I've been here a few times, just had a smog test on my older Jeep. There is something pleasantly different about this place than most car places than I have been to over the years. I am not sure if I can describe it but I always feel like they know what they are doing and they are on the same side of things that you are.

This place deserves no stars! It sucks! First, it took 1/2 hr to check in with no one in front of us. Check-in girl was busy talking about everything under the sun.They called saying the car was ready. When we arrived we were informed the parts had not arrived. Then, they said there was an oil gasket leak. They were informed of this when we arrived. Major reason we took the car in. AAA approved, what s flipping joke! We give this business an F -!!!!!!!? Run and run faster!Beth B.

After looking at old negative reviews from 2017-2020, I have to say, Hilltop is not the same place it was. After my previous mechanic closed his shop over a year ago, Hilltop was recommended as a replacement. I have taken my car for service and/or repairs three times since changing and the service has been excellent each time. Nicolas (Nico) is very personable and knows customer service. There is no upselling, and the service is done promptly and efficiently. I will continue to take my vehicle to Hilltop without hesitation, and would recommend them if you're looking for a new mechanic.

Do not bring your car here! They do not care about your car and charge an absurd amount to fix. Brought my dodge charger in since it broke down, after about 30 minutes they called me saying I needed a new engine and when I asked if they looked at the codes they replied no not yet. How are you going to tell me I need a new engine if you haven't even fully diagnosed the issue. After that I told them to open the motor up which they did, all they did was take off the timing cover and discovered that the guides to the timing chain were broken and I had bent valves. They were really pushy on getting an engine so they could push my car out of the way. If I'm going to spend money on a new engine I don't want to be rushed. They quoted me $8500 for a new engine/labor. After I declined more work I payed almost $1000 for them to not even fix anything. While i waited for the tow truck to pick up my car they left the timing cover off AND THEY DIDNT EVEN DRAIN THE OIL!!!!!!. So now i had to deal with an open motor spilling oil everywhere cus this "shop" couldnt even drain the oil, a simple thing needed when opening the motor. They left my alternator hanging by the wiring harness so when I opened to hood the alternator sparked as the entire weight of the alternator was pulling on the wires connected to it. The interior of my car had black marks on my red leather seats and the steering wheel so I doubt they even put plastic covers to prevent that. If you value your time and your car and want a professional job done the proper way to your car, DO NOT BRING IT HERE THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY!!!!Service: Auto engine diagnostic

My truck was overheating. Gave them a call and they said they would have a look. Had truck towed there. They diagnosed and found the radiator cap was not keeping good pressure. Truck was ready same day. Will definitely recommend to everyone. Not expensive at all, fast, and fair.

Best mechanic I’ve found in the desert. He was quickly able to diagnose the issue, got the part and performed the service more quickly than I could get a callback from the average mechanic shop. I highly recommend Nico and will be using his services again. Thank you.Service: Steering & suspension repair
