VW Diesel Service?

Looking for the best independent VW shop in Berkeley / Oakland.

For nearly 20 years my Japanese car has been taken care of by the excellent crew at Art's Automotive on San Pablo..

Now I need to find the VW equivalent of Art's. Specifically someone adept with VW diesels.

Someone suggested Berkeley Auto Service (2809 San Pablo Ave. Berkeley)

Any opinions, or other recommendations?

(Not looking for opinions about the corporate mendacity of VW and the diesel emissions scandal, thanks!)

Thanks,

Sam.

I don't have a diesel, but have done well at Karmakanix (Jones Street, Berkeley) who specialize in VWs and have taken good care of my Passat. They came recommended by a Berkeley body shop as the best in the area.

I used to take my New Beetle and my Audi to Fritz and Peter's in Oakland. Smaller shop, they work on all the VWs and I really felt the owner was an honest guy. I have a newer VW now, so I go to the dealer, but would go back to Fritz and Peter's when I get out of warranty.
