- They do great work and their name is exactly what they are: RELIABLE! Always great vehicle service as well as customer service. Friendly, helpful, and honest. They don't try to sell you on fixes you don't need. They will problem-solve with you and give you options. Their prices are competitive and quite reasonable, cheap even for the level of service and peace of mind they provide. I drive 40 minutes out of my way just to come to their shop, because they are the first mechanic shop I have trusted in years! My father is an auto mechanic so that should say a lot. As a side note, they also have the nicest waiting area of any shops I've ever been to.- Arrica Imm. 0/16/2020

- Had tires put on my car at the Maple Lake Reliable yesterday. They gave me a ride to work and picked me up when my car was finished. I was helped by Eric and Rich and Jeff at Buffalo. All were accommodating, trustworthy and professional! I highly recommend Reliable Auto Care!!- Marilyn Tosney. 11/11/2019
- I've trusted Reliable Auto with my vehicles for going on two decades! I wouldn't go anywhere else. They're honest mechanics that'll let you know if your problem isn't necessary to address quite yet, or in extreme cases, if they feel your vehicle isn't even worth fixing. They serviced one of my vehicles from 30,000 miles, to 220,000+ miles! I highly recommend Jeff, Kris, and team!!- Amy Popelka. 9/2/2019

- New in town, was looking for a local repair shop I could have confidence in. I looked into several places, but decided to try Reliable. So glad I did. Needed a rear brake job, Jeff was very easy to work with, he treated my questions and concerns with respect. The price was reasonable and the job was completed quickly. I will definitely be returning the next time I need a repair.- JCarr . 5/28/2018

- Always have liked there service. Very honest and reliable. Also fair price on self projects you might do but don't have the right equipment to press out bushing or bearings.- Christopher Barnes. 11/22/2016
- Jeff at Reliable does a great job. He explains what needs to be fixed, what could be fixed, and what might be coming up and let's you make the decision without any hassle. Tried some other places, but I completely trust them and they are the only place that I go to now.- Ben Watkins. 6/22/2014
- I've gone to Reliable Auto Care a couple times in the past two years. First time was to get the 02 sensor replaced on my Honda. I was totally satisfied with the service and price. The owner, his name was Jeff, diagnosed the problem and fixed it the same day. Price was reasonable, from what I've read on some auto forums. Second time I went, I suspected that one of the bearings went out in my alternator, and told them to check it out. Now on this occasion, I do not think Jeff was the one checking it out, but instead it was a younger guy. He called and told me that the alternator needed to be replaced. I didn't think that was necessary, so I took it to another mechanic in town and they confirmed that a bearing had gone bad. So overall, this place can be 'reliable' as the name claims, but make it depends on who's working on your car. I've had nothing but reliability from Jeff, though I can't speak for anyone else who works in that shop.- Nathan Foss. 1/24/2014
- Love Reliable Auto Care! Great Prices, and VERY honest people!!- Katie Adler. 10/7/2013
