Hilltop Automotive & Performance Reviews

WOW! What FANTASTIC service. The staff at Hilltop went above and beyond and I can’t thank them enough. Would give them 5×5 starts if I could. Highly recommend.

Nico has serviced my vehicles for several years. He is an extremely competent mechanic who is eager to be of service and consistently takes pride in his work.

Great service! Respected my doctors schedule and fixed car quickly.., also provided transportation via Veronica who was very delightful to work with,

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 happened to find Hilltop a few years ago when I needed a smog check. I’ve been a regular customer since. Very high quality service. Very nice staff. Nico is great.

Pleasant experience with courteous reception. Job was done with results as expected. I would certainly use Hilltop Automotive & Performance again.

Number one Honest! Family owned . Uses best parts and oils.

Professional, up front with prices. No pressure but will give you a list of any future repairs in order of importance. A comfortable environment to do business. Veronica is a sweetheart.

Smooth as silk. Excellent service and a wonderful lady who helped me with my calibration. She was all smiles and cheerful. Thank you so much.
