Bruce Tanaka has been into cars all his life apparently -- and YAS Auto is where it all comes together! Bruce is .... the PhD walking encyclopedia of automotive repair! But unlike Einstein who allegedly would get lost in thought and have to have a special path to walk so as not to get literally lost walking home, Bruce is a guy who then takes all that knowledge and FOCUS, then works with his HANDS on complex car illnesses, Japanese makes no problem but he and his buddies have what he calls a "brain trust" and I've taken my Ford truck and Chevy in as well.Very likable and fascinating points of view on things, with a Zen calm, and just one of the best mechanics I know - -and I've met many, having owned probably too many used cars in my lifetime. He is also a youthful 60-something Berkeley native, so .... get in to see him for your auto repair needs. He tells me he's not retiring any time soon ... but he is slowly and at his own pace, winding down. Prepare to wait a bit for your first appointment..... Doomo arigatoo Bruce Tanaka!

Bruce always takes care of us and always provides excellent service for all of our cars. Fair priced and outstanding work. I recommend Yas Automotive to anyone looking for a mechanic !

Yaz is great. My family has been going to Bruce for decades. You can trust Bruce to advise you as if you were family or as if it's his car. They are the best!!

Bruce is the best mechanic around!!! He has kept our 2 cars on the road for years. He always notices little things that need taking care of and just fixes them. He is honest and fairly priced...a rarity in todays world.

This is the best place to have your car taken care of! Bruce treats everyone's car like it's his own or like you're part of his family. I have had other estimates for work on my Honda CRV, that were way off! I was fortunate enough to be introduced to his shop. I tell everyone to go there if you want the absolute truth about how to make or keep your car running at it's best. You can't beat this shop! It's worth the drive from my town which is 40 miles away! Highly trustworthy, knowledgeable and friendly, too! You won't need to go any where else!

Bruce has worked on my car for about 4 years, successfully keeping it running smoothly, which ain't easy for a 19 year old accord. His recommendations have been on target and his prices very fair. Highly thought of. great reputation.
