Excellent prices, expert friendly service. I will definitely go back. They were able to complete the job in a few hours.

Dee and his team were extremely helpful. They were priced well and charged us half of what a place down the road was trying to charge us. They knew exactly what tests to run to make sure the problem was being solved. Their team was also very friendly and accommodating. So glad we found our go to auto place now! read more

Didn't have my appointment listed and it was going to be over 2 hours to get to my car, so I left.

I own a mechanic shop is south Florida. I took my sisters Hummer H3 with 230k miles on it there for a misfire. I expected to get hit with a high bill or some nonsense about needing a motor or $1000 in repairs since these hummers were notorious for being junk. Dee himself called me and quoted me $230 for parts and labor to replace one coil. He didn't try to upsell me a full set or upsell me on replacing spark plugs he charged me roughly the cost of parts. His customer service and honesty tells me he deserves to be in business forever. His low prices tell me he must be an undercover millionaire who just this just to help others and do good in the world. 10/10 his reviews say it all. read more

A few months ago, I had to get my AC fixed. Turned into a $1300 bill, which I felt was steep, but Dee himself spoke to me when it was done, told me what had been fixed, and what still needed work. I had some issues because the person helping me was trying to pay over the phone - which they don't do, as a heads up - but got it sorted and went on my way. I finally made it back last week to get the second issue (still pertaining to the AC) fixed, and the service couldn't have been worse. I initially mentioned getting both that as well as an oil change done, set up the appointment, and took my car to the shop on a Friday. Guy at the desk told me it would take a few hours and should be done end of day. I call about two hours into it being there for a quote, $700; okay, fine, it's gone up a little from the initial appointment. I tell them I still want to go through with it. Day end, and I still have yet to hear back, but I'm off on Saturday and figured I could walk to the shop - it's only about a mile away - and pick up my car. When I get there, a different guy is at the desk, I tell him I'm here to pick up my car and he says "they didn't call you? We have to replace the parts installed last time, but they're on warranty so we'll cover it." I was annoyed about the call, but chocked it up to the shop being busy. It usually is. No biggie. I asked if I could take my car, he suggested that it would make it worse. Asked if I could pay, he said not until I pick up the car. I call back to the shop Monday and a woman picks up the phone, says she'll call me back with the information. Hours go by, so I call back. At this point I've missed one day of work because they're closed Sundays and I have no transportation nor the funds (outside of those saved for the car repair). I'm a little annoyed. Call back again, they're busy. Call back a third time and she says "oh for the escape? Let me check right now". After waiting on hold for a bit, she tells me the car will be ready tomorrow (Tuesday). Okay, two days of work missed. Oof. So I go in to pick up my car and they say "oh there's an issue with a condenser(?); it'll be $400. Should we fix it?" At that point I said no, and the office is quiet. I pay, get my paper and go. Dee doesn't come out to speak to me about my car, and the paper doesn't mention anything about an oil change or what still needed to be done. I'm annoyed so I just leave. My car has issues turning over; this wasn't an issue when I dropped the car off Friday, but with the new installation and the heat, I thought maybe it was just a one-off. Here I am almost a week later now, having to replace a battery which had no issues prior to the installation, so I've now sunk more than the car is worth into it just at this shop alone, and have yet to find out what else outside of the battery is wrong with it now. I wouldn't recommend this place based on the poor communication and the questionable quality as to the value of the work and the fact that I was left in the dark as to the condition of my car. read more

Had a problem with my daughter's Honda Civic Hybrid. Apparently, when you disconnect a Honda battery, it can lose sensor data that operate the front crash detection, lane departure warning, and other systems, causing the warning lights to stay on. Sometimes it will recalibrate itself, other times it has to be done by a specific scanner. Dee looked at it and determined it has to be done with Honda-specific scan tools. He didn't charge me for the time. Thanks, Dee. read more

This will definitely be my new go-to mechanic! I was looking for a new mechanic because the last shop I went to tried to sell me something I knew for a fact I didn't need and honesty and integrity is very important to me when doing business with people. I found this shop just down the road from me and scheduled an oil change and check-up since my car hit 120k miles. I ended up having to get my serpentine belt replaced and my front brake pads and rotors replaced (which was expected based on the lovely array of noises my car was making). They had a few other replacement suggestions but made me aware which things were more urgent for safety. The best part is he took me out to my car and showed me exactly where the wear and tear was and explained every aspect. They were super accommodating and able to do my oil change, flush and replace my brake fluid, replace my serpentine belt, and replace my front end brake pads and rotors in about 2.5 hours same day which was amazing because I expected to have to leave my car or come back a different day and the pricing was very fair. Everyone at the shop is also friendly and hospitable which can be hard to come by in the industry so that was very refreshing. I'll also note that they truly showed their trustworthiness as there was a guy that was there before me getting his car checked out and they advised his car was likely still under warranty - he checked and it was so they advised he go to the dealer to get the work done for free instead of having them do the work and spend unnecessary money. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a trustworthy shop with reasonable pricing! The shop dog is also a cutie and fun to hang out with while you wait for your car! read more

I have an Audi Q7 that died while I had parked it at the airport over a weekend. I had it towed to Audi, they quoted me $2200 because the battery needed to be replaced and according to their testing, so did the alternator (that would be $1600). Moreover, the part would need to be ordered from Germany so would take 10-14 days. I called Dee - he said, that it was strange that they said the alternator would need to be changed because its rare. He sounded like he knew what he was talking about and I went with my gut and towed my q7 from Audi to Dee's Reliable Auto. He fixed the car for $500, the alternator was working beautifully without needed to be replaced. Bottom line - Dee is trustworthy, will get the job done, and wont try to rip you off! read more

They're the only honest repair shop I know of in the area. Kind and understanding employees and owner. Very helpful and do not cost an arm and a leg for repairs. We've repaired multiple tires and replaced a few with them. read more

Who doesn't love Florida Vacations!! Well at day one of being in the Orlando area I felt grinding while breaking! Crap what do you do, how do manage and trust a repair shop while on vacation! Well you rely on Yelp and other reviews and then ask some locals, and that's exactly what led me to Dee Reliable. After calling and explaining I was on vacation I was assured it would be completed the same day. Having a good idea what was wrong after looking at the vehicle myself. I was happily reassured by the technician and then was even showed what I missed. Thank you for the excellent job done in an extremely timely manner and even more reasonable price than at home. I now have a trusted mechanic here in the Orlando area. I know that I'll now have a worry free trip home back to Michigan. Thank you Dee Reliable Auto Service read more

Gave me great advice on my car. Saved me from being overcharged by another mechanic. I appreciate the help.

Great shop. They're friendly, reasonably priced, and fast. I was very pleased to find out that we had a newly opened independent mechanic in the area, as I always prefer to shop local, and have had some bad experiences with nearby auto mechanic chains. I've had belt/pulley noise in my truck for a couple years now, and no mechanic has ever gotten it to go away/stay away, but Dee managed to fix things that other mechanics had failed to permanently cure. This is the part of the review where I would mention some drawbacks/issues, I honestly don't have a negative thing to say about them. Give them a shot. read more

I had my truck towed in to Dee Reliable Auto Repair on a Sunday because it overheated. Dee gave me the tow company's phone number. The tow company did his job, got my truck into Dee Reliable Auto Repair. Dee looked at my truck on Monday, figured out what was wrong with it & gave me a price to fix it & told me he when he would have it completed. I went when he said it would be ready & sure enough it was ready at that time and I paid the price he quoted. It works, does not overheat anymore. Dee's price was really reasonable. I would use his services again. read more

Dee was absolutely wonderful handing our car issues! Speedy service at great rates. He called us several times to update us on the repairs and was transparent the whole time. Will definitely return! read more

Had an A/C that wasn't blowing cold air in my Mazda CX-9. Brought it in first thing in the morning and Dee had it fixed and ready to go quickly. I was impressed with the turnaround time and his rates are super reasonable. Didn't feel like I got ripped off by yet another shady mechanic, which is often how I feel when getting my car fixed. Totally recommend Dee for all your vehicle needs if you're in the area! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. Honest, friendly, reliable (they really are aptly named) service. We are in Florida on vacation and, as luck would have it, our car completely overheats....at 7PM....2 days before we leave. We got the number for this place from our insurance company. The following morning, my husband called and spoke with someone about looking at the car and the staff was super friendly and understanding about our situation and told us they would call back. When they called back (As soon as the car got there) explained exactly what they thought the issue might be and the cost for looking at it. We told him how much we were willing to spend and he said he would call us back with an idea and an estimate. Less than 2 hours later, he called back and told us what the issue was and how much it would cost...this was at 4P. We were able to pick the car up at 10:20AM the following day completely fixed for an exceptional price. read more

I'm a local resident and stumbled upon Dee Reliable Auto Repair by chance when my car's AC stopped working and I have to say my experience was absolutely top notch! First of all the shop looks great and is super clean and modern. I had no idea the shop was even there but happened to pass by while I was exiting the parking lot of Advance Auto Parts next door. Even though I pulled up unscheduled after 5pm, Dee spent over an hour doing a thorough AC diagnostic on my car for FREE ($50 to $150 anywhere else). Once my issue was confirmed he explained the issue he found and offered me several options for repair including a great price on the OEM part for which he also included a 2-year warranty. I called the next day to confirm I wanted to schedule the repair and he had the part within a day and actually reduced my original estimate because he got the part cheaper than expected. Central Florida has always been a tough market to find an honest and reliable mechanic so I can't say enough about how impressed I am with Dee and his shop. It will be the first place I go to from here on out. read more

Moved to the area recently and needed an auto repair business for both of our vehicles. Dee Reliable is awesome. Very honest and trustworthy!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Owners and employees are top notch. We'll definitely be back, thanks a million for the help with our F150 and Mazda!! read more

Got my car towed here when I was out of town because of the reviews online - GREAT PLACE. Exceptional customer service, incredibly quick (they put in a starter same day), and great pricing WOMEN - you can come here by yourself and not fear being taken advantage of. A woman runs the front and she made me feel so comfortable (and empowered as a fellow woman for the next few days ) read more

My Kia Soul was in need of some suspension work. My dealer wanted to charge me over two thousand dollars. I brought my car to Dee's after reading the reviews online and I'm glad I did. Dee got my car right in and diagnosed the problem, and the price wasn't anything close to what my dealer was charging. Dee and his wife are hardworking honest people. I highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of car repairs. read more

Dee and Felicia are so responsive to their customers The mechanics are knowledgeable and thorough, letting you know exactly the condition of your car, what needs to be done now and what to look out for in the future. Dee brought me right into the shop (off limits in most places) and showed me the issue and explained everything thoroughly and offered up options. A true pleasure to work with and having a mechanic I wholeheartedly trust is huge! read more

Visiting Florida from Maryland and check engine light came on and odor of oil inside the car. Called and spoke to the owner, Dee. Very kind and understanding. Took the car in next day at noon. Ran a diagnostic test and found a bad solenoid with a broken ring, causing oil to spew around the engine. He not only explained the issue, but also showed me exactly what had happened. He had to have the part brought in, repaired and out the door in just a little over an hour. Reasonable cost. The shop was very clean and the staff professional and friendly. Dee's wife works the front desk...so friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!! read more

Very accommodating. As a courtesy they drive us to and from home. They diagnosed our issue and gave us an estimate that proved to be a good value. read more

We are in Florida for two months my truck went into limp mode twice in two weeks. The food dealer couldn't look at it for 5 weeks. Dee and his mechanics got me in the next day. Worked hard trying to find a transmission part that is in high demand. The whole time he communicated with us on the progress. Did the repair in less than a day. They saved our vacation. read more

We've been taking our vehicles to Dee for more than a year now and are always very happy with Dee's communication - he takes the time to call and explain everything including the cost - and his excellent work to repair our cars. Recently the computer on our Jeep fritzed out and instead of just buying a new (expensive) one from the dealer he located someone to rebuild one for us, saving hundreds of dollars. He kept us informed on the progress and when the computer came in he did the repairs in one day. We highly recommend Dee's Auto Repair for your regular maintenance as well as those tricky repairs. read more

Went to pep boys and they quoted me an outrageous amount to change my brakes and told me i needed new sensors. Went here and they did it for basically 1/4 the cost and no sensors needed fixing. Highly recommend this place for probably any work you need done! read more
