I highly recommend Dependable Car Care for your go to mechanic for repairs and maintenance.
I appreciated how Doug listened to my concerns, and answered my questions with knowledge and patience as I had a lot of questions regarding my “new” older vehicle.
I had compared inspections and was told by a different car shop that I needed additional expensive car parts. Doug informed me I didn’t need them and explained why. This made me feel confident in the work that truly needed to be completed.
I only wish they were open weekends. Yet at the same time it makes sense and explains why I get that “family work life balance “feel while I’m there.
Working through the administrative cost processes was time efficient. It was nice, not having to be transferred between departments for information, as Doug himself is an ASE certified mechanic, so was able to explain and handle, mechanical and cost information.
I will definitely be returning for my car care needs!

I had an excellent experience getting my brakes replaced at Dependable Car Care. From start to finish, the staff was friendly, professional, and transparent about the work my car needed. My car now feels safe and smooth on the road, and I’m really impressed with the quality of their work. I’ll definitely be coming back for future maintenance and recommending them to friends and family.

I am very satisfied with this mechanic shop. I felt welcome the moment I walked inside, and it became evident that these guys care about their jobs, their customers and their vehicles.
That being said, I took my 2012 Honda Civic on two separate occasions for a couple of different issues that I had been having trouble with for a while, and they were able to diagnose them correctly and fix them without charging me an arm and a leg. I also liked that they did not try to sell me any other services. This is important because it's difficult to to make ends meet in this economy as it is right now.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a mechanic shop that is experienced and trustworthy, this is it. I highly recommend them. Also, I would personally like to thank Doug for everything. Thank you brother!

After trying a few places to take our family cars, we discovered Dependable and haven't looked back! Doug is great and super responsive/communicative, and I love that he always looks back at my vehicle history when I'm coming in for an issue or just a routine oil change. I truly feel like I'm getting honest recommendations for service needed and a lot of warning in advance of when things should be serviced/replaced/checked in the future. Bonus: it's close enough to my home that I can walk back after dropping my car if I don't have a ride :)
