“Orinda Motors is the best garage I have ever been to. The service coordinators (Tara, Jamie) are very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. They are courteous and will give you all the time required to describe your vehicles issues. Then will make sensible recommendations to fix the issues. They take pride in their service and treat customers with respect. Once the service provided does not require a follow up visit as they take time to make sure everything is working properly. The pricing for services is reasonable and there are no unnecessary recommended. I would very highly recommend Orinda Motors for your next vehicle service.”
“Finally got my tires swapped here and the whole thing took under an hour which was great. They were super busy but still found time to rotate them for no extra charge. Realy helpful staff and i didnt feel like they were trying to upsell me on anything I didnt need... Alot of tire shops feel sketchy but this one was straight forward.”
“I always come to Costa Auto Care - for both routine maintenance such as oil change and for larger repairs as required. They are honest, professional and thorough.”
“Really excellent service! I got a low pressure notification and called. I love that they’re mobile so I could just stay in one place without risking driving further. Within half an hour a technician arrived, who did an excellent job finding a nail in my tire and repairing it. Fast, thorough, and good prices! Thank you!”
“I do not normally leave reviews, but the service was so exceptional I had to. If you are in Berkeley and having any car difficulties, this is THE place to go. Everyone at the business is kind, patient, and thorough. They made me feel so heard, and were so patient in explaining what was going on with my car. I can't say enough incredible things about the service and this business! I will definitely be back if I need anything.”
“Was there to get a tire pluged with a appointment at 10:30 Got their at 9am and they took me in earlier. Very nice guy that works the front desk. They were fast and did a great job. So much better then Firestone down the street on San Pablo. The people at firestone lie bad!!! Go to Tire Choice much better”
“The Model Garage has a winning business strategy based on integrity and customer service. When Ernesto ordered the wrong part for my US manufactured Toyota Camry, he offered to comp a scheduled headlight lens restoration to make up for my inconvenience. That kind of service goes a long way toward building customer loyalty.”
“The warning light on my Mercedes came on indicating there was a problem with the battery or alternator. Trent fit me in and got the problem solved promptly within 24 hours despite the fact that the shop was quite busy and their schedule filled. The work done was outstanding and Trent service was equally exceptional.”
“Been going here since 2019 for all my tire and brake services on cars. Dirt path may turn off some, but I and wife prefer Larry's over our local Hercules shops any day!”
“My family has been bringing our cars to Ace Auto Care for almost a decade. They’re friendly, honest, and reliable, and we’ve consistently had great experiences with their service. We’ve definitely had trouble finding mechanics we trust in the past, but Ace Auto Care has earned our confidence year after year and I highly recommend them!!”
“I had a great experience at this auto shop, especially since it was my first time there. The service was fast, and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Brian and Richard were so helpful. They both patiently answered my questions on the phone. Brian helped me while I was in the store, and I had a very efficient experience. He presented me with different options and the pros/cons. My tire replacement service took just over an hour to finish. I also received text message updates at every step of the process. Quick and painless experience!”
“I usually get apprehensive when going to get my car serviced, however I appreciate the transparency with the photos what needed repairs and for the great customer service.
Thank you!”
“Mechanical work seems to be fine, but someone was not very careful with my added trim on my door and smashed it while closing the door causing a great deal of trouble in fixing it to reattach.”
“Not much work was actually done on the car but I was bringing it to an auto body shop soon and wanted to check that it was mechanically sound first. Dana confirmed that it was and I was good to go. Just a little touch of kindness, they vacuumed the front carpet and told me I needed to replace my 8 yo tires.”
“AVN Motorsports wouldn’t patch my tire and instead tried to sell me a replacement tire plus labor for $410. It turned out to be a simple patch job.
I called A1, they gave me a time to come in, checked out the problem, gave me a clear price upfront, and got it done. No upselling, no fuss, straight forward service. Really appreciated the experience.”
“My splash guard was dragging on the ground and Jeet fixed it in a couple of hours on a Saturday. Every other shop was busy but he took me in and got it done. Thank you Jeet! ❤”
“Jorge and the other folks at Alec & Angel's are exceptionally careful and thorough with tires and my car. On Thursday, June 25th, I visited Alex & Angel's Tires with an emergency repair due to my sidewall getting torn up on the parking ramp at UCSF Berkeley Outpatient Center. These ties are run flat Michelin tires that retail at $390 each - my Chevy Bolt EV has no spare tire - and I needed my car usable ASAP. Jorge go the job done in less than 15 minutes, because he had a used tire that matched my current set. I inspected it as a former mechanic - it was in very good condition with thread depth comparable to my set of tires. And the discount for used (vs new) was great!!
If I need tires again, even a new set of 4 tires for any car, a tire repair or a simple tire inspection and pressure check, I will head directly to Alex and Angel's, even if I half to drive some distance to get there.
Attached is a photo of Jorge and me.”
“Very helpful and honest people. I brought my car here couple of times for tire related work. If they cannot do it, they will promptly forward you to the correct person. And if there is no major work and walk they will honestly let you know that there was nothing wrong and will not charge you for that. Strongly recommend these folks...”

“Mr. Orlando and his crew are awesome. Came to get a wheel alignment he noticed that My tire light was on. I told him that it was the sensor other shops wanted to charge me like $170 for each tire but he said let me check something. He check my spare tire which had five sensors and he said that’s what’s making it low because I needed air and he fixed it. The light went off. I am so appreciated and I believe in God‘s favor. He didn’t try to rip me off took care of the problem without charging me.”
“Very good work
Very good workshop
Very good customer service and everything perfect. I recommend them 100% to everyone, they do an excellent job.”
“I was referred to Fred by my friend/classmate/co-worker. They were friends growing up. Fred did an excellent job for me. So far I know I can trust his work, and I will be taking this car and my other Honda to him for maintenance and repairs. Thanks Fred & Crew. I recommend this shop for repairs that are too big/complex to handle and it’s a great alternative to going through a dealership for repairs. If you live in the Concord area, stop by and say hi to Fred. Cheers”
“My tailpipe rusted off and for a good price replaced it. Had everything done within an hour and a half, then noticed an exhaust leak which they welded back the metal. Definitely will be coming back when work is needed under what they can do. They do more than exhausts, and will do breaks, suspensions and radiator changes.
Thanks to West Coast Muffler, my truck is back to its usual peppy self and with them finding that exhaust leak in front of my muffler, i can feel better acceleration and no more excess noise coming from my exhaust.”
“Quick, easy, straightforward and excellent pricing. Drove up, found a tire and was out within 15 min (maybe got lucky on timing but still..) bring cash - will be going back again when needed”
“You will never find a more expert and honest tire, wheel, alignment, and frame expert than Luke, the owner of Turbo Tires. I am tough to please, and he absolutely did.”
“Mike took good care of me. I changed 4 tires. They worked on it right away. They also have a promotion on the tire buy 4 get one free. They also have a nice and clean waiting area.”
“The staff was friendly, professional and very efficient. Changed all six tires on my RV in a couple of hrs. I appreciate the quality of their work and will recommend them to friends and family. They are a true blessing.”
“I've been dealing with owning a car in the east bay for decades, and so have had experience at quite a number of service places. Don's Tire comes out at the top - they can get pretty much any tire you'd like, and quickly, unlike so many shops, they underpromise and overdeliver. My experience has always been friendly, efficient, no nonsense service, with the car ready when promised, or sooner, and top quality workmanship. Prices are absolutely fair. I just wish more businesses could be like this one!”
“Really good experience here. Alex charged over $1000 less than Berkeley garages for a Honda CRV A/C compressor replacement (which comes with a 2 yr warranty) + new brake pads. He also got us in the day after we called and finished within a few hours. I'll definitely be returning.”
“Wow. Best money I have spent in years. My regular mechanic pointed out a nail in my tire and said they couldn't patch it and needed to replace the tire, but because my car is AWD, they had to replace all 4 tires, even though the tread was good on all.
Orinda Tires patched my tire in under 10mins for like $25! In and out. I am coming here for everything for all my car repair needs going forward!”
