Louise and Carlos always take care of me/my car! They’ve gone above and beyond in their customer service the last few years I’ve been going there. They’re knowledgeable, honest, and keep my car running. Louise and Carlos, thank you!

It is a pleasure to visit the folks at Walsh Brothers…even though it may mean something is wrong with your car. They are all highly competent, friendly, efficient and reasonably priced. I wouldn’t take my Volvo anywhere else! I look forward to seeing the people who work there because I know I’m in good hands. No huge corporate culture at Walsh Bros!

This is a great auto repair shop at reasonable prices. They find anything that is a problem and fix it, but don't push for work that can safely wait a bit longer. I find them completely trustworthy. Plus, they are friendly, efficient, and in an emergency will squeeze in a regular customer. I first found them 40 years ago. I left when I bought a car brand that they didn't work on (at that time), but I recently returned and find them to be the same dependable, trustworthy shop. I've used many other shops in the Berkeley area and never found a better one.

I recently visited Walsh Brothers to address the check engine light issue with my Volvo V50. I traveled 50 miles because I was looking for a place that specializes in Volvo cars and offers fair prices.
The engine light was triggered by various problems related to the fuel pump and fuel pressure sensor. I was impressed by the honesty of the team; instead of fixing everything at once, Carlos suggested starting with replacing the fuel pressure sensor, as the one in my vehicle was meant for a different trim and not suitable.
After driving my car for a day, the check engine light disappeared along with all the codes. Additionally, the smog test passed successfully after 2 days.
I had a pleasant conversation with Louise over the phone; she was incredibly kind and helpful. Carlos provided all the necessary information and was equally supportive. It's evident that they are sincere individuals who prioritize customer satisfaction over making unnecessary repairs or providing inflated estimates.
I am relieved to have found a reliable place for future servicing of my vehicle. I definitely recommend Walsh Brothers for any car repairs.

Walsh Bros. Is a great place to take your car if you want the work done right the first time. Carlos doesn’t do a ton of small talk or smiling BUT, I don’t care. I WILL NOT take my car to ANYONE but Walsh Bros.

My 1993 Jeep Wrangler was VERY sluggish to start, and getting worse. My livelihood depends on my car running well; it was the weekend, and I was in a panic. I called my regular mechanic first thing Monday morning, but they were booked up. Walsh Bros. is just down the street from me, so I decided to try them. Carlos took me in right away! They diagnosed the problem, replaced my starter motor, and my Jeep was ready to go in 3 hours! Great service, great people, great prices!! They have a new, loyal customer!

I've been going to Walsh Brothers for many years to keep my 2002 Volvo in good shape. They are always reliable and transparent with the work being done. Highly recommended.

My car is over 10 years old and I have been taking it to Walsh Brothers for at least the last 7 years. I have found them to be consistently professional and straightforward regarding pricing and repairs that are absolutely necessary and ones that can wait. Over the years I have also compared pricing for basic services like new brakes on a Mazda 3, for example, and although nobody does it inexpensively, I found Walsh Brothers pricing to consistently be hundreds of dollars less than others for comparable work. Like a good dentist, it's nice to know someone who's familiar with your setup and history and realizes that repeat customers are more important than a quick buck. Looking forward to my next visit.

Their work is excellent, they deliver on time, the crew is personable & friendly and the prices are more than fair. I've lived in Berkeley now for 30 years and I can say they are probably the best independent garage in town.

When I heard that Walsh Bros. was moving I was prepared to drive for a long long time in traffic to their new location. The service I have gotten on my 85 Volvo has been perfect. How glad I was to learn that they are now located right in Berkeley at Ashby and Shattuck Avenues -- 2051 Ashby Ave.Both Louise and Carlos have a wonderful way of talking about cars that I am easily able to understand. Also when they say something that is exactly what they mean, and I always know it will be done just as they have said.That would be enough for me to keep coming back, but there is more.They will fix something they see, that we have not discussed, and just fix it-- at no charge. For example -- I had a bent fender for a long time and after I picked up my Volvo and drove it home I noticed that fender was fixed!I hate to recommend places because then I am responsible if something goes wrong. With Walsh Bros. I don't have to worry about that -- that's how certain I am about recommending Walsh Bros when ever I can.
