I have been going this place for years and Mr. Choi is a good human being, honesty and great personality.
I recommend everyone .
I assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Took my van in for some issues at a local shop Wiygul in NoVa & also needed an inspection. Wiygul came back and told me I needed several things replaced before passing inspection!!
Wiygul quoted me over $ 2,500.00 in repairs, for all 4 brakes and rotors , all 4 tires, and to replace one lower arm on the front suspension. I took my van to another local shop to get a second opinion, this small shop looked and checked on everything that apparently needed to be replaced, to my surprise NOTHING needed to be replaced yet.. Everything the other shop told me I had to replace was not needed immediately! I would eventually have to replace them, but it was still fine to drive and pass Va inspection.
They also replaced a low beam front bulb for a very reasonable price! back in Oct 2023 Wigyl intially charged me $ 298.00 to replace 1 led light bulb! The same bulb burned again and now to do it again Wiygul wanted $ 146.00!! Mr Choi did it for about $ 60.00! (labor only)
I am very dissapointed with Wiygul since they wanted to do unnecesary work at this time. I guess their overhead is way high and their salesman are encouraged to recommend unnecessary work that it's really not needed yet! Seems like they are just after one thing, to nail you with a large bill!
Mr Choi at Hillwood automotive was very reasonable & honest, most auto shops are not! I definitely recommend his shop for your auto repairs! ???? Just keep in mind that is english is not perfect and sometimes you'll have to ask him to repeat what he said!
Mr. Choi gets things done with integrity. We had a tricky problem and he steadfastly worked to fix the issue. We will always come back to Hillbrook and Mr. Choi. And most of all he is the fair-est of them all ?Thank you!!
Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Hillbrook Automotive in Annandale, Virginia! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Jason, the son of the proud owners, impressed me with his incredible character and dedication to providing top-notch service. Not only did he go above and beyond to ensure my car was taken care of, but his commitment to excellence truly shines through. I felt like I was receiving the care of a lifetime. I highly recommend Hillbrook Automotive to anyone in need of automotive services. Five stars all around!
Good work, and fast—my Infiniti was done faster than the dealer estimated they could do it. Not only are prices fair, but he does not try to upsell you. I suppose he doesn't need to, given how crowded the place is already.
Lazy & wont troubleshoot the issue.
Take Your Car Somewhere Else.
Told me my drum brakes were at 40% life and they were fine. Drove the car around & the clicking noise was still there. Took it back to him and he didn't seem to want to give me time. Told me to replace the whole thing and left. DO NOT GO HERE
Received B1 maintenance here this morning for our Honda suv. Oil change and tire rotations - quick service at a fair price. Thank you so much! Will definitely be coming here again.
I've utilized Hillbrook for most of my automotive maintenance needs since 2001.
Big 'Hyung', Mr. Che is a very capable and an honest man with zero doubt.
He will not take advantage of anyone.
Should he retire, I wish him the best and hope his replacement is as honest, competent and capable as he.
This is a great shop. The owner is honest and they do an excellent job every time. Their price is definitely on the LOW side. It's well worth the drive from MD.
Mr.Choi is a honest man. 11/10 would recommend to any friends or family in the nova area. Like another commentator mentioned, looks are deceiving but this is truly a gem.
Mr Choi is an old fashioned mechanic that does just about everything on our 10+ year old Mazda. He saved us 900 on our first repair when we had a $1300 quote from elsewhere and he found most of the work was unnecessary and he did the actually needed repairs for half price. We get gas from his all the time. He is about the cheapest spot for gas and we like supporting him so even if he is a penny or two higher, we go to him.
Mr. Choi is one of the best and most fair mechanics around Northern Virginia. I've been going to him for close to 10 years now. The service is fast and fairly priced. Don't waste your time with overpriced car places and instead support your local mechanic like Mr. Choi.
The people at this auto shop has helped me throughout the years. Always treating me with kindness and helping me out when necessary! I wish you guys the best and I'll always come back for future services. 감사합니다 ㅋㅋ
I have been taking my cars to Mr. Choi for years. He treats you fairly and always gives a good price. I never question his integrity.For these reason, I have recommended Hillbrook Automotive for years and will continue to do so.
Mr. Choi saved our car. We had a oil leak and one shop quoted us $2500 to fix. Mr. Choi found the real cause and it only cost us $100. He is the most honest mechanic I’ve ever met. He is a kind and fair man.
Been going here for over 10 years. Will give you honest feedback and charge you fairly. His quotes are usually $100 less than competitors. Won't upsell you. Hardworking guy, family business, no bells and whistles. Good, reliable, cheap and honest service.
Affordability, honesty and quick service. This place has the x factor. Mr. Choi is very friendly and honest. A honest mechanic is hard to find these days... Deserves a highest recommendation period. A+++
I’ve been a customer of Mr. Choi since 2000 and referred all my friends and co-workers. Mr. Choi is very honest and always gives you best price and excellent automotive service. He is always super busy and that tells you that a lot of people trust him. He won’t upsell you or waste your money if something isn’t necessary for your vehicle.
So I've been hearing about this place from a co-worker named Burt for about a year now. Even with the hype they did not disappoint. I'm definitely coming back.
I have known Mr. Choi for over 5years now. He is a trustworthy and reliable person. He takes time to examine your vehicle and diagnose the problem for free in most cases. His charges and fees are incomparable. I trust him with my car and I have not used other mechanics since I know him. Friends that I have referred to him has always thanked me for doing so.
There are so many con mechanics all over and very difficult to find a qualified honest mechanic. If you live in the area...this is the place for you. I live 20 minute drive away and go here for all my auto need since moving from California in 2001. Mr. Choi is well qualified former dealer mechanic and best of all....very honest. Price is very reasonable and he would never tell you that you need some other unnecessary repairs. I'm sure you all know that many mechanics scare you by saying you should get some other unnecessary repairs. Mr. Choi always told me ONLY the fixes that I need...even if I tell him there may be some other problems. Only downside so far....he's always so busy with tons of repeating customers. So sometimes, it takes longer time than you hoped.
Choi is the best mechanic I know he knows everything about every car. I have been going here for 15 years plus now. I always recommend him to family and friends.
First, Mr. Choi is just a great human being and a professional who does his job not because he's solely interested in money but because he really enjoys fixing cars and helping people. When someone drives by and sees his small and humble shop, he or she may not be so impressed by the appearances of him, his crew, and the garage itself but I tell you..., as they say, looks can be deceiving, this is a real gem in the sea of countless repair shops.
He is a master mechanic and can take care of car issues many shops can't handle. And this comes from my own experience. My catalytic converters needed to be replaced and when i took my car to the dealer and several other independent shops, including Midas, they all estimated the repair cost to be around $3000-$4000. And what's worse, some independent shops told me they can't even guarantee whether they can completely fix the problem and get the Check Engine sign turned off. But when I took it Mr. Choi---- man I got it fixed in less than a day.... no extended wait time and charged me - (I won't say the exact amount) considerably less than what the others had quoted me.
This review is really long overdue actually. My family and I have been taking our car troubles to Mr. Choi over 20 years now. And every single experience, he's been honest, fast, and does really know how to fix all things related to cars.
You got car problems but don't want to break your bank, or don't even have a bank to break, this is the place you need to take your car troubles to.
