    I wanted to give a shout out to Krista and the Hillside Imports team. Even though they cannot service my car because of make and model, they did promptly respond to my inquiry and also went a step further to notify me of other repair shops in the area that I should consider. That is what I call customer service. Thank you for your time!

    We bought a used Passat for our son. Rene checked the car over for us, told us how it was and what work needed to be done, could be done, what to keep an eye on etc. We bought the car and Rene has taken it upon himself to help educate my kid about how to look after his car (who'd listen to a mere dad?) Great local mechanic. Trustworthy and friendly. Thanks Rene.

    Love that I discovered this place. Rene, his wife and their crew are fantastic to work with and they are highly knowledgeable about Westy and Eurovan which I own a Eurovan 99. I live in Portland, so this shop is a bit out of the way but after trying Precission Motor Car and German Formula, I highly recommend Hillside Imports.

    I recently had a headlight restoration done on my car by Hillside Imports. I was hoping that the lights would be improved after the process but I was shocked at how great they looked when they were finished. The car is almost 10 years old and the lights look brand new again. Excellent work by Hillside Imports. I would highly recommend them if your car needs a little headlight refresh.

    These guys were awesome! Rene is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with determining whether a repair is necessary, and willing to help coordinate around both my work schedule and my budget. When there was an issue with a faulty manufacturer part, they were there to offer assistance and advice. They washed the car, and even gave me a gift bag with a nice bottle of wine when I picked my car up. Great work, great customer service, and reasonable prices... I couldn't have been happier with the entire experience.

    My significant other gets his car repairs done here. It's a family run business with a lot of heart. Other mechanics recognize the hillside plates and talk about how great René is. There's no competition. I wish they did other makes because everyone is so blown away by their service.

    It's always hard to find a new mechanic but I knew I wanted to work with Hillside from the start. The first time I called about my car issue, rather than immediately starting the quote process they tried to walk me through how I might get the work done for free from the dealer! Down the line, getting interval service done here has been both cheaper and faster than quoted, their service and garage are both impeccable. What more do you want?
