I've been a customer at Reliance Auto Mechanic on Cannon St. In Hamilton for about 5 years. I drive a 2011 Honda Fit with lots of km. on it. I have had good experiences with every visit. Joe, who runs the garage and is the senior mechanic is, in my opinion, a totally excellent mechanic, totally honest, a really good communicator, a man of his word, and occasionally has gone out of his way to meet my time needs,. Etc. My 5 star rating of Reliance reflects my very excellent experiences there. I have no personal or business connection with Reliance other than getting my car serviced. I go there because it's near my home..

Great service, super friendly staff! I also like how they always use OEM parts, especially considering how well they price their services. I will definitely be coming back here

I had a dealership estimate of $2,000.00 for replacement of front and rear rotors and pads plus brake fluid exchange. Joe examined the brakes, and said I only needed rear pads and rotors with caliper service. This service was less than a quarter of what dealership was going to charge. Great service. Work done quickly while I waited.

I can not say enough good things about Reliance Auto. I recently moved to the area and had an emergency with my CR-V. I was able to get my car towed directly there and they were able to give me a diagnosis that day even though it was late in the afternoon and work was completed by early the following day. The price was beyond fair and I am forever grateful.

The booking was smooth. The time to address my issues and to get the car back was very timely. The assessment of what needed to be done was thorough and good. The repairs were well done

Excellent service, honest, fair prices and finished early. I had my vehicle towed here after my friend recommended them. I had my subframe break and I thought it would be a long wait because it's not a stocked part and hard to get. They found me a used one the same day and saved me money. They told me it would take 3 days to install. It was done in 3 days. I had a couple parts in my back seat and they install them free of charge since they were in the same area. They kept me in the loop every step of the way. That was a few weeks ago and it still drives great! Like a brand new vehicle! This will now be my regular shop!

Always good service. I've been coming here for about two years and I trust the sevice and pricing. I had my car fully serviced because I was going on a 16 hour drive. Joe made sure my car was safe for the trip. My plans were changed but I'm glad the car was fully serviced. Joe is always professional and he explains any concerns prior to doing the work. This is very important when you're on a budget. I will keep coming back.

JJ May 5, 2024

Honest, fair pricing, quality work. Took me in same day for a safety, had me out, work done and saftied within 4-5 hours. A++ recommended from me.

The staff is always friendly and they do great work.

Sharon Kane Apr 4, 2024

We would give 6 stars if we could. We had our check engine light come on nearby on 403, they were able to see us right away, had the job done in half the time estimated at a reasonable rate and with $ off our CAA membership. Able to continue our road trip safely. Thanks again!

Sharon Saxon-Buri Apr 4, 2024

Fast, friendly, and affordable service. I took my car in for a brake replacement, and was pleasantly surprised with the price and the quick turn around time. The staff were engaging and helpful - answering all of my questions. Will definitely come back for all of my maintenance and repairs in the future 🙂.

Anado Johnson Mar 3, 2024

This is the most honest shop I’ve ever been to! It’s affordable and quick service ! I will forever be bringing my car to this place !

Alexis Bennett Feb 2, 2024

Had damage to my radiator hoses on an old BMW. They fixed it well, and stayed after hours to show me that the steam coming from the radiator after the repair was leftover coolant from the initial leak and that it was all good and they were chill about it. Appreciate the care and good service on the repair

Eric Solomon Dec 12, 2023

Good job

Pavel Slivka Dec 12, 2023

Great!

Bruce McLeod Dec 12, 2023

Thank goodness for Joe at Reliance ! If it wasn't for him, I would be taking the bus because he has rescued me and my s#!+box truck more times than I can count! He is never too busy to address whatever Fresh Hell is occurring with my ancient truck, and he always ensures that it is safe for my son and me to drive. As soon as I win the LottoMax, I'm going to buy an EXTREMELY expensive fancy truck, and I will only allow Joe to perform its regularly scheduled maintenance (when my butler brings it in to Reliance of course-because I'll be on a beach somewhere...)

Carie-Anne Nov 11, 2023

The guys here are welcoming and have very good knowledge about cars. Though I drive a German, Joe had the fox figured out with ease. Plus I got some aftermarket parts installed. Love it! Def my guy/ garage in Hamilton!

Clifford Jude Nov 11, 2023

Friendly service provided in an "on-time" timely manner, reasonable prices,

Tom Burns Sep 9, 2023

Honest, helpful, fast and great prices. I know little about cars and the mechanic lifted my car back up to show me in detail what was wrong visually. They helped me identify a bad safety and has been my go-to mechanic since. Highly reccommend.

Kiera Brusey Sep 9, 2023
