Again I was helped by Sean and again it was a 5 star visit. The work was done in a timely manner, price was fair and customer service was excellent.

Came in to have Check Engine Light issue fixed so I could register the car…read more They did their diagnosis, got the error code identified, they replaced parts, I paid $1600 and picked up the car...only to have the check engine light come back on as soon as I started the engine. I was a little frustrated because they told me the problem was fixed. I immediately brought the back, had it re-diagnosed, and was later told there is another issue which would cost $700 (after a bit of a discount), and there could be more after that. It's an older car, but with relatively low mileage for its age (20 year old Lexus sedan with 105k miles). At least this time I was told there are potentially other underlying issues, which could be cost prohibitive. After this second round of repairs, I was told they'd have to partially take apart the engine because "it could be..." I didn't want to continue this process if they weren't even sure what the problem is and I would have to pay them more so they could "maybe find" what is causing the check engine light. They seemed to be more diligent this second time, and took a little more care to see if the check engine light issue was fully resolved. Good on them for their second effort. I wish they could have done a more thorough check the first time instead of it seeming so exploratory. Maybe that's how the problem had to be discovered, but it felt like it was more process of elimination than a targeted solution. I can disconnect and reconnect my battery and get the same results of the check engine light off for a few days. I took the car back now $2400 lighter in the pocket, unclear if the two parts they replaced may have still been functioning, and with my check engine light still on. I feel it was a misdiagnosis of the problem initially. If they properly diagnosed the problem, my decision making would have been different. Instead, I feel as if I got strung along for two payments if I wanted to have my car back that I still can't register.

Most don't do it because I didn't buy it from them. I started to worry thinking I may have to buy it again from one of the shops and pay 3x the price. I remembered Hillsdale Transmission, from a few years ago when they replaced the transmission in our van. They can do it, thank God! It's like an answered prayer all the way to the finish. It was installed professionally, and aligned correctly. Why I didn't think about them from the very beginning is still puzzling me. I love that shop, Im a customer for life and they can fix everything, beyond transmissions. I can say the last honest shop in the bay area, from my own opinion.

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!…read more As a single woman, it can feel overwhelming when something unexpected happens with your car. I noticed something underneath mine and just needed a quick mechanic check for peace of mind. I searched for the closest shop right before closing- there were already cars waiting- and honestly, they could have easily turned me away. But instead, Isabelle went above and beyond. She literally got down on the ground to take a quick look and then kindly squeezed me in to see Ishmael. That level of care and willingness to help, especially at closing time, truly stood out. What may seem like a small act meant everything to me. They gave me reassurance, professionalism, and kindness when I needed it most. I left feeling relieved and taken care of instead of stressed about the unknown.

Hillsdale Arco Auto Repair is a super honest, reasonable, and kind family owned business that is strongly linked to our local community (the owner is the former Mayor of Foster City). In 11 years as customers, we've had nothing but incredible experiences here for every car trouble under the sun. They've even personally driven us home on days when our cars couldn't be returned the same day. I started to list all of the issues they've solved for us, but I quickly realized it would meet the character limit of this post. If you're a first time customer new to Foster City looking for a new mechanic, I highly recommend giving them a try. My wife read my review and chimed in how super convenient their key drop off is. They have a system where you can drop off or pick up the keys at their convenience store if the car is picked up or dropped off after hours and you've prepaid for the repair. The flexibility has saved us many times when trying to make arrangements for the car while also juggling school drop off and pick up for the kids.
