I had to get my rear brake pads and rotors and tires replaced. I also needed to get my catalytic converter replaced. They were fast and very professional.

Michael and his team are amazing! I went to toyota dealership at capitol expway over the weekend and was told that I need to replace the water pump on my 2018 Toyota Rav4 because of a leak. I found Reliable Auto Repair through chatgpt. Thank God for technology! Turns out my car didn't need water pump replacement.…
I needed a camera installed in my new car and a tail light replaced. The camera was installed expertly with no wires showing and works perfectly. Unfortunately I had to get the new car because someone ran a red light and totaled my old one. My son sent the camera so I would have video of any incidents in the future.…
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.
I have been a customer for many years. Always check before performing any repairs. Details of what is needed and when. Fair prices. Never add on without prior confirmation. Trusted auto vendor, which is difficult to find.
We have been using Reliable since 2016, the most recent time just being last week. I have 100% trust in them and their work. If anyone ever asks where to bring their vehicles for work I always suggest Reliable. I just cant say enough good things about Michael and the quality of work, and customer service. I wish…

I had a great experience here! I brought in my car to diagnose a noise, and they were very clear and communicative throughout the whole process.

The experience is already in the name, Reliable! Michael from Reliable Auto Repair has been extremely helpful with our journey with deciding whether to keep a car or return to the seller.

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’ve been going to Reliable Auto for years and recommend them to anyone in the area looking for an honest mechanic shop that does good work. The cost has always seemed reasonable and I’ve never felt pressured to do unnecessary work.
