Excellent service all around from setting up the appointment, providing clear and upfront pricing for any possible auto repairs, and going over the details after the work was finished. Overall experience was much better than dealerships in the local area I had previously gone to for service.

I have been a customer for many years and have always been treated like family. I will not go anyware else. They are Friendly and know what they are doing. Thankyou for everything you do.

Thorough inspection and great communication

Editing my original review- I highly respect people who acknowledge they either made a mistake or can see where they might be able to do better. Received a call from the owner who read my review and talked to his team to understand my car issue. After talking it through with him, I brought my car back in for another look as there were a few things they wanted to recheck. Dropped my car off with Reese, who well-deserves every accolade others have mentioned, and he thoroughly explained everything inside and out about my car, their findings, and similar occurrences with Toyota. Overall, I felt listened to & that there was a course of action laid out for me if I experienced my car issue again. Plus I left and my check engine light was off this time! It’s expensive being ignorant- do yourself a favor and learn from my $165 mistake and go to NAPA for a free code diagnostic instead of paying for this here. They say they will add it into repairs but I was completely out of luck since mine came back inconclusive even with my check engine light still on. 4 stars in general for the times I’ve come here…they are easy to communicate with, polite, and do their best to explain everything well. Overall, I think their prices of other services are fair but I think my experience today may have soured me a bit.

Knowledge of issues. Timely updates.


Jan 07, 2025

Clays has been servicing my 2012 acura RDX for several years addressing a number of routine & other service issues. They communicate well, do the work in a timely manner and the prices are fair. Can’t ask for much more than that!


Jan 07, 2025

Reece is the quintessential auto mechanic performing required manufacturers services efficiently and at a significantly lower cost than dealers.


Jan 07, 2025

They were very friendly and explained everything my SUV needed with an estimate before they started. The cost was reasonable.


Dec 07, 2024

Best customer service around. I’ve been going for years and definitely recommend them.


Dec 07, 2024

Best service I have ever received! Got me in quick, did a fabulous job, very communicative. I will always return to Clays auto and send anyone who asks their way. Amazing customer service and excellent work. I trust my car to Clay’s!


Dec 07, 2024

Top notch, auto care, fair prices. I trust Clay’s auto to accurately and efficiently repair my vehicle at a fair price. Reese in the front office is knowledgeable and kind. He gives me the truth About what my car needs and help helps work with my schedule. I always recommend Clay’s. I’ve been going there for eight years now and so have several family members.

Another great job by Clay's Auto, Reese and his team are great! It's nice to have a shop that operates with honesty and integrity, a place I can trust to keep my cars running right!


Nov 07, 2024

Honesty!


Nov 07, 2024

Must change hold music. Makes me want to blow my brains out after 30 seconds. Couldn't make it after 3 and half minutes of that torture.


Nov 07, 2024

Prompt Reliable Trustworthy, Good with details


Nov 07, 2024

RJ and Reese were the most helpful and transparent mechanics that I've ever done business with


Oct 07, 2024

Clays Auto Service has always provided me with top quality professional service for my car. They are honest, fare, and very knowledgeable on all vehicle repairs. I highly recommend them.


Oct 07, 2024

Clays are prompt professional and above all honest I highly recommend their services


Oct 07, 2024

Great service, fast and reliable. I’ll keep going back for any repairs my old truck needs!


Oct 07, 2024

If your needing competent, honest, friendly, clean, and professional auto repair and/or maintence service check these fellas out. Their advice without being salesie or pushie is a breath of fresh air compared to the large auto dealers. If you find these words unreliable let the Clay team know of your unsatisfied result.


Oct 07, 2024

Very knowledgeable and kind service. I appreciate the honesty.

We keep coming back for a reason. When you find a shop that is professional, personable, reliable, ethical, and honorable--one that goes above and beyond all the time, you stick with them. We had a 2011 Escape in for oil change, investigate oil leak, and to look a the brakes (starting to make a noise.) They dealt with all of it, including working with us as repeat customers. They even re-seated a headlight lamp in our MB e-350 just because it needed it. We'll be back. ====== They are our go-to shop. First business was in 2020. We had a 2009 Mazda Tribute with lots of issues. They told us to junk it, and we did. It's rare to find a shop that will tell you straight up that an older car isn't worth trying to save. Very clean. Very professional. Kept me abreast of activity. I decided then use them for other cars in the future. Next was a 2012 Ford Escape that we purchased used to replace the Tribute. Needed front brake replacement, and a transmission flush from a flawed flush at a "zippy" place. Had a strange noise about a week later. Minor problem with left front brake. They handled it as warranty (it was) with no hassles. In the summer of 2021, our 1995 Chevy Silverado needed its clutch replaced. Ouch. Clays did that and more. It runs great now. We should get another ten or fifteen years out of that workhorse. October 2021, time for plugs, wipers, and and oil change on the Escape. Be prepared to pay for lots of labor on the plugs. Well worth it though. Once again, superlative service, on time, as estimated. One item of note; if you have a Euro car you really should stick to the shops that specialize in those. Clay's is reluctant to deal with them.

Excellent work and craftsmanship..! You have our thanks and gratitude for top auto repair. We will be seeing you in the very near future..😊❗❗‼️

Quick service. Got my DEQ emission results in 5mins for $20


Sep 07, 2024

The most honest and truly caring shop I've ever worked with. Our household ONLY goes to Clay's.


Aug 07, 2024

I highly recommend having your car serviced at Clays Auto Service. Great customer service and repair prices. Thank you! Iggy


Aug 07, 2024

I went in for a DEQ test this this morning and I was promptly greeted by the very cordial staff. They got me in-and-out in no time at all and went above and beyond all expectations. Great service and prices that are more than fair. 11/10, will be back in the future should the need arise!


Aug 07, 2024

Taken my vehicle here several times. They are honest and timely with fair prices. Would and have reccomended to anyone


Jul 07, 2024

Honest, friendly and great service.


Jul 07, 2024

I am beyond happy with Clay's! Reece communicated with me throughout the entire process of repairing my Jeep. I'm new to Hillsboro and finding a shop I could trust was vital to me as I'm a single woman with zero knowledge about cars. They're fair, they know what they're doing and they're extremely kind and patient when explaining things to me. Clay's has gained a lifelong customer in me this week! Wonderful place! Thank you!!
