One of the first questions new customers ask us: "Do you work on my car?" The answer, almost always, is yes. Hillside Auto Repair is an all-makes shop - American, Asian, and European, gas, hybrid, and everything between - with specialist depth in the makes that need it most. One shop for the whole driveway, since 1984.
American
Detroit iron to modern trucks.
Asian
The reliability workhorses - hybrids included.
European
Dealer-level care without the dealership.
Torrance, since 1984Dealer-level care, for every badge
Every make page above is backed by the same promise: dealership-level diagnostic equipment and know-how, independent-shop prices, and a person who answers the phone. If your car is still under factory warranty, servicing it here keeps that warranty intact - the law is on your side, and our documentation makes it airtight. Dealer-grade care, without the dealer-grade wait.
The Hybrid SpecialistsHybrids? We speak the language
Hybrids are a genuine specialty here - it is on our sign out front: The Hybrid Specialists. From the Prius that started it all to hybrid Camrys, Accords, and Lexus models, our technicians are trained on high-voltage systems, hybrid braking, and battery health. Start at hybrid repair.
Kia and Hyundai hybrid systems are the exception: we don't have the proprietary diagnostic software they require.
We service it, A to Z
Whatever the badge, that means the whole job - not just the easy half.
01 Parts access
OE and quality aftermarket parts for your make.
02 Factory schedule
Your manufacturer's service schedule followed exactly, service-reminder system and all - see how we handle car maintenance.
03 Make-aware diagnostics
A BMW does not report problems the way a Ford does, so we diagnose the way your make thinks - every repair under the same 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty.
Don't see your make?
Bring it anyway. Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Saturn, Isuzu, Suzuki - discontinued doesn't mean unserviceable. If it rolls and it's road-legal, call (310) 373-7676(310) 373-7676request a callback during staffed hours and ask.
