Do Not recommend! If you do go please take someone with you he will definitely try and get over on you. I took my car here because my muffler had fell. He told me my car repairs was going be $1700 (and charged me $100 for a diagnostic (even tho I didn’t need one I was getting my muffler fixed) basically said my car was over with. Long story short I got 2 other opinions ended up taking it to meineke and got it fixed for a little under $400. I took it back to him and told him I got it fixed showed him my paper work and ask him why was he charging so much he said meineke got on me and my car will break down….This was 5months ago and my car is still running just fine and I haven’t got any more work done…Do NOT RECOMMEND!

My car was in the shop for less than 24 hours. The owner Larry was kind, knowledgeable, and efficient. The price was reasonable. Definitely would recommend to anybody.

I was on a road trip from NM to VT when a bucket came off a car in front of me and tore something off the underside of my vehicle. Panicking, I brought it in to the closest shop I could find. I can't say enough good things about Larry's kindness and professionalism as he diagnosed the problem, ensured my safety, and got me quickly on my way. Amazing service and a true exercise in human decency -- thank you!!!

Great experience dealing with Larry and Reliable Automotive. They were able to diagnose the problem and have my vehicle repaired in a reasonable amount of time at a fair price. If you're looking for a automotive repair shop that you feel you can trust and that is fair than I would recommend Reliable Automotive to anyone!

On a cross country trip to a friend’s wedding with more than 1000mi to go we noticed strange noises coming from the underside of our Prius. Reliable Automotive was right off the highway we were on so we carefully drove over for help. Mr. Larry and his staff were so kind, put it up on a lift and took the time to actually show us what was causing the rattling. We were back on the road within an hour or so all fixed up! These folks are professional and compassionate— truly a godsend to have found them!!

The most ABSOLUTE best service I’ve had in my entire life! Mr.Larry (the owner) is a truly exceptional man. He literally saved me from a nightmare… I made a huge mistake of going to another auto repair shop before him and the repairs they made caused more damage! I was told it was one thing and then another in order for them to get paid more for a different repair. Both repairs they did they damaged other parts while doing so. I must say this was a nightmare due to me being six months pregnant and originally from Texas and moving back. He made sure he would ensure that I get all of what I needed taken care of before me hitting the highway again… and he did just that. He even went out of his way to pick me up since I was close in the area instead of getting a Uber to I can get back to my vehicle. When I tell you this experience was amazing it shows you that there are still really good people out there and mr.Larry at reliable auto is one of them for sure. I would highly recommend ANYONE to this auto repair it’s worth it and you will be running PROPERLY. I would love to say thanks to the most amazing mechanic and his crew💪🏽

Kevin is the best

We broke down on our way from Chicagoland to central Missouri and limped our way to St. Louis Auto Repair where we were met with the friendliest and most helpful mechanics I've had the opportunity to meet. Not only did Larry, Kevin and crew go out of their way to help us out well past the hours they closed, including giving us a ride to pick up a loaner, but they replaced the transmission on our 2012 Nissan Quest and got us back home safe and sound. If your looking for honest, professional, and sincerely helpful mechanics, no need to look any further. Thank you gentlemen for everything you did to help us out during the holiday season of 2019!
