Is your 2010-2015 Toyota Prius stranded while you wait for a replacement catalytic converter? They have been on back-order from Toyota, and the average wait time is 2+ months currently. If you or anyone you know is in need, we have a limited supply of genuine Toyota catalytic converters for the 3rd Gen Prius. Give us a call at 510-540-7093.

Hi All!

Well, I think we can all agree that it's been a year for the history books. As the finish line is finally in sight we want to thank all of you for helping us keep our doors open. Many of you braved the unknown to have your vehicles serviced or repaired with us, and we are grateful for your trust in us.

We will be closed from December 25th to January 3rd, returning on January 4th with normal business hours. If you have an emergency or need to consult us for car questions, we will be monitoring and answering questions via email. It may take 24 hours for a reply, but we will reply. The link can be found here:

Here's looking forward to better times. We are wishing all of you the best for the New Year. Happy Holidays, stay positive, and we look forward to seeing you soon... but not too soon, as so many of you jokingly tell us.

Hi All! Trying times are upon us, but we want to let everyone know we will be open through the 'shelter in place' order, as auto repair is considered an essential business.

We’ve always had sanitizer dispensers in our office on both sides of the customer counter. The office is a place where people touch the same phones, pens, PIN pads, etc., and we’re doing our best to minimize the risk to both our customers and our employees with regular wipe-downs.

We hope you and your families are doing well in these trying times.

Hello All!

Art's Automotive will be closed for the holiday week. Friday December 21st will be our last business day, and we will return on Wednesday January 2nd.

If you have an automobile emergency, we have a few friends in the industry who should be able to help. In no specific order, try Fred's Wrenchouse in Alameda, Berkeley Minicar in Berkeley, Argonaut Garage in Berkeley, Oceanworks in Berkeley, or Berkeley Bob's in Berkeley.

If you have a question for us that is not urgent, or would like to schedule an appointment for the new year, email us at [email protected] and we will usually respond within 24 hours.

Our tech columnist took a three-day test drive in the car that’s really one giant connected gadget. He says cars won’t ever be the same.

This project is about 40% complete. Anyone have a guess as to what the total labor time might be on a project like this?

Hi All! Well, it feels like it's time to start posting interesting automotive articles, news, and fun facts, and while we are getting our creative juices flowing we want to let you know we now make keys, with all the programing and cutting done in-house.

Stay tuned for more...

A very interesting article on Tesla. On the one hand, they are a fledgeling company trying to get a foothold in an industry dominated by much larger players. On the other hand, there are some genuine concerns one should have when considering the purchase of one.

My take is, make sure you have deep pockets once out of the warranty period, or expect to take a big hit when trying to re-sell the vehicle down the road.
