A Continuum of Family and Tradition

Hillside Automotive Center has a rich history of servicing vehicles in our area. Gary and Marie Pelletier founded our business, which opened in 1985. They embodied a strong work ethic and a dedication to keeping their neighbors traveling safely and reliably. When they retired in 2023 after decades of service, brothers Muhammad, Tauqeer and Faizan Hassan were the perfect family to continue the tradition of personalized local service. We, too, have a history of providing reputable auto care here.

In addition, our friendly, knowledgeable technicians, Hector and Geremias, along with our great service advisor, Bob, have remained on site, providing continuity for our long-term customers and a welcoming atmosphere for new clients.

Hillside Automotive is not only a family owned and operated business, but also a family-oriented business. We understand your need for transportation, and we offer the services and repairs to meet your needs. Regardless of the make or model you own, you can count on us for the preventive maintenance services and planned periodic repairs that keep you moving. For example, one of the best ways to extend the life of your vehicle is through regular oil changes.

Other important services include fluid changes and flushes as well as tire air pressure and condition checks.

Should your vehicle develop an unanticipated problem, we’re here to support you through the repair process for all major systems and components, returning you to the road as soon as possible.
