Great mechanic shop. I had an issue with my EGR valve, turns out my throttle body was clogged almost entirely in addition to my EGR valve issues. They took the initiative to clean it out and my truck is running even better than these last couple years. Great shop.

Been going here for 5 years for oil changes on my Mazda. Very fair priced and always an excellent job, my Mazda has never had an issue thanks to the care they give my car. Super nice service. This is the only shop I trust with my car.

I wish there were more places like Hill Top these days... they are knowledgable, price things fairly and clearly, give estimates up front, don't try to up-sell you ANYTHING you don't really need, and do the work well and on time. That's far too uncommon these days, but Hill Top is one of those rare auto service centers that does this and more.I bring my Acura NSX here from Saratoga... about 45 minutes away, because I really only want Don at Hill Top to work on it. He's known as an NSX expert, but more importantly, he's just an honest, talented mechanic for any vehicle (especially Hondas and Acuras).Don and wife Diana are a great team that deserves your business and will earn your trust and admiration.

My mom and I have been taking our CRV's to Don for years. The car she passed on to me is almost 15 years old and over 200k miles, it's still running strong. I believe partly due to the upkeep and service we get from this shop. Between the two of us we've probably had.. oil changes, brake replacements, spark plug change, starter repair, suspension work, general tune-up etc. Don always recommends things that he thinks the car absolutely needs not just to tally up a large total on a bill (also his prices are fair). He's an honest mechanic with a ton of experience on Hondas and Acuras (I think ex dealership mechanic?). You can tell purely by the quantity of NSX's which probably have a cult following, in the lot. It's a family business, Don and Diane want you in and out with a functional vehicle. Maybe that rubs people the wrong way but I would always recommend them.

Diane and Don run a great shop. They were both warm and transparent about what work I needed on my 2005 Acura TL ( valve job, spark plug replacement, and a broken intake tube). Car runs amazing now, thank you.

Make sure to call ahead, have a great time talking, and take your car in and have a great sigh of relief. I have no doubt that they'll be able to assist you as best as they can.

I returned to Hilltop auto after a good experience I had with them previously on brakes. I had an oil leak and visited a more formal Honda dealer mechanic; they told me the entire oil pump needed to be replaced for $1250+. Don used a tracer and found it was a worn gasket and took care of it for $260. Would highly recommend checking this shop out for a second opinion on any work if you live nearby.

Excellent Honda Acura repair shop. They only fix what needs to be done and not try to sell you more work.

Been going to the Acura dealership forever until it shut down. Closest Acura service in SF was trying to say I need all these things because it had almost 75k miles without even checking the car. It didn't feel right. Somehow I found this shop and I can't believe how much I've overpaid and been oversold services all these years. The team was honest and only did what was necessary instead of upselling. Very transparent. The owner has the same certifications as the dealership and maybe even more! I walked down to watch a movie to kill time and was done when I was back. Service was quick and easy. Definitely coming back.

Hill Top Auto Service saved me twice! The first time in March 2019 my 1994 Acura Legend wouldn't pass smog. I first took it to THE GARAGE on 10th street in San Francisco where I had been going for years. They racked up $900.00 in charges and it still didn't pass SMOG. Fortunately, someone at THE GARAGE told me about Hill Top Auto - said they were experts in servicing older Acuras. Sure enough, they figured out that one of the cylinders was misfiring, fixed the problem for a very reasonable price and ......my Legend passed SMOG with flying colors! The second time was earlier this month. My transmission stopped working on I-5 180 miles from San Francisco. I spent the night sleeping in my car. The next day I was able to contact my auto insurance and I had the Acura towed to Hill Top Auto. I thought the transmission was shot and I would have to junk or donate the car. They discovered a leak in the line connecting the transmission fluid reservoir to the transmission. They replaced the fluid and the line for $249.00! I had just assumed the transmission was shot. I had been in Mexico 6 days before the transmission conked out and banged the bottom of the car (loud bang) driving on a deeply rutted road. My mechanic thought this was the probable cause of the leak. Being towed back to SF for $600.00 saved my car! Had I had it towed to some local place - Coalinga to be exact - it probably would have been misdiagnosed, declared dead and I would have been stuck in the middle of nowhere. These guys at Hill Top Auto Service really know there stuff!
