Use with caution I went to them for a quote on AC work and was advised that all charges would be explained and there would be a small charge to determine the problem. After it was explained the job would be $900+ I decided to get a second quote (which I did find a much cheaper mechanic), they charged me $170 for the diagnostic. I was very upset and asked why not explained prior to service. The mechanic told me that I would need to speak with manager next week. Very unhappy.

Diagnostic charge without warning I also got burnt by the diagnostic charge, after coming here with two different cars. Expensive, but trustworthy, I always thought before this. A charge without telling me beforehand was breach of faith.

good service Hillside has fixed my cars many times - and has done a good job. Their labor charges seem reasonable, and they are attentive to let you know what they need to do and whether it HAS to be fixed. I did have my brakes done last year, and I'm not totally thrilled with the results - so it will mean another trip to see them - but that's sort of the way things go once your car reaches 10 years old! I do respect Hillside and never feel like I'm getting ripped off there at all.

Over-priced Services! I brought my car in here when the "check engine" light came on. The quoted repair price at Hillside was almost 6 times the price I was quoted and ended up paying elsewhere. Even more, Hillside charged me a labor fee in addition to the diagnostic fee when I didn't even have any repair work done there. I am disgusted that I had to pay for labor when not only did I not authorize any work to be done on my car, but I am also aware that a diagnostic exam takes at the most 10 minutes. Most other places will no... read more
