My husband and I bring both our cars here and we have been coming for years. I refer all my friends here and even strangers in need of a good mechanic. So many bad mechanics out there. Unfortunately due to the heat here in the desert and the age of both our cars, we have had to bring them in for service several times to replace parts. Gary has been great in helping us with fees and service. Even open today on Memorial Day! I really appreciate it as my car was inoperable and it was urgent to get fixed. We can't go without transportation in this heat. I have a grand baby to get to Urgent Care. Thanks to all Gary's employees who came in to work on this holiday, (Niko who services our vehicle). It was done quickly as we waited. Niko more owns the business. Him and his wife Veronica are a life saver. They are always heron me with last-minute emergencies. Thank you to them for always helping me out. They did a great job getting my window replaced quickly and fixing a few other things, too. They are wonderful people! And honest when I don't need something replaced!!!

I took my vehicle in so they can check the transmission they wanted to sell me a new transmission so I decided to get a second opinion Hilltop left the oil plug lose and the next day I found oil all over my garage floor I took in my vehicle in for second opinion and all it needed was a solenoid replaced in the transmission from almost ten grand to twelve hundred dollars some shops can’t be trusted

Hilltop Automotive has consistently provided outstanding service for both my family and work vehicles. Their team is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about their customers. Every maintenance and repair task has been handled with great efficiency and attention to detail. They communicate clearly, ensuring that I understand the necessary repairs or services without feeling pressured. Hilltop Automotive truly goes above and beyond, making them a reliable choice. I'm grateful for the peace of mind they provide and highly recommend them to anyone in need of trustworthy automotive care.

I went to Hilltop Automotive to get a leak from my car fixed. Nico personally took care of my leak. The service Nico provided was phenomenal!!! The price was decent but worth it cause of the great service Nico & Hilltop provided. I recommend this place for all your car needs!

If you're a AAA member, come here for your smog test. We needed a smog test and a quick check on the CA website listed this as a business near us. I called to check if we needed an appointment and they said walk ins are welcome from 8AM-4PM. There's a few parking spots in front of their shop, but there is street parking available as well. The waiting room has a tall table and four chairs while there's also a couch. They had this small shop fan on the floor but it was strong and kept us very cool. We got checked in and were informed it would be $70 for a 10 minute smog check. I had my Nintendo switch with me and I hadn't even finished one Pokémon battle when they informed us everything was complete. They also advised us that we could pick up our tags at the AAA office since they were a certified partner. The whole ordeal took us less than 2 hours we got our car smogged and the tags for it within the same day. No need to worry about it getting lost in the mail.

0/5 Charged me $1500 for an Inverter Water Pump replacement and coolant replacement on my 2006 Prius back in 2022. Just for 1 water pump right behind the driver side headlight, really?!? Ridiculous prices and wouldn’t have paid had it not been an emergency. Absolute scammers and still have a receipt to prove it.

My secondary car a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee just stopped and had to be towed to one shop. They did not know what was wrong so they referred us to hilltop automotive so we have the car towed there too. It was a process of elimination and they still couldn't find exactly what was wrong with the vehicle but it runs. They couldn't have been nicer and more efficient. They seem to be very honest and the only charged a very small fee. I would not hesitate to take the car back if there was any other problems and it was somewhat easy to find.

I’ve had a previous experience with Hilltop, and it also turned out great. Very professional, efficient, and friendly employees. My latest experience was a radiator replacement on my pickup. FAST service, a reasonable price . . . and I’m confident in the work.

The people there were pleasant, however my car was said to be done that same day, but then wasn’t. My car was not done until about 11am the next day. I was definitely frustrated with the communication or lack there of, as I had to keep calling to check in on the progress. I also felt that they were charging way too much “labor” for what had been done. I was charged about $60 more than the “Parts” which was still way overpriced. Keep in mind the “Parts” was about $500 for 3 little parts. Not sure if this was because I came in alone and am a woman but either way I am disappointed. I could not find any information on hourly rates for labor so this also seems shady. Also had some over charging, still to this very minute I over paid as a AAA member there is a discount of, I believe, 10% which I did not get nearly that percent. I am not sure if I would go back if another issue arises with my vehicle as I feel I have been taken advantage of.

As a woman, getting reliable trustworthy service is challenging. I don't know as much as a guy does about motors but I do know when something isn't right with my vehicle and all I can say is that I trust Hilltop to the fullest. They go above & beyond for their customers. I depend on my vehicle for work and they keep it running so I keep making money. They keep all of our vehicles running my husbands, my son and his wife. I am all about service, service, service and that is what you get at HILLTOP

Who thought getting your car serviced could be fun?! Not only did Hilltop do a great job, but I left feeling like I’d made new friends. Fantastic service-even drove me home and picked me back up so, no waiting. And, they charged less than my previous mechanic-even with inflation.

Nico has always taken Real Good care of me. He is fair and reasonably priced. And Veronica, in the Front of the House, couldn't be kinder or more considerate. They are a "family style" Auto Shop that treat you right ✅️

I am a first time customer of Hilltop's. Started with an oil change and several days later had about $2,000 work done. Hilltop reminds me of my past mechanical service and is just as good, if not better. I feel that my problems and concerns are really addressed to my satisfaction. I get the feeling it's a one-on-one experience. I have never got similar service from a Dealer

I visited without an appointment to have my vehicle smogged for dmv registration. Everyone was engaged and cordial and provided a wonderful experience. The waiting area was comfortable and the entire process was smooth. Total time in and out was about 15-20 minutes. Highly recommend this place of business.

Had check engine light on. First shop replaced O2 sensors ($750) and didn’t fix the problem. I did get a full refund though. Took the truck to hilltop and they had it diagnosed and fixed in a couple hours. The problem was a blown fuse. I will definitely use hilltop again and recommend them to others.

Took my car to Hilltop for a smog test. The service was efficient and the young lady at the front desk (apologies to her as I don’t know her name) managed the whole process with excellence. I have been going to Hilltop for smog tests for a few years now and not had one bad experience.

I love Hilltop Automotive! They are always easy to get an appointment with, honest, thorough and quick. I have a 2008 car and although it is a blessing not to be straddled with car payments, it does require I have a competent and trustworthy mechanic shop to go to. I've been to a few and this is where I've decided to stay. Great team, fair prices!
