What clients say about Over The Hill Auto Repair, Towing and Restoration in Rexburg (ID)
Got my truck towed from Ashton to Rexburg the same day I called - friendly service and were kind and patient with the fact that my truck was dead and needed to be turned around (didn’t realize) before towing when they arrived.
A friend of mine recommended Over the Hill Auto and I couldn’t have been happier! I had recently been quoted $1500 for Les Schwab to put in new struts because mine were old. Rick took a look and said that they were fine and no need to get new ones and it shouldn’t cost that much to replace anyways. He fixed my ac since it was overcharged and took a look at everything. Was in and out quick and left feeling that my car was running well! Will be back next time I need to fix my car. I definitely recommend Over the Hill Auto!
Over the Hill Towing went above and beyond to save our vacation!
While traveling through rural Idaho on our way to Roberts, Montana, our F250 blew a coolant line—leaving us stranded in what felt like the middle of nowhere. After calling around and finding that every local mechanic was booked out 2–3 weeks, we were incredibly lucky to get in touch with Rick from Over the Hill Towing.
From the moment he answered the phone, Rick was prompt, professional, and reassuring. He arrived quickly, took one look at the issue, and offered to handle the repair himself. True to his word, he had us back on the road in less than 24 hours.
What stood out most was Rick’s integrity. In a situation where we could have easily been overcharged or taken advantage of, Rick and his team proved to be honest, fair, and extremely skilled. His mechanical expertise and straightforward approach gave us total confidence.
We’re beyond grateful for Rick’s help—he turned what could’ve been a disaster into just a brief detour. We can’t recommend Over the Hill Towing highly enough. Thank you for your outstanding service
I never actually met Rick, both times I went by to drop off and pick up my vehicle, he was out on wrecker calls. Talked to him on the phone a few times, he was helpful and to the point. Diagnosed and fixed my vehicle quickly once he worked on it. Only reason I put 4 stars is because I had been under the impression it would be looked at the very next day when I took it in, but it was a week later that work was done on it. Maybe this was just a misunderstanding on my part or he became unusually busy, life happens. I would be willing to go back because of the reasonable price and good care, just took too long that first time.
I broke down outside of Rexburg and Rick was so helpful and nice in getting me back on the road! Within 10 minutes of my call he came and picked up my truck from another mechanic who said he couldn't even look at my truck for another week and then immediately got to work diagnosing the problem and ordering parts. Rick was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Over the Hill made me feel welcome while I waited for the fix and I highly recommend this mechanic and am so grateful for all of his help!
Unfortunately took vehicle back multiple times for a rear main seal leak, seal is still leaking was inspected at another reputable shop. Tried to work out some sort of warranty and they claimed they just weren’t able to help. Called and talked to Rick he claimed he was on lunch and would call me back. Unfortunately I have not heard a word. Do not recommend taking your vehicle to this establishment.
Towed my car incorrectly and broke the electronic parking brake which only the dealer can fix. Refused payment so they could deny responsibility, left my car in the middle of our road overnight, hung up the phone on me etc.
Wouldn’t recommend for higher end vehicles as it’s not a flatbed
Honestly wish I could leave a 10 Star review I’ve never worked with a more knowledgeable mechanic, he saved my life a couple years back my starter went out on my Toyota 4 runner the day I was supposed to leave at the end of the semester, I called him and even though he was out of town he got his son to help me and they helped me change the starter and got my back on the road that day
Great customer service. Great price. Extremely grateful for the work they did and would advise everyone to come support local and use over the hill auto repair
Best mechanic in town hands down
We were traveling from out of state and Rick @ Over the Hill auto went above and beyond to get us back on the road and able to enjoy our vacation. His commitment and dedication to us and his fellow man is not lost on us and I can’t speak enough to his character. Thanks Rick!!
Rick is the best! He tries to find the best prices for you. His towing is the lowest and fastest service around. We’ll always come back when we have a repair.
Rick always does an awesome job. Rates are very reasonable. I've always found him to be honest and not charge me for extras that don't need to be done. Absolutely the best in the area, but there is usually a week or two wait time because he does such superior work and the price is right. I am hesitant to even leave this review as I don't want him to get any busier. I have an older car 1995 and he's always able to fix it but is just as good with newer models.
Very Reasonable and Quick to respond - Let us drop off after hours and didn’t overcharge us. Originally Inspected our oil leak for a very small fee and we gave him the go ahead to do the repairs. He had a solid estimated price for us before he started the repairs. Great to communicate with - highly recommend dealing with his local shop than a franchise trying to price gouge.
Mr. Hill went above and beyond to give us the best service at the most affordable price he could. He immediately identified the problem, have us options to solve it, and got to work. I will happily return here for any future auto repairs I stand in need of.
This shop is the bomb! Mr. Hill really saved our Bacon! We had a fuel pump fail in our truck 100 miles West of Rexburg. We got towed back into Rexburg that evening along with our travel trailer. Did some research early the next morning and decided to go with this business because he provided towing and has extensive experience with GM vehicles. He's also a passionate car guy. He has a lot of his own vehicles that we works on.
When I reached him that morning he came right out, picked up our truck, towed it back to his shop and had a new fuel pump in it before the day was out. We were back on the road the next day without any issues. He has clean well lit and organized shop. I highly recommend this gentleman for automotive or transmission repair.
Rick literally saved our weekend as we were dropping our son off at BYU-I. I stumbled upon his business as a recommendation from Taylor Chevrolet. Rick towed my son’s truck to his shop and had it running by the end of the day. Very knowledgeable, honest and fair priced. Highly recommended!
Hands down best mechanic in town. Rick was willing to help me with my 300zx after almost every other shop in town turned me away. Over the Hill Auto is proof that there are still honest mechanics out there.
Rick is awesome! Took my Corolla there yesterday and they did an in-depth diagnostic. They were able to find the problem immediately. Super nice and helpful people. Only mechanic I will trust.
Over the Hill Auto is amazing. He has worked on two of our trucks and replaced an engine in one. Very good communication, great pricing and very accommodating. Highly recommended!
Best mechanic I've ever known. I've had to visit Rexburg twice in the last year. Both times I had car problems and Rick was able to fix the issues and get me back on the road faster than I expected and at a fair price.
Rick is fast and fair. He’s helped me a couple of times get in and out fast and he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing. Don’t know too many men that work as hard as Rick. Give him a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Rick is an amazing mechanic and really knows his stuff. He’s very nice, honest and easy to deal with. I now recommend everyone to go to him to get work done. I had an issue with a misfire on my truck and after replacing plugs and some coils and still having the misfire I’ll be honest I though to take it somewhere else which I did and I regretted going anywhere else. The other mechanic shop had me replacing all kinds of things that didn’t really need replaced because it turned out I actually needed a new motor. I was in a tough spot with moving out of state in a week and so I was desperate to get it fixed soon. I then went back to Rick and told him my situation with spending all that money on it and moving soon. He understood my situation and fixed my truck in a matter of a couple days. In fact the motor arrived on Thursday and the truck was fixed by Friday morning. I really feel like he went above and beyond any of my expectations and I am grateful for that. He was also cheaper that any other place around. Overall my experience was great at Over The Hill Auto with Rick. Don’t waste your time and money at other places like I did, just go the Rick for your auto repair needs.
I will definitely be using Over the Hill again. Rick was very kind and and knowledgeable, and I feel like he went above and beyond to make sure my car was in good shape. I feel like Over the Hill is a great value.
We broke down and we where from out of state (WA) which is 12hrs from home. We took our Dodge diesel in to him to diagnose the problem, he discovered we had a bad injector, we ordered all the parts for him to do the repair, we left it with him on a Monday, he called us Wednesday morning and told us it was done and ready to be picked up. Rick was super nice and very honest, I would recommend him to anyone. He was a life saver for us. Thank You Rick
Over The Hill Auto is the only place in town I will take our cars. Rick has done brakes and sensors on our Chevy Traiblazer, brakes on my Nissan Altima, suspension and paint work on our Mustang, and even helped with the timing on my VW beach buggy. It doesn’t matter what kind of car or truck you have he can get running like it should. If you want a “car guy” you can trust at fair prices, Over The Hill Auto is the place to go.
