Berkeley Auto Repair

Friendly and timely repairs. Recommend them for all Volvo repairs.

I have been having my Volvo serviced at Ackerman's for quite some time. I always find it easy to get information and get my questions answered by Bruce Ackerman, the owner. The work on my car has always been done professionally and when the car is ready, I have received a phone call to let me know. I recommend Ackerman's if you need to service a Volvo or a Subaru.

I wish we'd known about Bruce's Volvo shop months ago ,after 2 shops with no help , Ackerman's fixed in 2 1/2 hours . Honest ,reliable , friendly and most reasonable shop in the bay area . We're at peace now knowing We Have the best Volvo mechanic .

Fast, no nonsense tune-up, good service, good price.

Great service, availability, communication and work!

Very helpful. Great communication and great work. I will go back for future repairs.

Dedication to helping us with the problem with our old Volvo was way above just normal service.

My 2008 XC90 won’t go anywhere else. Bruce, the owner, is the epitome of integrity. He is honest, kind and knowledgeable. I drive from Pleasant Hill; it’s worth it, knowing I can trust Bruce and his staff. Thank you Mr. Ackerman!

My dreaded kryptonite is the check engine light and Schedule Maintenance alert on the dash. Several months ago the check engine light came on and I could not get into the dealership, I called Ackerman’s and like magic I was told come in… and poof, Ackerman’s fixed the problem and all was zen with the world. And the experience was wonderful. So, when the regular Schedule Maintenance light came on I’ve trained myself to go to the dealership… no big surprise, that maintenance would have to be scheduled a month out… so, I call Ackerman’s on a Friday and was told… bring it in on Monday… well, now I’m committing myself to use Ackerman’s over the dealership. The owner is super friendly and listens. Just got the 2010 XC60 back and it’s like new again. Thank you!

Bruce and his team are friendly, professional & knowledgeable. I've had my Subaru Outback serviced here more than once and I've been completely satisfied each time, I've had major and minor service done here. They do great work!
