Our story
A Small Shop That Does Right By Your Car
Hillside Auto Clinic is a small, owner-led repair shop in Lomita where the diagnosis comes before the guesswork. Owner Sam and the team walk customers through exactly what is wrong, what it will cost, and why, before any work begins.
We work on the cars other shops wave off, including older vehicles with wiring and electrical issues that take real troubleshooting to solve. From AC recharges and leak repairs to diagnostics and general maintenance, we order the right parts and get you back on the road quickly.
Customers keep coming back because the pricing is fair and the answers are candid. If something needs fixing, we tell you. If it doesn't, we tell you that too.
- Owner-Led Service
- Honest, Fair Pricing
- Fast Turnaround
- Experienced with Older Vehicles
What customers say
“Hillside automotive works on older vehicles. Had a headlamp on the driver side not working, took it there, they did a diagnostic before Memorial Day weekend. Sam kept me informed that the issue was wiring and a module not working, he ordered the parts, got the car back in a couple of days. Fast expert service from this small repair shop, everyone who works there is very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend them. They do great work.”
“1st time here and it was a great experience. I had my AC recharged and fixed an AC leak on my 15 Tacoma. After replacing the cabin air filter too, my AC was blowing strong and with Hillside's recharge was blowing cold. Great pricing as well. I'll be going back for any other repairs.”
“I put up a quote request to get an AC system recharged. Hillside Auto responded immediately with a flat price that was very competitive. The owner, Sam, was very helpful walking me through the requirements and pricing, and candid with each answer. Everything was professional and courteous, and I would recommend Hillside Auto for a competitive auto repair quote.”
