Very helpful...came in with an unusual repair for our Mercedes and they checked to see if there was a recall issued first. Work was done quickly and Im very pleased. Have used them about 8 times so far and always pleased with their counter staff and work quality
After traveling over 3000 miles from Oregon to visit my father in law who was ill in MD. My Roadtrek 170 had a check engine light come on. I was scouring the local listings for a mechanic when a family member told me about Hillmuths of Gaithersburg. My father in law had taken his vehicles there over the years. I called and was able to take my van in the next morning. By 2:30 pm that same day, my van was up & running! The folks at Hillmuths took such great care of both my van & I. The morning mechanic who took the van in asked questions & was amazing at searching for answers before even doing a diagnostic on the van. When I picked the van up the gentleman working the front desk & the mechanic both came out & shared the information on my vehicles repairs. I was SO impressed by the service, personal care & follow up phone calls to ensure we arrived back on the West Coast safely. Wow! I have never experienced such thorough, caring & genuine service from a mechanic & service center before. I have shared my experience multiple times with many folks across the country. Always strongly recommending Hillmuth’s in Gaithersburg for any vehicle needs. Now, how can I convince you all to open a shop in Astoria, Oregon.Thank you Dan(mechanic) and everyone at Hillmuth’s in Gaithersburg! Five stars are not enough!
Tried other places and they were booked. Hillmuth took me with open arms, even the same day. Definitely got lucky and glad they worked with me. They are very cool and customer service is good.
As always, Hillmuth employees are friendly, professional, and helpful. I have tried other auto shops trying to save a few bucks on discounted oil changes, but I always come back. I know I can trust them and that means a great deal to me.
Ive been taking my Jeep here for years. The entire team is amazing and helpful. They really do care about their customers.
My experience at Hillmuth Gaithersburg was the best Ive encountered in a long time. Brandon, at the front desk, was very knowledgeable and helpful. He kept me informed on the progress of my repairs and provided a loaner car. The repairs on my engine have my vehicle driving smoothly. I plan to send all my friends and co-workers in the area to HIllmuths.
I drove to many authorized State Inspection Stations the week of 8/23/21. The outside temperature reached the upper 95 plus degrees🥵‼️ Then I was referred by an officer to checkout HILLMUTH Auto Care. I called HILLMUTH to inquire. I was told to arrive by 8:15 A.M. I arrived at 7:55 A.M. The Service Desk Attendant, John welcomed me into their A/C cooled, clean waiting area. John took my keys and information. He stated it would take about an hour.I enjoyed seeing customers come and go. This gave me ample opportunity to see the rapport between long time customers and their satisfaction with the service performed on their vehicles.Less than an hour later, the State Inspection had been completed! I thanked John for the conversation he and I had in between customers. I also took a pic of the plaque proudly displayed on their wall in the waiting area. It quoted a Scriptural verse from Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men that they will see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Well, that sealed the deal! While I was waiting, I thought to myself, ‘I would love to experience this type of care and concern at other places I frequent throughout the DMV, (DC, Maryland, and Virginia)!’I told John I would keep him and HILLMUTH Auto Care in my prayers moving forward! Five stars ⭐️rating all the way. I’ve received many blessings, due to their prompt, courteous, and excellent service! 🌷
I went to Gaithersburg shop to get my AC system checked based on their mailer Id recently received. Right off the bet they said my car needs Freon gas before they can diagnose anything. Not sure why they wouldnt honor the mailer offer and insisted I have to pay roughly 250 - 280 just to know what the problem is.This falls under false advertisement and I wanted to point that out.
I was very pleased on how professional the staff were and amazed on the quick the services I got from them. I was in and out just like that! Had to give a 4 stars because if I’m being completely honest with myself there price for an alignment was a little much for me but otherwise everything else was great!
Hillmuth did some repairs on my old car that had been sitting for a few years. They did a great job reviving the car. They provide quality at a reasonable price. Their team is professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend using Hillmuth. 5+ stars.
Very professional & efficient, clean, well-run. Will definitely make this my go-to place for all my auto service needs.
Good high quality replaced rear sway bar links and rear sway bar bushings and oil change. I trust the professional hillmuth service fixed my dodge truck 2003. I am satisfied 👍👍👍👍👍
My daughters battery had died on her SUV and was looking for auto repair service on a Saturday afternoon. I called into Hillmuth Automotive in Gaithersburg on a Saturday just after noon. I spoke to John, he asked if I was able to have the battery jumped and brought to the shop or if I needed a ride someone to come get us (which I thought was great customer service). Took the vehicle in, John and his team replaced the battery, did a few minor service tweaks and I was on my way. The entire experience was fantastic, and I was impressed with everything. If you can find a mechanic you can trust, stick with them. I found that in Hillmuth Automotive in Gaithersburg. I would refer these mechanics to anyone looking to have work on their car or truck, and trust that they would be handled professionally and not taken advantage of. John was at the front desk that day, and he is a great representative for Hillmuth. Whatever you need to your car or truck from oil change, to transmission work, or like me, replacing a battery, visit this mechanic shop in Gaithersburg. Exceptional experience.
The technician at the front desk was knowledgeable, cordial and very helpful. I needed some serious repairs and it was not safe to drive my car. He let me know the timeframe needed to repair my car. And supplied me with a loaner so that I could get to an important event the next day. I had full confidence that my car would be repaired and I wasnt disappointed.
Thank you so much for helping me today with my repair order. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to fix their vehicle the staff are so professional and friendly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The work was professionally done and on time the repairs were discussed with me before the work was started and the cost was as predicted. Definitely going back again
Great work ad usually.
John and his team are always kind, attentive and responsive. The value and service are one of the best in the area. Ive been taking a client for 10 years. They have proven themselves to be honest and do what is best for the customer! Will continue to go and recommend!
They are always great at providing updates, being very specific about the condition of your vehicle and what needs to be done vs what doesnt. I take my Bentley here instead of the dealer because I believe its the same level of service without the huge upcharges. No need to take your car anywhere else but here.
Unfortunately, there is not a rating of LESS THAN ZERO stars because that is what the service I received from Hillmuth Automotive deserves.I called to ask if they could fix a specific issue with my vehicle. It was a specialty item and I knew that not everyone could do it. Hillmuth said yes, they could fix it, so I brought the car in. I was not surprised the next day when I was called back to pick up the car because they could not fix it. I was surprised when I was billed $141.72. Hillmuth explained that the bill was for the evaluation of the vehicle, the evaluation stated I needed the repair I originally inquired about. They graciously deducted $49.95 so I only had to pay $91.77 for the privilege of being told what I already knew. As a result, I would NOT RECOMMEND Hillmuth Automotive unless you wish to give them money for nothing. Literally.In the end, I was able to get the car fixed at a reputable establishment where I paid a total of $150.00 for the entire job.UPDATE:After posting this review I did hear back from owner who apologized for the incident. He also refunded the balance of my payment and made every effort to rectify the situation. I was completely satisfied with the response and I consider the matter resolved.Clarifications to owner reply: I authorized a repair of the vehicle which I was assured could be done, not a diagnostic, the problem had already been diagnosed. Knowing it was a specialized job, I called in advance to to ensure the shop could do the repair. The team did not apologize, nor was I satisfied when I left. I did call and speak with a manager after the incident. I was told that someone would get back to me. I waited and waited but never heard from anyone.
We have been satisfied Hillmuth customers for many years. This week the Glenwood Hillmuth team went above and beyond after my car died in my driveway. Makes me happy to know how important customers are to Hillmuth. They are an exceptional company.
Always outstanding service.
I would not recommend them terrible workmanship replaced fuel pump it failed after a week then they say its the fuel tank that’s the problem they say it’s rusted because its old if that’s the case why was I not told that the first time when they replaced the pump I could have payed for both of them the first time but no now I have to pay even more for the new fuel tank which is ridiculous I just fine the work they do lousy.
Ive been using Hillmuth Certified Automotive of Gaithersburg for all of my scheduled maintenance on my 2018 Toyota C-HR for the past year. I do a lot of driving as a pet-sitter and dog-walker servicing clients throughout Howard County and western Baltimore County (averaging over 18,000 miles/year). I cant afford to lose the use of my vehicle, so I proactively stay on top of maintenance to avoid car problems and loss of business. The folks at Hillmuth in Gaithersburg are great! Weve gotten to know each other. I know I can trust the service manager and the mechanics. Prices are right where Id expect them to be. I wait for my vehicle while its being serviced ... and theyve always gotten it back to me within an hour or two. I highly recommend Hillmuth of Gaithersburg (and the other Hillmuth shops in Columbia, Clarksville, and Glenwood) for your auto service needs!
Great price for the MD inspection. Let me drop off in the morning, take a loaner car to work and pick it up after work. Very convenience and great service.
I have used these folks for auto repairs over the past years on several different cars. They are very helpful from the beginning to the end. They are up front with their prices and contact you if they find any other problems or concerns before they initiate any additional work. The manager of the facility is most helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this facility and the people that work there.
John and the staff in Gaithersburg are great. Have been a customer for a long time. Highly recommend.
Great customer service and honest prices.
Hillmuth is the only place that I will take my car to!My current car was given to me after my aunt unexpectedly passed away. I had taken my previous car to Hillmuth because of the incredible service and there was no hesitation to take the new one to them.When I called to schedule a maintenance overview, I spoke with John and let him know the reason how the car came into my possession. I ended breaking down and crying on the call and John was so polite and caring. Instead of rushing me off the phone, he offered his condolences and told me that everyone grieves in their own way and assured me that I had nothing to be embarrassed about.Customer service like this is what they do. They go above and beyond for their customers who they treat like family. They are honest and extremely fair with their pricing. They do not push you to get unneeded maintenance or overcharge you. Plus, they are heavily involved with their community and are always giving back!How could you not want to support a business like Hillmuth?!I cannot recommend Hillmuth enough and they are the only place where I will take my car to.
Great service great work
I have been waiting for two weeks for a seat for my pickup. They have not given me an estimated time of delivery and have not contacted me to update me. Im looking for a new place to get the work done.
Great service and great people
I had new front tires installed. The service technician was very professional and they offered a loaner vehicle while the work was being done.
I have had positive and professional experiences at this location.
As new customer, went in for fix of malfunctioning rear lights. Appointment at eight, out in a half hour. Cost less than expected. Courteous staff, wearing masks. Gaithersburg store attractive, easy to find, comfortable waiting area. Impressed, and will return.
Staff were friendly and work was completed within the same day.
My car has been returned three times for the same issue. Thus far I have been charged almost $2000 in repairs. I have a significant dispute with the last charge for my vehicle. I called on the phone to speak to someone about my concerns, and was promised a returned phone call. 10 days later still no reply. I then submitted a detailed email outlining all the events and costs, still no answer. I am deeply disappointed in this repair shop. I used them because they are self proclaimed in repairing hybrid vehicles. They seemed like a very reputable business, but thus far it has been 2 1/2 weeks with absolutely no reply.
Of all the auto shop I have my car fixed they are the best in Montgomery County and the service advisor is well mannered and respectful. All the best to this shop!!!
They take your/their car care seriously. They arent the cheapest, but Ive never been unhappy with the service. I had 2 leaks in my oil system (already knew about them) and they fixed 1 this time (plan on getting the other fixed next next change). When you ask them look over the car they actually do it and will tell you what they see. There is no price tag for honesty, but youll get it here!
These guys and gals are the best. I have taken 3 vehicles to them over the years. They give you the breakdown of what your service costs and lets you know about issue that may come up. They give you the price for those future services and never pressure you into going for them right away.I really appreciated that during the COVID lockdown that they picked up our vehicles, did the repairs and returned them! Nice service!
We have been bringing our vehicles to Hillmuth for over 30 years. There is not one repair service we would trust our cars with more. This a family owned business, the technicians are professional and their work is excellent every time. I think in over three decades and what must be thousands of services on our many family vehicles over they years, theyve had to stand behind a repair twice. Expect quality work and great customer service from these guys - they are the best of the best!
I took my car in to see why my check engine light was on and why the vehicle was idling rough. I dont know much about cars so I thought I went to a good shop as they did a state inspection for me prior. They told me what I needed and I agreed to pay them almost 1k to fix the issue. When I drove the car it ran the exact same, same rough idle only difference is the check engine light was off!!!! I called the shop immediately, isnt it funny how they offer to pick up your car when its a sale but if there is a problem they tell you to drop it off???? Anyway I called and the manager never called me back. I wouldnt have a problem paying for good work even your $70 charge for rags!!!! But my car is still running the same. I had a issue with them once before with false information, they offered me a free oil change for next time. I wont be using the free oil change or there services again......I just got tricked and it was expensive. Im taking it to be looked at by another shop today since I got no response. Also they put air in my tires I guess as part of the oil change and left it in crazy levels....smh there is a guy there named Bruce he just treated me!! I told him I would protest because of them taking money and not making repairs, he told me dont forget he has the address and will come to my house!!! I am now calling the cops these people are crazy.
Its always a pleasure doing business with Hillmuth, especially John P. You can always rely on professionalism, reliability and honesty when dealing with Hillmuth. These are characteristics thats difficulty to come by with many auto service & repair shops but you can depend upon it with this team.
I have serviced all my cars with Hillmuth Automotive Gaithersburg for almost 20 years. Seven cars so far. They are courteous, professional, personable, but most importantly they are honest and they do quality work. They tell me when service on my cars is necessary but they also tell me when its not. They explain to me everything they are doing to my cars in as much detail as I need. You may find certain services slightly cheaper elsewhere but those auto shops will get your money by performing unnecessary services to make up for it. With Hillmuth I know Im getting value for my services and saving money overall. Nothing is more important to Hillmuth than their customers. Its obvious. Oh, and you wont meet nicer guys than Billy and Sammy at any auto shop around. 5 stars doesnt do them justice. I give them 10!
Thank you!
These folks are fair, my old car runs because of these folks! they always have a loaner if needed... free. Kind. Everyone is really kind and nice so it becomes a personable. 👍🏼
Extremely trustworthy and friendly! I’m a busy working mom and due to some time constraints, the assistant manager Danita personally delivered a repaired tire to our home. My husband highly recommends Hillmuth especially for those with Jeep Wranglers- the service has been outstanding. We go here for all oil changes and tire rotations/maintenance instead of the dealer! Prices are better and they make the process painless
Excellent service. They had to keep my car longer for a part and they gave me a loaner to use while my car got repaired. I will be contacting them again to fix my other car soon.
They were able to get my battery replaced quickly as a walk-in in the late afternoon. So happy with the service. Thank you!
Id heard good things about Hillmuth so I took my car to them for what I knew would be some extensive repair work. They completed the job in less than a day, kept me informed the entire time (Danita the Assistant Manager is awesome), and never tried to upsell me or convince me I needed service or parts I knew I didnt and everyone came across as very trustworthy. I felt respected, welcomed, and listened to, the staff with whom I interacted was polite, courteous, and professional and Ill be taking my car back in the future when it needs service or repairs.
I’m not a car guy by any means. In fact I know nothing about them. So it doesn’t make much difference to me who I took my car too.......until I met John papuchis. 100% the reason I have been a loyal customer to Hillmuth. John is honest. He under promises and over delivers. Always a fair price and always makes you feel like you got a good deal and you were well taken care of. John is the optitomy of customer service. Always friendly on the phone always welcoming always makes me feel like I’m his most important customer and I get the VIP service...... from my experience with this genuine manager I am done looking for a mechanic. I go where John papuchis goes moving forward. You cannot put a price on Peace of mind and with johns honesty morals and integrity I know I am in the best hands.
The team at Hillmuth in Gaithersburg definitely has customer care as it’s top priority. After having several unhappy experiences at my dealership, I began searching for a better option. That better option was Hillmuth. I’ve never been disappointed. They are always responsive, look for cost effective solutions, provide service on time and when needed, provide a FREE loaner car. I drive from Gaithersburg to Reston 5-6 days a week and I trust Hillmuth to keep my car is in top running shape!
I love bringing my car to Hillmuth in Gaithersburg. I know my dad brings his car there and I know I wont be taken advantage of and my car will get fixed the first time. Thank you again!! My baby blue is flying once more!!!!
The shop and its manager are excellent. They worked with me and fixed my Bronco quickly and at a reasonable price. I also had it detailed there and it came back to me looking better than it had in years. I would highly recommend them for all of your needs for automotive work.
I always receive competent and fairly-priced service. Trustworthy - no unnecessary work. Explanations. Guaranteed satisfaction. Free courtesy vehicle when needed. Friendly. I highly recommend Hillmuth.
Hillmuth Automotive is an outstanding business! The service advisers: Sami and Mike are both outstanding and incredibly knowledgeable and very professional. The technicians on staff are also very competent and they do great work. I have no complaints whatsoever in all of the experiences and work that I have had done at Hillmuth. Hillmuth has the ability to do almost any type of work that your vehicle may need and they do it efficiently. I am always impressed with the quality of the work and the level of service I receive. I recommend Hillmuth to anyone who is seeking quality work for their vehicle. This family owned business goes above and beyond to assist its customers, they truly go, the second mile in addition to the extra mile!
Calling ALL owners of vehicles of any make & model... Hillmuth Certified Automotive of Gaithersburg is the BEST place for your vehicle needs - I promise! Your vehicle will be in capable hands and receive excellent care from extremely qualified & adept Specialists. To the fine gentleman at Hillmuth [Mr Sammi, John & Henri) I have observed and truly appreciate your commitment to excellence and service... you are the gold standard of professionalism and just simply great stand-up guys. We know were in good hands at Hillmuth, and for this, The Myers Family thanks you!! - C.E. Myers
They are very professional and courteous. They tell you when something will need to be replaced in the near future and they will tell you the cost up front so you can decide if it can wait if necessary. I like being able to use one of the cars they provide so I can go to work while my car is in the shop. I tend to seek out their coupons to help with the finances. Very friendly too.
They use top quality parts and are honest with their assessments of your car. Top notch!!
Superb service! Extremely knowledgeable. I am so pleased with the work they did for me. I have to say it is the best service Ive had on my 13 year old Lexus. My car now performs as a brand new car. Much better pricing and more knowledgeable professionals than dealerships. I will use Hillmuth for all future repairs!Review by Debbie H
I have found the mechanics and customer service representatives to be respectful, caring and thorough. Previous unresolved repair problems were fixed correctly without reoccurring. Also an estimated cost for repair and explanation of what needs to be repaired/replaced is given prior to commencing work . I highly recommend Hillmuth Auto Care.Delores
I have been using Hillmuth for over 25 years. They have been nothing BUT professional and honest.If they cannot do a job after looking at it, they have been kind enough to point me to other vendors in the local area.Thank you, Hillmuth!
Ive used these guys exclusively for years now. They are like family. The good kind of family. They keep my car humming like new.
Hillmuth found the issue with my A/C that other garages couldnt find. They were also able to turn my car around much quicker than other garages. Would highly recommend!
Today I noticed my tire indication light was illuminated. I called Hillmuth (Ive been taking my cars there since the 80s) and they said come in when you can; I drove directly there. They took my car back immediately and checked all the tires; the right rear tire had a screw in it and there was a slow leak.While I was there they checked my service record and as it turned-out I was due for an oil change. The mechanic was Dave T.I was in/out of there within 2 hours.Thank you John and Sammy; you guys were great to work with and ensured my car was repaired satisfactorily,Great Job!!! Thank you very much. V/r Neal Z.
These guys are amazing. Very quick and quality work, as well as unmatched customer service. I would recommend them to anyone.
Very honest. They have an excellent warranty on the work they do. 36 months 36,000miles amazing warranty. I trust them with both of my vehicles. They dont make up fake problems with your vehicles just to fix something and make money.
These guys are great. They said it would take about 4 to 5 hours to complete the work required and they were done at that time. Their prices were reasonable and they were able to see me on short notice. They were friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend this company.
These guys are great. I’ve had my car here twice, both times I was shocked by the speed and professionalism. Cars are tough, I prefer to DIY everything, but I totally trust these guys with everything.
The folks at Hillmuth are the best! The place is always clean and the staff is very courteous. I like the fact that they do pickups and drop off up to a certain distance and its very much appreciated.They are in the business of being viable understandably but they also let you know of services that will save you $$$ in the long run.One thing that makes me wary of auto repair is lack of truthfulness but Hillmuth = truth. They tell you the truth upfront and dont dump unnecessary services on you. They go above and beyond to help and theyre consistent.I highly recommend them and youll never regret it.
I always feel well taken care of when I bring my car to Hillmuth. They are professional, friendly, and treat me like family. I never have to worry about a ride as they have loaners or can give me a lift to work if I need one. I can always count on excellent service!
I called Hillmuth Auto Care Saturday morning to see if my vehicle concern could be looked at Hillmuth made it happen. It was suggested that I bring my vehicle in immediately. Hillmuth diagnosis the problem on the spot, it was my fuel pump. However, it was a weekend and I needed transportation, Hillmuth provided a nice vehicle until I was able to pick my vehicle up on Tuesday afternoon. We know car emergencies are not so bad when you have good people to help and Hillmuth staff is good people. I will be going back to Hillmuth for future repairs.Darlene J.
Wonderful Service from the Assistant Manager, Denita she had me in and out in no time, took care of everything with ease. Great customer service is hard to come by these days but Denita and everyone else I encountered when I took my car in for service was extremely helpful and pleasant, especially when it came down to me describing the issues with my car and Im probably making no sense but they understood and got the issues fixed. Will be returning for future service needs! Thank you!
Amazing folks! I take my high mileage car to them for regular maintenance and to get my peace of mind. They do not offer deep discounts but the work they do is completely reliable.
John at Hillmuth is a very friendly and easy going guy. He always went the extra mile for me to get things done at a fair price. Ive had mostly minor things done there but in every case I was very satisfied. They are the ONLY ones that managed to properly balance the wheels/tires on my Honda Odyssey (which is notoriously difficult to get balanced). Same with two of my other cars - balancing is smooth as glass.They did a used car inspection for me - only one issue which they guided me on how to fix and then got me squared away very quickly after I took care of it.Ask for John, hes awesome!
Very knowledgeable and friendly mechanics. I recommend them highly.
My experience was excellent. Lisa was really great, she got me rescheduled very quickly and I was in and out of there in about an hour. And happily my car passed MD inspection!
Smart, professional, efficient and honest service!
I went for an oil change only and I was able to get in on time and out within a reasonable amount of time. When it came time for my car to be finished, the service advisor told me what was good and bad and gave recommendations and options, all of which were not to their benefit (i.e.-you can get windshield wipers here or on your own). The waiting area was clean and comfortable.
Great customer service fast and friendly ...danita is the front receptionist she was great helpful and friendly I highly recommend this shop thanks guys for your service
Very good first visit. I took our car in for an alignment but they suggested checking the suspension, just to make sure that was the problem. They discovered my tie rod was seriously bent, which is dangerous. (The car had recently been hit and although it didnt seem like a hard hit, apparently it was enough to do this damage.) They replaced the rod and then did the alignment. They gave me back the bent tie rod, which I appreciated...just so I could see what was really going on. Will definitely return in the future. John was especially polite/professional and friendly.
John and the team are great. Down to work at the reasonable price and always on time.
I was in town from Pittsburgh for a basketball tournament and my van broke down. Lisa was more than helpful. They were very honest and were willing to work with me in order to get my van fixed and back to pittsburgh as soon as possible.
I take all of our company trucks and vans to Hillmuth and they have always been honest about every repair that was needed. Its not easy to find a car mechanic that you can trust, thanks to Hillmuth, we dont have to worry about that anymore!
Great experience from the moment of check in till the warm greeting when you check out and more importantly the excelent service they provide.
Sam was very helpful with setting up the appointments. The service was fast and professional.
Great service as always from the team at Hillmuth Gaithersburg.
I was a new customer and looking for a repair shop with excellent customer service, reasonable prices, and a quick turn around time. I found exactly these things with Hillmuth, and though I dont like it when my car breaks, I am confident in their work and can trust that Ill be treated fairly.
Honest, fair price, quality work, and most importantly, they stand by their work and actually care about their customers.... I would highly recommend using their business!
Hilmuth does great work. They are honest. What more can I say? I have been using Hilmuth for years. and no matter what kind of car I bring to them, they repair it properly and in a timely fashion.
Anyone who says this place is a good value does no research whatsoever. Their prices on parts are disgusting. My fiancé just replaced her rear hub bearing, only one of them, and they charged her $320 in parts alone. You can buy a kit with 2 for $300 online no questions asked. Same with the price for her timing belt, over $100 over the normal price. Whats worse is she has been going to them for years, they know her, and they pretend they are taking care of her. They know shes saving for a wedding, and they pretend to be there to help, but it is a total lie. And, when she asked for a lower price, they made her feel bad about haggling. If only I could be there, this wouldnt happen, but beware of them.
I recently had my 02 Lexus in for a major service at Hillmuth: 180 K mile service, timing belt change and new oil cover gasket. As is always the case, my car was well taken care of at Hillmuth. I am extemely pleased with the level of service that I receive from Sami, Mike and the mechanics who work on my car. BTW, I got a great deal on tires there too!By far, the best service around.
Service is excellent. John and Sammy are very friendly and knowledgeable as well!
I hit a big pothole really hard after the snowplows tore up the road near my house. It destroyed one of the new tires that Id ordered from Tire Rack and had installed through Hillmuth only a couple of months earlier. So I called Hillmuth the next morning and within just a couple of hours they got a new tire in the door and were ready for me to bring my car in. In less than an hour, it was installed and they did an alignment on it. (I asked for the alignment because I hit that pothole HARD.) Since I had road hazard insurance through Tire Rack, and Hillmuth had already called the road hazard insurance company and taken care of everything, there was no charge for the tire, only for installation and alignment. I was extremely happy that Hillmuth had called the tire insurance company, and made everything as easy as possible for me. I really appreciate that high level of service. THANKS!!!
Best customer service I have ever received at an automotive shop! Reasonably priced, too! Very honest and helpful!
They were wonderful here. I woke up on a Saturday, went to run some errands and discovered I had a flat. My husband was laid up in bed, so I was doing most everything by myself but they helped me over the phone, I even called them to ask a question about putting a spare on the car and they helped me out. Even though they dont have many tire trucks coming through on a Sat, they found someone who could drop off tires and they replaced mine, aligned them, changed my oil and belt and it was all very smooth. Sami really helped me out, which was awesome as I was really stressed. He was very polite and I never felt like he talked over me assuming I didnt know anything since Im a girl. He had all that work on the car done, even with only his weekend staff and had me back on the road in a few hours. My car now drives so smoothly whereas before it was pretty obvious it needed some work. Thanks guys!
If I could give them 0 STARS I would!! The mechanic was completely rude and unprofessional, he came to the waiting room where I was there to get a MD State inspection and started talking down to me!!!! NOT A FRIENDLY WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT AT AT ALL!! ESPECIALLY IF YOURE A FEMALE WITH A CAR!!!!
This is a response to the owner from Mia Solorzano’s review I was there at the Gaithersburg MD location on Tuesday, November 6th at 10:30 a.m. had an appointment scheduled for MD state inspection you can probably find my name there, and when I called to speak to the owner he was not in for the day...so they say...
I hate writing reviews but when it comes to GREAT service I am going to. I have an Acura 2009 TSX and the right and left driveshaft need it to be replaced..I am no car expert but my dealership said $2300.00 for all parts and labor I just fell to the floor, I went to Hillmuth and spoke to John Papuchis(GREAT GUY) no BS, no run around just strait answers. Then came down to pricing $750.00, I thought he was kidding. They even have car loaners or shuttle service. They are down to earth guys, I felt at ease, no pressures to get this job done and on top of it they found that my transmission fluid was DARK...meaning that it has not been done for some time. I will stop going my dealer and go with Hillmuth. BTW, I took my car for a spin...AHHHH, it feels brand new...THANK YOU HILLMUTH, keep up the great WORK..Max
