About

Who we are

Reliable Automotive began 17 years ago when Michael O’Brian, a Honda and Acura specialist, turned his passion into a business. Known as the “Honda Guy” in Franklin, Tennessee, Mike built his reputation through dedication, working long hours to help friends and neighbors keep their cars safe and reliable. His garage grew into a trusted shop focused on delivering honest service and exceptional care.

In 2022, we partnered with Pewitt Brothers, Franklin’s first auto repair shop, combining our shared values and deep community roots. By 2023, we expanded further by acquiring Franklin Automotive, adding a second location to better serve our customers.
