I met Michael this morning a few minutes after 8am, because I was in need of a smog test for my 8 yr old Honda CRV...I was impressed with his organizational skills, the way he spoke to customers on the phone and those of us waiting for service. He spoke with everyone in the order in which we sat in the waiting room chairs. He knew when someone new had added to the group, honoring those that held their places in the chairs first. Michael knew many of the 5 or 6 customers that preceded me, speaking with them about their interests over and above their appointment. When it was my turn, and I spoke to my need, and even without an appointment, he assured me l'd be out within 25 minutes. He was not only organized, polite and knowledgeable, he was honest. I can highly recommend Reliable Auto Repair. The lady sitting in the first to arrive chair next to me, told me she has been having her car serviced at Reliable Auto for as long as she can remember...she even knew other family members of Michael as a result of being a patron of the business. What an amazing experience! I will definitely consider Reliable Auto for the next time I’m in need of automobile repairs, and or maintenance. Thank you Michael.
Same day service! I called around 11am to get a quote for my brakes! Spoke with Michael (who was very helpful), took my car in around 11:30am & the work was completed by 2:30pm! Michael & I believe the front desk guy was Raul were both great with communicating & keeping me updated on the work that was being done on my car! My car runs good & sounds normal again! The price was great as well, considering another auto repair place quoted me a way higher price than Michael & couldn't have my car done with same day service. This was my 1st time here & it definitely won't be my last!
I had an e excellent experience with Reliable Auto Repair from the moment I arrived. The customer service was friendly, professional and honest they took the time to explain what was going on with my vehicle. Answered all my questions and never tried to upsell any unnecessary repairs. The work was completed on time, the pricing was fair, and my car has been running perfectly since. It's hard to find a mechanic you can truly trust, but the shop has earned my confidence and I've been coming here for many years. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and respectful service.
Just got my Audi Q5 80k service done and it was a genuinely great experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were professional, courteous, and super organized. The check-in was quick, they explained the service items clearly, and I never felt like I was being pushed into unnecessary add-ons. They kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated — no guessing games, no surprise calls. The vehicle was ready on time, and they walked me through everything they completed, including what to watch for over the next few thousand miles. The whole process felt transparent and well managed. After the service, the Q5 feels noticeably smoother — the ride is tighter, acceleration feels more responsive, and everything just feels “fresh” again. They also returned the car spotless, which is a small thing but always a nice touch. Overall, this 80k service was smooth, thorough, and totally hassle-free. If you’re due for a major service on your Audi, I’d definitely recommend this center — solid work, great communication, and a customer-first vibe start to finish.
Exceptional service from start to finish! I had to have my car towed off the freeway, and the tow truck driver himself recommended Reliable Auto – that’s when I knew I was in good hands. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly professional and genuinely caring. They made sure I was okay after my stressful breakdown on the freeway. Michael, the owner, went above and beyond by arranging an Uber to get me home safely. The team completed a full diagnostic, identified the problem, and had my car repaired and ready to go in less than 24 hours. The speed and quality of their work was impressive. If you’re looking for honest, reliable service with people who truly care about their customers, Reliable Auto is the place. Highly recommend!
