Hills & Dales Auto Care

Hills & Dales Auto actually did such a piss poor job on my vehicle that they drove me to make a Unilocal account.
My story actually takes place over 2 services with this shop, which yes, they screwed up the first time, but made it right so I tried them again when time didn’t allow me to work on my own vehicle.
The first instance with this shop, they replaced a CV axle in my Jeep and changed transfer case and differential fluids. Knowing the risk of popping the inner axle seal seal-​which is a $ 1,000+ repair– when replacing the CV shaft is the reason I took my vehicle there to begin with. Well low and behold their technician managed to do just that. The shop then tried to say it was leaking before they did the CV axle, which it was not, or why would I have wasted my $ on the differential fluid?! Long story short it took talking to the owner to get the shop to reluctantly repair their $ 1,000 screw up free of charge. Once that was taken care of, I didn’t dismiss this shop bc they did pony up and fix their wrong doing.
So instance #2 with Hills & Dales Auto, I again didn’t have time to replace the water pump and do a flush and fill on the cooling system, and they could get me in the next day when other shops were looking a week out booked. Off my Jeep goes. Life got the best of my time and I didn’t think to double check their work. Until I saw a coolant leak the other day. Come to find out, Hills and Dales Auto did what was asked of them, but filled my cooling system with GREEN O.A.T. coolant, instead of the PINK/​RED H.O.A.T. coolant and every single hose clamp was barely finger right, which is where my leaks came from.
The only upside to this shop is they can always get you in same or next day. But unless you enjoy double checking mechanics work and fighting with a shop after you’ve proved their mistakes, STAY AWAY!

Crooks! That pretty much sums up these guys. They seen my out of town plates and thought they had me. They came up with a long list of things that were supposedly wrong with my Chevy 2500HD. I had just one of them fixed by H & D and got my truck back. I had two other shops look over my truck. Most of what H & D said was wrong or needed replacing tested out just fine at both shops.

on 6 1 15 I had a question about my van
I went in there like some places the workers are cocky and make you wait.
not here I had my question answered and the man who was working made me feel good
there expensive but nice

The only place I’ll take my car! They are the nicest staff and always do a great job on my car. I have been taking my car there for 7 years. Would recommend them to everyone I know!

I’m temporarily live in the area, and a contact of mine recommended Hills and Dales as a reliable and safe place to take my car. I’ve lived in Philly and DC and have had bad experience with autoshops, so I am very particular about where I take my car. They fixed my breaks and welded back my muffler and it was reasonably priced. They’ve been in business forever and have a lot of mechanics so I got my car back quickly as well. Highly recommend.
