Nate's Green Garage

This review is long overdue. It’s probably a genetic defect, but when I think about cars, my mind fills with white noise. Thankfully, Nate has the intelligence and expertise that I’m missing.

However, more than a car expert, Nate is a thoughtful and kind human.

For example, the day before I had to go out of town, my car started exhibiting alarming behaviors. I needed a quick diagnosis and fix. And although he was slammed, Nate squeezed me in. And he was thoughtful and friendly.

I don’t expect people to go above and beyond in this way, but I notice and appreciate it when it happens. And I think it deserves special mention. So here’s my special mention, a few months late.

Thank you, Nate.

Nate is trustworthy, friendly, and an expert at his craft. How many people look forward to their next service cycle? With Nate as my mechanic, I'm always happy to head in.

Nathan is an excellent person and runs an excellent business. I have been taking all of my cars here for over a decade. He is an honest mechanic and earns my trust every visit. Would give more stars.

Nate is a Prius Whisperer who cares more deeply about his clientele than almost any other small business owner I’ve ever encountered. He has helped me out time and time again with various car issues, in an efficient, communicative and friendly manner. The definition of going above and beyond the call of duty. I use my car to make a living, so time is money, and he understands that. It means the world to have him close by, now that I live in Berkeley. I feel so taken care of when I come here. His wife is also extremely sweet, as is everyone else on his staff. I feel very fortunate to have him as my mechanic, and he deserves the highest recognition and accolades for his dedication and service to the Prius community. Thank you Nate!!!!

Nate is the most honest mechanic I’ve even known and will forever have my business! I’ve been bringing my 1998 Jeep (now rehomed) and my 2011 Prius here for years now so this review is long overdue!

I also recently had my catalytic converter stolen and was expecting to pay a ton of money for repairs but Nate told me to check with my insurance to see if I had coverage and I DID! He saved me a ton of money AND put custom welded protection so that this hopefully doesn’t happen again.
