Asian auto repair & maintenance in Berkeley, CA, specializing in Toyota, Honda, Acura, Lexus & Scion

Berkeley Minicar is an independent auto repair shop that has been servicing Hondas in Berkeley for more than 30 years. Berkeley Minicar takes pride in doing quality work when servicing your car. Our long-term technicians are extremely knowledgeable about the needs and idiosyncrasies of Hondas and Acuras. In fact, many of us worked at Honda dealerships before Berkeley Minicar. We can tell you why the engine light is on in your late model Hybrid, while keeping your vintage Civic wagon running smoothly. We always use the best quality parts and the same diagnostic equipment that Honda dealers use, and remain current on all maintenance requirements. We perform all of the services needed to meet or exceed your Honda warranty. You will find that Berkeley Minicar is not your typical garage. Mark (the owner) takes pride in maintaining a clean, neat and organized shop. Many of our technicians have worked with Mark since 1980 and the sense of loyalty and mutual respect are evident in our “family” atmosphere. We all are committed to making sure you, our customers, feel confident that you are receiving the best service value, and experience possible.

The quality of their work is consistently outstanding, and they often go above and beyond what we anticipated. It's rare to find a shop that combines technical expertise with such genuine care for its customers. Everyone on the team is honest, highly capable, and truly committed to doing the right thing.

What stands out most is the level of support they provide. They take the time to explain things, offer practical advice, and make sure you leave feeling confident that your car is in the best possible hands.

If you're looking for an auto repair shop that values integrity, craftsmanship, and customer service, I can't recommend Berkeley Minicar highly enough. They have my highest recommendation, and I wouldn't hesitate to send friends and family there."

"I had a great experience with Berkeley Minicar, and I especially want to give a huge shoutout to Antonio. He really took care of me and my Honda Pilot and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right.

Antonio is genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve dealt with at a repair shop. He was honest, helpful, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience stress-free. You can tell he actually cares about his customers and takes pride in his work.

It’s hard to find a shop and people you feel like you can trust, especially when it comes to your car. Antonio definitely earned my trust, and I really appreciate how well he took care of me. I’ll absolutely be coming back to Berkeley Minicar. Highly recommend Antonio and the team!"
