Berkeley Auto Repair

After working on cars since my teens, a long time ago, and with top race car engineers and mechanics, I reply on the wrenches at Griffin Motorwerke to take care of my current driver, a 26-year-old A4 with serious tweaks, care that has made me good with road-tripping solo for than 25,000 miles in the past few years and road trips to come.

It was great but in didn't get my receipt..

Found them through great online reviews and they completely lived up to expectations. Honest, highly communicative, and professional. What I wish all auto repair shops could be!

Ok, it might take a little while to get your car... but that's because this place is in high demand, and with good reason. My 2012 991 suddenly flashed a record 19 error codes, and I had it towed to Griffin after calling to confirm they'd accept it, without ever having done business here before. Natalie at the front has been wonderful to work with since that initial phone call. The initial prognosis was a new transmission. I had done a bunch of AI research, which I mentioned sheepishly, thinking they must get this all the time and hate it; instead, they asked me to send it over. I did, and the next day they called to tell me they looked into it, sounded plausible, and the remedy was a replacement sensor. It wasn't an OEM part, so Griffin went through the trouble of signing up for an account with the vendor, ordering the part and replacing it. It worked, and the job was likely 1/3 the cost. A+ I hope not to need to see them often but won't mind heading in to work with Griffin again. Gave me a wash and vacuum to top it off. Thank you!

I highly recommend Motorwerks. When I need work performed on my vehicles, I do not hesitate to get them to Griffin Motorwerks. They have proven to be very professional and Humberto Ortiz also known as Curly has surrounded himself with a good group of individuals who provide outstanding team work which produces great in results!

The team of Griffin motor works, turned what could’ve been a routine visit into an exceptional experience. From start to finish they communicated with clarity, professionalism and genuine care, keeping me informed every step of the way, while treating my ‘09 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, as if it were their own. For anyone, who owns a foreign vehicle, finding a Service team that combines deep expertise and integrity and attention to detail is invaluable and Griffin motors delivers on all fronts!!. I travel 20+ miles one way to have Griffin service my vehicle. I pass other European repair shops along the way, but beyond the quality of the work itself, Griffin provides something every vehicle owner owes themselves, real piece of mind knowing your car is in capable hands, and that you can trust the recommendations and Service you receive.

We thank the Griffin team for the excellent service provided for our 2004 VW turbo cabriolet. Even though our VW has over 300,000 miles your team keeps it running like new! We look forward to the Griffin team keeping our VW running safely and efficiently into the future.

Great customer service, great communication! Quick and effortless diagnosis and speedy repair.

I recently had Griffin Motorwerke install a full set of Newspeed Wheels and Falken Ziex ze950 tires on my 2010 Mini CooperS. They did a great job and I could not be happier, the ride is much cushier and the black Matt finish wheels look beautiful. A special thank you to Natalie who did extensive research on finding quality wheels! Same day service was an extra plus, two hour turnaround was easy, the shop is located within walking distance of restaurants, and many other businesses so the wait time was a pleasure.
