Bertel O. Steen AS Reviews 

🚫 My experience with Berteen og Steen Ålesund — a warning to othersJust a heads‑up to anyone planning to use Berteen og Steen Ålesund for car troubleshooting.I recently paid 4000 NOK for them to diagnose a defect. After paying, I asked for the part number so I could understand exactly what needed replacement. They refused to disclose it — effectively keeping the customer locked into their service and preventing any comparison, second opinion, or independent repair.In my experience, that feels like:
“Open your wallet and throw your money at us, and don’t ask questions.”
Whether you choose to use them is up to you, but I personally prefer workshops that are transparent, share part numbers, and treat customers like partners rather than captives.Just sharing this so others know what to expect.

This place is out to steel your money. Do not trust. They lied about buy price of a lease bil. told me I could buy the car after 5 year lease for 80-90 thousand. When I wanted they changed to 148 thousand only if I buy that day. When I take the car back they offer 120thousand. Bad way to do business..Now they try to steel my 30.000 deposit stating I missed a service . Even though the van had not been used.. Very Bad Company, DO NOT TRUST them get everything in writing...

Skien workshop. 3008, 2010 model. Abs warning lamp - possible wheel bearing. Workshop changed bearing and sensor - claimed it took nearly 3 hours and demanded 8000kr. After discussion they reduced to 7500. The bill showed no proper breakdown of expenses or which wheel they had changed. (It would have been nice also to have the old sensor - to check if it really was necessary).
Circa 2000 km afterwards another garage who were changing our tyres reported that the bearing was wrong. Took car to a proper workshop, who claimed the bearing had been "montert skeiv" - mounted wrongly. They contacted Bertel Steen and the bearing was changed under guarantee as a "faulty part".
ONE YEAR LATER- the sensor they changed failed, too!
I suspect that an unqualified mechanic did the original job. Obviously, I cannot recommend this workshop.
