Hill’s Garage

Hills Garage will always be my go to garage. The two things that I will always remember are:
They fix my timing belt problem in one go, when I had to do 3 — 4 trips to an authorized GM dealer. In those 3 — 4 trips, they keep on asking me to change this and that. I ended up spending an arm and a leg because the dealership make it sounds like it was a serious problem. I wish I know Candy and Bob before :(
On another occasion, they go as far as to look for recall list to see if I can get new catalytic converter for free. And they found a recall on that part. So I can get that fixed for free at a GM authorized dealer.
I would gladly give my business to them.
Stay healthy Candy and Bob. You two are the best.

Candy and Bob are incredibly friendly and helpful. I had my Jeep towed to them a few years ago simply because they were close and offered a AAA discount. I haven’t been anywhere since. It’s hard to find a mechanic that you can trust completely, but I found that at Hill’s. Whenever I’ve gotten repair work quoted at Hill’s and the Jeep dealership, Hill’s always comes in significantly under the amount I’d pay elsewhere. They treat me like family, and I’ve recommended them to a number of friends, who all have similar things to say about Hill’s.

We lucked into finding Bob and Candy soon after they opened their business back in the 1990s. We had just moved into Indy, and saw a flyer. I thought «He’s got the same last name, out to at least try them out.» (No — we are not related.)
After many, many years of taking numerous vehicles in, I can only offer my highest recommendations for them. They’re honest, and try to truly find the problems with the vehicles — instead of just hanging part until something works. The few times we’ve had problems with vehicle that the factory wasn’t admitting to (YET) Bob kept us informed, and helped us with warranty processes from both the automaker and the parts house.
The best thing I can say about my years of trusting Bob and Candy with our auto-​work is: When you find an honest mechanic that does good work, keep on trusting them. Car repairs are disappointing events. Make sure you’ve got someone on your side, like Hills Garage, that goes above and beyond.

Went here because my Scion was making a strange sound. They diagnosed the problem and by the next day had the part in and my car was taken care of. Not giving five stars because the waiting area reeked of smoke. The receptionist was smoking when I entered. Fortunately, there’s a McDonald’s nearby where you can wait without smelling like you’ve been hanging out at a bar.

Yes, another car related review. Hopefully I won’t be having so many issues with my cars after this!
Any way, I picked out Hill’s garage because it was so close to my house and they had really great feedback on their website. And like Ray W. said, they are ASE-​certified, have really high ratings and that is always important to look for in a mechanic. I had my car towed to their shop right before they closed and I got a call from Candy (she runs the front office) gave me a call early the next morning. I was expecting to hear that I was going to have to fork over $ 3000 dollars to get my transmission fixed. THANK God the only problem with my car was the two CV axles were snapped and it would only cost around $ 590. I will take that over $ 3000 transmission any day.
I’m so very happy with their excellent customer service!

I am finding that the best way to find a good mechanic is to look for one that is ASE-​certified. For an ASE-​certified mechanic in Indy or anywhere else, see
That is how I found Hill’s Garage. The first time I took my car in, I wanted a basic checkup to tell me how it was doing. The dealer had quoted more than $ 100 for this. Hill’s charged me $ 25. They fixed a problem with my muffler pipe. My total bill from that visit was about $ 35.
Today, I called them to see about fixing a broken window in my car. Instead of taking the job themselves, as the dealer had done when I called to get a price, Hill’s referred me to Blackie’s Mobile Glass, whose price was about 40% cheaper than the dealer or Safelite Auto Glass.
