Hills Automotive & Driveline Service

I have recently retired due to an unfortunate medical condition and it has left me totally dependent on others to address any automotive repairs I have. It is an uncomfortable position to say the least, with that being said I have an older Dodge pickup that I depend on for transportation to very important DR . Visits and treatments . I took my vehicle to John and placed my trust in his services. I could not be any happier, the first visit for repair John took the problem on without hesitation and performed the repair perfectly. Which is why I will definitely return with any and all auto repairs Price was very fair, he kept me informed along the way so there was no “surprises” which is awesome! I would definitely recommend Hills Automotive for all vehicle repair. Thank you Hills automotive and Thank you John!

Thank you John and Helix for finding the issue, ordering in parts, problem solving and fixing her up getting us on our way back home. We couldn’t have picked a better place to be towed to!

Brought my Ford Ranger in there three times for the same thing never fixed it charge me all three times still doing the same thing. I’ve only put 100 miles on it and the last five months just sitting there broken. Decided I’m gonna take it somewhere else and take the loss. Worst experience ever.

It’s funny how a business can change their website and then all of the negative reviews go away. So since my review of Hill’s Automotive went away when they changed their website, I decided to re-post it on google. In 2019, I got my 1999 Ford Explorer Sport stuck in the snow. After it was pulled out, the engine seemed to be running really rough and sounded terrible. Check engine light was NOT on. I took it to Hill’s Automotive to get checked out. I had been a customer of Hill’s Automotive for several years and had always been happy with their work and the cost. But I was worried this time because I had lost my job and was having a hard time finding a new one. So didn’t have much money. The owners of Hill’s knew this about me because they were clients where I used to work. Anyway, after examining my car I got a phone call from John Hill, one of the owners, to come to the shop to talk. When I got there, he said that my 1999 Ford Explorer Sport needed a whole new engine and that it would be very costly. (I don’t remember how much he told me). He then said that because it was a fairly rare SUV, (I don’t think he meant to say that part), he would buy it from me for $400. And would then just part it out. I trusted him and his mom (who co-owns the business), so I believed what he told me and sold it to him. Several months later, I happened to drive past their shop and their was my Ford Explorer for sale for $2500. I wonder if there was anything at all, really wrong with it. Also, I own a 1999 Camaro Z28. In the last year that I was taking my car to them, it seemed like more things went wrong with it after every time I took it in to be serviced by them. The last time I took it to them, John told me that it needed a lot of work. But his mom told me to “not ever sell it”. Which I thought was weird at the time. About 4 months later an unknown man shows up at my house, saying that he was just driving by and saw my Camaro (which was parked at the side of my house, far back from the road) and he wanted to know if I wanted to sell it. He told me he had just graduated from high school and had always wanted a Camaro. I let him look at it and we exchanged phone numbers. I was suspicious because he looked older than 18 and you can’t really see my car from the road. So I searched his phone number and found that he was somebody who bought cars, fixed them up and sold them on eBay. And that he was much older than 18. I have no proof, but I suspect that someone from Hill’s Automotive told him about my car. Don’t go to Hill’s Automotive. Don’t trust them.

John at Hills Automotive did a terrific job replacing the drive shaft in my 14-year-old, all-wheel drive car. He was able to locate the parts needed and schedule the work within a week. I dropped off the car in the morning, John completed the work, and I was able to drive it way by mid-afternoon. His bill was over $400 less than the dealership's quoted price. John was recommended to me by a career professional in the auto parts business. Now I can agree and pass along the recommendation.
