I have been taking my vehicle to Reliable Auto Repair for several years now. They are professional, trustworthy and affordable. I would highly recommend Reliable to anyone looking for an excellent auto repair shop.
If you are ever in a bind, check engine light on, need urgent repairs and quality work please go here first. They are better than dealerships and may not be the cheapest but the quality of work they do shows. My warranty failed to help get a critical part and Michael worked his magic, part arrived with some heavy…
I’ve been taking my vehicles to Reliable Auto Repair for several years. I originally found them through searching Yelp & Google, looking at their highest ratings, and I am so glad I did. In an industry where it’s hard to know who to trust, this team stands out. They are fair, honest, and hardworking. Whenever I…
Very helpful and best prices. Happy with the work I had done on my car.
Great experience 👍 customer service was great they took care of my vehicle,
Michael and his team are very knowledgeable, skilled, honest and friendly. There is no pressure when taking your vehicle there. They will diagnose your vehicle, possibly make recommendation, and you make the choice of whether or not to do the job. It can be difficult to find a truly honest repair shop that is…
Whenever I need maintenance or repair I know to schedule an appointment at Reliable. The entire process is so easy - they have it down! I was able to book an appointment online in minutes. I was given a clear and thorough Inspection report in a reasonable amount of time. I was able to approve and decline the…
If you’re looking for an honest and fair, extremely knowledgeable auto repair, then you need to come see Michael at Reliable auto. We’ve been going to him for 10 years, and he always gives the best advice and does amazing work.
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!
Found Reliable Auto Care because they offer 15% discount through Costco. Glad we did. Their price even without the discount was already less than a few other quotes. Scheduling was easy - within a week. Michael explained the work and he texted a couple days after the work to check if any issues. Will most likely use this business again in the future.
Great experience,would definitely recommend them if you want quick and reliable work done. I felt safe that I wasn't being taken for a ride because I don't knkw anything about cars which is so reassuring for me. They will be my go to auto shop from now on.
If you want a good mechanic and honest mechanic and great customer service, Reliable Auto is your place to go to.. I was turned onto Michael and his shop several years ago by a coworker of mine who has been going to him for numerous of years with numerous vehicles, and they have always been very well taken care of…
Brought car in first thing in the morning. Took the keys out of my hand in the parking lot. Started smog immediately. In and out in a hour. Great job.
Michael accommodated us on a weekend! We had our vehicle towed from over 80 miles away with engine trouble. Our truck repair was completed quickly! Highly recommend!
Great Service & Friendly Crew 👍🏼
Absolute awesome experience here. Michael is the absolute best! He's honest and thorough. He had my 15 year old 290,000 mile truck in tip top shape and safe for a 1000 mile road trip. Their prices are beyond reasonable and their work is top notch. I've already recommended this place to several friends.
I thought I had a leaking head gasket because I was loosing coolant slowly. After checking my truck out I got the call I was dreading but it was the water pump not a head gasket. Much cheaper! They did a great job replacing the pump. Very refreshing to find honest reliable auto repair! I will definitely use Reliable…
