We were traveling out of state and needed our windshield wipers fixed ASAP so we could keep traveling. Reliable Auto was amazing and the 6th place we called asking for emergency help and they did just that. They called to get our parts delivered and we were back on the road within 2 1/2 hrs.

Great service, good people, beautiful facility, loved the “my shop” technology they use for diagnostics. My only hesitation was the pricing, but it is Franklin!

Got tired of paying dealer prices to keep our 2013 Honda Odyssey on the road and picked Reliable Automotive based on the strength of their reviews. They are professional, friendly, and transparent and although not cheep, definitely more affordable than the dealer. Highly recommend!

John and the crew at Reliable went above and beyond to get my FJ’s clutch and flywheel back in action. Good guys and excellent work!

Did a ton of work with these guys. They did great work, walked me through the whole process and appreciated their communication, and my car drives like new. Love that they got finished a day early. Spent a ton of money on new clutch and brake pads, but glad I worked with them, and glad I spent the extra $$ to get the car towed there.

Mike and John are some of the best out there. A+ team with top-notch techs doing fantastic work. I’m a lifelong gearhead myself and trust the team at Reliable wholeheartedly to service my daily driver and our family expedition vehicle before 5,000+ mile trips. From routine maintenance to special requests for our fully kitted out overland vehicle, the crew is committed to being parters to our family and taking care of things the right way. Quite simply, I can’t say enough good things and drive an hour each way to place my vehicles in their capable hands.

Road trips can be a ton of fun, but given the failure of even the best of vehicles, having amazing mechanics to work with your car that you can trust is a must. When issues arise outside of your normal circle of trusted professionals, it can be a nightmare in the making!My friends and I made a trip from Florida up to Nashville. After one to many energy drinks, more gas station snacks than I care to count and not checking the cars fluids regularly, we found ourselves in a dilemma far from home. Being a bunch of girls, we didnt need a bunch of male mechanics to try to man-splane us the problem and sell us turn signal fluid. Enter the amazing staff at Reliable Automotive.The owner Mike answered our call and had us in the shop in no time. He personally checked over the car and had his mechanics fix our issues in no time! The office where we waited had a comfy couch, a place to charge our phones, water and a clean bathroom.If youre in the Franklin/Nashville area, definitely give these guys a try. A friendly and fun crew that had these Florida girls on their way back to girls vacay in no time.

Mike and John are truly customer-friendly. Not only do they give professional and efficient service, they provide a great warranty and use original parts.It was important for me to have my repair done quickly so I could make an emergency 1,200 mile trip. These folks not only made it happen, they made it easy. You cant find a better place for repairs!

Review №15

We were faced with a potentially VERY expensive fix to our daughters 2019 car. After speaking with a dealers service department and another repair shop we were thinking about having to sell the car instead of fixing it. I then called Reliable and spoke with John. He was able to provide a reasonable and credible approach to diagnosing the problem based on his own knowledge of cars. Turned out that they solved the problem for a very reasonable cost and we couldnt be happier with our experience with Reliable Automotive and with John.

Review №16

This was probably one of the best experiences I’ve had when taking my Jeep in to get fixed. They tried to save me money, and when they did the complementary inspection, there were a few things that needed to get done sooner rather than later, and when I asked if they could do that while it was there, they had no problem getting it done! Overall, I’m super impressed with their service and will be taking my Jeep there anytime it needs work or a tune up!

Review №21

Everything about my experience with Reliable was positive. Making the appointment was easy, the initial inspection was done right away and there was good communication on what was fine and what needed attention. The required work was completed promptly and at a price that seemed reasonable. Would not hesitate to use again or to recommend to a friend.

Great repair experiences from Mike and the team at Reliable. They were friendly and explained what they planned to do in advance and then explained what they found and corrected when I picked up the car. They did such a great job, I left my truck to have them repair the brakes (which had been in another shop and was not fixed). They charged less then the other shop and the brakes are perfect now. I plan to use Reliable exclusively for all future repairs. Highly recommend this shop.

Mike is very professional, approachable and great to work with, he makes the effort to make sure his customers understand the repair. I felt very confident and trusted that his technicians would do the job correctly and honestly. His shop is very clean and the waiting room is very nice and comfortable. I will strongly recommend Reliable Automotive to anyone.

Review №29

Being new to the area I found Reliable through RepairPal . I made an appointment online through RepairPal . When I arrived, I was greeted nicely and sat down to discuss the problems with my truck. After being informed of the necessary review of the truck, I mentioned that I thought I could wait for that. Instead of saying they were too busy, they took the truck immediately. About 15 minutes later we sat down again and reviewed the potential repairs and prices. I signed off on the quote and left with information on how to drop off the vehicle that evening. The following day I was contacted to approve one small addition. The truck was ready when expected, later that afternoon. All repairs seem to be fine, no issues. Mike (one of the owners) also discussed another repair that could be done but was not really necessary on a 17 year old truck. One of those just live with it issues that doesnt pay to fix. He didnt just try to get that extra job knowing it was not worth it to me. I will bring my vehicles back to Reliable as needed. Nice to find what I believe to be an honest auto repair shop!

I have taken my car to Reliable Automotive several times, and I am always Happy with the work, price and time frame. I had an issue with my most recent repair, but Mike went out of his way to get it fixed same day and covered it under warranty, no problem! Mike and co. are a great team, and they do top quality work. I highly recommend!

The only place I trust. My teenage daughter is about to turn 16. Brought her car in so Mike could give me piece of mind before we hand over the keys. He has earned that level of trust with consistent and reliable service every time.

Review №33

I have had cars, truck, and vans that Mike and the crew at Reliable have worked on for me over the past several years. I felt it was time to write a review. They are always easily available to discuss my car issues with. They make sure I understand everything in full detail and even take me in garage if I request to see the actual parts and problems. They respond quickly and work quickly. Their work is top notch and I never hesitate to refer them. Anyone I refer to them is always pleased with the work and the price. You cannot go wrong with working with Reliable Automotive in Franklin, TN

Review №34

I have been going to Mike at Reliable Automotive since we moved to Nashville in 2011. I was in a bad position with an even worse car and when I could have very easily been taken advantage of, mike helped me out when he didn’t have to at all. Since then he has worked on 5 different cars for me and even though I know what type of service to expect, each time I am still so happy when I leave because I know he’s done a good, fair job. I would recommend Reliable Automotive to anyone and put my own name behind it.

Review №35

Mike at Reliable Automotive replaced the engine on my 2007 Toyota Rav-4 around 2 years ago. He did and excellent job at a reasonable price. I just took my 2007 Toyota Corolla to his shop with a list of things that needed to be replaced or worked on according to the dealership. To my surprise I only needed an oil change. He checked all the things I was told needed to be fixed. I didnt need anything else done. I am so disappointed with the dealership. I appreciate Mikes honesty. I highly recommend this shop. Do not hesitate to contact Reliable Automotive if you are looking for honesty, great work and reasonable prices.

Review №36

We made an appointment to have our vehicle check engine light serviced. We dropped the car off on Friday around 9am. Reliable Automotive had the car for 7 days and accomplished nothing. When I picked up the car Mike (owner) informed me that he only needed two more days to find the problem (he couldnt find it in 7 days). He charged me $200; I didnt have the car for 7 days and left there with the check engine light still on, no repairs performed. Would not recommend bringing your vehicle to this garage if you have any serious issues.

My son lost his wallet in a Target parking lot. Unknown to us, one of the owners of Reliable Auto found the wallet and paid to have it overnighted to us via fed ex. All the cash and cards were still inside it.Very thankful to these guys for being honest and taking the time and resources to get it back to us.

Ive had my car worked on in many states & many places. Reliable Automotive is by far the best place Ive ever had my vehicle worked on. Mike treats his customers with outstanding customer service & really goes out of his way for people. When it comes to my car repairs in Franklin, TN.. This is the only place I will go. Hands down. Thanks for the great work guys!

My few experiences with Reliable Automotive have been great! The best part about Reliable is that hes honest and only makes recommendations that align with the manufactures recommendations. I always feel taken advantage of when I try a new mechanic or use a convienent service. Mike at Reliable has never made me feel that way, he has always been honest and up front. I really appreciate their in-town pick-up as well. I would recommend them to anyone, and actually already have! Thanks for your great service.

Best auto shop Ive ever been to. Went to two different places before Reliable Automotive and was told I needed both my front and rear brakes replaced. Ended up bringing my car here on a friends recommendation. Mike took the time to physically show me and help me understand what was going on, and it turns out I only needed the front brakes replaced. Totally worth the drive from Nashville.

Weve been going to Reliable Automotive for several years now. The owner, Mike, is great! Hes honest, incredibly helpful, and reasonably priced. I found out about him from a friend who recommended him highly, too! Mikes staff is knowledgeable and they do great work. Weve taken him 4 different cars (all different makes and models) and hes done an excellent job taking care of them all. I trust Reliable Automotive and recommend them personally to friends. A+++

I cannot say enough good things about Reliable Automotive. I have used them 3 times in the past year and every experience was great. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and is able to pinpoint the problem without guessing or experimenting. He only repairs what is necessary to resolve the issue and the pricing is very reasonable. Mike has saved me a lot of money by his diligence and work ethic. Mike also makes every effort to expedite the repairs if I do not have another vehicle to drive. I would highly recommend Reliable Automotive to ANYONE and would not consider taking my vehicle elsewhere. Thank you Mike!

Their company is aptly named. I had to put in a completely different engine in my Toyota Sienna which was done at a great and reliable manner. I ended up purchasing the motor myself which ended up not working out since when it arrived it was locked up and unusable but Mike and Bradley worked with me to find a replacement at a better price and with a parts and labor warranty.I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone that is looking for a Owner Operated shop to get their automotive repaired.

Painfully searching for an answer to what in the world was causing the worst noise EVER over only certain bumps, first I went to Gateway, then I went to Nissan, and then came to Reliable Auto after reading Google reviews. They found the issue in LESS THAN ONE HOUR and had my 17 Maxima ready the same day. Very nice guy named John took care of me on the front end and I just had the pleasure of meeting Mike when I came to pick it up just now. Definitely stop by and see them!

There is a reason Mike named his business Reliable Automotive......he and his team are reliable along with knowledgable and professional.

Such a great experience at Reliable Automotive. Went in this afternoon for an oil change. Didnt wait at all when I arrived, took my car right back and was in and out in less than 20 minutes. Best oil change experience I have ever had. Will be using them for all of my auto needs in the future!

Happy to find a place I trust for my Acura. I have gotten quotes and a diagnosis done prior to going here and the owner Mike offered competitive prices and honest answers, not recommending all of the extra stuff the dealers try to sell you unless it really needs to be done. He gives straight answers. I was recommended to Reliable Auto by a friend and I am happy to find a locally owned place I can trust. Definitely recommend to my friends.

We had some major problems with our Honda Odyssey (and the cost of the much needed repair was likely to be worth more than the car itself). Mike and the guys at Reliable Automotive solved the problem in a most professional manner and got us back on the road again…and all within our budget constraints too. The name says it all, R E L I A B L E! Take it from this satisfied customer…you can trust these guys!

Review №72

I worked with Mike (I believe he is the owner) and what I liked most about him is that he really seemed to care about his customers and never did I once feel like he was just trying to sell me random services. Mike went above and beyond to explain what was going on with my car. And even after I went and got a second opinion, Mike still took the time to help me weigh my options. Because of Mike, I saved hundreds of dollars by not going with my dealers suggested fixes. Annnnnnd Mike even called back several weeks later to check in and see how my car was doing. Thumbs up for sure!!

Ive been checking out different mechanics all over town, and Reliable Automotive was hands down my favorite. They have great prices and use original equipment parts! Its always so hard to speak with the same person at most shops, but I always get to talk to Mike at Reliable Automotive and he actually remembers what we have talked about and everything going on with my car. Not only that, but if they ever need to give you a call back, they contact you fast with any information they have and they are always delightful on the phone, as well as in person. When I went to drop my car off, the guys greeted me with smiles and amazing customer service! Whenever I leave my car with mechanics, Im always super nervous, but I can honestly say I have no worries dropping it off at Reliable Automotive because I know its in good hand that know exactly what they are doing! Reliable Automitive will be my cars doctor as long as Im living in middle TN!!

Michael Obrien has been maintaining and repairing my vehicles for going on 10 years. At one point my family of five had a combination of five cars/trucks/SUVs. My 2005 Acura TL has over 250,000 miles on it and is still running strong, I believe, in large part because of the fine work they do at Reliable Automotive. I can always trust Michaels assessments and recommendations for maintenance and repair and his billing practices.
