Michael, the owner of Reliable Auto repair provided excellent service from start to finish. The work on our grandson’s Ford Mustang was outstanding.

Whent for a squeeky rear brake job and they figured it out quickly were the noise was coming from and fixed it now brakes are quite I appreciate the honesty and hard work you guys do this was for my 2002 Chevy Tahoe I'll be coming back for your business thanks again
Reliable Auto is a gem. I've been getting my vehicles serviced here for more than three years, and they always take care of you. With other shops, you're always second-guessing the price they quote or the quality of the work — not with this team. Price, quality, and communication are number one every time. I won't take my vehicles anywhere else.
Another shop didn't think our KIA soul was worth fixing, and seemed uninterested after leaving it with them, but Reliable got er done and we are driving it again and very happy!
Awesome shop! This place always leaves my car running like new. All staff are knowledgeable. The customer service is excellent here! Highly recommend
My Toyota RAV4 has been in Reliable Auto Repair’s hands since 2015. I have never had a problem with getting appointments, having the car serviced and repaired. They simply are the best!
Michael and his team are life-savers. They are the absolute best. They have been my designated auto care specialist for over a decade now across two long-running cars. They are professional, extremely skilled, honest, reliable, and very reasonably priced. They communicate well and are very responsive whenever I…
I have always had a pleasant visit at Reliable. I brought in my car to have the air conditioning system checked out. They fixed it right away.
My 11 year old car came out if Reliable Auto running like a teenager. They did a fantastic job; honest, fair, outstanding service front and back office. I continue to use them for all my car needs. Thank you, Reliable!

The best auto repair shop at San Jose area. Amazing job / very fast / TRUSTWORTHY If you want a reliable mechanic for the rest of your life , that’s your choice !!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been a long time customer at Reliable Auto Repair. I bring all my vehicles and always recommend friends & family. The staff is terrific and very professional. Long time customer or new to the shop. Michael & his crew are always welcoming and friendly.
Reliable auto repair asked what was wrong with my car and listened to me answer. They were able to quickly schedule a plan for diagnosis and repair. I never felt rushed. My Prius needed a new hybrid battery. The repairs were done quickly and my car drives like new. Worth the cost of repairs which was $2500 for new hybrid battery and.$500 for labor.
Everything was perfect. The issue was diagnosed and the estimated cost to repair was electronically communicated after only about an hour. To my surprise, I was back in my car the same day. Reliable has been my go to shop for over twenty (20) years! Their professional, friendly service is what I need in times of car troubles.
Quick turn around and very accommodating with scheduling. It's nice to find a local capable shop that is reasonable, honest and knowledgeable. They are more interested in resolving my problem than trying to sell additional services.
My family and I have used this Auto Repair for many years and have been very satisfied with the service.🌟The service is excellent and prices are comparable. The customer service is also very good --listens and puts the customer first. Highly recommend for your car repair needs. You won't be disappointed.
I have been going to Reliable for over 15 years! When you need your vehicle fixed without hassle or miscalculation, Reliable is the way to go. They do excellent work and have great customer service. I can honestly say, they are the BEST in the Bay!
Reliable Auto Repair does dependable, quality work. I’ve been using them to maintain my 2004 diesel truck and because of their great service i have over 200,000 miles on it and going strong.
We brought in our car for a diagnostic and brake check in preparation for our son's visit. Then we planned to sell it and buy a new car. The car turned out to be in worse shape than we thought. We declined all of the repairs and decided to sell the car earlier. So with Michael's help and patience, we were able to…
Went to have a small repair done. I had done some review searches and was impressed with their ratings. They were as good as advertised. They did the work quickly, for a reasonable price and even followed up to make sure everything was still working. Will definitely go back when I need to have my car serviced.
Reliable is where we go for out of warranty work. They do great work and are fast!
Reliable Auto Repair always does a great job on my vehicles.

Very courteous! Responsible I highly recommend😊
Reliable Auto has consistently provided great service at a reasonable price. I have had them service my diesel truck for about 10 years and have never been disappointed. They are honest, thorough, and conscientious. I highly recommend them for any auto or diesel service.
Everyone was friendly, professional, and explained what needed to be done clearly and upfront pricing. Very happy with the service and will be using them again.
Satisfied might be an understatement! Grateful for Eric and Michael, who once again guided me through recent car troubles with patience, honesty, and top-notch service. Their knowledge and dedication always leave me feeling confident and cared for. It’s hard to find a team you can truly trust, but they’ve consistently gone above and beyond.
Michael at RAR is simply the best. There’s no other auto shop that can compare with their honesty, communication, and knowledge!!!
