If you are ever in a bind, check engine light on, need urgent repairs and quality work please go here first.

The name says it all. I prefer to work with small businesses where the owners have skin in the game. The guys were prompt, courteous, and on-time. I brought both of my vehicles in for smog checks and will be back when I need any repairs.

He spoke with everyone in the order in which we sat in the waiting room…

Nice staff. Quick and efficient service.
I have been going to Reliable Auto Repair for past several years for all my vehicle maintenance needs. Michael has always taken good care of our cars with just the right service. Never pushing to sell anything unnecessary, just the o nonsense service. I'll always be going to them first for all my auto care needs.
My family has been going to Reliable Auto Repair for over 20 years, and they’ve always lived up to their name! The team is professional, their work is exceptional, and they get the job done fast. It’s rare to find a mechanic you can trust completely, but Reliable Auto Repair has earned our loyalty time and time again. Highly recommend!
I was extremely pleased with the overall experience of this company. From the moment I first walked in the door I was greeted with a nice smiling gentleman who made me feel at ease about my auto issues. They fixed my issue promptly. I will definately return as needed and refer all my friends to Reliable.
