Consumer Comments for Narasaki's Automotive & Marine Service

Consumer from BERKELEY, CA

They are great. My car's dealership was recommended needless repairs, even bullying (I gave in), such as an air filter replacement that had been replaced just before the pandemic shutdown. I hadn't driven the car much at all so the filter wouldn't have gotten dirty, and when I asked to see the the removed air filter they said it was thrown away. So the next time when they insisted my brakes needed replacement I took it to Checkbook recommended Narasaki's for possible replacement. Narasaki's said there was no need for replacement, they were perfectly good. So the next time I took my car to the dealership they again pushed me to get new brakes, again took to Narasaki's with same response. I'm now hesitant to trust the dealership but I had purchased an oil filter package which I'm not using anymore because it is such a hassle to deal with them.
