Berkeley Auto Repair

I took my car here twice, first time to repair brakes there were rusted up from the decade of winters and seasons in Chicago. Job well done. This last time was another thing entirely, since it was a story of revival, or more aptly in October, resurrection. Basically, some components of the engine assembly were rusted and worn out and failing. Car was dead. Won't start. It happens. Some of them were overdue for inspection and replacement, my bad. It required only a few parts to replace and tune up for the fix. I took it another place I shall not name down the street where I was told the engine is "dead, it won't turn. It is an older engine and not a very common car thus is $3k plus labor it would be $4k total. or. we can buy it for $200." Dead. Silence. I knew something was up, had it towed here to get it checked out, professionally, and so glad I did. The engine does turn now. Turns out is was mainly the A/C compressor being frozen, not allowing the engine to turn over. Also, the acc belt tensioner assy. Either way, whatever it was, they did it, worked fast, and accommodated the tow truck, ordering parts to ship is to the shop and constant communication throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend Oceanworks for any auto, mechanical, electrical, tuning up, whatever your needs are, this is the auto shop!

They do good work but have become so expensive. While I had the car in repair for another issue I thought I'd ask them to change the headlight. This is a 5-minute job that I've done before but thought it would be easier for the pros. It was literally $114 to change a light bulb, labor only. Not even counting the $15 for the bulb. When I asked them they were unwilling to amend the price.

Helpful, fast, went the extra mile when I was in a pinch

Have been a client for over 30 years and have received excellent service on all my vehicles -- and my kids have used Oceanworks as well, with equally good results.

Great customer service. They always take the time to talk out a job. We were recommended this place for our older Toyota. We’ve been happy with all the work done here.

Great shop , honest , & they go out of there way to make sure that your cars needs are met .

I called at about 2:45pm and Brian called me Right back. I explained my problem to him and he told me to bring my car in. Within an hr the problem was fixed. He was very nice and efficient when having his staff fix my car. I have found my new car repair shop. Prices were reasonable and location was very accessible.

Updated Review- I've been bringing my car here for about 1.5 years now and love the service I receive. The staff are nice and always communicate what they are doing, how much they think it will be etc. I had one small issue upon picking up my car once and they immediately fixed it and took accountability for it. That alone is great customer service. So glad to have this gem in my area and I'm happy to be a returning customer.
