So there we were, moving my two adult sons from Iowa to the Bay area by way of a family roadtrip. I'm pulling the camper with my Ford Excursion. Stopped off in CO and there is smoke billowing from under the hood. Got it to a local mechanic and he gives us the bad news: leaky oil gasket and front end transmission leak! I live paycheck to paycheck (who doesn't these days) and we were on a tight two-week schedule to get back to Iowa. I called around to a few places in Berkeley ahead of when we'd (hopefully) make it to town. Trevor took my call and said they were pretty booked but would try to get me in the following week. Made it to our destination that Friday afternoon, and Trevor got back to me Monday morning. He explained everything, helped me prioritize what to fix versus what could wait until I got back home. Julio worked on the truck all Monday and we were back on the road the next day, only 1 day behind schedule. It was a freaking miracle. These folks were awesome, start to finish. Super nice, didn't condescend to me as a woman, didn't try to upsell me, showed compassion for my situation. I can't recommend them enough. And my son now has a mechanic in Berkeley. He'll be coming for new brake pads any day guys! Thank you again, you saved our vacation and my sanity.

Chris was incredibly thorough and helped us solve multiple issues with our Subaru Outback in no time. Our rear brakes were squeaking. They were under warranty with Holland Service, so they replaced them without any issues. We also knew our front brakes needed to be replaced, so they took care of those as well. While that work was being done, Chris noticed our valve cover gasket, that we had replaced last service, was leaking again, so he replaced it under warranty. When he was fixing it, he noticed the gasket was cracked, and replaced it at cost with no labor. I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service and care provided by Chris and the team at Holland Service.

I couldn’t recommend this shop enough! Great guys working there… Chris and Robert helped me out and got my Tundra work truck back on the road in less than 24 hours after a rear end collision.
I’m a contractor and a deal with a lot of different shops. I must say this is one of the best automotive repair shops I’ve ever dealt with. Stop your search for a great mechanic in Berkeley and head to these guys!
A+++

Chris and the team at Holland (shouts out to Jiro!) are the honest, communicative, knowledgeable, efficient, and cool mechanics of your dreams. Off road and on road expertise. These guys are it.
I'm a mechanical engineer who's never let a shop touch my custom 4x4 van (I built it myself). Unfortunately, earlier this year I hydrolocked my engine on an off-roading trip, and don't have access to a shop space to do an engine swap myself. A worst nightmare for someone like me.
After scouring google and yelp looking for a well reviewed spot that works on off road rigs, Chris and the team at Holland (aka Berkeley Off-Road) were the top of my list. I went by the shop and once I saw Chris' personally built custom rock crawler and Grand Wagoneer, I knew I'd found the right people. They have not disappointed.
Jiro has since swapped a new engine and transmission into my van, with Chris communicating issues along the way and letting me decide how best to move forward. Heck, they even let me know when to come see the first start (!!).
Do you like your truck or car? Bring it to Holland Service. A mechanic's shop by car people, for car people.
I can't begin to describe how nice it feels to know that if I need, I have a shop I trust. Priceless. Keep places like this in business.

Best shop in the Bay!
I’ve brought in two difficult trucks with some non-standard issues and Chris, Trevor and Julio were all able to problem solve the issues and keep the price down as they did it. Cannot recommend enough, and Kristina was always very helpful keeping me in the loop and answering questions as they came up.

Had the pleasure of working with the Holland Service Auto Repair team today. Every specialist I worked with from front of house to the back. Especially mechanics Trevor and Julio for translating my objectives into reality. The craftsmanship and experience shows. Car is driving great. I recommend.
