What Torrance Drivers Say About Us

"I'd like to give a thank you shout out to Hillside Auto. They got me in first thing in the morning for a diagnostic check when I experienced a major fail on my Lexus RX450h. Since I had to work that day, they ordered a Lyft to take me to Enterprise car rental. Later that day they called to let me know their tests proved inconclusive, but that Lexus had access to more detailed diagnostics. As a testament to their integrity, they did not even charge me for the tests that they ran. I eventually did bring the car to Lexus and even there, it took them two days to diagnose the problem. And an expensive one it was. I ultimately traded the car in for a new one. I so appreciate the honest service at Hillside. They could easily have charged me, not only for the diagnostics, but also for what would have amounted to a temporary fix. Instead, they deferred to dealer servicing and didn't charge a penny. I wholeheartedly endorse them for their honesty and integrity!"

"Went to Hillside Auto for a second opinion after seeing the long list of things the Toyota Dealership gave us, along with a big estimate. Hillside fully inspected my Sequoia and gave me photos of what they found wrong with my car. Half of what Toyota said we had to replace they found nothing wrong with it. The things that we did need to fix were much cheaper at Hillside. Customer service is top notch and they are extremely good at communicating to the customer. A bonus is they pay for your Uber both ways when you drop off and pick up your car!"

"I was completely surprised by the level of service they provided. Way better than the dealer and kept in touch with photos messaged to me as they inspected the car (you would expect a Toyota dealer to use Toyota parts, but apparently mine does not). Hillside gets a solid 10 from me just for their inspection and another 10 for the quick and reasonably priced repairs. The staff is young, smart and hard working. Their waiting room is comfortable and the restroom spotless."

"We have a 2007 Toyota Prius, and have been searching for some time for an alternative to a Toyota dealership for service. When we came upon Hillside Auto Repair and the glowing reviews bestowed upon it, we immediately made an appointment. We took it in for basic service this past weekend and are beyond thrilled to have found Hillside Auto. No extra fees, the service was completed in a timely manner, and the people were just great. I also love the homey feel of the waiting area, especially the thoughtful touches for young children, which delighted our 5-year daughter. Thank you Hillside Auto. You will definitely be seeing us again!"

"The techs and staff at Hillside are great. They are always courteous and will take the time to explain things and answer questions. They provide pictures of the items inspected to view before you have to agree if it needs replaced. They always try to accommodate and help save money where possible. I had been at another shop for several years that sold to Hillside. The change has been seamless."

"Are you kidding?! Free diagnosis? Who does that these days? Turns out my VW needed an electrical component only serviceable by the dealer. Those diagnostic machines they use to read the codes aren’t free. Still, they charged me $0.00. And they washed the car! It was not like I had been a long term customer it was my first time. Certainly not last."

"Great staff, great service, will definitely be back. I have been to over a dozen auto repair shops including the dealership ! This place is by far the best most professional place I have ever been. My whole experience at this shop was a delightful one."

"I have been there three times. The first two cost me nothing. In one case they said go to a dealership as they felt they were obligated to fix it free. Still, they left me with a freshly washed car. Eventually I was able to pay them a fair price for a brake job and oil change. I trust them."

"Amazing experience at Hillside Auto Repair. Everyone was so friendly. I got new brake pads and rotors on my AUDI A3. Service was fast and pricing was way lower than at the dealership. I'm one happy customer :-)"

"Hillside staff are friendly and helpful. They complete maintenance work in a timely manner. Pricing is better than dealer prices. I would highly recommend Hillside Auto for all your car needs."

"Hillside has been servicing my Lexus for years. They service my Lexus far more economically than the dealership and I feel they do a good job. They are very customer service oriented. The staff is always pleasant."

"Service was excellent. Had our car back in record time - significantly faster than any dealer we have used. Highly recommend!!"

"Great service - they're very responsive, friendly and know their stuff. No more taking my Prius to the dealership service anymore. Hillside has got my business from here on out."

"Everything was fabulous! To be perfectly honest, it was truly like taking my car to the Saturn Dealership in Torrance when it existed."

"Their service was great. I have trouble with my low beam head lights. And they referred me to another shop after looking over my car for half. I was not charged a penny."

"Awesome service. Much cheaper than dealer, texted status as service was being performed, provided Lyft transportation home, and complementary car wash."

"They did a great job! The dealership was robbing me blind and doing a sloppy job. I now have a new home for my vehicle 💯👏🏾👍🏾"

"This was by far the best service we have gotten from an auto shop! From the first phone call to ask for pricing to the last pick up of our car, I got A+ service! It was just for a regular oil check yet I came out of this place with so much more! They diagnosed the check engine light of my car, Sammy on front desk was amazing. Offered me cookies and coffee and ride to where I needed to be, texted and called to let me know about my car, and after hours pick up was a breeze at the gas station they owned across the street! We are definitely recommending to all our friends and neighbors! And coming back for all our future car needs! Oooh and I left with a dirty car ( we just got back from snow trip in mountains) and they washed/ cleaned my car including tires! Amazing!!!"

"2 Thumbs up. Took Chuck my truck who is now officially 14 years old with over 229k miles for a pre-Mammoth check up. The doctors gave him his shots, took care of everything and gave me and Chuck the A+ ok to go signal. I love that they are trustworthy enough to understand how important it is for my truck to be in the best possible condition to conquer the weather we are going to face when we head up during these crazy awesome storms for the snowboarding season. Thank you Hillside Auto for always being accommodating, reliable, having excellent customer service and being real. I said it before and I'll say it again, they email, call and stay on top of everything. Having a medical record for Chuck and good doctors are 100% important. They care about my Ford Ranger just as much as I do and that means a lot."

"The front office staff are knowledgable, friendly, courteous, and honest. They honor their warranty without a hassle, even informing me of a problem I didn't know about.The mechanics are knowledgable, very skilled, and proud of their work. If they recommend doing an unexpected repair they always take the time to explain why they believe it should be done, along with pros and cons of doing or not doing it. They are completely trustworthy, and would never mislead you.Hillside Auto Repair is justifiably proud of their outstanding reputation, and I am completely satisfied with my experience with them."

"I brought my car in because it wasn't running properly. I got a call an hour later telling me what was wrong and i was quoted $1,000. I approved the work. When i came to pick up my car they told me that they were able to find the replacement parts for less and my bill ended up being $800. I have been a loyal customer of Hillside Auto for 14 years. Every time they prove to be trustworthy, honest, and their work is superior. Thank you!"

"I have had good experiences when dealing with Hillside Auto Repair. Each time I have taken my vehicles there the folks there have been honest with their assessment and recommendations. They make you feel comfortable and take the time to explain things to you. One of my vehicles had to be towed to their location and they contacted me the following day with what happen and what need to be done. The prices are reasonable as well. They make you feel like part of an extended family member. All I can say is give them a chance and you can decide for yourself."

"I have driven by Hillside Auto Repair for years. Not until I had an emergency with a Hybrid car did I finally go their shop, and that was on the recommendation of a current client. From the moment I drove up and explained my situation to the moment I drove off as a satisfied new customer these guys were the best. Everything was explained thoroughly and it was nice to have mechanics who wanted me to understand what my options were. Carlos is the man to see!. I would without reservation recommend Hillside Auto Repair for any auto service needs."

"I went in with a flat tire on my car and was looking at replacing it for a little over $100. (Frustrating to hear on tires that were only a few years old but a good deal as replacing tires go). I was already looking for a good, trustworthy shop because my car needs some other work in the near future. On closer inspection, they found my flat tire was caused by a nail stuck in the tire. They plugged the hole for me in about 15 minutes for free. It would not have saved them much time compared to replacing my tire, but they offered to save me the cost of a new tire. Not only that, they washed the outside and vacuumed the inside cleaning my car of a few thousand miles of desert and road mess I hadn't found the time to clean up yet. I couldn't be happier with my experience and will be bringing my car back for its next oil change and future repairs."

"We could not be more pleased with the service we received at Hillside Auto. The entire process, from booking an appt. online, to arranging an onsite rental car and communication with the shop regarding their inspections and then competed work was excellent. The staff was friendly, polite and professional. Our vehicle is running better than we could have imagined. We will certainly return to Hillside Auto for future vehicle repairs and upkeep."

"From the moment you drive up. This is the VERY VERY best experience. Friendly service by everyone. We took our car in for basic service, oil change and such - they found a nail in the tire and fixed it at no extra charge. THEN come to find out we got a FREE car wash too!!! They had womens and mens bathrooms that were clean - also served coffee and cute donut holes... nice area to sit outside or in. Most enjoyable was how friendly and kind everyone was. I will go back to them forever!!!! SuziG"

"We have been using Hillside as our family auto repair shop for probably 15 years. The quality of the repair work on the cars has always been excellent. The service managers provide straightforward explanations for the needed repairs and they always try to help out when we have an emergency repair. Early bird drop off, courtesy rides home when you bring in your car, and the ability to pick up at the gas station after the repair shop has closed are all conveniences that help to make this an exceptional auto repair business."

"I don't like this place. I LOVE THIS PLACE! I needed an oil change so I researched the best one which was this one. I was a little skeptical due to how some mechanics treat women but I gave then a try. I couldn't stop looking at the enormous mountain located right in front. The customer service was 5 stars as well. All the gentlemen there were very friendly, helpful and courteous. Thank you so much for a quick and pleasant experience! :)"

"First, I think the name in Yelp is outdated, this is the website for the Hillside Auto Repair at that address: hillsideautorepair.com. My experience with this shop is that they are pleasant to work with, honest, fairly priced, and stand behind their work. They warranty the work they do and if you are not happy with it the first time, they will do what needs to be done until it is right. I don't think you can ask more from an auto shop."

"Everyone hates to deal with car repairs and maintenance, but here in southern California it's just a part of life. Hillside is a very ethical and honest business all of their employees - as well as the owner- can be trusted to answer your questions fully and truthfully. They assist you with understanding the problems/repairs, and are most courteous in their dealings. I gave up dealerships about 4 years ago, and have NEVER regretted it! My car is 10 yeas old with 100,000+ miles, and they give it and me the same careful attention as any other vehicle or owner. Great service and great people!"

"The professionalism of Hillside Auto Repair staff and employees is of the highest quality. It is truly a comfort to know that I can always trust that my cars will be in tip top shape when I pick them up after service. I am confident that Hillside Auto will treat me and my cars as if we were family. Honest, reliable, capable and careful - the by-words of Hillside Auto Repair. Thank you for always being there for me."

"After several attempts to fix a difficult problem with a Toyota Corolla by other garages, we finally took the vehicle to Hillside Auto Repair. The Manager there was very persistent and diligent in tracing the fault, repairing the car, and charging me only for the final fix. Where other repairmen gave up, Hillside Auto persisted until the car drove as designed. I highly recommend Hillside Auto Repair."

"I always get paranoid that auto mechanics might try to overcharge me or con me into doing unnecessary repairs, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found the mechanics at Hillside Auto to be honest about what I really needed done and they repaired my car under the estimated cost.The staff were pleasant and gave me a courtesy ride home, and they even repaired my car well ahead of schedule after I told them I was supposed to leave town early. The staff even cleaned my car a courtesy! I will probably bring my car back to this mechanic again if I am in the area."

"Hillside continues to be the best in the South Bay--no one compares! From their charming waiting area & friendly personnell to their outstanding service, we have always had complete satisfaction with their work. They'll even give you a complimentary ride home if you need it after offering you fresh baked goods & coffee. What a pleasantly reliable business!"

"Being a female going into a auto repair shop not knowing what to expect I was very comfortable going to Hillside Auto Repair they were so welcoming!! Crystal gave me a ride to my home and was the sweetest young lady ever!! I highly recommend this Auto Repair Shop!!! With great prices and excellent mechanic's I will definitely be going back."

"I earlier had brought in our Saturn SL for service before we decided to sell it. Excellent work, it worked like new. Next, my husband brought in our VUE and was very pleased with the work. If we had taken it to Martin Chevrolet or Penske Cadillac for that matter we would not have received nearly the same quality service with repairs. We look forward to our next appointment,"

"I was searching for a different auto repair place than the one I went to before. I found this place by googling what was close by at the time. I saw so many great reviews and decided to call them up and make an appointment. I must say, they were very professional. First, I dropped my car off before work and they uber'd me to work and made sure I got there on time they had my car ready by lunch time. They uber'd me back to the shop where my car was waiting. Hillside gave me a great price and made my entire experience painless. They vacuum'd my a.c. compressor completely clean and filled it with the proper amount of Freon. The a.c. compressor is actually quieter now, which I did not expect. I guess that is a sign that they did the job correctly I definitely recommend them and HAVE already started recommending them to people I know. Thanks again for a pleasant experience."

"Everyone was very helpful and answered all my questions. They were very knowledgeable. Instead of having to sit and wait for my car, I was given a ride to where I wanted to go next. I got my hair cut and did a little shopping, plus I had lunch. Then I was picked up and took care of my bill while they washed my car. A short time later my car was ready to go and I had more than enough time to make it to my next appointment. I even had plenty of time to stop at the library to pick up a book. It was a great day and I got a lot done. Thank you."

"I live in Washington state but was stuck in LA with a blown out transmission cooling line in my 1994 Chevy Astro Van. AAA towed me in, and Hillside tackled the difficult job of finding out why it happened and getting me back on the road home. Hillside Auto Repair was a great place to end up in that situation. Friendly people and good communication during the process. I would recommend Hillside to folks that live in that area for all their auto maintenance and repair needs."

"Thanks for the great service. Beyond repairing the problem I came in for, I appreciated that Hillside Auto Repair did a full inspection on my vehicle and reported all their recommendations. They washed, vacuumed, and cleaned my car, and I just want to say how much I appreciated that. In addition, they were very accommodating of my schedule and allowed for me to be able to pay for my service and pick up my car after hours."

"I desperately stopped in here after discovering I was moments away from a flat tire. The owner graciously took the time to inspect my tire, and he insisted on filling it up with air for me before recommending I head straight to a tire shop that he trusted.Thank you so much for your compassionate service! I took your advice, and your trusted source took care of me right away. I will be returning to Hillside for any future auto needs just based off of this experience alone!"

"I am having problems with my hybrid Honda 2005. it is very hard to find a mechanic who can take it due to its dual engine. I Google up and Hillside auto repair came up. I called and the answered my call very gently and then decided to take the car for a check up with them. in less than 2 hours they diagnosed my car problems for a very modest fee and explained me my options. very, very professionals and efficient service. I definitely recommend hillside auto repair"

"First time I used your services. You were recommended by a friend. I was highly impressed by the very courteous service. What really amazed me was the speed with which you worked. I dropped the car off on a Friday just before noon and got called Saturday morning at 10:25 to pick the car up. I had already figured I would have to rent a car for at least a Monday morning appointment. Thank you so very much."

"Hi everyone!! I am answering for Greg, as he is away at college and wont be returning for a while. His car is working great!! Thank you! He stated that it is running very well, and that everything was done very fast. Thank you for letting him leave his car overnight after he brought it to you for a diagnosis. He did not feel safe to drive it home and bring it back to be worked on the next day. We love you all, and Happy New Year!!!"

"I'm in love with this place. From the friendly atmosphere, the homemade treats for while you wait, all of the testimonials placed on the table.. Lets just say I had a pretty good vibe walking into this place.Back Story - The Low Oil light came on in my Audi. I checked it and the dip stick was bone dry. I went to O'Riley to buy some oil (wasn't leaking - I think I burn a little oil - nothing new in German cars). My TT takes about 6.5 quarts of oil so I purchased 4 quarts total. I put three quarts in and checked the dip stick and I overfilled it by accident. I know not to drive will excess oil because you can ruin the catalytic converter and even flood the cylinders among other things. I called a near by Valvoline to see if they can drain out some oil for me. Liability purposes, they could not. It was about two miles from me so I just decided to get an oil change. They couldn't do that because my car was too low for the little tracks I have to drive over. I was desperate so I took it to a Mum & Pop Jaguar repair shop. The owner wasn't there so they didn't want to help me. He referred me to Hillside which was across the street and said if they cant help you, come back. Went to hillside, probably was there about 20 minutes. They immediately took in my car to take a look and siphoned out the access oil, didn't charge a thing, and sent me on my way. I think I found my new repair shop!Also noticed on their business cards, it states they will bring you home if need be!"

"I have had brake and electrical work done (replace a faulty taillight housing) at Hillside Auto. Both repairs were fine experiences ... car repairs are always more expensive than you would like, but they did the job right and I felt well-treated. They made me a loyal customer when my taillight had a simple problem after the repair ... they fixed the problem while I waited (free, of course) and also checked an unrelated minor problem with the brakes and threw that in for free as well. They went the extra mile for my satisfaction."

"I have been to 100's of Mechanics in my lifetime and these guys are some of the best I have ever been to. I Brought my cars to them 7 times over the last 2 years and am absolutely impressed with service and prices and never being pushed into doing a repair that isn't really needed. Always able to get me in quick and give a ride home right away if needed."

"Thank you again for doing such a great job on my car!!! You found the problem so fast, and fixed it quickly. And as always, much appreciation for returning the car to me so, so, clean and pretty. You all are so wonderful, and your efforts so please your customers go above and beyond. Thanks for the quick diagnosis, and quick and skilled repair job. Seta"

"The Hillside staff was phenomenal. They let me drop-off my vehicle, called to tell me my options for repair, and did not charge me for a diagnosis! The technicians clearly know what they are doing and are willing to work with customers. To top it off, they accommodated to an after-hours pick-up at the gas station across the street. After this experience, I will return for future repairs."

"Hillside has very competent staff and are always courteous and honest. They are very thorough, and always return the car looking so beautiful, and clean with the free car wash and interior cleaning. I always feel so good when I step inside. Mostly, they treat their customers with the utmost respect, and are like family to me. Thank you Hillside!!!"

"Trust is a key component when it comes to your car and your mechanic. .. After getting our (free) estimate for a complete brake job and then shopping for price comparison, Hillside Automotive was hands down the perfect choice for us! They're courteous from start to finish and accommodating with scheduling. We will happily return to Hillside Automotive for all future service needs."

"I have complete confidence in every process at Hillside Auto Repair from appointment to diagnosis, through completed work and payment. Every individual at Hillside goes over the top in service and professionalism, even to the point of providing a ride home and back during the repair. I highly recommend Hillside Auto Repair to anyone in need."

"Had my alternator replaced last week and the service was great. They send you an email with a breakdown of the maintenance that includes pictures and explanations. They provide a AAA discount, allow you to pick up your car after hours at the gas station across the street until 11 pm, and even provide a free car wash. Their pricing was reasonable and they've earned a new customer."

"My partner and I just moved here as the virus struck, and we are both low on cash. They helped us to make sure we got the work we needed and worked with our budget, and they were very up front and honest about how long we can go before putting more money into what repairs. Would highly recommend! :)"

"Our experience with Hillside Auto is always exceptional. Beginning with the ease of making an appointment on-line, respectful & pleasant manner extended by the staff upon arrival, & thoughtfulness to extend curtesey rides to & from home. The workmanship is also top-notch. Besides the repairs, we even get our car back in cleaner, better detailed condition than when it arrived!"

"I arrived at Hillside the day before the 4th of July, and they were able to install a starter in my Suburban so it would be ready for the holiday weekend. Incredibly fast and friendly service. And top quality work as well. No need to look anywhere else, this is the place to go to get your car fixed. Honest, reliable, and local."

"The car was in for regular service plus one item we wanted checked. They called later and said the item to check was a broken engine mount. They recommended also replacing the other two because excess strain had been placed on them. They advised me of the cost and how long all of this would take. The actual bill was right on with the quote and was completed on time."

"Work was done correctly and quickly. Two things that don't always co-exist. Here they always do. And of course how can you talk about Hillside without mentioning the caring helpful attitude of absolutely everybody there. I like the place so much I'm tempted to drop in for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks everybody I needed my van in a hurry and you came through for me."

"Hi Everyone!!! Thank you for the great work done on my car and for the BEAUTIFUL clean car I so proudly drove home!!! The calcium deposits from the water from our sprinklers has made it difficult for me to see through my windows. It was so nice to be able to see, and my Honda CRV sparkled!!! Thank you for doing such a superb job with all of our family's vehicles."

"Staff was friendly and always remembers my name and vehicles. Jeff provided a ride home. Received a phone call regarding the necessary services that were needed. At that time an estimate was given of the costs. The staff always works with my schedule and provides excellent service. I wouldn't consider going any other place."

"This was my first visit and I came away very impressed. I had a chance to meet the entire staff, as well as tour the shop. They are family! The serviced my PRIUS and told me the correct information. I was able to get a ride home and my vehicle was ready on time. Price wise it wasn't too bad. I will be returning to have you service my vehicles in the future."

"Hillside is a great business. They are very personal and patient. The young woman who picked me up from my house to pick up my car was a bright light. Warm, friendly and punctual. Trust is a big thing and this business instantly creates trust in how they treat their customers. Thank you. You have my vote and I will return again and recommend you to others."

"Excellent service, care and such good people. We drove across the country to move out here and my car had some issues when we arrived. It is now working like a charm, looks as beautiful as ever, and I love driving it again. This is the place to come, best in the business!!"

"I’m so stoked I found a place a min from my house not only, but honest great guys that did awesome work on my car!!! They had everything done the same day! Living in CA only for a year a few months now I really wanted to find someone where I could build a relationship with over time, thanks guys! See u soon :)"

"Used Hillside recently for my sons 2012 Ford Escape. Needed an oil change, simple drop off and pick up work done and vehicle clean, that was a wonderful surprise! I've used them in the past for our previous Honda Civic and have been very satisfied with the service and fair pricing. It's nice to have a local repair in the neighborhood you can trust."

"Andre and the entire staff at Hillside automotive are absolutely wonderful. I'm very happy for the referral that I had gotten there from people who live locally in the Torrance area. Very courteous very conscientious and very pleased with the service that I had received from them thank you so much Andre and to your entire staff a big thank you!"

"Hillside Auto Repair is the best! I’ve used others in the past, but compared to Hillside, there is no comparison! They are trustworthy and do an outstanding job. I especially am impressed with their customer service."

"My service experience went like clock work. Everything was explained up front and the truck was finished on time and completely cleaned inside and out. The total was just as quoted and I believe they went out or there way to make sure the car was repaired correctly. Hillside automotive is my new home for my trucks wellness car."

"We have always been completely satisfied with the work you do. Our last experience was exceptional in the way you took the time to explain everything I'm detail. Your sending the pictures with the estimate was unique. Keep up the excellent work we have come to expect. know you will,."

"Great as always, but my first name is Travers, not Traverse. Please drop the "e" from your records. Otherwise, as always, the work was great and promptly done, the cost was good, and the personnel were incredibly helpful and friendly. We take both our cars to Hillside and would, and have, recommend them to anyone we know."

"5 star review! Great service at a great price. I have been taking my Lexus there for years and have always been satisfied. The staff will explain everything that is needs to be done and your car and will not try to "up-sell" you. I highly recommend them to everyone I know. Juanita"

"The crew at Hillside Automotive are fantastic. I have been taking my car to Hillside for a few years now and they have never let me down. They are honest, reliable, knowledgeable and expedient. Give them a try they are well worth the effort."

"Everything was just great. As usual Hillside gives great service. Repairs done in a timely manner and at a fair price. It is great to have such friendly and efficient mechanics and front desk people. They will give you door to door service with a smile. Never had a bad experience with them since I have been going there."

"I took my Chevy Tahoe in to replace the waterpump. I was given a ride home and also picked from my home. They are all very friendly and courteous. Truck runs great and they even gave it a much needed bath. I also received a followup call a week later. I highly recommend them."

"I've been going to Hillside Auto Repair for over ten years and have always received the best service. Our cars are well taken care of by their outstanding staff. Thank you to all at Hillside for always providing first class treatment!"

"We receive an awesome service, as usual, at hillside. It is our preferred place to get our car work done. People are so professional, courteous and go out of their way to help out. And they are trustworthy. I truly appreciate the service we receive from here. Thank you!"

"The staff at Hillside Auto Repair and Chevron are always so helpful, friendly and super professional. I am happy they are my neighborhood auto repair shop and I know I can count on them to help me with my car needs. Everything from a gas fill up or car wash to serious auto repair - they provide a solution."

"Hillside Auto Repair is the place to go. This was my second time there and I'll be back. Customer care is top notch here. The atmosphere is relaxed. If you have anxiety over auto repairs this is the place to go, they're thorough, competant, and honest. Great place!"

"I had the pleasure of going into hillside as I was staying in the area for a few days for work. They are the best auto place I have ever been to! Super clean, honest, helpful, informative and fast! Thank you for everything!!"

"Awesome as always!!!! Thank you for taking great care of us, and our vehicles. We are very fortunate to have you all, to call and know that you will take care of everything. Your expertise and honesty, are greatly appreciated. Thanks again and thank you also for the carwash. The jeep looks beautiful!!!!"

"I had my car at 3 other shops and no one could find the problem I brought my car here and they found the problem. They also kept me informed during the whole process, the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend this auto repair shop to everyone out there."

"I have had excellent service every time I have brought my car into Hillside. Everyone is friendly and courteous. They check things that I, as an eighty five year old, can not check for myself. I feel very secure that my car is in good condition and safe to drive."

"Service is excellent, the prices are fair (or better than fair), and the people are honest. I took my car in for an oil change. I thought I had cleaned out all valuables. I left $40 in the car. It was returned with a note."

"Had my oil changed and was given a list of 4 items that needed to be done on my car. Except for cleaning the battery terminal ($23.05) which seems like a lot to clean one small area, I have been told by another repair place that none of these things need to be done. Hope you can explain this to me."

"I took it in for a warning light and they were honest about their capabilities and did not charge to diagnose. It turned out to be an electrical issue and they were able to refer me to another company which turned out good. I even got a car wash. Nice bonus."

"Hillside Auto Repair is a hidden gem. They do superb repair and maintenance on your vehicle. They have great customer service and their staff remains long term with the company. My mother, Lois, and I have appreciated all of the accommodations they made for her due to her health issues and age."

"You have maintained my vehicles for many years. Service is always convenient and delivered with a smile. Problems are analyzed quickly and consultations and estimates are made in advance of expenditure. You're not the cheapest but I trust what you do. It is what I call "being professional"."

"Trustworthy, friendly, accommodating and always explains what needs to be done-then does it well! The employees are outstanding and courteous. Have been using them for years and trust will do so in future."

"Awesome experience at this auto shop. Very knowledgeable, honest and good communication. I never felt like I was getting taken advantage of and always felt that everyone wanted the best for me and my car!"

"Went in for them to change my oil and get my brakes inspected. Staff was very friendly and actually had quite a good conversation while I was waiting. This is close by so will have my car serviced here again. Had all kinds of cars getting worked on so that is nice to know as well."

"I have been going to Hillside Auto for many years now and let me just say they are the best! Recently, I have been working with Sam on my vehicle. He is amazing, always so helpful and takes the time to go over my vehicle's inspection with me. I have also worked with Charlie on getting things done or changed out on my car in the past. Another amazing person that will break down and go over the details. Lastly, I want to give a shout out to the mechanics in the shop for your amazing work! Thank you Hillside Auto"

"Dave Carney and his staff are the best in the south bay! The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable, and you really feel like they are keeping your best interest in mind. I have total confidence in their services and recommendations for my vehicle. My vehicle has always been serviced in a timely manner and at a fair cost. The best part is that with any service you get a free car wash! what a plus! Highly recommend Dave Carney's Hillside automotive and friendly staff for any automotive needs!"

"After calling three other repair shops in the L.A. area about my broken air conditioning on my Toyota Prius, Hillside was the only one that said they were able to help me because of the year my car was manufactured. No other shops specialized in hybrid cars. They were very courteous over the phone, I never felt rushed or pressured and it felt more like talking to an old friend who genuinely cared about helping me. I was able to schedule an appointment the very next day. When I arrived I was met with outstanding customer service. Sam was my guy and he took care of me like - he'd known me since I was a kid. They were able to diagnose my car for the ac, gave me a free multi-point inspection and gave me a thorough breakdown on all the costs. I even got a free car wash. I couldn't have asked for more. They were very knowledgeable in hybrid cars and I highly recommend anyone to take their vehicles there if they want it in trusted hands. This is a long overdue review for a very well deserved repair shop and I apologize it took me so long to write this. Big thank-you to Sam and the entire staff there. You all were amazing!"

"My first time here, after deciding based on excellent reviews on NextDoor app. First class car care, I especially loved that they were thorough, explained and documented everything about my service and what needs to be done in the future (a huge help to me on my budget) and their work is top notch and fast, I had my car back in less than 24 hrs. Sam is excellent to work with, caring, and consientious, helping me with making the best choices financially and automotively. I won't go anywhere else, I was treated like family, and there is nothing worth more to me!"

"My husband had taken his car here and recommended them to me when I recently had an issue. Particularly, he mentioned Sam as he was very knowledgeable and honest. It’s rare to find an honest auto repair shop but that’s what I found at Hillside. Sam could easily have charged us for a repair which may have been covered by the dealer warranty and suggested we check with them first. If turned out he was correct, and it saved us plenty. I highly recommend this business and we will continue to bring our cars here for service!"

"BEST automotive repair spot in the South Bay! I have been taking my Prius to Hillside Auto Repair for the past 3 years, and I am always impressed by the knowledgeable, honest, reliable, fast, friendly service I receive from everyone I come into contact with at Hillside Auto Repair. Whether it be a ride home from the owner, Dave, a phone call from Mike, or a chat with Juan Carlos (the BEST car detailer ever!), everyone at Hillside Auto Repair seems to genuinely care about the customers. Hillside Auto Repair seems to have discovered the secret recipe for being a family-run business that provides 5 star professional service! I always leave the shop feeling like I'm driving a brand new car! I can't imagine taking my car anywhere else - they've earned me as a customer for life! I mean, really, on top of everything else, they provide free daily home-made treats made by baker-extraordinare, Zoie!"

". I've been a customer for over 20 years so it is no surprise that I think the service is the BEST! They are friendly, competent and service oriented. I have never had to return my car because a repair was not done properly. This last trip was to repair my grandson's car. They did an excellent job of repairs, as usual, and delivered the car ahead of schedule. My grandson feels like he is driving a new car. Michael is also the BEST and I hope he remains there for my lifetime!!"

"Hillside Auto is honest, efficient AND considerate when it comes to their customers’ needs. I’ve had so many experiences with OTHER SHOPS who “see me coming from a mile away and are ready to charge me for all kinds of things I don’t need.” This shop NEVER makes me feel that way. I’ll keep coming back here for my auto needs. UPDATE AUG 25 2019: I’ve been coming here for ALL my and my family’s automotive needs. They treat each of us with respect and kindness and are always honest with repairs needed. I will continue to trust Sam and the crew."

"I bought a used 2011 Toyota Sienna minivan from a local Toyota dealership for a good price. Since it is a used car, I wanted to get it checked out by an automotive repair shop for an unbiased opinion on the current condition of the car. I took it to Dave Carney's Hillside Auto Repair because I trust Dave and his team to give me a truthful assessment of the car. They are a AAA-Approved auto repair shop and specifically offer a used-car inspection service with an extensive checklist of things they evaluate on the car. They went through the checklist and gave me a report on what they found. The cost of the service was $100, but it was absolutely worth it to get that evaluation. I was pleased and relieved to hear that the current condition was normal for the age and miles on the car, and there was no evidence of any hidden problems (Note: This is just my summary. Their report was more detailed with objective measurements of brake pads and other items.) I highly recommend Hillside Auto Repair as a place where you can get an honest assessment of the current condition of your car."

"Dave Carney's Hillside Automotive is the best automotive shop I have ever been to!I moved to the LA area and bought my first car ever about 3 years ago.Demetrios and Mike answer all of the crazy questions of a first time car owner with patience and adjust the detail of their answers to my knowledge level. I had been to a couple other shops for routine service and treated with disdain when asking questions, so I know the difference.Demetrios and Mike are always willing to offer service suggestions taking into consideration the typical mileage stuff, my driving habits and especially my budget! The shop is always clean and I love the snacks and drinks available when waiting. (The soap in the ladies room is from Restoration Hardware, when was the last time you saw that kind attention to detail at an auto shop!)Everyone in the shop is very polite and makes it easy for a girl like me to feel comfortable with my automotive needs. It is also a great bonus that my car is clean every time I pick it up!I highly recommend Hillside for all your automotive needs."

"Very pleased with the service. Liz was very personable and she is the first one you come in contact with when you enter. Sam explained what needed to be done. Because some of the work was unexpected, they had to keep the car overnight. All was clearly explained - even pictures to show the work in progress. The work and service were top notch. And I do appreciate the UBER ride. It makes life so much easier until once again in my own car. THANK YOU for the outstanding treatment of me AND my car."

"Have had major work on several vehicles at Hillside Auto. This team is awesome! Sam is great at communicating progress and details and I love the email ‘d info and photos of what is going on. They have gone above and beyond for us several times now and I appreciate their hard work, honesty and easy to deal with attitudes/demeanor. It’s such a pleasure having a great option to have car work done! Thank you Hillside Auto!!!"

"Sam was great! I had been to the shop once before when I needed an emergency tow for a previous car (a 1998 Buick) that had broken down unexpectedly. When I got my 2014 Prius as a replacement car, I decided to give The Hybrid Shop a try for a scheduled oil change and replacement brake pads. Sam was able to squeeze me in between appointments and gave me great advice on how to take full advantage of my extended warranty that I purchased when I bought my car through Autonation. He also offered Uber rides back to and from my house to pick up the car, which was totally convenient and very much appreciated. Very honest, respectful and very professional service! Now that we’ve got two Toyota hybrid cars in the family, we’ve got a great mechanic to service them both, and below dealer prices! Thanks Sam!"

"We absolutely adored this repair shop. The owner Dave is super nice and has a friendly smile too. The customers are friendly too as well as all of the employees. They go above and beyond to please their customers. We have this Honda civic that needs to have the air conditioner charged every so often. They gave it a charge and it's nice and cold now. Dave even called and left us a message to make sure it was still cold since sometimes they can leak. No problems with it. We are very pleased and this is going to be our new repair shop for our car. I forgot to mention they have great prices too. That is a big plus for our pocket book. We are happy to save money when we can. So glad we found this place. I had driven by many times and never stopped. Too bad I didn't. Saw it on yelp reviews and decided to try. Until next time. Happy Driving!"

"I went in with a nail in my tire which could not be patched. Mike was very honest with his evaluation of my tire. Charlie quickly let me know that they had my tire in stock. I told him I had 30 minutes because I had to pick up my daughter. He had it done in 25. Morgan was very pleasant and gave me a bottle of water while I waited. I also frequent Hillside gas station across the street and they are always friendly and helpful. A first class business with employees who know how to treat customers! Highly recommended!!!"

"I went to Hillside Auto Repair for the first time to have my brake fluid replaced. I made an appointment ahead of time. When I got there, they took my car right away. Mike helped me, and he is a very nice and courteous person. The business is very clean (which is hard for an auto shop) and the employees all seemed very happy to be there. This is one of the best experiences I have had at an auto shop. The owner came in while I was there and introduced himself. He asked everyone if they needed more help and was very nice. Overall this was a very positive experience."

"I've always had a good experience with Hillside. I've been taking my cars there since moving to the PV area in 2004. The Carney's are great people and hire people that are an extension of their family serving the community. Always honest, fair and courteous. Yesterday I had a really great Hillside experience. I called to get my brakes checked. Hillside replaced my brakes the year before last and they had been squeaking for the past couple of months. I was convinced that I was in need of new brakes again, but when they checked it. They saw the brakes were not in need of replacing, but did hear the squeaking. They ended up replacing the squeaking brakes with new brakes at no additional cost because they were still considered under warranty. Not many mechanics would do it at no additional cost, but Hillside did because they stand behind their work - even if it was a couple of years ago! Thanks to Dave, Zoe and the rest of the Hillside team!"

"I am so impressed with the exceptional service I received from your shop. It was the first time I've been there, and it will not be the last. David, your service manager, became my new best friend. I was dropped off at home in the morning, and picked up later that afternoon. David kept me informed as to what was happening to my car, and never pressured me to do any work that was unnecessary. I don't think I've ever been so comfortable getting major work done on an automobile. A five star facility for sure!!!"

"A five star auto repair facility!honestreliable and thorough in their repairsoften under the estimatewill pick u up and take u home if repairs are going to be more than an hour or sofriendly and knowledgeable will try to get best price for major replacement partseach your car when done w repairDave Carney runs a great shop! Mike is terrific as is all desk staff.Zoe makes great scones for customers to eat while they are waiting!Thanks !"

"This was my third auto repair opinion and it was the most complete, best price, and with a ride to and from home, the most convenient. David checked over all the maintenance history paperwork and determined the right treatment for my car. I had been a regular customer of the beautiful gas station and now I'm a regular at the repair shop. The car was even freshly washed. I'm glad the Hybrid sign didn't scare me away."

"# 1 in all areas, welcoming customers, listening to the problem, calling to inform the customer of the problems and cost, cleaning the car after service and, one of the best service is the taking you home and coming for you when the service is over. The fact that Dave Cerny call a day or two later to make sure all is ok. My car has never been to anyone else in 11 years. I am one very satisfied customer."

"We were having trouble with our hybrid battery and unfortunately the news we received wasn't good. We decided to leave a review regardless because Mike and the crew were amazing. We were grateful for the help provided and were impressed that Dave himself took the time to come and chat with us and educate us on hybrids cars. We definitely would recommend Hillside Auto Repair and will definitely be coming back if we have any future issues with our hybrid car."

"I can't say enough good things about Hillside Auto Repair. I have been going there for a long time and have been very happy with their service. They are honest and will never try to up-sell you or make repairs you don't need. I used to go to the Lexus dealership but I am so happy I found Hillside and I recommend them to everyone I know. Mike, Andre and the rest of the staff are so helpful. You can't go wrong if you take your car to Hillside."

"Andre and Mike, I cannot thank you enough for all the information and help that you gave to me in diagnosis and repair of our truck. Thank you for your expert watch and care in efficiently getting the job done. It works so well now, and the repairs truly made a huge difference. It drives so much better and much smoother in feel. I value always your honest opinions and trust you. It is never easy to be the one who calls and gives the breakdown of problems. It is an older truck, and I am grateful that you all could find the problems, and fix the issues expertly. My husband drove it home, and liked the way it felt. Thanks so much for taking great care of our cars. It also looked really beautiful when we picked it up, very clean inside and out!!! Thank you Mike and Andre, for always doing such a wonderful job. Have a wonderful rest of your summer!"

"I don't know how to thank you Dave, Mike, and Andre for always helping me out in a pinch. I appreciate your willingness to sort the confusion out on my end, be it car windows that don't work, and most recently, electrical issues with our truck. Thank you for taking an expert look at it and giving me an honest diagnosis always. I appreciated you keeping the truck to continue to assess the situation. Thank you for the beautiful detailing on the truck and removing the calcium deposits all over the windows and body, and the waxing and interior cleaning. What a transformation!! It looked like a brand new vehicle. My husband is very happy I got it done, so thank you for the suggestion, and for the fabulous work put forth. Dave, you have an awesome crew working for you and I am always grateful for all that you and Zoie do to serve your clients and for keeping our cars running smoothly. We love Hillside!!!"

"I have been getting my cars fixed here for years and have never had a problem. The staff is service oriented and will do whatever it takes to help the customer. The owner, Dave Carney, is a wonderful man himself. If you take your car in early you will have the chance to have some homemade treats made by his wife in the office. Wonderful service, and I would recomend this to anyone. Best service in town!"

"For 4 years, since I bought my car at Santa Monica Subaru, I've been taking it there for service, i.e., per their maintenance schedule. Recently, SM Subaru shut down without warning, leaving me high and dry, not cool. But....as it turns out, it was a blessing in disguise. A Yelp search brought me to Hillside Automotive. I read that they've been voted South Bay's Best Auto Repair Shop.....3 years in a row! Wow. And it's a 10-15 minute drive from my home, as opposed to going all the way to SaMo. Life is good! hahaha So yesterday I met Dave Carney, the owner (see photos). My car needed brakes (I kinda knew that) and Dave explained all about brakes to me, all the technical stuff I never knew. I ate muffins in the waiting room, that had been baked by his wife, as my car's condition was assessed.....and that waiting area is as cute as the previous reviewer described (see photos). The ladies room....just as cute! Haha, I took a picture of it. As I was waiting, I opted to move outside with my book, to the patio under a vine-covered trellis, next to the sweetly-landscaped rock garden/fountain. How peaceful & lovely. Most impressive was the thoughtful care that went into assuring the customer's comfort. Much appreciated by me, and all too rare these days. I cannot say enough good stuff about the efficiency & friendliness & personal attention I received at Hillside Auto. My car needed attention in a few areas, as it turned out, and I knew I was in good hands. It's another Yelp success story. I decided to rent a car, as my car had to remain overnight. Enterprise will be my next review, haha! And I was delighted to get a call from the repair shop at 10am this morning to tell me my car was all ready! I was shocked they had done the job so quickly. They told me they were aware I had a car rental and had tried to keep it within the one-day time limit! Where you gonna find service like that?! So I picked up my car ahead of schedule. It was all clean, they had washed it! (An"

"I needed to replace my brakes light and looked through local auto service places. Hillside Auto Repair was open, so I called and explained my situation. Sam was very helpful and said he would try to get it done today so I drove it over and walked home. The service was very fast professional, knowledgeable, honest, fast, and friendly service, I'm completely satisfied with my experience."

"Hillside Auto Repair was amazing with my family and me. I am in the process of relocating to California from Texas and we only have one car. My bearing, breaks, and air conditioning were faulty and Sam was kind enough to provide me a loaner while the shop repaired my vehicle. Sam was kind, concerned, and really took care of us! I will definitely take my cars there from now on."

"This shop was great! Sam is so helpful! I was thinking of buying a car from hertz and had it inspected there. Sam went out of his way to help me be informed about what repairs the car might need and was incredibly supportive and helpful above and beyond. Plus it’s very pleasant to stay there - flowers and fountains. Highly recommend it!"

"LUCKY US---a neighborhood auto repair ------that is HONEST!!! Have gone here for over 10 years and can always count on the Carney family to be dependable .MIKE is the ANGEL of the HILLSIDE.He always goes the EXTRA MILE no matter how old the car is! Even finds hard to get PARTS.LOOK no FURTHER for repairs----Hillside is ------THE BEST !!"

"Sam walked my daughter and I through everything that was needed for the car we were taking on a trip out of town. He checked everything and made sure car was safe for us, this gave me much needed peace of mind, as he found cracks in the drive belt that could have caused us to be stranded if it failed. He is competitively priced and genuinely cares about his customers. I would definitely return. Thank you Sam!"

"I went through a traumatic experience of losing a tire on the freeway due to ANOTHER AUTO SHOPS negligence. Sam and the Hillside Auto team really stepped up and made me feel like a person and a kept me informed every step of the way. This type of service is extremely hard to find and Hillside’s service is like nothing I have ever experienced. They have made a customer for life! Thank you Sam and the Hillside Auto Team! P.S. free car wash !!! These guys are awesome and car looks and rides great!!"

"Sam was incredibly hospitable the moment I stepped into Hillside Auto Shop. He offered me coffee and snacks and took the time to thoroughly explain the process of inspecting my vehicle. I got messages every step of the way explaining what was found on my vehicle with pictures and videos included . It was very obvious they cared about my experience and were never pushy about what they thought needed to be done. All in all it was a very pleasant experience and I can't recommend this repair shop enough!"

"Sam and the hillside gang are top notch... been taking my car to south bay ford since I bought it new... ford overcharged, and didn’t keep up on the maintenance, not to mention a $600 repair that never fixed the problem... met Sam and the gang... got my car which was on its last leg running again... found issues ford themselves never addressed... LITERALLY, THE CAR IS NOW RUNNING N FEELING LIKE NEW!!! Thanks Hillside!!! I won’t take my car anywhere else!!!!"

"This location was recommended by a AAA tow guy, who was great in his service, so I thought to check it out. Not only was the location clean & close to my house, but Sam was helpful from beginning to end. They are upfront & professional. Plus they didnt give me the feeling of "everything has to be repaired NOW" as the dealer normally might. I will return to them for any future repairs/maintenance, and would recommend their service to anyone."

"Being the busy mother of an autistic kid when I had the engine light in my car come on I kind of dreaded having to take it in to be looked up because often it means hanging around waiting and not getting much done elsewhere, however, when I came across Hillside auto Sam was extremely helpful and considerate of my situation. They checked to see what was up with my car immediately so that I had options of when to bring it in for repair. Once the issue was diagnosed Sam went out of his way to check and see if it was under warranty by Honda, he called around a couple of dealerships them let me know to take it in as he had already spoken to them. I couldn't have imagined a kinder gesture all done in the name of compassion and exceptional costumer service. This place is definitely my go to as I feel very secure in knowing they will look after me. Thank you Sam!"

"I Need at least 5 more stars to do justice to the customer service i received! The minute I stopped by for a flat tire fix, the staff rushed to my help, started working on my car immediately and offered coffee in waiting room. in less than 10 minutes my car was fixed at NO CHARGE FOR FLAT TIRE FIX!!!!!!! I was so impressed! the least I could do to show my appreciation was a gas fill up, which I will be doing every time I pass by. The employees could not say enough about the owner-Dave Carney-and how well he takes care of his employees. World needs more people like him!"

"Let me start by saying I rarely write reviews but felt compelled to do so with my experience at Hillside Auto.There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe my encounter.I felt like a world-famous celebrity with the "concierge"service I received.This would include VERY fair pricing,accommodating my busy schedule to fit me into their busy work load,driving me home since they needed 5 hr to complete the job and even..wait for it..delivering my car to me and calling Uber to take the driver back to work.All of the delivery services were "no charge"but I took care of the driver with $$$'s.If you're considering auto repairs in the South Bay..you couldn't possibly do better than Hillside Auto. Michael S,MD"

"Hillside Auto Repair is an example of how a business should be run Dave has a very simple business model and it works !!! Respect the customer ,Charge a fair price and Stand behind your work. The entire team follows this mission statement and to verify this all you have to do is take a seat in the clean and comfortable waiting area and listen to reports and exchanges between the service advisors and customers when they come to pickup their cars. As a tradesman I can appreciate the clean and organized service bays . The garage lead is great she keeps the advisors status on all the work going in the bays so the techs don't have to be interrupted which in turn allows for good production. No one likes car problems but if you have them it is nice to know you can to take your car to someone you can trust. I have to give special credit to David for being so kind and understanding to my wife in dealing with her late Fathers car, it was a stressful situation and he demonstrated complete professionalism in explaining that it was time to donate the car . For this act of compassion I must single him out for a special THANK YOU!!!"

"Dave and Mike are a class act! I showed up at their shop at 4:00 on a Monday and they were still happy to squeeze me in and help me out. Their techs quickly diagnosed my problem and referred me to a transmission shop close by. They even called the transmission shop to tell them I was coming. This is the kind of service that no one expects anymore when trying to find a good mechanic and I will only come here from now on. I can't say enough about how professional and helpful this shop is. They didn't make even a dollar off of me but still treated me like I spent a million."

"I went to Hillside because it is near my work, and they serviced hybrid vehicles. David treated me like I had been going to them for years. He was professional, knowledgeable and easy to deal with. Not only did they offer to take me back at work after I dropped off my car, they sent me a text when my car was done. I even came back to a freshly washed vehicle. They took what is usually a tedious process and made it extremely easy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend them for any vehicle work."

"I can't say enough about Hillside's great service! Basing my decision to go there because of Yelp and Next Door recommendations, I found the staff to be as described--very friendly and courteous, and their work thorough and professional. David explained every aspect of the recommended services based on my service record history in terms I was able to comprehend. My Lexus is running great and freshly washed! Also a shout out to Morgan who was my delightful chauffeur to and from the shop. We will not hesitate to trust Hillside as our #1 auto repair shop!"

"I came to Hillside with bad news on my prius car battery. As anew customer they received me with so much kindness waiving first visit fees completely and breaking down the options of what and how they could assist. I was so thankful with their service. I needed to head to work as they ran diagnostics on my car and the owner himself was gracious enough to take me to work. When I got back to decide what to do, I decided to hold off (on their great pricing compared to the options with Toyota) and hope that the Toyota might come through with an almost free option. When I got in my car it was completely vacuumed and wiped down. Just completely amazed by the kindness, the explanations I received from David and the great service."

"Fair prices, great owner focused on customer service. One experience is very memorable. My son's team from UC Santa Cruz lacrosse was playing an exhibition game here and one of his team mate's car broke down. Dave Carney went out of his way to help out, get the vehicle repaired on the boys on their way back to school. I know it was a pain for him to make it happen, but he did. His staff is great. Couldn't ask for a better facility"

"I wish all businesses were run like Hillside. I've been twice for my 2007 Nissan XTerra. Once for a fan noise (it was hitting something on morning startups only and took a few attempts to reproduce) and then for a failing ignition coil and 90K tuneup. I've been very happy with the level of customer service, from both Dave and David and Carle or Charlie? Bad with names. They were very good at explaining the cause of the problem. The car has been running great since then and I couldn't be happier. I also love how close they are to my house. Great sense of humor and good people. I will definitely be coming here in the future."

"So far so good! I pass by Hillside everyday. My usual mechanic started to get lazy. Everyone who knows me is aware that Chuck/my 2003 Ford Ranger truck is my baby. So the moment the other mechanic told me that there is going to be a lot of work that is going to be done, it was time for me to find my baby a new doctor for yearly maintenance. Mechanics are in the profession to repair and fix cars right? I've been taking of Chuck for years and even though he's a senior citizen, he's a great truck! He's over 222,000 miles and 13 years old. Old Chuck is still going and he's getting better fairly soon so we can both go up to Mammoth and play throughout all 4 seasons. Dave put him through a good and thorough physical and check up. We put Chuck on a good health plan and he filled out a prescription sheet. Everything I expected was on the medical record and all within my expected budget with labor and tax. My favorite part is that he called and emailed me to notify me of Chuck's status. EMAILED ME!!! Yeah! So, Phase 1 for check up is a Check mark, Phase 2 and 3 to get him new boots (tires) and inhalers for his asthma is coming up next. I can't wait to update everyone on how things go. Ladies, it felt so good to go in, get things taken care of, have my coffee, answer some emails and be assured that both Chuck and I will be taken care of. Stay tuned for the updates. - LelaLilo"

"We've had our car repaired several times at Hillside, and every time has been a great experience. What finally led us to write a review for Yelp was what happened this week. Our car died - leaking fuel everywhere. After having it towed to Hillside, Mike and the crew let us know it really wasn't worth fixing. They went out of their way to help us, and we appreciated their honesty and kindness. Highly recommended!!"

"I use Hillside Automotive Repair on a regular basis to service my business and personal vehicles. As a small business owner it is important that my vehicles are in proper working order at all times. Today I went in for an oil change and they found a brake light wiring issue that they fixed promptly. Every time I have used their services I was treated with respect and honesty by their service technicians Andre and Mike. I always feel as if they have my vehicles safety and performance #1 on there priority list. Whenever a friend or family member asks for a good mechanic I never hesitate to recommend Hillside Auto Repair."

"I am a new customer. I made my appointment on line. When I got there I was greeted by a guy named Mike. He had my paperwork ready. He explained the inspection that they would do, told me he would call me by 10:00am and he did. I needed brakes. I feel as though the prices are good and I got only what I needed and no extra stuff. I normally do not do reviews but this place just seams special. I hung around for a few minutes before they gave me a ride to work and I watched other customers checking in. Once again I was impressed. The paperwork was already prepared for every customer that had an appointment. These are very nice people and I will return. Kevin D"

"Hillside, especially Mike, goes out of their way to take good care of my whole family. My son just purchased a used car and everyone has been so helpful in troubleshooting and repairing all the known problems as well as unknown problems we purchased along with the car. We can't thank you enough. Check engine light means "call Hillside". Thanks for continuing to take such good care of us and reassuring us all along the way."

"Hillside Auto is a gem on the hill! We have an older car and have been a few times for repairs we're always given a detailed explanation, options and very reasonable pricing (always lower than a dealer) Sam, our technician, takes his time to make sure we are confident in the next steps. His honesty and integrity will keep us coming back for many years to come, thank you Sam! - Adam and Katie"

"I had previously brought my 2003 Toyota Tacoma in last year for a fuel system problem. The work was done and was happy with the results. I just brought my daughters 2012 Ford Focus in for the 30,000 mile service. Again, was happy with the work, the cleanliness of the vehicle on return, and the cost. David, the service advisor, was very courteous and helpful. Would not hesitate to recommend."

"I just had my car serviced at Hillside and they were excellent. They know the meaning of customer service. They even washed my car at no extra charge! That is going above and beyond expectations. I will be using Hillside in the future for any and all car care needs. Thumbs up to Mike and the entire staff."

"Amazing customer service! Sam was very helpful, honest, and got everything done the day I brought it in. Very pleased with the transparency, and everything worked out so smoothly. Also, Sam made sure I had a ride to and from the shop to pick up my car. Definitely would recommend Hillside to everyone!"

"If you take your car to Hillside Auto Repair, talk to Mike. He really seems to be interested in finding out what's wrong with your car and fixing it. He is also scrupulously fair when it comes to billing billing---if he tries something and it doesn't work, you don't pay! I will have no hesitation in going back to Hillside when I need a repair that is not covered under warranty."

"I took my 07 Camry into Hillside last week and they were great. Recharge my A/C and added a dye so if it leaks in future, the location can be detected. They even cleaned my car. Unexpected bonus: they found what my long lost eyeglasses case! For the sake of full disclosure: they are a client of mine, but even if they weren't, I'd still take my car to Hillside. Mike was great."

"If you’re looking for a trustworthy shop with extremely kind, knowledgeable mechanics, this is your place! Never have I felt in such good hands or at such ease when taking my car anywhere. I wouldn’t trust taking it anywhere else. Sam is the absolute BEST!! Forever grateful that I found Hillside!"

"As usual service was excellent I tell everyone the best place to get your auto taken care of is at Hillside. Everything is explained to you and you don't feel as if you are being pushed to do repairs that are not necessary. Many thanks to Mike and the rest of the staff for the great work they do."

"Great customer service. Sam was professional and took care of what needed to be done. Wasnt the cheapest in town but you get what you pay for. I believe it to be quality work and the turnaround just for my car was same day. My car was towed to the shop dou to no start, and got a call 4:30pm that it was fixed and running after replacing bad fuel pump. I recommend this shop."

"Very impressed with everyone from Morgan who answered the phone to the owner to David who oversaw my car's repairs. I appreciated David's honesty when he told me that if I were planning on trading in the car soon, then it wasn't worth repairing. However, since we want to drive our van at least another 3 years, we went ahead with the repairs. "Vanessa" is driving great now!"

"As always, Mike and crew did a superb job servicing my car. It's always a nice experience to go to Hillside Auto because everyone is so nice and friendly. More importantly, you always know your car will be properly serviced and cleaned. In addition, the price is always fair which is something you can't say for all repair shops. What more can one ask. Thank you gentlemen!"

"Customer for 20 years Hillside and the Carney family of employees NEVER DISAPPOINT. Car needed window and lock repairs and Mike spent 3 weeks trying to locate the replacement part for the door. Hillside ALWAYS GOES THE EXTRA MILE for their customers and it is ALWAYS SERVICE WITH A SMILE !!! IF you have a auto problem once you go to HILLSIDE you will have NO Problem !!"

"I give Hillside Auto the highest possible rating. The shop is clean and everyone there I spoke with was extremely courteous and professional. The owner of the shop, Dave, even gave me a ride to work in Redondo Beach.The work done on my car was top notch, and the price was fair. If you are looking for a no pressure shop that you can be confident with, Hillside is it."

"I brought my car in for brakes and detail work, i must say i was very pleased with the price i was charged and appriciated the friendly warm atmospher while waiting you are offered coffee and fresh baked goods...Honestly we need more of these kind of places around...Thanks Dave you and your team are the best in my book:)"

"Mr & Mrs. Carney are very nice people. STAFFS are very friendly and accommodating. Definitely would recommend this place especially for people w/hybrid cars and ofcourse the regular one's too. Pls look read the southbay coupons the ones that we receive in the mail coz sometimes they give free battery checkup. Keep up the good work and God bless your business."

"David is a fabulous and through service manager. I was so impressed with how helpful he was concerning the problem with my car. He went to great lengths to try and figure out what was causing the trouble while all of the workers were efficient and quite helpful. Its always a joy to deal with a business that stands behind their work and we stand behind them!"

"Another outstanding job by the guys at Hillside. A personal emergency required us to ask them to deliver the vehicle some distance from our residence which they did without hesitation. Mike wished us a quick recovery. You just don't get that kind of service anymore. They are definitely our "go-to-repair shop"."

"Dave Carney's Hillside Automotive is ethical, honest, & trustworthy. Dave always follows up with a personal phone call to make sure everything is OK. I highly recommend this wonderful family owned local business."

"EXCELLENT!!! Felt Like ROYALTY. Treated with respect, warmth and consideration which is more important that just getting the car 'fixed'. But, they DID THAT EXCEPTIONALLY WELL AND FAST, TOO!!! (...and I'm NOT Broke!) Thank you, Hillside Auto (Andres, Mike, Zoie, Dave... and everyone.)"

"I miss Michael but new manager, Sam, is an excellent choice. He is friendly, efficient and very customer oriented. Best part is knowing I can trust Hillside. I was worried when Dave left but seems new owners are following with his policies."

"Wonderful, stand up gentlemen run this business. Sam was incredibly helpful at getting me in quickly, I had a lovely wait in the terrace area, and the mechanics fixed my issue very quickly. Plus the prices are incredibly fair! I haven’t had a more pleasant experience at an auto shop ever before. I will be coming back!"

"I'd give Hillside Auto Repair in Torrance more than 5 stars if I was able to. I bought a used car and they made sure it is in excellent running condition and even cleaned it for me. Mike was friendly and courteous. I'd definitely will continue to bring my vehicles to Hillside."

"Thank you Mike, Andre, and the rest of your team of technicians. As usual you provided excellent service in a very pleasant environment. The explanations of the services provided were excellent and the work was done in a timely fashion."

"So glad you specialize in hybrid vehicles! No other shop would take my 2013 Prius in. Outstanding customer service and highly recommend to everyone! Sam, you're the best!!! Thank-you so much."

"Sam is amazing! This place was amazing. Came in with an air conditioning situation and he knew right away how to help me. Even got me a ride to work! Even washed my car! What an impressive experience! Only coming here from now on!"

"Always helpful and informative. I decided to wait for the van to be serviced. Brought a book to read. Instead I had a delightful conversation with Dave's wife, Zoie. It always feels like we have known each other for years. Before I knew it, my van was ready. Nice way to spend a hour. Thank you, Zoie and Dave."

"I can’t even begin to say how happy we are with Sam and the incredible team at Hillside Auto! So hard to find good mechanics let alone incredible ones. I would even say they spoiled us. Take my money guys! And welcome to our family. You’re Misfits now too ❤️ My dad says you’re on his “A” Xmas list now”."

"Incredible service! I am still wow'ed by Mike, Mark, Charlie,Daniel and Zoe. Everyone was really wonderful. Thanks for fixing our minivan, getting it smogged (pass), washing it and filling it up with gas for me! You have no idea how much that helped. Oh, Zoe's scones are delicious!!! Two Thumbs Up!"

"BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN SOUTH BAY ...FAIR PRICES AND QUALITY WORK. DAVE CARNEY DOES EVERYTHING RIGHT AND THAT IS WHY HE IS SO SUCCESSFUL IN BUSINESS AND CUSTOMERS LIKE ME GO TO HIM FOR YEARS AND TELL ALL OUR FRIENDS ABOUT HIS SUPERB SERVICE AT HIS AUTO SHOP."

"Thank you Mike and Andre for always taking great care of our cars. My Honda drives great!!! I appreciate the great service always. It always looks so beautiful when I receive it back. Thank you Dave and Zoey, for all your hard work in running this beautful place and for the wonderful service!!!"

"As always, courteous, prompt service. Mike told me the problem I asked about that needed repair was probably still under warranty. Sure enough it is, saving me some money by sending me to the dealer for repair. My husband is ill, so it's good to have someone taking care of my car needs."

"Hillside Auto is my go to! I never go anywhere else for my car. They always diagnose any problem I have without any further issues saving me time and money. David especially always goes above and beyond to make sure I leave completely satisfied."

"We've been taking our cars to Hillside for years, and they are always honest, professional, and helpful. Dave and his team are great people and we are so glad to have their help when our cars need attention. Thanks so much for everything Dave!!"

"I'm here now for my regular check up visit. Service amazing. Personnel could not be more friendly. Guaranteed and trustworthy in their work. A customer 21 years! Dave, Zoei, Mike, David, and Staff BRAVO."

"As always, excellent service. Andre was efficient at the front desk and George is always pleasant and fun when he gives me a ride home. Driving away in a clean car always makes it seem to run better. Delicious cookies and fun magazines too."

"Mike and Andre were attentive, and my service was done promptly. Andre did a good job of explaining other services that I will have done, why and about how they will take so I can plan my schedule. And in this heat, the pleasant air conditioned waiting room was a nice respite."

"The service was great. The Shop is clean and everyone is always so friendly. George was an excellent driver and very friendly. The car was ready on time as promised and everything checked out fine.Thank you very much! See you next time."

"I had a dead car. Thought it was the battery but couldn't be sure. After jump starting it I drove it down and Mike took good care of me. In addition to needing a new battery he checked everything else also. Excellent service as always."

"This was my first time to Hillside. Great friendly and courteous service. David does a outstanding job explaining everything. Their email with photos and descriptions prior from the diagnosis prior to starting repairs is very useful."

"I got to visit with the boss, Dave, whom I had not seen in a while. Left my car to have breakfast at Black Bear and read my morning paper. My morning walk taken care of, I returned to a spotless car and a bill well short of the dealer cost. A couple of hours well spent."

"Sam was amazing. My service was above and beyond. I am so grateful to Hillside Auto for taking the stress of auto repair off of me. I could not be happier from the service I received today!"

"Great experience at Hillside Auto Repair! Amazing customer service (Thanks Sam!), professional and timely updates and the brake job was done!!! I will be using them as my car's service provider from now on. So glad I found them!"

"I took my daughter’s 2003 Chrysler in for a diagnostic test. The evaluation was thorough. We walked away with a complete report on the condition of the car. Sam was wonderful to work with and treated us with respect. I can not recommended Hillside Auto Repair enough!"

"HILLSIDE the VERY BEST! NOTHING is impossible for Dave Carney and his BAND OF " MECANICAL MERRY MEN" You will NEVER REGRET dealing with Hillside! Be sure to ask for Michael---he ALWAYS goes the EXTRA MILE to serve the customer."

"The communication between Sam and other Hillside workers is very good. Sam explained the problems with my son’s car and the cost to fix it. My son was lucky to get a loan car because his car took a week to fix. I will return to Hillside for future car repairs."

"Got towed in after my alternator went out. They had my car repaired within a couple hours, and at a reasonable cost. Could tell by Sam’s interactions with other customers, and with me, that this is a reputable business. Will look to them for any future repairs"

"Great service and such friendly staff. Had my sons car worked on and he is so happy! Wonderful service by Andre, he even asked if I had any other concerns other than what I came in for, and checked them out as well. Charlie always does a great job! Thank you:)"

"Sam and everyone at Hillside is great. Very honest, reliable, friendly service. Prices are fair. Excellent quality of work. It's now my "go to" for all auto servicing and repairs."

"Went to hillside auto to get my Prius checked out. Best experience ever. In and out in a flash! Sam was extremely helpful and courteous! Will definitely be recommending and coming back for any maintenance work!"

"Everything was taken care of as I asked. Mike is always so helpful. I waited for the van. The wait was very short. Didn't time it, but I had time to walk to the bagel shop and back. Enjoy a cup of coffee and the bagel. Thank you for your great staff."

"I've been taking my Toyota to Hillside Auto for several months now and am quite satisfed with their service and pricing. I never feel like they're trying to "pull one over me". Mike has always been very polite and patient in explaining things to me."

"Mike and Sam did a great job on complicated repairs in spite of difficulties receiving the correct parts in a timely manner from Lexus. Been using Hillside and wouldn’t go anywhere else...especially Lexus,"

"the service is always very good the work was completed on time and at a fair price. the car wash is an extra bonus. Hillside is the only auto repair business where the owner's Dave or his Wife Zoe shuttle back home (always good conversation)"

"My experience was 5 star. My car was ready earlier than promised, & at a fair price. I even got a complimentary rental car and car wash. Everyone was very polite and helpful, especially Mike and Sam. I would definitely recommend Hillside!"

"I have been a customer of Dave's for more than 12 years and will never go any place else. From Dave and Zoe (owners) to Mike in the office and the mechanics, you will never find a better place to take your car. Thanks to all of you.Joan A"

"Had a couple items that needed tending to finalize a complete front and rear brake job.... no hassles and Charlie took care of business! This place clearly wants its customers satisfied. A rare find in today’s “it’s all about me” world."

"So happy with the consistent, high quality service I receive at hillside. Special shoutout to my go-to guy Sam! He’s always incredibly thorough, helpful and always gets back to me immediately. I couldn’t ask for a better experience."
