Consumer Comments for Montclair Auto Tech

Consumer from BERKELEY, CA
Jul 09, 2024

I've been taking our two cars to Montclair Auto Tech for several years. They've done an excellent job on our 2015 Subaru Outback and 2013 Volvo S80. Ali and Charlene are good listeners an important skill. I also feel that they're honest with their customers. I was looking for a shop that I could trust and establish a long term relationship with. I feel that about Ali.

Very honest and knowledgeable. Recently have lost a bit of interest in working on older Volvos.
