I can never seem to find a good honest mechanic, it feels like they always see a woman and see dollar signs. But I am so happy with the service I received. The owner was very knowledgeable and honest, I even thought I needed new brakes but he confirmed I still had a few hundred more miles, but he could have easily just sold me the new brakes but he didn't. He was very transparent about the work and I felt his pricing was very reasonable. I will be taking my husbands car back next month. For reference I have 2015 Rav4 with 112k miles. read more

Reliable Auto Service - Wagih was great and was quick. Also very sociable. I would come here again. He is very busy so you do have. - Auto Repair Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Shitty awful service. You need to schedule over a week ahead because they are scamming. paid for an oil change.. I was told I cannot come in until over a week later.... So they are saying to not use my car for a week. I should have use any other company. If you want your money back it will make a week. A shop that offers oil changes but cannot provide them. Pathetic read more

Best, honest, reliable mechanic around. Shows you all parts he pulled off your vehicle and his prices are always competitive with factory parts. He is the real deal! We love it here and I recommend anyone I know always. read more

Great prices, better service. Honest man who is good at what he does. Send everyone you know to reliable auto service.

Great service every time I go! If you need new parts for your car, he will do his best to find you the best price and call around to find them. I've come to him for oil changes, tire rotors,tire rods replacements ,etc etc and have only had great results time and time again. He shows you what's wrong with your car and lets you know how urgent or not it is to get the issue fixed which I appreciate. And after getting overcharged, no appointment availability, or just faulty work at other shops - I drive over from Irvine to HB to get reliable (in the name of) auto work. read more

I have trouble using car dealer service departments. Long waits. High prices. And usually an expensive surpriseb is found. I wonder.... This little shop is refreshing. Took my car in, and he started exactly on time. Performed the work in a very reasonable and thorough manner. The owner is a gentleman. Pays attention to your requests and is respectful. Nice guy. This is a small shop without a waiting room or coffee or TV. If you need those things, go pay twice the price at a car dealer. ;-) read more

What can I say about Wagieh? This man is honest, pleasant and reasonable. I've been taking mine and my sons cars to his shop since I moved to HB (14 years ago). Prices are fair, and you trust that your car is in good hands with him. I highly recommend Reliable. read more

He uses quality oil and products. He has taken care of my daughter's BMW for the last couple of years and he has always done a good job only recommending the service that we need. Old school but I would say he does a good job, you can trust what he says at a fair price. read more

We use Reliable specifically for all vehicle maintenance, repairs or troubleshooting. Wagih is a phenomenal mechanic. Very knowledgeable in such a wide range of vehicles. Most importantly, Wagih is honest. I have no doubt I am getting honest service, quality parts, and the best pricing. I would never use another mechanic. Our friends and family love Wagih and Reliable Auto Service! read more

BEST mechanic in Orange County. I bounced around to a few places and never found someone I trust until finding Reliable Auto. I've been coming to Wagigh (owner operator) for at least 3 years now and other ratings say it all... HONEST and best pricing by far. Wagigh doesn't sell on the riff raff you have to routinely say "no" to at other quick lube spots (wipers, filter, etc that are extremely overpriced). Instead he tells you the best place you can buy it for cheap or if he has it in stock sells it to you at that price. Same goes for recommendations on brakes tires fluids etc, best price by far and honest to say you can wait until next oil change to address it. I've price checked him not just on oil changes (cheaper than jiffy lube or Valvoline or anywhere even after factoring in coupons) but also on timing belts and brakes too. I truly appreciate him as a mechanic and person and wanted to share my experience. Bring your car here once for an oil change and you'll be a customer for life. read more

Reliable Auto Service - Business Card - Call him - Auto Repair Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I've been coming here for about 3-4 yrs.now and it's theory place I go for oil change. He's quick also checks fluids and air in tires. Very nice man who works hard. read more

An amazing man changed my oil, very meticulous in everything he did. After he was done changing my oil, he didn't have any oil on him lol. Every person that has ever changed My oil is covered in dirt and I fear for them getting into my car after being so soiled with oil. He was not. He keeps his shop neat and clean and that's gonna represent how he's gonna treat your car. Keeping it Neat and clean. He is very thorough. Oh yea..I asked for a tire rotation..he told me the price and I said OK. He then looked at my rear tires and said if I rotated my back tires to the front it would feel like my car was out of alinement because of one of the rear tires were new. Finding an honest mechanic is so AWESOME! read more

I called for an appointment... He was rude. I gave him a pass because maybe he was having a hard day.I showed up and he was rude.He did not like my form of Groupon. I was rushed out with him saying " You are wasting my time". Maybe if, I was a male and not white he would have been nicer. He needs to keep in the back of the business with a customer service professional in the front. It is not a female friendly business. If I could post a negative I would. read more

A truly exceptional service experience. He was honest and upfront regarding service and pricing. I highly recommend his automotive services. read more

He is very honest and shows you exactly what needs to be fixed. He also shows you the old parts.

Wagih is an amazing mechanic! I take my truck, my wife's Volvo and our kids Jett'a and Focus to Reliable. He is able to service them all and keep them road worthy at all times. Wagih is very honest and even tells me if something DOES NOT need to be addressed right now. He is more interested in keeping a customer for life than he is making a bundle once. He makes sure to get correct dealer factory parts and never uses cheap parts. Please go see Wagih, you will not be disappointed!!! -Dave S read more

Reliable Auto Service is not only RELIABLE... But VERY HONEST, GENUINE and TRUSTWORTHY... Not your normal service/repair shop! I found Wagih on Groupon last year and WOW- did I really find an honest mechanic?!?! Yes! He will tell you exactly what you need and if he can't do it at a reasonable price, he'll direct you right to someone who can. He won't tell you something needs to be done if it in fact doesn't. His prices are more than fair (so DO NOT haggle him to go any lower!). Last week I brought my daughter's car for an oil change and transmission flush but her car's transmission is in a place that takes much more time to get to- Wagih called around and found it would be cheaper for me to take to the dealer than the price he would need to charge for labor and parts. He did the oil change, rotated tires and referred us to make the appt with the dealer around the corner. I appreciated Wagih looking out for our dollar rather than just trying to make money. He could've easily done all work requested and charged us- we would've never known the dealer would be cheaper for that service. I will continue to come to Wagih and will refer everyone I know as well. Thank you Wagih!! read more

Wagih was amazing! Definitely responsive in returning calls, setting appts, even a detailed voicemail. I was in and out in 30 min. Great service, thanks again Wagih!! read more

Reliable Auto Service - RELIABLE AUTO SERVICE LOCATION IN HB! - Auto Repair Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I personally have a family mechanic but since he's always booked I went to my friends mechanic and I can say he's highly recommended. 5 stars on oil changes and breaks! I will definitely be coming back to him. He's a honest mechanic and I truly trust him. read more

For a couple years I've been getting my oil changed here. Every time I ask the owner to please look over my car and let me know if I need to fix or update anything. Every single time I was told no. I've always appreciated the honesty and integrity of the owner. He's so down to earth and nice. This time he mentioned I may want to change a certain fluid. Without hesitation I had him change it. Good thing I did because it was really old. Thank you for the five star experience every time Reliable Auto Service! read more

I called Reliable Auto for a quote on a motor mount and installation. The owner took all necessary information then told me he would call me back with a quote. I never heard back from the guy. The exact opposite of 'Reliable' read more

The owner was very nice and helpful! I am extremely pleased with him and the service he provided(oil change). I made an appointment and he assisted me right away. Quick and efficient service. He took extra time to show me different things about my car I was curious about and recommended possible things that needed to be fixed but was not pushy. Highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

I've been going to Reliable for over a year. Wagih is pleasure to work with. His prices are fair and he always looks over my vehicle to make sure it's safe. I send all my friends to Reliable! Thanks Wagih! read more

I'm a retired mechanic myself, so it's hard to find good mechanics that meet my standards. I've been going to this shop now for a few years and I'm so pleased with Wagih, he's the owner and professional mechanic who works on all types of automobiles. He's very honest and of course the best value in town and it's alway a pleasure to take my car to him knowing it will get the best care and he never up sales you. read more

Love this place! Have had my oil changed twice now with him, both spur of the moment, and he does a great job, very quickly, with no issues, and both times he gave me a big discount on a synthetic oil change, which is shocking to me how much they are now, but he gave it to me for $65, but he didn't have change so he let me pay him $60, which was VERY kind of him, and he refilled my fluids! He has a Groupon for a conventional oil change I think for $25, but my car takes synthetic, so it's a lot more. So if you need a regular oil change, ask if he'll give you the Groupon price, I'm sure he will, cuz you'll save a ton, which it's tough right now with everything being SO expensive, thanks to Massive Inflation, so he literally made my day, both times, as I was in a hurry and desperately needed an oil change! He said it had used ALL of the oil, so I'm SO glad I came in to do it TODAY, and I'm SO grateful he had the time to help me!! Since my car has had trouble starting lately he tested the battery for free and found me a great price on one, that other places said would be way more, and he is putting it in for me, again much cheaper than other places would've charged me so I'm very happy to have found a mechanic that is reasonably priced, and I feel confident I can trust him to do a good job. I am struggling financially and prayed to know where to go for my little Ecosport, because I'm SO afraid of Jiffy Lube, and those kind of places how they damage peoples cars, as I've heard horror stories, and after reading the reviews, they all were very scary. And of course the price is an issue as well. So after praying for the right place, I had a feeling to look on my dash and low and behold there was the sticker from my past oil change, here in HB, so I knew I could trust him, because GOD sent me TO him, and both times the experience left me with a great feeling, which is not always the case with car places! I LOVE that I can come here as a single woman with no guy around, and I can trust he won't take advantage of me. THIS is huge!! It's just him with his own little shop, so I love how you can make an appt and he is VERY quick, pretty available, as I came in the same day, and he is friendly to boot. Please give this guy your service, he seems to be very knowledgeable, and what we doesn't know he looks up and finds out for you. He said he's open on Saturdays for appts, so that's nice too, and he seems like he's willing to do whatever time you need, since it's his shop! Thanks Reliable Auto Service, I will be back!! You can make an appt with him at (714) 842-0087. read more

Great auto shop. Wagih (wah-gee) is helpful and honest. I've been looking for a mechanic since I moved here and finally I've found Wagih. He answers questions to the best of his knowledge and honestly. First I had him do a simple oil change on one car then I had him look at my other car the following week. That car had been "smoking" as it got warm (usually 2-10 min after starting) and I smelt burning oil. I noticed a cracked exhaust manifold under the hood and another mechanic said the smoking shouldn't be a big deal (at that time it wasn't a lot of smoke). Then it got worse. That's when I took it to Reliable and he knew what it was within seriously 10 seconds of looking at it (I was sure to heat it up well on the way over to make the smoke visible). Turns out it was an incorrect seal that an old mechanic put in and it was worn out & brittle. He fixed it and replaced the plugs and their wiring as well as an oil service for a pretty fair price and now it runs great with no smoking! It was a breeze working with wagih and I'll be coming back. Thanks Wagih! read more

My go-to mechanic in Southern California! I was recommended to Wagih by my boyfriend's family a few years ago and have been coming to him for oil changes and any other problems ever since! Highly recommend. Very honest, kind, and knowledgeable. read more

There are only so many people you meet who make a genuine impression. Not only did the oil change take 15 minutes, but the service was exceptional. Waghi is honest, knowledgeable, and just a good person. It's difficult to find good mechanics you can trust. Coming here for all my future car needs. read more

I went in for an oil change with a Groupon. Super nice owner, very flexible with scheduling, no wait time, and most importantly, did not try to upsell me. read more

great customer service and nice guy. just make sure you have a reservation!

I've been taking my car here for a year now. I've had both my vehicles serviced here and have recommended friends to come here also. He takes his time to do the right thing. Fully appreciate his honesty when our 2019 Equinox had a transmission problem and he was able to catch it on time. Saved us from a possible disaster. Will continue to come here read more

I found Wagih on Groupon about 3 years ago and continue to go to him for everything! Not only is he honest he is always willing to help in any way he can. If your car needs something he doesn't do he will give you name and phone number of people he recommends. I usually don't do groupons when it comes to my car, but it was the BEST thing I did when I found him! I will go no where else! Thank you Wagih you have a forever customer and I will always recommend you and your services!! read more

I will continue to take all of my family cars here for service or repair. Wagih is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, honest and very fair in his pricing. I also love the fact that he wants to display and educate us with what is going on with our cars so that we are knowledgable for the future or to understand preventative maintenance. I highly recommend going to this shop. Thank you for such exceptional service!! read more

Updating my review from last time: Wagih is great!! The name of the shop speaks for itself. Reliable, honest, and fair. Definitely going back to him and having him as my personal mechanic. Thank you Wagih. Updating that I have returned many times since, bring my personal vehicle and referring friends to him as well. His service is spot on and is a trustworthy guy, no hidden agendas and straight forward. He also shows you the parts he replaced and educates you how that damage has occurred in the vehicle. Smart and my go to guy!! read more

Super nice, personable owner. He told me exactly what was wrong with my car, which matched up to other opinions. His prices are very reasonable, so don't haggle. Great, quick service. Cool conversation. Thank you!! :) read more

My family and I have been coming here for years. He is an awesome mechanic. He is honest and tells you like it is and he's not going to try to sell you stuff you don't need. 10 out of 10! read more

HIGHLY recommend coming here!!! Amazingly fast service at a great price. To add to that he doesn't upcharge you on bs you don't need, my last oil change the shop suggested over $1,000 in "repairs" needed to my car. Come to find out they are completely unnecessary at the moment and quoted DOUBLE what he charges. So thankful I found an awesome & honest place near home! read more

Brought my car in for Oil Change. Wagih then said my Honda Pilot needed brake pads in the Rear. A guy delivered the brake pads within 15 mins. He showed me where they were made, Japan. I was happy. He also showed me how thin my pads were. I was glad I decided to do it. He also replace my windshield wipers. Costs were fair and low. Was very happy with everything. Not to mention my car drove stronger and brakes obviously were great. read more
