M. E. Automotive Repair

Omg this place is amazing! We use them for or business fleet and for our personal vehicles! Franchesca is an amazing customer service rep. She makes sure your well taken care of! The techs in this shop truly care about your business. The owner and the GM go above and beyond and are always willing to help customers out! I would recommend this shop a million times

Awesome guys! Been going here and the Buda location for 2 years now. Every time the service has been quick and done well. These guys are honest and don’t try to haggle you, but if something is truly wrong with your car, they let you know. On top of that, they do jobs for a way better price than the big name auto repair shops. Way better results here than I’ve ever had with Firestone, Bradzoil, or Brake Check, especially if you want a quick oil change. Definitely worth the trip if you live in Austin or San Marcos. Please check these guys out!

Another 5 stars for Jonathan and his crew at M.E. Automotive (formerly known as Hilltop automotive)
Yesterday, I’m at work when my wife sends me a pic of what appears to be our suv suffering from a blown radiator.
Panic mode kicks in because I’m thinking my wife and kids are stranded. Luckily they were at home.
I call Jonathan and without hesitation, he calls a tow truck to head to my home and pick up my wife’s suv.
Jonathan and his crew inspect the suv and quickly provide me the details of what is wrong.
Due to issues out of his control, he has to overnight the part that failed due to old age. (SUV is 10 years old)
Picked up my wife’s SUV today and all was fixed. Price was extremely fair and Jonathan had wiped the tow and diagnostic fee from the final price tag.
I can not thank Jonathan and his crew enough. They do an amazing job and continuously impress me.
Keep up the darn good job guys!!!

I grew up around cars (my dad built dragsters in the 70’s) and I have a bit of a car fetish. We own 8 vehicles spanning 4 decades. Some are classic and challenging (95 Benz 450sl) and some are my babies (81 C10 that I drove to high school). I’m pretty picky about who works on my vehicles. The first time I talked to Johnathan at ME Automotive in Kyle I knew I was in the right place. ME Automotive ALWAYS listens to me when one of my cars has an issue, they don’t throw out my opinion because I’m a girl (yes that still happens, even in this decade) and they always tell me what needs to be done NOW and what can wait.
My daughter couldn’t get her car to start on Saturday and I was on my way out of town. We had it towed from Cedar Park to Kyle, called Johnathan to let him know it was coming in and stopped by on our way out of town. He offered to give my daughter a ride to our house in Kyle if they couldn’t get it diagnosed right away and we headed out. In two hours ME had diagnosed the problem, repaired the car and sent her on her way.
I can not say enough good things about this shop. I know that if we need it, they are just a phone call away and I will get the best service between Dallas and San Antonio.

I had an emergency situation with my truck’s battery and alternator, and with short notice, they managed to take care of my problems. They were terrific in every way, not to mention how friendly and nice they were to me. I highly recommend them!

I stopped by because my car was damaged in the high water. It was nearly 3pm on Halloween (today). I had no idea they had been closed since 2pm. Jonathan took a car out of the bay to put my car up on a lift to see the damage. It was just an oil filter cover (Thank God)! He removed the cover and I was good to go. When I tried to give him money for the service, he wouldn’t accept it. These guys go above and beyond to help people in need. Thank you, Jonathan! You have earned a lifetime customer in me. Thank you.

I went to ME Auto Repair for a pre purchase inspection after booking an appointment through phone. Guys on the phone and in the garage were really customer friendly. I told them what I would like to get/​know, and after the inspection I am feeling totally satisfied! As ther car was dropped off earlier, my Mechanic checked the whole car before I arrived and then he went over with me all the things and details which he noticed. I also got description about things which excellent about the car, and also explanation about things need my attention. As the mechanic also had private experience with Mustangs, it was extremely useful to talk to him, and he was open for questions. This was a case when I was happy to leave my money for a service I got! I highly recommend this place!

As always, fantastic customer service and pricing. Been here about a dozen times when I have something on the cars that I either don’t want to do myself, or don’t have time to. Most recently my car I use for a 100 mile round trip daily to work AC started blowing not so cold. Figured it had been two years since the last evac and charge, better bring it in. Called ahead and they said to swing by and they would jump on it.
Pulled in and away they went. Pulled the 134 out and it was an oz low. Charged it, paid, and I’m rolling in ice cold AC. Said they couldn’t find any leaks and I confirmed that with a UV light and a sniffer. Not sure where the slow leak is at. But at these prices I can afford every two years to drop in and get it fixed.
Thanks ME Auto!

Had a little trouble with them. Forgot to put bolt back on, tried to deny it was their mistake but after my husband pointed out how it had to be them since bolt was in area worked on they finally admitted the mistake and corrected it. Courteous and didn’t take too long with repair. I understand people make mistakes, somewhat inconvenient but they made it right. Would probably use them again.

Just got an oil change here and it went really well. They’re so much faster than my dealership and I didn’t have an appointment. Johnathan was working in the office and was really pleasant

My name is Joe, i lived in Kyle, but now i live in Wimberley. It’s a 20min drive now but it’s Worth IT!
I brought my Nitro in about a month ago to get a break job, They took care of me it was around 400 $. Well a couple of days ago i was on the freeway and i noticed they didn’t feel right so i brought it in and they looked at it and said the Master cylinder was bad. They told me without that they would get the part in a day and they would put it in NO CHARGE!!!

They are wonderful. This place isn’t just going to look for an excuse to take your money. My total bill for the repairs and labor they did was much less than at any other place I have gone to. They are competent, understanding of my situation, and looked to get my repairs done in a timely fashion. They backed up their word and when I got my car back and drove it the next day, they repaired a new problem at no extra charge. I would definitely take my car to them again.

I own a 2004 BMW X5 and the service engine light came on. I only moved here 7months ago so I didn’t know where to take my car. I read the reviews and decided to take my car to Hilltop Automotive Repair and this turned out to be the best thing I did.
I took my car in and Johnathan had the problem diagnosed very quickly. I also had a lot of other problems that they found while they were working on my car.
My technician Ted was the best, he took the time to tell me in depth what was wrong with my car and he also showed me the problems. Before I moved here my car went to the same place for repair for 9 years. I am very particular as to who I let work on my car. Ted was very knowledgeable about BMW and I would not take my car anywhere else from now on.
The great thing about Hilltop is that they work with you on the price and they try to be very fair.
I must mention Johnathan the GM of Hilltop Automotive Repair because he is one of the nicest people I’ve met in a long time. He is very meticulous when explains what needs to be done to your vehicle and he doesn’t make you spend your money on things that you don’t need. If I had a local business I would steal this guy away from them. Hilltop Automotive Repair take care of this man because if loose him it will be very hard to replace him.
I cannot recommend this place highly enough. If you want your car fixed properly the first time, and at a reasonable price this is the place to go.

Super happy with the service we received. They went above and beyond!!! Thanks for throwing in the free wipers.

We just moved to the area and found Hill Top on Unilocal.We decided to go with them due to their high reviews. I called them this morning, brought it in right away. With in an hour and a half they had the problem figured out and pricing done. I was impressed! I have taken my vehicle to other mechanics in the past and never had them call me to give me an update. Hill Top was the first, kudos to them. I felt their pricing was very fair and I felt it was right for the parts and labor.
My husband and I had planned to give them a call tomorrow and see when it would be done. Around 5:30 p. m (same day of taking it in) I got a phone call, saying it was done! I again was shocked! Wow! They had done an oil change, fixed a broken automatic window, something in the engine and a state inspection. We picked it up and everything is great!
Thank you, Hill Top! You exceeded my expectations and I will be giving you my business! If you are in the same position that I was in this morning of not knowing where to take your car, Take it to Hill Top! You will be so glad you did! Johnathan was great, along with the other mechanics! Thank you!

Jonathan and his team are great! Had a parking brake issue from a failed inspection. They said to bring it in they’ll look at it and they had an opening. turns out it was my rear seals bummer but Jonathan said they could have it done by the following day so less than 24hrs??? That is unheard of. They completed the job in the timeframe. my truck is safe and running great and came in on the nose of the quote he gave me. I highly recommend them for any service or diagnosis. I will use them again if I have another issue.

I’ve been VERY pleased with Hill Top Automotive. They’ve fixed my 2005 Dodge Neon a couple of times… this last time they fixed a gas leak that I didn’t know was there (showed me it dripping) when I went in for a battery change (they’re prices on batteries beat the local auto parts store by $ 10!).
I go to them for all of my maintenance. oil changes (with hand wash as a bonus.)… brake work on my wife’s Honda CRV, and other piddly stuff for my car.
I’ve found them to be honest… upfront… and less expensive than other places. Great quality, quick, and fair prices. What more could you want out of a repair shop? Well. one more thing. they’re the local guys, too!
Woot.

I stopped in today because a «screech» noise from my brakes was getting louder (and more embarrassing). It used to go away when I tapped the brakes, not anymore. Anyway, I stopped in to Hill Top and took the manager, Jerry, on a short so he could hear the noise (it was on the passenger side).
He put my car in the air, took the tire off and worked his mechanic magic to stop that noise. I pulled out my wallet, but he just shook my hand and told me to have a good day.
It may have been an easy fix for him, but it wasn’t something I could do. I would have been happy to pay for the repair (which he said was «nothing» even though he spent 20 minutes on it) but I am happier not to pay for it.
Thank you Jerry, I will certainly be back.
