Customer Reviews for Hillside Auto

“I purchased a 2002 Thunderbird with 130,000 miles on the odometer a few months ago, well aware that it had a few problems that needed to be resolved. I took it to a large Ford dealership in New Braunfels who gave me a very high quote to repair an oil leak. They then informed me that I need a complete front and rear suspension replacement at an estimated cost of $10K. As a retired military guy, I simply couldn't afford their recommendations, so after hearing good things about Hillside Auto, I asked Kirby to give the T-Bird a good look over and provide a repair quote. He meticulously inspected the car, gave an estimate to fix the oil leak at a fraction of the price, and stated the suspension is in very good shape. Quality of the repair work was outstanding and the car now runs like a top. Kirby is honest, trustworthy and reliable. He's my go-to guy for all auto-repair tasks from this point on.”

“Fixed my Civic when I thought the engine was a total loss. It was a simple problem but the car could hardly start. Another shop could have taken advantage of the situation but not Hillside in Canyon Lake. Thanks Hillside Auto. October 2017.”

“Hillside Auto and Kirby is an excellent place to take your vehicle for updates or repairs. Over the years have had several problems resolved from a Tundra timing belt to a Prius tuneup and battery to a Honda running in limp home mode. All at a fair price and timeframe. Usually has an immediate grasp of the problem and probable pricing.”

“Charged the AC on my 65 Fairlane 2 yrs ago at a reasonable rate. Still cooling fine. Kirby recommended Quick align in New Braunfels too. Looks like that was a good recommendation. Thanks!”

“Having traveled around the country with the military, I have done business with many different auto repair shops. Kirby is at the top of that list. An active duty Army Engineer in the area visiting his parents commented that Kirby was the best he had ever seen. Work is done professionally, on time and at a fair price.”

“Kirby is an awesome mechanic. He tries to tell you what's wrong upfront and so far has always come in below his estimates. Also, my vehicles have always been ready before he said they would be, and on more than one occasion, he's dropped everything he was doing to come outside, look at a problem and give me his advice. The 12 years I have lived in Texas, he is the best repair shop I have been to.”

“Kirby is a very honest and great mechanic, highly recommend his shop!”
