Re: Honda of Oakland Service Center? (Sept 2005
The best mechanic for Hondas, hands down, is Berkeley mini car at the corner of Dwight Way and San Pablo. I will never buy anything but a Honda since I found them 12 years ago. They are extremely reliable, trustworthy, honest, skilled, and friendly. If they don't do something and they recommend someone to do it, whoever they have recommended has been good as well. If you want a mechanic, I strongly recommend Berk. Mini Car. Everyone I know thinks they are great. Good luck. Susan S

Re: Honda repair shop for oil changes, etc. (June 2005)
I've always been a huge fan of Berkeley Minicar, which is Honda- only. It's on the corner of Dwight Way and San Pablo. Way back when, when I had a car I could actually work on myself (a 1979 civic), Berkeley Minicar folks were always really generous with time and advice for me. Since then, they've had many opportunities to ''find'' hidden problems during diagnostics, and so far they never have. I have always noticed this as proof of their honesty. One of the reasons I keep buying Hondas is because I think a good mechanic is worth his/her weight in gold, and so I'm sticking with a good thing I found 20 years ago!

Berkeley Minicar on San Pablo in Berkeley. They are excellent - great about doing regular maintentance and prioritizing what work may need to be done to your car in the future. They are a bit busy so using them must generally be planned (they are excellent about getting your car in on an emergent basis if needed). My husband and I have been using Minicar for years and have been absolutely pleased with their professionalism and quality of work. '91 Civic Owner

Re: Mechanic for 1988 Honda Accord (June 2004)
I recommend Berkeley Mini car. They only work on Honda's and I used them for many years and was very satisfied with their work and service. They were also a good value. elit

Re: Mechanic for 1988 Honda Accord (June 2004)
Berkeley Mini Car at Dwight and San Pablo works only on Hondas. I have taken two Hondas to be serviced there for more than 10 years. They are honest, competent, responsible and fairly pricecd. When they tell me something needs to be fixed on my 93 Accord,for instance, they will also tell me how long I can wait to fix it So I never feel I was pressured into fixing something that might not need it. I highly recommend them. Satisfied Honda Customer

Hondas: Berkeley MiniCar at San Pablo and Dwight.

We've been taking our Honda Accord to Berkeley MiniCar at San Pablo and Dwight for at least 10 years, since the car was new...... they are reasonable and they only fix Hondas. From Kenny

I would highly recommend Berkeley Minicar 2498 San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley 841-1221. They only work on Hondas and Acuras and are very honest and treat women with respect when discussing car repairs..

From: Ana

We take our two Honda to Berkeley Minicar, at the corner of San Pablo and Dwight, in Berkeley. We have been using them for about two years now and have never had any bad experiences. A few times, I brought the car in, believing that it needed repair, and they would just make some adjustments and not charge anything!! After they did this a couple of times, they won our trust. I don't have their phone number now, but I'm sure you can find it in the business pages.

From: Christina

We take our Honda Accord to Berkeley Minicar on San Pablo at Dwight. We've been happy with them--nothing negative to report. They do have a friendly and knowledgeable woman who works with clients--a definite plus in my book! I think they also have a shuttle that can bring you to BART, etc.

From: Trish H.

Berkeley Minicar (2498 San Pablo at Dwight; 841-1221) is wonderful. They only do Hondas and are extremely reasonable. They explain what has happened and how best to repair it. They will tell you just how long you can go before brakes wear out. Also, it's easy to drop the car off and then take the bus up Dwight to campus.

From: Katherine

I've been extremely happy with Berkeley Minicar at the corner of Dwight and San Pablo. Phone number is 841-1221. All my Honda-owning friends go there also and if we needed to buy a new car, we all would buy another Honda just to continue going to this place -- they work only on Hondas.

From: Nancy

We have used Berkeley Minicar on the corner of Sacramento and Dwight for many years and 3 Honda Accords. They only work on Hondas and really know what they're doing.

From: Eleanor

We have always taken our Hondas to Berkeley Minicar on San Pablo near Dwight. They are Honda specialists; it's the only make of car they work on, and we have always been very satisfied with the work they do.
