About The Best Shop

True to its name, The Best Shop has been a fixture in Downtown Oakland since 1978, earning a loyal following for its expert care of high-end European automobiles. Originally founded by John Uyeyama and now located in a historic brick building on Auto Row, this independent service center specializes in Mercedes-Benz and BMW maintenance. The shop blends old-world craftsmanship with modern technology, utilizing state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to solve complex issues that often baffle other mechanics. The Best Shop is distinguished by its commitment to customer satisfaction and detail-oriented service. The team is known for their "savant-like" mechanical knowledge and honest assessments, ensuring that clients receive accurate competitive quotes without unnecessary upselling. They take pride in their work, going so far as to wash every vehicle after service so it returns to the owner in better condition than it arrived. For drivers seeking a reliable, highly trained alternative to the dealership, this shop offers a personalized and professional experience.
