Advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint check-engine lights, rough idling, and performance issues — so we fix the real problem, not just the symptom.
Complete brake inspections, pad and rotor replacement, fluid flushes, and ABS diagnostics. Your safety stops here — literally.
Oil changes, fluid checks, filter replacements, and manufacturer-recommended service schedules — keeping your car running smoothly mile after mile.
Fluid services, filter replacements, and thorough transmission inspections to catch wear before it becomes a costly breakdown.
Struts, shocks, control arms, and alignment — restoring the smooth, confident ride your vehicle was designed for.
Battery testing, alternator and starter diagnosis, wiring repairs, and lighting — tracing electrical gremlins with patience and precision.
For years, Amatsa Auto Shop has served the Berkeley community from our location on San Pablo Avenue — a stretch of road that has seen this city change in countless ways. What hasn't changed is our commitment to doing honest, thorough work.
We know that car trouble can upend your day. That's why we treat every vehicle that enters our bay with the same care we'd give our own — diagnosing carefully, explaining clearly, and completing the job right the first time. No shortcuts, no unnecessary upsells.
Whether it's a routine oil change or a complex repair that other shops turn away, we bring the same standard of craftsmanship and integrity to every job.
We've earned the loyalty of drivers throughout the East Bay not through flashy advertising, but through consistent, reliable service and the kind of personal attention that turns first-time customers into neighbors for life.
Clear estimates before any work begins. We explain what's needed, what can wait, and why — so you're never surprised.
Our team brings years of hands-on experience across domestic and foreign makes, tackling everything from simple tune-ups to intricate repairs.
We stand behind our work with service guarantees, using quality parts and proven techniques to ensure lasting results.
"Amatsa has been my go-to for years. They diagnosed an electrical issue two other shops couldn't figure out. Fair price, honest advice, and they actually call when they say they will."
"I brought my car in for a brake job and they spotted a worn strut that could have become a safety issue. They told me about it upfront and let me decide. That's the kind of shop you hope to find."
"Finally, an auto shop that treats you like a person instead of a wallet. They explained everything in plain language and never tried to add work I didn't need. Highly recommend."
