Don’s shop is a great find I. Daly City. He was able to diagnose my Odyssey issues. Definitely will be back in the new year. Took me 27years to find this efficient and professional Honda helper. Established 1997

Came for an oil change, and they noticed I also had a rear brake light out. They took care of both for $96, and in less than 30 minutes! Love a knowledgeable, skillful, economical locally owned auto shop. I will definitely be back.

Had Don do an inspection on a used car we were considering buying. He found missing clips under the engine that might have cost a few dollars. But he missed a multi-thousand dollar a/c problem and he missed other things as well. Don's a really nice guy, but his inspection was a painful botch for us.

Great Service and great people! Been going to Don and his wife for 20 + years. Still great after all these years! 5 Stars!

Been taking my car here for decades. Don is the only mechanic I trust to work on my car. He’s kind, fair, trustworthy & quick. Support family run businesses!!

Great mechanic shop. I had an issue with my EGR valve, turns out my throttle body was clogged almost entirely in addition to my EGR valve issues. They took the initiative to clean it out and my truck is running even better than these last couple years. Great shop.

I wish there were more places like Hill Top these days... they are knowledgable, price things fairly and clearly, give estimates up front, don't try to up-sell you ANYTHING you don't really need, and do the work well and on time. That's far too uncommon these days, but Hill Top is one of those rare auto service centers that does this and more. I bring my Acura NSX here from Saratoga... about 45 minutes away, because I really only want Don at Hill Top to work on it. He's known as an NSX expert, but more importantly, he's just an honest, talented mechanic for any vehicle (especially Hondas and Acuras). Don and wife Diana are a great team that deserves your business and will earn your trust and admiration.

Love Don & his staff. Their work is impeccable.

Been going to the Acura dealership forever until it shut down. Closest Acura service in SF was trying to say I need all these things because it had almost 75k miles without even checking the car. It didn't feel right. Somehow I found this shop and I can't believe how much I've overpaid and been oversold services all these years. The team was honest and only did what was necessary instead of upselling. Very transparent. The owner has the same certifications as the dealership and maybe even more! I walked down to watch a movie to kill time and was done when I was back. Service was quick and easy. Definitely coming back.

Excellent Honda Acura repair shop. They only fix what needs to be done and not try to sell you more work.

Hello, to anyone who may be having car issues. I'd like to confidently and passionately say to GO HERE! The history and owners of this auto service are truly remarkble, and they are kind people who will most definitely communicate and treat your car with the uptmost respect. I've been facing prolonged car issues for quite a bit, but the owners skillfully inspected my car and saved me from my current and future issues, such as electrical, tires, engine, etc. They've been affordable, accomodating, and caring every time that I have come there--they truly treat you like family. Make sure to call ahead, have a great time talking, and take your car in and have a great sigh of relief. I have no doubt that they'll be able to assist you as best as they can. If the owners are reading this, take care and thank you so much!

I returned to Hilltop auto after a good experience I had with them previously on brakes. I had an oil leak and visited a more formal Honda dealer mechanic; they told me the entire oil pump needed to be replaced for $1250+. Don used a tracer and found it was a worn gasket and took care of it for $260. Would highly recommend checking this shop out for a second opinion on any work if you live nearby.

Peter is wonderful! Very thorough and honest mechanic with prompt service and good communication. Highly recommend!!!!

Affordable prices, fast service. Called at least 6 different tire shops to get our rear brake shoes adjusted which either didn't offer that service and/or were booked up 1-2 wks out and quoted high fees but Hill top took us the following day early morning. Took about 20 minutes in and out. Guys were extremely outgoing and happy to help us out. Good people and Highly recommend!!

Don and his staff are the best!

I was referred to HILL TOP AUTO SERVICES by the staff at THE GARAGE in San Francisco after they were unable to get my 1994 Acura to pass smog (despite $900.00 in charges). HILL TOP promptly figured out that one of the cylinders wasn't firing because of a "bad coil". They replaced the coil for $350.00 and had the car ready the next day. They also fixed the ignition as the key was sticking making it hard to use. I took the car back to the smog center and it passed! These guys are awesome and are now my "new best auto friends"!

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Great service and value. Very professional. Bravo!

Feb 06, 2021

This is an excellent repair shop especially for Honda and Acura, but they will work on other cars. Believe me, they will take care of you here.

Close for service

Good service and reasonable prices for Acura service and maintenance.

I was recommended to go there, and im happy i did. Very honest people, my car was at the point of just no coming back, but Don worked on it and brought it back to life. I found a new mechanic. A little pricey but its worth every dollar. I've had my car for 9 years and it will last at least more as long as he continues to view it.

Don is the best. Very honest. I've brought my vehicles to don for several years!

Don took great care of my rare NSX. Full service. Rrplaced all fluids with Timing belt and water pump. If your NSX needs service, this is the place to take your NSX. --------- 2004 NSX, Rio Yellow Pearl / Yellow 1 of 7 made in 2004

Extremely rude over the phone; she insisted that the gentleman that works on the car would decline to work on my car since I had someone else install the outer tie rod ends, they said that they will NOT work on it and install the inner tie rods for me for that reason. She kept saying to “take it elsewhere!!” and essentially just stopped talking. I’m bummed because this is a Honda specialist and they refused to work on my car without even looking at it and I was looking forward to spending my money here to have it fixed. I guess I’ll stick to Goodyear next door.

Feb 06, 2019

Great shop with honest people.

I recently brought my new-to-me 2001 NSX to Don at Hill Top and really glad I did. It took a bit of time to get an appointment but when I arrived to see 2 other NSX's there I knew I was in the right place. He walked through all the items he recommended and answered all my questions clearly. Price was very fair and Don even did the work himself so I know it is done right. His wife was helpful to work with too. Even though it is a bit of a drive, I won't be taking my car anywhere else.

Best Acura mechanic around.

Feb 06, 2017

Couldn't get some basic maintenance at Goodyear without waiting a week so I dropped in and they fixed my car up nicely in a matter of half an hour. I was searching for something more local and the owners are very friendly and long established. My car is balanced better than ever after a rotation and I will be back here next time I need servicing.

I have brought both my cars here for many years. They always do a great job. When I had a brake problem, I brought my car in and did not know what to expect. It turns out that my brakes were still under warranty from the last job and Don fixed under the warranty for FREE! Thanks Don, you and your wife are awesome!
