Hillside Autohaus

I decided it was finally the day to get an oil change and found this place on Unilocal.I stopped in for an oil change and mentioned that I may want to make an appointment for a brake job next week. Oscar and his team were awesome! Within 5 minutes, they confirmed that I indeed need new rotors and brake pads and he said they could do it in 2 hours for and AWESOME price. Quan gave me a ride to and from home as well, so I didn’t have to wait at the shop! They were super professional and very nice! I will definitely go back anytime we need a car serviced!

Everytime I come here the workers are pleasant and nice to talk to. I called last minute to get an oil change after being denied by other oil change places. The lady on the phone checked to see if there was a lift available and she said come in right now. What a life saver. Having one day off a week and trying to squeeze errands in is real hard. This is the second time they were able to help me or. Guess I know where I’ll be coming in a every 3 months for an oil change. Billy the mechanic told me that there were things I needed to get fixed on my car. Nothing serious but something I should look into to change. Thank you Billy for helping me out and being on top of things.

I Unilocaled this place and finally took my car here for an oil change and to get my tire checked out. The online appointment process is simple and easy; you just need your basic car info (make, model, mileage).
They gave me a time window for my appointment and I showed up a little after noon on a Saturday. Billy was finishing up with a customer and took my car shortly after. I waited for about 30 minutes or so.
For $ 35, my oil was changed, they took care of my tire issue, calibrated the tire pressures, inspected the brakes, and topped off the fluids. I didn’t expect much so it was nice that they did all that!
Billy was super courteous to me and his employee. They never tried to sell me anything unnecessary, which I appreciated.
I’m definitely going to keep this place in mind for my car maintenance!

Excellent service! I trust this place and not going anywhere else for my Range Rover sport.

They deserve 6 stars.
I was in SF and my car started to chug. Called a few places and they said it would either be several days or they would charge a hefty diagnostic fee. I called Hillside and they said bring it by, we’ll diagnose it for free.
Showed up, within 5 minutes they plugged into my computer and found the problem. Throttle position sensor went bad. I had an interview in San Diego the next day and they personally went to the supplier to pick up the part.
Charged for the part fee and half hour of service, even though it ended up being more than that, $ 120 dollars for taking my car from undriveable to perfect condition.
This is also sort of intangible, but I got an overwhelming sense of honesty from them and openness. For example, when they plugged in the diagnostic computer, the mechanic actually showed me what the codes were, instead of just having me wait and then tell me. The mass air flow sensor also was having problems, but he said that could wait until after I got back from my interview. Just in case, they cleaned out my mass air flow sensor And said they’d plug in their computer to see if it was still giving me problems (they actually did this bc I heard the compressed air going off when they were blowing it out). Total time at the shop was about 4 hours and I can’t imagine it going any smoother than it did.
Tl;dr my car was shot, they fixed it for $ 120 when I was in a time crunch, involved me in the decision process, we’re open and honest, didn’t try to upsell, and kept to their quoted price even though the labor was longer than anticipated. Perfect mechanic.

Went in one morning to have the team here install a cat lock on the new truck. The owner Bill and his mechanic Kyle made some recommendations to my truck and may have saved me a lot of trouble and money in the long run. Fantastic customer service and genuine personalities from Bill and Kyle. Keep up the great work guys!

I live in Santa Cruz and my car broke down on the way to Pacifica. I found Hillside Autohaus on Unilocal and they were able to take my car on a Saturday.
Bill was super nice and even dealt with VW corporate to try and get my car repaired with the least amount of cost. He really went out of his way and beyond to repair my vehicle quickly and with quality parts. Their labor rates are fair and their customer service is above and beyond. I really recommend these guys.
Thank You!

Been here a few times for oil changes and have no complaints. The very first time they accidentally put the wrong size oil filter on so I came back as they were closing. They were nice enough to drive to the store for a new one, clean up, and install it even after they closed.
It’s a good price for oil change/​check up at ~$ 24.99+ fees. The staff is super nice and you can tell they love the work they do, like Kyle with the big fro.

I had been putting off getting my oil changed. I finally had to do it, so I looked up placed on Unilocal,and this place had good reviews so I gave them a call. The receptionist was friendly and said they could see me right away. My daughter wanted to see how the oil change was done, and they let us watch part of the process and Kyle (happy birthday Kyle!) explained parts of the car to us.
Overall, a quick and efficient service. Very happy. We will be back!

Best place to go if you’ve got a German car. They fixed my car in less than a week, kept it under the quote and even discounted the labor. I was dealt with fairly and everything was explained in great detail. GO TO THESE GUYS OVER ANYONE ELSE IN DALY CITY. THEY’RE TRUSTWORTHY AND EFFECTIVE.

Wow Hillside Autohaus knows customer service. This business bent over backwards to order and install a new battery in my BMW within a matter of hours.
Kyle was even willing to drive to where i work to get the keys in order to get the job done.
Excellent service, fast turnaround and great outcome. I will be using Hillside in the future.

They’re fast and polite. OH and they take late and last min. appts. yay

Since moving from SF to South City/​Brisbane, Hillside Autohaus has been my black beauty’s maintenance shop. Unilocalers you have not failed me here. Bill, the shop owner, is a great guy and is only looking to keep his business thriving. This is clearly apparent in his excellent customer service and quality work.
I come here for my regular oil changes, maintenance work, and most recently had my wheel locks changed out (my vehicle was broken into with the wheel lock key stolen). The mechanic who initially installed the new wheel locks scratched up two of my wheels. I brought this concern to Bill. He took care of the scratches and replaced a logo wheel cap for free. I’ll be a returning customer.

Finally! A place I can trust! I was detoured to Hillside Autohaus when I realized our usual shop had closed. I dropped in and they took my car immediately. It is imperative this car is safe for my family and I, and I explained this to Bill. He totally understood and his priority was to make it safe. The price was unbeatable for the quality work that was provided. Not to mention everything is under warranty. Thank you Bill!

The guys at Hillside Autohaus were awesome! Fast, friendly and they charged me exactly what I was quoted. I just needed an oil change but the next time I need work done on my 16 year old Toyota you can be sure I will bring it here. They even fixed my hood that wasn’t closing properly at no charge. Excellent service!

Just stopped by to get an oil change. Was greeted taken care of within 20 minutes. The team also diagnosed showed me possible issues in the future that i should be aware of. These guys are good!

I drove all the way from SF per a friend’s suggestion on how great this place was. I definitely left without being disappointed! I drove the car in, and instantly got the service (a car battery replacement), and was out in no time at all! This definitely is a place where they care about the customer and not trying to get every single dollar out of every person.
I definitely won’t be going anywhere else from now on. This is the place!

I had my car towed there and they’re open on Sundays!!! Hooray!!!
Bill is Soooo nice and so genuine. We always had a family mechanic but he’s so far away. Its great to find a place so close to home and the people who work there are there to get what you need done, have your best interest at heart and are honest.
Bill totally handled it. He looked at my car and made a special ninja call for my parts and got it done in a day. He also gave me a discount because I was referred to his shop. When I picked up my car Bill wasn’t there and I was charged full price but didn’t make a big deal out of it. A few hours later he called me to tell me he owed me a refund on my discount he promised. That doesn’t happen… like ever these days…
I’m excited I found a place I can rely on and close to my house. My dad will be proud of me :0)

This place was reeeally great at getting me in quickly, ordering my oil filter super fast (although they might have just gotten it from another place nearby… «ordering» in 30 minutes seems odd…) and getting the job done in 30 minutes or less. I really appreciate the quick service because I was definitely not in the mood to deal with an oil change that morning.
TIP: If you go here– don’t plan on waiting… GET PICKED UP! That couch and waiting room smelled like the inside of dirty gym socks. There is also no where to really walk to get coffee or food… SO in general, the location kinda sucks. But when all you want is an affordable oil change, they definitely deliver.

Love this place!
Note to self… need to check if they fix motorcycles too.
Extremely friendly people and great prices… I trust these guys
