Vahe helped us out quickly right before leaving to pick up his kids, and he still took the time to make sure everything was handled properly. He was incredibly kind, honest, and genuinely caring throughout the whole interaction. It is rare to find someone this trustworthy and straightforward in this market, and we really appreciated his help. Highly recommend. read more

3 months later and still a perfect door alignment repair! Ford Bronco came in with a poorly aligned driver door that let in wind noise in driving along the freeway. It's fully fixed! It's a local / family business and you'll be served kindly. Small note they may not accept car drop off due to vehicle space. We drove from Walnut Creek and had to go back home and drop it off the following day so keep that in mind if you're coming across the Bay Area. I would come back again. read more

I had my driver side door replaced a few years back by this shop after getting t-boned. So when I found a replacement door (and hood, which only requires 4 screws to replace since the hinges stay intact) which matched my car's color, I excitedly called them back to see if they could do a swap for me again. I ended up having to call 3 times until I was able to speak with the owner Vahe (sp? ; I'm not sure if he's related to Raj, the previous owner apparently) who refused to give me an estimate over the phone and said he had to 'plug it into my estimate software.' After some additional quibbling, he finally told me that it would probably cost around $600-700 dollars. This amount of money for a simple door and hood swap is ridiculous! It's something I could do on my own time but I just don't live in a place that allows for mechanic work (apartment complex) or access to all the tools. I recall Raj was way nicer and professional about it rather than trying to sound like a used car salesman and sleaze their way into bringing my car to the shop (I would have to ask a friend to bring the spare parts to be swapped since they don't fit in my car, at which point would be difficult to decline the job). Really, really disappointed and I don't think I can recommend this place again. *Update* Very interesting that the owner chose to respond so quickly upon my updated review. Their claim was factually false, as reasons to bring in my car were never discussed over the phone and he repeatedly just stated that he would be plugging in and quoting me whatever his estimate software produced. In fact, they have a button where you can request an estimate right on their Yelp page which makes it even more unbelievable. Would re-iterate to avoid this place like the plague since the new owners obviously did not carryover the honest work from the previous ones. read more

I've used M&M garage several times for body work repairs and recommend them over the common repair chains in the area. They are a no-frills shop that does quality work with clear expectations. If you are looking for a quote, bring your vehicle in and get one from Vahe. read more

This is an honest, family run business providing excellent service and auto body repair. I plan to take my car here for all my auto body repair needs. read more

Our experience with M & M Garage was amazing all around. Vahe was incredibly responsive and informative. The quality of their work was top-notch and pricing very fair. Highly recommend! read more

5 stars in every aspect. Their work is excellent -- I just picked up my car and it looks brand new. I couldn't be happier with the final product. They really take pride in their work, pay close attention to detail and go the extra mile to do the job right. That seems harder and harder to find these days but I'm happy to know that it exists and is part of the ethos at M&M Garage. It extends into their customer service as well. Vahe kept me up to date with everything that was going on with my car, he handled the insurance company for me, and when my car was ready for pickup (and I happened to be out of town) he kept my car safe for me until I returned (which helped me avoid a street sweeping ticket in my neighborhood!). I highly recommend M&M! read more

These guys are Profesionals! Excellent service and quality of work. Vahe is one of the best in the business. You can trust this shop with your special car. Thanks for everything! read more

Great service on repairing my front bumper at a very reasonable rate! Courteous and prompt

Just very nice people, and very good at what they do. I have always felt that their prices were fair. They explain everything in a clear way, and let me know my options. I can not recommend them enough! read more

These guys are great. I came in for a very small scratch on my side mirror debating if it needed to be fixed. They cleaned and waxed the area for free, advising me to leave it as is because it didn't warrant extra work. When I offered to pay, they refused. Truly good and honest people. They also responded incredibly fast to yelp messages and were able to see me within the same day. 5/5 Great Service! read more

M&M is the best garage in town. I've gotten stuff fixed from them a few times, but most recently I went in and asked about a cosmetic tweak to my car. I had scraped up my front bumper, and just went into ask if it would be possible to paint over the damage. The person helping me told me a full service would be required to repair the bumps & scratches on top of a fresh coat of paint that would cost about 1500-1600. He told me he personally wouldn't pay for such a repair, and instead just helped me clean & buff out the scratches -- FREE OF CHARGE! Even though there are still a few scratches left, you can hardly see it and my bumper looks brand new on first glance. He even told me if I care to get the spot under my bumper fixed, I could buy some paint from the dealership and they would apply it for me. I highly recommend this shop! read more

I came in to get my door and mirror repaired after I gave them a little booboo. Oops. They were so kind and helped me with an initial estimate and walked me through the process of using insurance which I had never done before. The repair ended up taking a while (~3 weeks), due to some unforeseen issues. M&m they kept me up to speed at every point in the repair and were highly communicative. I'm very satisfied with the work they did and how seamless the repair process was. Definitely recommend. read more

Our driver side mirror was totaled in a hit and run. Decided to go with M & M Garage rather than the body shop our insurance recommended. They were such a pleasure to work with! Everything went super smooth from the initial estimate to corresponding with our insurance to ordering the parts through to the final installation. Vahe even got us new OEM parts rather than the used ones our insurance recommended. This is an amazing, honest, and talented shop! read more

This is an amazing business, and I cannot recommend it more. I had scratched my car, they did an amazing job, were extremely helpful and also very nice and attentive. Literally the best customer experience I have had with a car repair shop. These people rock! read more

This place is amazing! Echoing what another reviewer said, I had a scratch on my bumper from someone who didn't leave a note. 5th time in 5 years. Each time I've paid my 500 dollar deductible after being convinced I needed a new bumper. The owner recommended I just go get the touch up paint from the dealer and come back. He cleaned the area, touched it up and wouldn't take any payment. Super good guy! Others have testified to their expert work and I can attest to this guy's warmth and integrity to add to that! Not so easy to find! read more

Came here for a repair last summer. So pleased by the pricing, quality of repairs, and the customer service. Very personable, and they worked hard to have my car back to me within a relatively quick timeframe! read more

I think I speak for most people: the quality we want in a garage, other than the qaulity of work, is honesty. M&M garage has both. I came to M&M to repair what I thought was a significant scratch/dent in my Toyota RAV. Prior to coming to M&M I got an estimate of $2,200 to repair the damage. Vahid (I hope I am spelling his name correctly) took one look at the car, and said: I can fix it for you for no charge. A full repair will cost you approximately $2,000, but I can clean it up and you will not know the difference! And so it was! Using rags and some liquids, Vahid did his magic. When he was done, there was no visible scratch, and the minuscule dent that was there, was barely noticeable. The door now looks like new. And Vahid refused to take money! He could have done the same "magic" when I wasn't around, charge me $1,000, and I would have thanked him, a lot. But he was honest, and nice, and an expert. I would give M&M more than 5 stars, if I could. read more

I rarely leave Yelp reviews, but I truly appreciate the service at this place. I came in asking for a touch-up quote because my Model 3 had a scratch on the rear bumper. However, Vahe informed me that they don't do touch-ups or work on Teslas. Fortunately, I had a touch-up kit with me, so I asked if he could apply it, and I would pay him for his time. To my surprise, Vahe offered to do it for free. I was shocked because I've heard of places charging for touch-up services. It's refreshing to know there are still good people in this world with strong ethics and integrity. If I ever have a major paint repair issue with any other car, I will definitely take it to M&M Garage. read more

Came here to see what to do with a multi-panel scratch with black streak on the side of my car. Vahe was straightforward with my options (another place I went to threw me all those jargons) and was also very honest about what he may be able to achieve with the less expensive option ( which is half the price as the other place). He also gave me consultation on necessary mechanic fix i will need to go. I am very satisfied with the result and the look of the car with the cheaper option! Thank you M&M. read more

I had to get a shattered fog light fixed. M&M was responsive from my Yelp inquiry and also via the phone. I went in and Vahe greeted me courteously and treated me with respect. He was straightforward and explained the cost involved. After we discussed, he ordered the part, which came quickly. Vahe's team fixed it as per his explanation. He even buffed a scratch on my car and gave me advice on whether or not I should get other scratches / bumps fixed. I really appreciated his integrity - his team was very nice too. I would go back to his shop again. 5 stars and excellent service!! read more

I love these guys! I have been going to them for years after reading so many positive reviews. And, every time, they have been honest and caring. As a woman who knows nothing about cars, I am so used to feeling I am being talked "down to", or being lied to. I have brought my car to them after major accidents, and regular things as well. I have NEVER felt that these guys have anything but my best interests at heart. I can not recommend them enough. read more

M&M is the best body shop I've ever worked with, and Vahe is a communicative and caring owner. Our car was badly damaged in an accident and he was a trusted partner in getting it back in shape. He was fully engaged, listened closely, offered helpful and honest advice, and stayed in close touch so I always knew where things were in the repair process. We are lucky to have found him and M&M garage. read more

Very responsive on yelp and took the time to explain everything in a thorough and friendly way - would come back as needed

I wish I could give more stars. The short story is that Vahe offered to help me clean up a large scrape on the side of my van and charged me zero actual dollars. My van looks 1000x better than before he worked on it and I couldn't be more grateful, but I think the real service was his kindness and generosity. I'm trying not to sound sappy in a review for an autobody shop, but I just can't help it - we need more people in the world like Vahe. Anyway, I will never take my cars anywhere else for body work. read more

Someone backed into me in a parking lot and left a very small (hard-to-notice) crack in my bumper. The person I spoke with at M&M said I'd have replace the bumper and repaint the entire vehicle to fix it. He inspected the placement of my rear lights and asked about the sensors -- everything still works OK, so he recommended that I do nothing. I appreciate his honesty! He also offered to buff it out (as best he can) for free. Excellent, honest service. Thank you! read more

Fast, courteous, expert service. They are the best body shop around. Very reasonable rates as well.

They replaced the door mirror for my toyota camry. They did quality job. Highly recommended if you live in Berkeley and surrounding areas.

M & M Garage is THE best body shop in town! My vehicle was hit by a distracted driver, causing extensive damage to the driver's side door and front panels. After a visit to M & M, it looks brand new! Their body repair and paint match was absolutely perfect. The owner is also a delight to work with. He's very kind and professional, and helped me navigate the insurance claim without any stress. I'm immensely grateful to this shop, and won't take my vehicle anywhere else in the future. Included: *After* photo of my vehicle, post-repair from M & M Garage read more

Really quality work and extremely nice staff. So refreshing after trying to deal with the big chain body shops. I cannot recommend as highly as they deserve. They even straightened my license plate and did touch-up on other parts of the car. 10 stars! read more

Vahe was very honest and helpful when I brought my car in to get repaired after a collision. This is a family owned business that treats their customers well. Pricing was also very reasonable. read more

Vahe, his family, and his team continue to stand out as the best in the city. I dropped by for a plate removal, and his father took the time to pry the stubborn license plate off, clean it off, and fasten the new plate on. Although it seems like a simple task, it proved to be a tough challenge and required numerous tools for the removal. The family owned business continues to uphold their values of community and integrity- this is one of the only car mechanics I have ever been to where the people are genuinely kind hearted and have a passion for helping others. I won't go anywhere else but M&M Garage for any car troubles! read more

I was driving a borrowed 2008 car and had a minor collision in a parking lot. Although the accident was minor, the damage was significant. I chose M & M Garage after reading tons of reviews on Yelp and Google about different auto collision shops. When I got to M&M I was amazed to read so many glowing reviews for any sort of car repair shop (folks love to gripe). When arrived, I explained to Vahe that I had to keep the repair off the owner's insurance. In other words, I would be paying out pocket and my pockets are not exactly deep. He was so understanding and immediately suggested ways to economize, such as searching for after-market parts, re-securing instead of replacing the headlight, and hammering out and repainting a dent. He also offered clear advice about insurance options. Vahe is an outstanding and patient communicator. The car came out looking as good as new. I wish I lived in the Berkeley area so I could make M&M my permanent auto collision facility. read more

I was involved in a minor car accident. I have black paint smear on the driver side of my car. I have no knowledge about car and Vahe was very patient with me. He helped me clean and buff out the paint smear. I bought touch up paint from the dealer. But because there were no scratches, he did not even need to apply the paint. He did all that for me free of charge. He is honest and has great integrity. I highly recommend this shop and they definitely have my repeat business if I ever need auto body repair work done again. read more

I dreaded taking my car in when I found that someone had dinged my passenger-side door, so that the door made a scraping sound every time it was opened or closed. I had just had the front end of my car replaced from another collision, and it cost me a few thousand dollars. My old body shop had closed down, and I jumped on Yelp to see what I could find in the neighborhood. M&M came up with consistently high ratings, so I took the car in for an initial look. They walked around the car, saw the problem, and said that I could check back in after a couple of hours. They also said that if I wanted, they could have their neighboring mechanic check out a mechanical problem for me during the same time-line. I thought that I would be receiving an estimate (probably thousands of dollars again...) after the two hours, with another estimate for the mechanical problem. But when I called, they said I could come in and get the car... my door problem was fixed for $120. And the mechanic said that the issue we wondered about was not an urgent problem and could be attended to at some later date. The place is modest in size and not fancy, but they are friendly, thoughtful, work with integrity and charge a very reasonable cost. I recommend them wholeheartedly. read more

Highly recommend!! Vahe was friendly, professional and informative. Car looked like almost new, was cleaned and washed - beyond our expectations. We were amazed and grateful for the workmanship. Vahe worked with insurance seamlessly and kept us in the loop throughout. There was a comfort level of knowing our car was in good, honest hands from start to finish. Will definitely return, if needed in the future, and will not hesitate to refer to friends and our maintenance service group. read more

These guys were passionate to repair my Mercedes w124 wagon. They were willing to work carefully to preserve the car since parts aren't easily available. They finished the job ahead of schedule and it was affordable. Very satisfied. 10/10 would recommend read more

Everything you read in these reviews is true. This was without a doubt, the best experience I have ever had when buying, repairing or getting maintenance on a car. I have a "vintage" Sienna minivan that inadvertently tapped a guardrail on an offramp which damaged the bumper and driver side fender. Additionally, the driver side door made a really loud screeching noise whenever it was opened...after reading the reviews I went to see M&M. Literally, the first question was, "Do you want it to look like new, or do you want us to fix it and make it look presentable?" After pricing out the cost of replacing everything to make it look new ($3,000+ in Toyota parts) we agreed that a fix to make the car safe and look decent was the route to go. My car was fixed the next day for slightly less than was estimated, and looked BETTER than expected. I cannot rate these guys highly enough. You can TRUST these guys to tell you what your options are, give you realistic prices and then overdeliver on what they promise. Additionally - and just as importantly - they are really nice, friendly people. It was an absolute pleasure to work with them. read more

M & M is run by a father and son and have been in the area for some time. Despite living in Berkeley for 25 years I didn't know about them until I found them online. They were professional and honest when talking about the repair to my car, giving me a fair quote and realistic time frame. read more
