About Us

Karmakanix is and has been one of Berkeley's most trusted independent Audi and Volkswagen repair shops since 1995. With three decades of experience, shop owner Steve Nechodom has built one of the most loyal clientele bases in the Bay Area with customers coming as far away as Santa Cruz, Sacramento and even Alaska!

Recently, we through our first Annual BBQ commemorating the One Year Anniversary of moving to our a new location on Jones Street in West Berkeley. The move proved to be successful and Karmakanix has once again expanded its capability to meet the needs of Audi and Volkswagen owners in and around the Bay Area.

Our mission is to change the traditional ill attitude towards independant shops through honest, knowledgeable, and customer-oriented service by using an easy-to-understand communication approach. This way, you stay well informed throughout your vehicle’s visit to our shop. At Karmakanix, we strive to recommend repairs that address problems directly and ultimately extend the life of your vehicle. While our experienced team is very attentive to your needed repairs, Karmakanix also practices a preventative-measures strategy by taking extra steps to inspect and anticipate future issues your vehicle may encounter.

Karmakanix would like to thank our loyal customers for the opportunity to work with them and their vehicles. We are always more than happy to work with new and old faces, so give us a call or check out the rest of our website for more information.
