Went in for an oil and brake check. They failed to mention additional charges when they were confirming additional work. Not a big deal at first but still annoying. Then they quoted me for brake work saying it was urgent and needed to be fixed as soon as possible and quoted me for shocks saying those were also urgent. Got a second and third opinion and the brakes are still at half not 2mm like they said. The shocks are also good. Now I’m questioning the air filter and light that they said needed replacing that I did let them do. I feel ripped off. Won’t be coming back for car work here.
The employees here are incredibly kind and helpful. They have done two pre-purchase inspections for me, and are dealing with a third party warranty company that is requiring photos, work ups, and a ton of extra time and work and they have done it with no complaints and have been very helpful and patient. I am referring everyone I know to them for any service!
Great service from the counter ladys to getting right on the job and getting it done in a timely manner. Happy I found this place and will be back .no other place in oak Harbor compares. Will definitely be back.
I have gotten my oil changed here regularly with no issue. However, recently I had them change my transmission fluid, check my brakes, and rotate my tires (which they did not charge me for) and found a problem. One of the bolts that holds my front brake caliper on, worked its way out. I cannot say definitively that hilltop is responsible for it since they say that they didnt touch that bolt. My issue is that when I called them to ask about what could be done to make it right, they were less than helpful. I feel like they could have at least bought me a new bolt.
Went in last minute to fix an exhaust leak after I had put in a new exhaust and they fixed it quickly. I also go to them for my other routine maintenance and have never left dissatisfied. Best shop on the island and they don’t try to rip you off.
Ang is the best. Best service and best prices in town!! Thanks for everything Ang!
Love them, fast, affordable, and have that hometown feel.This place might as well be a landmark in Oak Harbor, been around for as long as I can remember.
Great customer service, very nice people, but finding my oil filter cap tightened way to tight to say the least. Oil drain line was also excessively tightened.
Heres the situation---About a week ago my X5 started leaking coolant while we were on the road. Naturally, we looked for the closest auto shop because the engine was smoking and we couldnt drive it any further. The shop was busy when we got there but immediately got approached by one of they mechs which was so nice because I wanted it fixed right away.They did a pressure test, paid for the service, and we waited for about an hour (wasnt bad). Got our estimate for everything and it was $992. They said RADIATOR is leaking. I was going to leave it there so they can have it fixed before next week comes but my husband decided to check it out himself, and maybe change it himself. SO I bought the radiator online right away.Turns out, our RADIATOR IS FINE, and just like what my husband thought, only the hose was broken. 🙂 Got fixed in the matter of days, and we spent $100+ for the coolant etc.. GOOD JOB GUYS. Now Im spending $120 for shipping--for something I did not really need in the first place.
Heck yeah...great prices be and service. Did my front wheel bearings and brakes and got it done fast.
Great service! Very friendly and professional staff.
I had my RAM 1500 serviced and a complete brake job at Hilltop today and was very impressed with their service, professionalism and their pricing. I went in for brakes as they were quite a bit less than Schwab. While there I decided to get the full synthetic oil change for less than Jiffy. I also asked them to look into an electrical problem while they had it and they diagnosed my issue for free.I also had my gas tank filled for .60 Cents less than the going rate.I was very impressed and will not only be using them in the future but will be recommending them to all my friends.
New to the area and needed an oil change and had both of my young children with me. Free popcorn was available (which is awesome!) in the waiting area, along with coffee, lollipops, a TV (the wonderful cashier changed it to Disney Channel without my asking), and a bunch of toys. Overall, the experience was short lived (5 minutes, in and out for the oil change) but the customer service was absolutely amazing, staff was so curtious, and the price for my Jeep (synthetic) was only $54! Absolutely recommend!
Employee were very professional, cursitis got my oil changed and I wasnt even their 30 minutes, they were quick,
Great service and knowledgeable attendants. I really like the way they take care of your vehicle and even vacuum it when they are done. I always take both of my cars there for oil changes. Thank you so much for the great service it is appreciated.
I always get my oil changed in both cars here. They always do a great job and even beat the dealership quote by more than $400. Going to miss being able to do my oil changes at this place for such a good price when I move.
My appointment was made and I showed up and got a vehicle that was running better had notes thllllll lol f
Great prices and great atmosphere work great with you
Friendly and attentive staff. Usually not a wait and rapid service. I had a diesel oil change on a 2015 pickup for less than $100. Plus they helpfully recommended an air filter change. Good job guys!
My wife and I take our cars here to get our oil changed. The best prices in town and they are super quick and efficient. Waiting room was clean and neat. Highly recommend.
One of the employees yelled at me
Great quick and efficient service. Brought my suv in for an oil change. Was promptly greeted and oil was changed In about 10 minutes. Price was reasonably inexpensive for a full synthetic oil change. Would recommend shop.
Tire repairs are a rip off. First was told it was 10 dollars for repair. Then it was 20 and on top of that the repair was a plug! You can buy a plug kit from autozone for 8 dollars and repair four more tires. Would not care that they changed the price if it was a patch but that is way over priced for a plug.
Always a pleasure
Best price I could find In town for an oil change (even cheaper than Walmart). Jiffy Lube wanted nearly 50% more for the exact same service.....My wife took her vehicle here and was in and out in 20 minutes. She said the service was excellent. Will be taking my truck here in the future.
We went to get our rear diff oil changed. They were very nice, helpful when we asked a question and the place was clean. It was a little spendy, but I havent had a problem with their work. I feel like it was worth it.
Friendly place to go top quality gas, top quality service definitely number one in Oak Harbor. Definitely place to try out
Very Friendly and Professional Staff!
Fixed my serpentine belt
When I went, not a single employee was wearing a mask even though it was mandated. If they dont care about my health, it seems they wouldnt care about my car.
Ive been here for repairs 5 or 6 times on different cars since 2009, and theyre great!
This shop is the best in town! The staff is friendly and very honest with you. They wont try to sell you excess items, services, etc if its not needed. I highly recommend this place to anyone that has budgetary constraints and likes being told exactly how it is.
Great place great people
I always get my oil change here. I get the Star package which runs me $40+ they have a tv, free soda and popcorn in their waiting room. Theyre always friendly. Here is why i go here...if you get a service here, ask at the counter about the gas discount. I usually go with an empty tank. Right now, they take 30 cents off each gallon. Thats the cheapest in town. Also, the other oil change place have really come up in their prices so i stay and get the bonus. Oh and they vacuum the front floors.
Took my Pontiac G6 in for Air Conditioner service. $79.95 for service + Freon and air still blows hot. Spoke with office and was told they could do AC diagnosis for $79.95 which I agreed on. End of the day I call and the technician has no idea and was unable to diagnose the issue, was told to take it to the Chrysler dealership to get the issue resolved. $200 with no resolution.Luckily summer is short here.Office people are nice.
These people are very quick. The service is excellent and they always err on the side of safety. Who can argue with free popcorn and soda. Hilltop reminds me of when I was a child at my dads shop.
I went hilltop auto service 5/7/19.Cabin air filter chang and when I was oil changed at that time they broke it my engine oil dip stickat that time they didnt told me about they broke that also to bad is they broke when theyre working time they told me customer must pay. Also they told me ask owner, but I can not see the owner several days.5/7/19 afternoon, they fixed and charged to me...........charge stick part price$15.08.I request cabin air filterpart price. $19.99. (I must pay)Parts total. $36.79Labor charge. $55.97Tax. $8.97Pay total. $100.83< This store when theyre oil chang jab broke something customers must pay part and labor.>This is not right.I asked lot of people Everybodys said to me shop must pay but I asked hilltop they dont want a pay.Also at that time I start my car engine the one of panel lit come on so I asked them they tolled me make a reservation and come check diagnosing. That fee is $79.95 and parts,laber costs were separate.After that I showed my friend this car problem he said to me replied coolant, after that the lit was turned off(fixed).I went hilltop auto over 3years,If I do not have such a low coolant. They must tell me and put coolant and charge to me.I dont understand why(?) they didnt told me and didnt put it.....Also I have more bad thingI am not say this time. I think everything is too bad
Nice place free coffee and half the price of Jiffy Lube. They will have a customer as long as I am here.
The best on town for all your automotive needs. Great customer service. Super knowledgeable staff.
Best price on gas in town the day I went. State of the art pumps. No line during Snowmagedon 2019.
Fast and friendly! Went in for an oil change and opted for the star service. While I was there, the mechanic asked me to come out to the garage to take a look at a few things on my 97 Saturn. In addition to showing me the filthy air filter and recommending a replacement which I got, he also pointed out some issues with the car that needed my attention including a recommendation to flush the coolant, power steering and transmission.Although I didnt get any of those flush n fill services, I mention them because while they recommended them, there was absolutely no pressure involved and thats something I can truly appreciate. I simply got the oil change and air filter and was on my way rather quickly without a hassle.Will definitely be going back to get both mine and my wifes cars serviced in the future.
Oil change usually completed in 15 -20 minutes. Very friendly.
Came in for simple alignment. Had to wait 3 hours for a 1 hour job. Car was damaged during maintenance. The shop manager got very defensive when I confronted him about it and refused to do anything about it. Use this shop at your own risk. They will not follow through with good customer service if they mess something up.
They always do a great job quick and prices are okay
Paid HALF the price with better service than I did at Jiffy Lube.
Just got back from an oil change, went with my wife while they did it to deposit a check. Right as we were coming back I see someone tearing off in my truck. I get out of the car and walk to the sidewalk, look down the street, and its gone. I walk in and the lady behind the desk says something like Uh, this is where I come up with a good lie?He comes back with the truck, I get the bill, showing that my fluids and belts are good, despite the transmission fluid leak Id asked them to just look at and the alternator belt thats about to fall off.
Had a part changed on my truck, it was defective so they said they would order a new one but a couple days went by and they never called. Traded the truck in for a new one and they still want to charge me for a defective part even though they never got the new one in, the lady was very rude and hung up on me when inquiring about it
Excellent customer service and as a female I wasnt preyed upon. I have been taking my car to them for a few years and always have good service.
Had a simple question about why my oil change went from $27.95 to $44 and change for a small 4 cylinder Chevy Cruze. The OWNER came in with a nasty attitude, yelling and cussing, saying ALL people will pay an extra $6 for a certain kind of oil filter. On a Chevy Cruze?? Really?? Nowhere else has ever charged me extra!! Moral of the story, dont expect to pay the advertised price, no matter what kind of vehicle you have. And if you question them on it, expect to get yelled and cussed at, BY THE OWNER! My advice is just avoid this place altogether!
Taken my car here twice for oil changes since Ive moved here and they always finish within 30 mins. My car requires the most expensive oil change which has always been priced by other companies at $75-$97. Here Ive only ever paid maybe $45ish only because they had to have a filter delivered. Will definitely continue to go here for my oil changed while Im stationed here.
Ive had my moms car taken care of with complete consideration and care...awesome customer service!!
Couldnt ask for bettef service. Got the Star Service on the Bug and found out rats had been in the engine compartment. Give me a few suggestions to jeep them out. Will go back there for sure.
Always do a great oil change and service other things. Fast and friendly
Fast service at a great price.If only they did not try to tell me coolant tested as water (it is not and tests correctly).minus 1 star for this
Awesome service. Wont take our vehicles any place else!!!
I was a bit hesitant to use these guys for a Prius brake job and mount/balance my oversize truck tires, but followed my friends recommendation and went forward.I was impressed at every stage of the process. The phone professionalism last Thursday making the appointments for Saturday was impeccable. The friendly service and casual atmosphere on site was just right.It turned out the Prius didnt need a brake job, but needed the fluid topped off AT NO CHARGE! Im sure this would have ended up a $1,500 repair job elsewhere! While mounting the new tires I had purchased online, they called to advise I needed rear brakes. I happened to have looked at them earlier and was considering having it done, but they said I could get another 2-3K mi. out of them. I had them take care of it right away (since I saved a few bucks with the Prius), and the price was very reasonable.Overall, it was a great experience, I was treated fairly and the price was lower than expected..I dont know where the unfavorable reviews may have originated, but I sure didnt see any of those nightmares in my personal experience. This is my unsolicited opinion.Thanks!
I trust these folks for more than just my oil changes. I have had brake jobs, gaskets replaced, and other invasive procedures on my two vehicles here.
Fastest and most affordable oil change in town. Helpful approachable staff.
Great prices, great service, and free popcorn and soda while you wait.
Had an oil change, quick, thorough and easy.
I have been coming here for going on 8 years. Its great for a navy wife and 3 kids to have a place to take all vehicles. They suggest services to be done and give a time frame and get the job done. All my vehicles 13 Kia soul, 06 Pontiac montana, 02 dodge, 99 Chevy, and 02 kia spectra over the years have been well maintained.
Hilltop is great and is the only place I go for auto care!!!
$22.81 for a plug in a tire. Not even a patch.
I went in to get my thermostat replaced and i came out with more problems. i had missing bolts, the air filter wasnt screwed back in, and my coolant is constantly leaking now. my car ended up overheating and shutting off.
I AM THE OWNER OF HILLTOP AUTO SERVICE FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS. I AM RESPONDING TO THESE 3 NEGATIVE REVIEWS. TO TROUBLESHOOT AND REPAIR KEITH MOWBRAYS 2004 LOW END CORVETTE WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, PARTS WERE $42.82, LABOR $220.33. I PERSONALLY SAVED THIS UNGRATEFUL YOUNG BOY OVER $1000.00 FROM THE DEALERSHIP. NOW HES COMPLAINING ABOUT BRAKES THAT I PERFORMED SERVICES ON HIS 2002 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER BACK IN 2011. HE WAS SO HAPPY I SAVED HIM $150 FROM LES SCHWAB. I HAVE AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE FROM GENERAL MOTORS REPAIRING CADILLACS TO CORVETTES, PONTIACS TO SAAB.RANDALL THOMPSONS REVIEW OF HILLTOP IS TOTALLY FALSE. A DOWN AND OUT LIE! WHEN AN OIL CHANGE IS PERFORMED, WE DRIVE THEIR VEHICLE THROUGH THE FRONT AND OUT THE BACK. WE DO NOT GO ON TEST DRIVES ON OIL CHANGES!! THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECEIPT THAT HE HAS EVER BEEN A CUSTOMER.TO THE GOOGLE USER THAT SAID WE PERFORMED BRAKES A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, THEN HE HAD BRAKE PULSATION. NO PAPERWORK, NO WARRANTY, NOTHING TO PROVE WE PERFORMED THE SERVICE. I PERSONALLY REMACHINED HIS FRONT ROTORS, NEW BRAKE PADS...ALL FOR FREE!! EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO LOG OF HIM EVER PURCHASING ANYTHING FROM HILLTOP, AND I GET A BAD REVIEW.THERE WAS A TIME WHEN MEN WERE GRATEFUL, NOW THEY AIR THEIR FALSEHOOD TO THE PUBLIC ON THE INTERNET. THEY MUST BE LACKING SOMETHING THAT REAL MEN HAVE.
THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD WITH AUTO REPAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. IF i could rate them as a zero that is exactly what they would get. I took my car in for a timing belt issue on Monday and I didnt get it back until late after noon Friday. During this experience, they never called me to let me know what was the status of my car and each time I called, the Rep. said that she would have someone to call me. This never happened. No phone call or anything. Finally I talked to a person/ manager by the name of Phil on Thursday and he informed me that my car would be ready by the end of the day. I called several times towards the end of the day, trying to see when my car will be ready and I kept getting the run around. So I called at 5:30 pm and finally talked to someone and she informed me that Phil would call me back. This never happened. At this point I am very frustrated. I gave up. Around 8pm a rep called me back and informed me that they need to do some tests or further evaluation to make sure everything is good to go and I would get it back Friday Morning. I called Friday morning and of course they didnt have it ready. I didnt get my car back until 4pm in the after noon and they wanted to charge me more money than what I was handed in writing. I am outraged at this point. So I get in my car drive it to my location and notice that my car was over heating. So I parked the car, called them and adviced them what was going on. Phil came out to my location the next day to see what the issue was. He popped the hood and wanted to drive the car back to the shop. I adviced him that he should nt do that because it will over heat and may damage some other part. DUHHHHH!!!!! So he decided that he was going to bring his flat bed truck to tow it. On Friday I told Phil that I had talked to one of the Mechanic there and I adviced him that there was a drip pan under my car with radiator fluid in side. The guy replied, Oh that is okay, we had to drain and replace the fluids after changing your timing belt. When I told him this he advice me that I should go to a 3RD party to get another opinion. WHAT!!!!! At this point he is not taking the responsibility of owning up to they mistake. He told me that it was not his problem and he is not going to fix the car. They have not heard the last of me or from me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Again if I have not told you in the review. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE, CAR OR ANYTHING YOU OWN, FOR THAT MATTER TO HILLTOP AUTO SERVICE IN OAK HARBOR, WA
I wouldnt recommend Hilltop Texaco for auto repairs to anyone and will never take any of my vehicles back there even for just an oil change. I had my corvette towed there to save money towing to the Chevy dealer in Anacortes or Mt. Vernon. They told me they knew how to work on Corvettes, but theyve had my vette now for 4 days. They dont even call me to let me know what going on or that theyre keeping it overnight. I should have just had it towed to the dealer. I even go there physically and they give me vague answers and nobodys actually working on it and the person who is is always out or away. They cant be trusted.I too once took a vehicle there for brakes and 2 months later had to take it to Les Schwab to get it redone and to pay more money. Too bad I didnt learn my lesson then but I sure have now.
This place is the worst!!!!!! The dont ever return phone calls and their word means nothing. Ive had my vehicle trapped there for about a month now. I wouldnt trust these guys with an oil change at this point.
A few months ago I went in to have a star chip repaired. They did such a poor job, you could hardly tell they did anything. They would/could not do anything to improve the look nor would they refund me the money. The other day the window cracked completely.
Great prices for services to your car
Over priced, skeezy mechanics, locked gas pumps during closed hours so that you cant even get gas with a card. I would rather go to Wal-Mart.
Quick service, knowledgeable staff. Have brought all my cars here.
Went to get a oil change 2 days ago and when I was trying to back out my car nxt day sounded wayyy to loud as if I was speeding had mechanic come check my car out turns out they loosened up or took apart clamp from my exhaust so I can go back to them and have them fix it and charge me smh..
Always take my car here. Great service and friendly people.
Great service
Great family run service station.
Fast, friendly, and they even vacuum your vehicle!
Great mechanics
I want to be clear this review is of the gas station, nothing else.Gas here is the cheapest on town if you use a credit card. There are cheaper debit card prices sometimes but usually they are on par with the debit prices. On the island this is where I get my gas.
Excellent service as always.
Love the people there know there stuff.
Service is quick, a you dont need a appointment.
Great cigarette prices
