Hello, I’m Michael Rutherford

I am the owner of Dependable Auto Care LLC. I’ve been working in the mechanical field for over 20 years, starting with tires and growing into brakes, suspension and full vehicle repair.

I joined the Navy Seabees and have spent 20 years as a diesel mechanic, where I learned discipline, precision, and the importance of doing the job right the first time.

I built this business to bring that same level of honesty and reliability to every customer i serve.

CUSTOMER-FIRST ATTITUDE At Dependable Auto Care, we believe auto repair should be straightforward and stress-free. We focus on supporting our customers with honest diagnostics, clear communication, and dependable work you can count on. You’ll always know what your vehicle needs and just as importantly, what it doesn’t.

How we put our customers first:

  • Honest diagnostics with no unnecessary repairs
  • Clear explanations before any work begins
  • Straightforward pricing-no surprises
  • Repairs done right the first time
  • Flexible scheduling with online booking

It’s never fun when your car breaks down in the middle of a trip, and that’s exactly what happened with this 2016 Toyota Highlander XLE. The owners had it diagnosed at another shop but decided to go with us for the repair, and we truly appreciate the trust and confidence they placed in our team. The alternator wasn’t the easiest one to get to, but the job got done right, and this Highlander is back on the road where it belongs.
