Shopping for a reliable used car can feel like navigating a minefield—unless you come to Berto’s. We hand-select every vehicle in our lot, and our transparent, no-pressure approach helps you drive away with confidence. While a handful of customers have reported issues with certain vehicles, these experiences are the exception rather than the rule.

Notary Public & One-Stop Car Sale Services

Paperwork can be a headache—especially when you’re juggling license plates, registration, title transfers, and insurance. That’s why Berto’s Auto Repair offers comprehensive notary public services alongside direct access to Harrisburg’s online registration and insurance systems. “One of the only open spots to get everything for a car sale (plate, registration, insurance),” raves one client.

The Human Touch: Friendly, Considerate Staff

Behind every great shop is a team that truly cares. At Berto’s, you’re not just a ticket number; you’re a valued neighbor. Customers constantly highlight our staff’s kindness and approachability. “Friendly people … even tried helping while there had other work to do,” notes one patron. Another adds, “The kindness of every single person I interacted with … treat me like family, with a lot of love toward what they do.”

Tool Lending Service: Your Backup in a Bind

Need to do some home repairs or a quick under-the-hood fix? We’ve got you covered with our unique tool lending service. It’s just one more way we go the extra mile. “They lend me a tool so I could get my issue fixed … Friendly! Nice people,” a reviewer notes. By offering access to specialty tools you might only use once, we empower DIYers to tackle smaller jobs without investing in expensive equipment.

Value, Professionalism, and Areas for Improvement

We’re proud of our fair, competitive rates and transparent billing. But no business is perfect, and we take customer feedback seriously.
