Bruce Tanaka has been into cars all his life apparently -- and YAS Auto is where it all comes together! Bruce is .... the PhD walking encyclopedia of automotive repair! But unlike Einstein who allegedly would get lost in thought and have to have a special path to walk so as not to get literally lost walking home, Bruce is a guy who then takes all that knowledge and FOCUS, then works with his HANDS on complex car illnesses, Japanese makes no problem but he and his buddies have what he calls a "brain trust" and I've taken my Ford truck and Chevy in as well.Very likable and fascinating points of view on things, with a Zen calm, and just one of the best mechanics I know - -and I've met many, having owned probably too many used cars in my lifetime. He is also a youthful 60-something Berkeley native, so .... get in to see him for your auto repair needs. He tells me he's not retiring any time soon ... but he is slowly and at his own pace, winding down. Prepare to wait a bit for your first appointment..... Doomo arigatoo Bruce Tanaka!

Yaz is great. My family has been going to Bruce for decades. You can trust Bruce to advise you as if you were family or as if it's his car. They are the best!!
