Needed a new car battery and my neighbor recommended Hilton Automotive. And am I glad he did. Dan was very helpful and they recommended a perfect fit battery for my 2013 Sonata GLS. I have had my Sonata serviced at Jenkins in Ocala since I bought it back in 2013 and I will say that Hilton far surpasses Jenkins in customer service and pricing. I'm sold on Hilton. If you've got a car repa.ir issue go to Hilton first, you won't be sorry. I'm going back for a brake job soon. Thanks Dan.p read more

With out a doubt the best experience I have had with an auto repair shop ever! I purchased a classic Lincoln Mark V with very low original miles. it seemed to over heat and the a/c would blow cold when driving but warm up if I stopped at a light. I took the car in to Hilton (being new to the area I asked friends for recommendations). I told them what was going on and said that if it needed a new radiator I wanted the biggest , best I could get because I didn't want to have any trouble with it. after about an hour I got a call ...it was a bad radiator cap! they charged me for the cap and sent me on my way. I haven't had any issues with it since. My wife and I now take our cars there for all of our auto service. Friendly, they know what they are doing, and they fix the problem rather than just changing out a bunch of parts! read more

1st time customer and already feel like an long time customer. Very professional, courteous and accommodating. So happy!

I was very satisfied with the service on my GMC Sierra. The wipers weren't working. Instead of installing a new wiper motor and pulse module which is expensive. They found a critter had chewed the wiring harness. They repaired the harness and now everything is fine. I also had the oil changed at a very reasonable price. Courteous personnel and on time service. Jerry read more

Went once. Was told an oil change would cost about $32.00. I told him I was having trouble with my Actuator. Then he offered the synthetic oil change for $90.00. I told them "no." They wanted $360.00 to change the Actuator. I was charged for checking the Actuator. They told me what I already knew. I purch+ased the Actuator on line for $5.00 and had Meineke put it in for $61.00​​​. Also had Meineke change my oil for $32.00. Never went back to Hilton Automotive and NEVER will. read more

If I could give a zero I would, I checked my mothers oil after it was changed a year ago, now mind you she barely drives her car, no oil shown on the dip stick, I went to discuss this with him, and he said it was so clean I couldn't see it. He also told her she needed new tires, her tires are fine. I changed her oil and it only had 2 quarts in it. I went back to him and immediately, he became very aggressive, he told me he wanted to kick my f-Ing ass, my wife saw his aggression towards me so she came in a videoed what was happening, his employee called my wife a retard....and this guy is a representative for Pennzoil??? If you have been to this guy make sure you check your oil because clearly he is ripping people off. Joe S read more

Welcome to Florida I have been here 10 days, some how my truck has generated a noise, I called this shop, they could not get me in last week, but they could this week, so I dropped it off, & got a ride home, not heard anything 5 hours later, so I called them, yeah, I can come get it, it needs a new rear end at a grand total of $2600....... wth...... I called my old mechanic from up in Va, he knows my truck, he has been servicing it for the past 5 years, I explained what I was hearing & deciphered it was coming from the rear, but..... a long story shortened, heed this advice..... STAY AWAY, YOU MAY do better with a Craigslist mechanic, you will def save a lot of your hard earned $$$$ read more

Do NOT use this auto repair shop. You've been warned. I know three elderly villagers that they absolutely ripped off. Horror stories and the latest one was this past Tuesday. read more

Straight up Hilton is terrific. The best work at the best price. I was allowed into the garage to inspect for myself what the mechanic's appraisal was even allowed to inspect the entire undercarriage. My dinky car is in good shape, mechanically sound (for the moment ... haha!). The mechanics are the importance. My car has to run, be reliable and comfortable during the coming summer months in Florida. Mr. Hilton is a terrific man. They don't sell you anything not needed nor wanted. Their sole focus is on what exactly needs work and most importantly what doesn't. Great advice over the phone. These are champs. read more

I've used them for years in my Ford Mustang and Chevy truck. Always honest and polite. Highly recommend!

This place takes advantage of the senior community. My poor grandmother went in and got scammed by these jerks. They took an extra 5 hours to supposedly buy tires in Tampa for a vehicle with standard tires after being told it would take only 4 hours to have that done along with an oil change. When she requested to have the old tires put back and so she can just pay for the oil change and go elsewhere she was told no. When my mom went to find out what was going on he referenced a fake contract that he was never able to show and said F you to my mom and walked away after hiding in his office. This family owned company is full of it. Don't go there and give these rats your hard earned money. Better yet let's report them to the better business bureau if you've had an equally bad experience. No one deserves to be treated this way. But Karma will take of it. read more

Wow! I have never been treated so rudely by a car repair shop. The guy said he was the owner too. I am 2+ hours away from home and needed to know about a noise. If you are busy, and there will be a wait, I get it. But to be fantastically rude to me is not acceptable read more

They charged me too much, didn't fix it right and charged me for stuff I didn't need. Lied to me about the car being done and after I picked it up and called to see why they didn't fix it right and they tried to get me to bring it back in for more work right after they had it for 5 days and charged me almost $1700 and they had the nerve to ask for more. Extremely dishonest and disappointing is the best I can say about them! Don't take your vehicle there because you will be upset if you do!!! read more

I took my truck to these people with the complaint of the engine revving when I pushed the clutch pedal down and the inability to shift gears normally. Diagnosis was I needed a new clutch, possibly a fly wheel, [which surprise surprise I needed] all told, over 1100.00 dollars later, after trying to sell me another 200 dollars worth of alleged repairs, I got my truck back. 5 days later, engine began to revving up again, intermittently. I took the truck back to them and basically was rudely informed that my engine is running like garbage and it's not an issue with the clutch that they replaced. My initial complaint was this symptom of revving and the inability to shift they charged me $1,100 to repair this issue but yet its not. Save yourself money time aggravation never take a vehicle to these people they are very dishonest in my opinion! read more

I recently had my starter go out on my vehicle and had it towed to Hilton automotive. I received a quote to replace the starter for $687. I felt this was exorbitant and called another automotive shop to get a quote ($330). I called Hilton back and told them not to do the work and plan to tow the vehicle to another garage on the other side of town. The person I spoke with at Hilton started to knock the competition until I said that was unacceptable. He refused to allow me to pay for the tow over the phone by credit card. I got a ride and paid him for the tow and diagnostic. The next day I checked with the other shop to make sure they had possession of the vehicle and found out that Hilton had delivered my vehicle but badgered the other garage owner for undercutting him. I would rate my experience lower than one if I could. read more

On the recommendation of a friend, tried Hilton Automotive. Was very pleased. Of course, my car required the highest priced oil change but it was clearly advertised and explained to me before the service began. Quick, easy and on the SW side of Ocala, so it was a wonderful experience! read more

I am from Wilmington, Delaware and noticed that my breaks were making some high pitch noise when I reached Ocala. I went to Hilton Automotive because my mother uses them as her car mechanic. As it turns out they told me I needed all new breaks. I have a local mechanic in Wilmington, DE that I use regularly. After telephoning my mechanic in Delaware she mentioned that it might be possible due to all the snow that we've had this winter that I would need new breaks after my road trip to Ocala. After spending $400 on all new breaks, I drove home to Wilmington, DE. As it turns out the installation of my breaks was horrible. They did not turn my routers and my routers were making noise. I feel strongly that I was taken advantage of considering they would never see me again. I also feel that if they took advantage of me, chances are they are taking advantage of my 80+ year old mother. It's not likely I would ever use this mechanic again nor will my mom. read more

These guy would be better off working for a collection agency. They are down right nasty. Came in for oil change and lube. The next day I checked my oil an it was quart an half low. Asked them to Grease upperball joints on my truck found dry not touched. Came back an they said, you are badly mistaken. I told the owner really an left not ever to return again. Jerks! read more

At Hilton Auto, my family has been customers of theirs for 6 years. We have never had any problems! they have always been honest workers and they were always cheerful. Their exact words always were no problem, we'll get you set up!! Their customer service was always an honest one. We not once, had to take our car back to them on any work they have done on our car. They always got the job done right the first time!! Also, my family goes to them for their car. If I could give any advice to anyone out there, it would be this: It is better to go to a reliable car shop first, than to pay more twice in the long run! read more
