This is without a doubt the best place to bring your vehicle'They are very very caring and despite the age of your vehicle they do the very best ! They are trustworthy and fair in pricing . Can't say enough about Argonaut as they are just the very very best!0i read more

Everyone at Argonaut Garage is friendly, helpful, and reliable! They charge very fair rates and are great at communicating appointments, times, and any issues they found with your vehicle. The front desk staff are awesome! As a young woman I always worry car people will take advantage of my lack of knowledge and up-charge me, but I trust Argonaut and will definitely be a returning customer! read more

I was back in Berkeley when my 2010 Honda Accord had a weird light, VPN or something.. and said, "Check Engine." Not what I wanted to hear 500 miles from home. My niece who worked in a beer place said, "Go to Argonaut. The guys there are great!" So I went, and Dylan looked over the car, checked it out, filled up my oil and said, "Things look fine. Check it out when you get back to L.A." "How much do I owe you?" I asked. "Not a thing." That was so kind of him, yes? Thanks, Dylan! read more

My relationship with Argonaut Garage began with them fixing an emergency light free. I was impressed. But I have been even more impressed with their service. I just got my oil changed and the tires rotated. They were ready for me when I arrived and finished earlier than planned. In addition, they provided a thorough inspection of all my car systems. I unabashedly recommend the whole Argonaut Team. read more

As expected, all elements of the service met expectations. Timely, immediate and future needs flagged. The technology used helps visualize the issues. read more

Second oil change/tire rotation with Argonaut garage. I really appreciate the kind staff and flexibility with appointments. I needed a ride home while my car was being serviced and Elaine was kind enough to called me a lyft and saved me a 30-40mim bus ride home. Affordable oil maintenance for my prius finally! Thanks guys :-) read more

Work was good.. Juke box was broken.

Was referred to Jason and the Argonauts by TD Garage who I usually go to but they are booked a month out! I was able to get in with a day's notice. I did a 15k service here for my Subaru Crosstrek (standard oil change, air filter change, inspection, etc). Really personable staff, thorough work, excellent communication -- they update you every step of the way, and reasonable prices. I brought the car in at 9:30am, and it was all set by around 1pm which was much faster than anticipated. Thank you!! read more

Friendly and efficient service. Good communication with a choice of text and/or email updates as the evaluation and servicing of your vehicle progresses (including photos). Provided information and recommendations regarding specific services, but left the decisions entirely up to me - no pressure at all. read more

Always feel like I am getting honesty and integrity with every checkup and service of my car. They will tell you what is wrong with your car, but then make recommendations based on what you can afford and what is critical to safety and what is necessary just to keep your car rolling. Keep up the great work. You have my business. read more

My Ford Escape was not starting properly. Argonaut diagnosed the problem quickly. When I took it in for the repair they had the car back to me the same day. read more

Excellent service! First time doing repairs to my car so can't really say anything about their prices compared to other places though.

Another great experience with Argonaut -- the cleanest, best-organized shop I've ever seen. Employees all seem in good spirits, which is nice to see. read more

This garage is run by Jason, the same man who runs the Chevron garage up on the Arlington. He was always a very reliable, honest and skilled mechanic and he is continuing the tradition with their bigger shop in Berkeley. I brought my Prius in for some major front end work as well as the annual checkup and they did both exceedingly well for a good deal less than the dealer would charge. I have been taking my Prius in to Jason for several years now and I think he is the main reason it now has over 270,000 miles on it. If you are looking for an honest, reasonably priced auto mechanic then bring your car to the Argonaut garage. You will be very pleased. Gary read more

Brought my Jeep here for maintenance and was very pleased w the outcome. They are very thorough with explaining the condition of your vehicle and how they can help. Was quoted a higher amount than i paid. They even stored my car for me overnight to help with my pick up time needs. Will def be coming here for my future needs. read more

Jason is awesome. The team at Argonaut are all excellent. Very clear communicators, they give regular updates on progress and cost. When my son was buying his first car I took him by the garage and Jason was very generous with his time talking to him. Good people. read more

These guys are amazing. Big shout out to Elaine who kept me in the loop. My repair took longer as a result of part delivery covid has that impact. She worked it out and got it done. Best repair place ever. read more

Trustworthy, reliable, timely, reasonably priced, and knowledgeable--not sure what else you could ask for in your local mechanic. This team is my go-to for everything car-related--they even installed a lift kit on my minivan! Very approachable and friendly with fantastic customer service. read more

Jason and his team are fantastic! They serviced my Tesla at a reasonable price while being completely transparent at every step. The report they share is highly informative with pictures of all parts being replaced or needing to be replaced. They talk you through every detail and did not push for unnecessary work to be done. I will be coming back here with all of my vehicles and will share with all of my friends. read more

The team at Argonaut is super awesome! After having a local dealership quote me hundreds of dollars to even put my car on a lift to "diagnose" what was clearly just a few missing underbody clips I called Argonaut garage; the owner Jason told me to just bring the car by the following morning and they had me fixed up lickity-split without fleecing me for un-needed work. I would 100% recommend Argonaut to anyone. What a stellar service. read more

EVERYONE at the entire Argonaut garage was simply amazing. Our 16 year old daughter mistakenly put diesel in her Toyota CamrySome mechanics said her car wouldn't be fixable, and if it was, the repairs would cost more than the car was worth. Seeing as she had saved for this car since she was 10, she was clearly devastated. Brian took the time to put our minds at ease, as he was pretty confident the shop would be able to fix the car. He was so knowledge that we had our car towed over 30 miles from the mechanic shop it was at to Argonaut...and they did not disappoint! From Brian to Elaine, to everyone that was involved in diagnosing and fixing the car, they truly did treat us like family. Within 24 hours our car was ready to be picked up and we couldn't be more pleased. VERY HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone in the area who needs their vehicle worked on. read more

Wonderful service. Jason and all his staff are super helpful, professional, and knowledgeable.

Great communicators. Jason and the crew worked on my 2011 Kia. My alternator went out and my car was towed to their shop. Once they removed the alternator, they discovered a missing part that drove the AC belt. (removed and never reinstalled from another Berkeley mechanic OOPS!). They gave me a quote and installed the missing part. They were in communication with me through the entire process. Now my car is back on the road and the AC works again too! I couldn't recommend them more highly. read more

Wonderful service. Happy with repairs. I moved to the area at the end of 2020 and needed a new shop for my 2008 Honda Pilot and have been very happy. I have had some substantial work as well as regular service performed on the auto and pleased with the knowledge base and the service. read more

really impressed by the amount of time they took to explain why my tire pressure indicator light went on and how the entire system works. I may not be anything close to a mechanic, but I'm reasonably intelligent and really like learning more about my car and how it works. I've used many other mechanics and always get this feeling like I have to guard my back (aka, wallet) when it comes to the cost and I did not get that feeling here at all. read more

This place always does great work. Reliable and trustworthy, they fixed my truck yet again. Thank you!

This is the first time I have been to Argonaut Garage and I found the service and work to be excellent - better than any other mechanic. They are meticulous and broke down all that was needed in a legible manner. My Lexus had an electrical failure and other things wrong, but they figured everything out quickly, got the parts needed, and fixed it within the schedule they originally stated. Now it works perfectly. I am more than happy about my experience at Argonaut and will be coming back. read more

Great service and Jason went above and beyond to support my additional requests. Everyone in the shop was friendly and engaging and shop was very clean. And most importantly, my car was fixed in a timely manner. read more

Thanks Jason for working on my van. Had to deduct one star because the tech set an airbag fault during repair and I had to reset. Still, I found the service to be prompt and honest and would try again if I need any work done. read more

I've been coming to Jason for essentially 8 years for all my car needs. I've never had a better mechanic. I drive an hour to go to him because I know he stands by his work and will do me right. Also I get to look at all his projects he's currently working on :-) I can't recommend Argonaut garage enough. read more

Jason and his team were professional and friendly. Excellent communication at each step of the vehicle service visit kept me aware of needed repairs and time estimates. They are a skilled and trustworthy team. Jason has been my go-to mechanic for over ten years now. read more

Their mechanic David went above and beyond in finding a issue wiry my older 2007 Silverado 2500 HD. I had a bad wheel bearing and a few other problems all taken care of at one time at a reasonable price . Jason the owner also got back to me wiry a estimate on future work . It's refreshing to find a hardworking and up front auto shop. Thank you for the wonderful service Chris Fine. read more

Jason and his crew are among the truly high integrity shops for car repair and maintenance in the Bay area. First met him when he was on the. Arlington in Kensington --- very upbeat, thoughtful -- like any high quality professional that let's yu know what you need to do now, and what can wait...gives you photos of the repairs, so it's not just his word, but you can SEE the brakes being metal on metal.. He is also an equal opportunity employer with regard to womaen...with high quality people in there...just great to see that ! I brought my Prius in a few days ago and it was unbeknownst to me with quite a number of things needing care at the ten year point...the car feeling a whole lot better now and my feeling safe but also mindful of expenses to be saved for in the next two-three years... My only comment and the reason on the four star is the slight inconvenience in their being on San Pablo without giving you a ride/although they indicated they would use Lyft...may be my own comfort level in not having the car and being stuck...I did manage it through getting a rental over the two day period they needed to have me in the shop... read more

Awesome team! Highly recommend! Helped me identify all the problems with my 87 Ford Bronco II EB

I really like these guys. I'd gone to Art's for years for my other cars but when I got a new vehicle that wasn't in Art's wheelhouse, they suggested Jason & Argonaut. I've been delighted so far. 1) communication. Their text messaging and email system is a well-considered application of modern technology. Text messages keep you updated on work progress and allow you to be notified of discoveries and authorize work through the day. 2) great detailed reports with photos - they don't just tell you "brake fluid needs changing" - they take a photo of the fluid check and explain what they are looking for an why they recommend the change 3) general sense of concern for me and my vehicle. These guys like cars and enjoy the work they do. They are here to help. That really comes through in how they talk about cars and the lack of pressure applied to me as an individual. They identify work that could be done that isn't urgent and make good recommendations on when it could be done. 4) fair prices - everything costs more these days, but their costs are perfectly reasonable 5) extra effort - I've felt personally grateful on each occasion to know about the extra actions their crew took to make sure a repair was necessary, cost efficient, and complete. This shop is a keeper. Get connected with them now before they get to busy to take you! read more

These guys Rock!! Starting from the time you walk up to the door the whole staff is friendly courteous and most importantly very knowledgeable when it comes to trouble shooting the Wierd sounds car shuddering etc.... Long story short just come here and find out for yourself how they operate. Husein was my service advisor and he rocks. The technicians here are very knowledgeable with. Wide range of cars. I brought my Mercedes in for troubleshooting that even the dealership could not resolve. I've read some reviews of other yelpers about how expensive this shop is, but let me tell you they are not skimping on service, knowledge, and actual dealership parts for your service and repair needs. They do this because they want to ensure you are leaving there shop for the better with complete satisfaction of repairs or maintenance done.Any shop that takes care of there employees is a shop worth frequenting for all your needs. read more

Top notch service!! Happy to have found Jason and his crew. Very thorough, transparent, organized and informative every step of the way. Excellent service on my 4runner, on time and even slightly under estimate! Definitely recommend and will return. read more

fast, thorough, and honest. Jason & his team went way above and beyond to take care of my car and to make sure I felt comfortable with the service provided. I've honestly never had such a transparent and positive experience with an auto repair shop, and I'll definitely be back in another ~5,000 miles :) read more

A great team. Jason is straightforward and expert. We have gone to them for years with VW's, Toyotas and Subarus and will keep on going.

Always prompt and informative about the specific needs of my vehicle. Up to date notifications as the service is being performed. In an age where trustworthy garage's are a thing of the past , Jason, Dylan, and Casper are always there for me. read more
