I can't say enough great things about Holland Service on San Pablo Ave -- and especially Chris…read more My beloved Lexus had a major electronic system failure -- no heat, no A/C, no reverse camera, and a completely malfunctioning screen. Chris received a $17,000 estimate from the dealer to replace the entire system, which was pretty shocking. Instead of stopping there, he went above and beyond to find a specialized vendor who could repair the system, saving me an enormous amount of money. He also handled all the coordination with the vendor and oversaw getting everything reinstalled and working properly, which made the whole process seamless on my end. Throughout it all, Chris kept me informed every step of the way. His communication and follow-through were excellent, and I always felt taken care of. This came after a disappointing experience with my previous mechanic of six years, who offered no real solutions and treated me poorly despite my loyalty. Needless to say, my loyalty has now shifted. If you're looking for someone honest, resourceful, and truly willing to go the extra mile, Chris and Holland Service are the real deal. I highly recommend!

Service advisors Curly, Natalie, Righel, and Chops make everything smooth and straightforward.

After two decades of consistent excellence, this shop remains my unequivocal recommendation for anyone seeking the best independent service.

This is a Critique of the Owner/Manager, Nicknamed, Curly, of the Automotive Business, Griffen…read moreMotorwerke, in Berkeley, CA. I had been a first-time customer this year, 2026, and when I paid my bill, I had asked Curly, now nicked name, Surly, if he could use my credit card to pay 1/2 the bill now, and 1/2 the next month. Surly agreed, and Griffen received all the $$ I owed! The recent second time I had to use their services for my 2005 BMW Z4, I was given an estimation for a tuneup. When I arrived to deliver my car, I again asked if he could take 1/2 the fee now and the other 1/2 next month. This then desended into a diatribe of insults and humiliation in front of all the office employees present! Surly started to berate me, and said he would not do what I asked, since this would compromise his employee monthly payroll; we are talking about ~$620! He continued his diatribe, while laughing at the thought of what I wanted him to do! I could have answered him, but the utter stupidity of this scenario to belittle me, in the presence of his office staff, was enough to make me get up, take my car keys, and leave! He could only laugh that's how out of touch Surly is when it comes to customer relationships. as the owner and manager of his business. One last scenario I had the first time I took my car to Griffen. I picked up my car, and found that the two seat belts were tightly strapped on the seats, and I was not sure how to release them. I got Surly to come out and show me how to release them, and mentioned that a mechanic must have tighten them. Surly became very agitated, and yelled that none of his mechanics would do that! I replied that he had my Z4 for 2 weeks, and I did not tighten them myself. I thought that Surly must have a hard time with the truth! Finally, there are better BMW sevice businesses elsewhere in Berkeley, CA, for example, Autometrics! Dr. Richard H. Fish, Senior Scientist Chemist

1 star only...because 0 isn't an option…read more I booked an 11:00 a.m. appointment for an oil change in advance. I wasn't a walk-in. When I dropped off my car, I was told it would be ready around 12:30-1:00 p.m. and that I'd receive a call when it was done. I decided to stick around the area. At 1:00 p.m., after waiting two hours, I walked back to check on the status and found that they hadn't even started working on my car. When I told them I was leaving, the employee suddenly asked if I could wait another 10-15 minutes because he could "start it now". So frustrating. My scheduled appointment meant absolutely nothing until I complained and I was not interested in a rushed oil change... If your business can't honor appointment times, don't offer appointments.

We used to go to another local shop nearby that was just terrible..they will happily take your money without delivering quality work. Finding Drew's Automotive Services has been a total game-changer. It's a wonderful husband-and-wife run business, and both of them are so genuine, welcoming, and kind. Getting to know them has been such a great experience. On top of that, he worked for years at a Toyota dealership and worked his way up, so knowing he has that solid background and expertise brought so much extra peace of mind when he serviced my Toyota! He has been extraordinarily patient with me, taking the time to thoroughly explain everything, answer all my questions, and double-check every detail so I feel completely confident in the work being done. Plus, his pricing is super fair and reasonable. He isn't out to overcharge you or push unnecessary work (feels rare these days)... he gives you real, honest value for exceptional quality. The professionalism and care that he and his team bring to every job is unmatched. Our family has trusted him with multiple vehicles now, and the results speak for themselves. After he replaced the control arm on my dad's car, my dad couldn't stop talking about how smooth the drive was. Even after a recent oil change, my dad immediately noticed how much better and responsive the car felt. He also did a full brake service on my previous Toyota and the quality was top-tier. Honest, transparent, reasonably priced, and skilled mechanics who take genuine pride in their work are extremely rare! they are truly a diamond in the rough. I'm so relieved to have found a team I can trust, and I'm excited to have them service all my future cars. I almost hesitated to write this review because I know how busy he's going to get, but they fully deserve it! 10/10 recommend!! (Side note: I intentionally held off on writing a review right after my first service because I wanted to make sure the consistency was there over time. After having him complete multiple services on two cars and building that genuine trust, I can 100% say it's time, and the praise is well earned!)
