Charlie's Hillside Auto Repair

My recent visit to Hillsideautorepair was a very pleasant stress reliving experience. The manager, Louie Ramirez, greeted me in a very professional manner. I explained my conundrum regarding my vehicle. Louie listened and understood and diagnosed the issues. This business has continually serviced our neighborhood with a family friendly approach. This is a very professionally operated local auto repair business.

I got tired of Carson Toyota ripping me off with expensive unnecessary repairs on my Prius. I gave this place a try and enjoyed the service. Their receptionist, Lydia, was extremely helpful and I had no pressure for “needed repairs.” Very reasonable. I will continue to use them in the future.

My parents have been taking their cars here for years and after my latest experiences I can see why. Last week went in for a minor issue and question which they resolved in 5 minutes - no charge. Today with a car in service they sent a thorough text with photos and videos detailing the major and minor issues with the car. Louie then consulted with me on what could and should not be deferred. Trustworthy, responsive, on time and on budget. This is an exceptional auto shop!

DO NOT GO HERE. I went here for an estimate and they took 48 hours just to look at my vehicle. I had come in with a diagnostic already done. However when I went to pick up my vehicle they tried to charge me for what I specifically asked them not to do. They will swindle you, take FOREVER and then try to act like then or internal communication is your fault.

I’ve been using Hillside for years, but today they showed me how amazing they are AGAIN. Took my Highlander in for weird squeaking noises from rearend when turning & going over bumps. Turned out to be loose spare tire! They tightened it up, put air on all my tires, and sent me on my way without paying anything. Thank you and happy new year!!!
