“Patti’s is quite simply the best mechanic I’ve ever been to. Caring, attentive, honest, and kind. Can’t say enough good things about the team there and the care they’ve given us and our car!”

“Needed to get a tire patch quickly on. Saturday morning. The Big-O on San Pablo recommended it after telling me it would be a 90-minute wait. Thanks Big-O. Orozco’s was the perfect solution.”
“Great service for all your vehicle tire needs plus More. Auto Option has been my choice for over 20 yrs. Single owner, Bill, has long time knowledgeable employees. He also offers brakes, tire sensor replacment, alignment, oil changes. Very convenient location near REI & Whole Foods & bus stops. Also has a waiting room.”
“the BEST. The staff is extraordinary, I seriously mean it. So genuine, informative and helpful! The service is thorough and cost efficient. Highly recommend for Teslas!”

1513 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley“I ran over a nail and needed my tire patched quickly because I'm going out of town. I showed up and they got the job done in 10 minutes. Thanks for the help!”
“They were reasonably priced, very pleasant and honest. They could have tricked me into buying a new tire when all it really needed was a patch. When I do need new tires, I will definitely go to this place. Their shop is immaculately clean, and they have a nice waiting area.”
“You guys saved me ! Jarrell's a keeper. The only issue I had was my car was sitting there for quite a while and I had to ask if it was 'done'. Whew...thanks again BIG O !”
“I bought a used Subaru WRX. It died the day I got it (sad). I had it towed to a repair shop to replace the obvious problem (a broken serpentine belt). They said that it was running rough (gross misfires on all cylinders) but couldn't figure it out. I had it towed to another garage. They couldn't figure it out. I had it towed to The Model Garage. They did figure it out: party of the broken serpentine belt got into the timing belt.
The Model Garage solved the problem and did so with good communication and reasonable (low even?) costs. I will return there the future.”
