I will only go here going forward! Honest, quick, and good prices! I came here for an oil change and they provided a full service report online afterwards, making it easy and convenient to understand the health of my car. Best service I've ever had and definitely recommend! read more

Came here for a oil change and differential oil change and everything went great when I checked my oil dipstick the oil was right on the line not a little over or under but right on the line. read more

SKETCHY PLACE They unplugged my dashcam while test driving my car without telling me anything or asking. And Failed to give me a receipt or paper anything saying I went to them and they messed with my brakes and tires in case anything happened. Went in for a free brake check on my 1990 Toyota Tercel, they didn't fix it because they don't work on cars 95 and back apparently. Too hard to find parts is what they said. The guy is trying to look for oem brake pads and parts. Which is great but very pricey and hard to find. read more

Very impressed with my overall experience at this shop. Worked with Cande to get my old commuter Camry serviced. At 245k, it's important to have an experienced mechanic that is familiar and knowledgeable. With a scheduled appointment I had my car back in a timely manner. The price was fair and communication was reliable. Will use again read more

Service!!! I have an older Lexus I bought that noone in Simi seemed like they were knowledgeable enough to have a conversation about my problem... Cande the owner at asian autoworks (i probably spelled his name wrong) was professional and obviously knew my car .. fixed the problem asap and lower priced than other mechanics .. and i wont bother calling anyone else again.. ill be back for any other issues i might have read more

I needed an oil change & some routine 58k maintenance. Cande went out of his way to squeeze me in on a Saturday. I was grateful that he made the time available. I dropped my car off in the morning & noted how pristine his garage was as he pulled my auto in. He was very clear about pricing & whatever else might come up re: my vehicle. He gave me an approximate time when my car would be ready & it was. I found his pricing reasonable, but better than that, what a gentleman. Thank you. read more

LEGIT. We have 2 older cars (Civic & Carola) and have had several services here. Very knowledgeable, very reasonable. So glad to have a trusted mechanic here! Wouldn't go anywhere else, Highly recommend. Thank you read more

If you own a Honda, or other car made in Japan take your car to Asian Autoworks! The owner, Cande, will do a full inspection. An explanation showing photos of what is needed, and what can be done later is reviewed. He is honest, and fair. I drive a 1999 Honda and it is running fantastic!

Cande is an honest and trustworthy mechanic! He finds what the problem is, he shows you where the issue is and provides you with advice on the timeline of when he recommends it should be fixed! He is courteous, respectful and he is the best person for a woman to bring their automobile to! No one can beat his good heart and true experience and expertise! I hands down recommend him to everyone! Thank you Cande! Best value in town or even out of town for the honest work you will get! read more

Cande and Asian Autowork are the best! We spoke on the phone and I knew he was someone I trusted working on my truck, someone who works with integrity. Brought it in for an appraisal and knew he was the man for the job. A whole AC overhaul and a ton more work was done in SIX DAYS. The turn around was absolutely astonishing considering the job and that there was a weekend thrown in, it was so fast!!! Got the truck back and it now runs like a dream, I could not be happier. High quality work, fast turn around, and fair pricing. If you need work done on a Toyota or Honda give Cande a call, you will be glad you did. read more

I just had an oil change and visited this place for the first time. Jocelyn, the receptionist was very friendly and accommodative to my appointment times. The work was done in a reasonable amount of time and they did a free total car inspection with emailed pictures and a report showing what needed to be attended to soon and what could wait. Apparently the owner is a certified Honda and Toyota master mechanic. I walked through the shop and it looked like it was clean and well kept. read more

I took my Subaru to several mechanics and even the dealership they refused to work on it said it was too hard of a job some location even had it for 30 days and could not figure it out Go see Candy he fix my car overnight and running better than ever. I highly recommend this shop. They are professionals. it wasn't an easy task and he fixed it in a day. He made me an awesome deal. I will definitely be recommending and coming back. read more

Asian Autoworks - Auto Repair Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I brought separately two of my Subaru's to this guy with repair recommendations from the dealership. Some I told him about - some not. Plus I had my son-in-law who is a master mechanic give me his opinion after looking at the cars. I gave Cande every opportunity to suggest something not needed. Cande's recommendations matched my son-in-law's. This is an honest mechanic. You get a multi-point inspection for free. He gave reasonable prices for what was really needed to be done. He remembered me when I came back the second time and remembered what he did on the first vehicle and thought it was strange I was asking the same thing to be done - he didn't know it was a different vehicle I was bringing in...When was the last time the place that works on your vehicle remembered you and what they did for you last time and didn't want you to have work done that was not necessary? Grade: A+ read more

Great work at a fair price. Very honest to the point of sending pictures of issues before authorizing repairs. Work done in a timely manner. Will go back anytime read more

He took me in quickly. Was extra careful on my Tundra Pro. All original parts. Very knowledgeable guy. He is my go to.

I needed significant work done on my 2017 Four runner Limited. I had gotten a quote from the dealership, then went to Asian Autoworks for second opinion. Cande looked at what needed to be done and suggested replacing some additional parts, since they would be removed during the work. It made sense, and he quoted a price significantly lower than Simi Toyota to do all of it. I'm very pleased with the work, and will probably continue to go there for routine maintenance. The shop is immaculate, and they had washed and detailed the car when I picked it up! Thank you! read more

I took my Toyota to them. I knew a couple of things wrong with my older car, but they did a good inspection and found some additional issues. They give a good inspection report--all for free, with pictures and with guidance about which things really need to be fixed soon. They really answered all my questions and were very professional. I plan for this to be the new 'doctor' for my 'babies.' They are honest and I highly recommend them. read more

Candalario is a genuine mechanic. When I first came into his shop I was asking about performing some work on a Nissan 240sx. He didn't hesitate to tell me the car is not his specialty and kindly recommended me to someone else. I ended up returning to his shop to perform some work on my Honda. I have nothing but good things to say about the quality and honesty of his work. read more

Cande performed an oil change and multi point inspections on my car for a reasonable price. He made some recommendations and did not push for unnecessary service. I will return for my next service here. read more

Honest and professional mechanics are hard to find and this shop is both. Brought my car in to get a diagnosis on a noise in the steering wheel. I was told by a friend it was the struts and Cande agreed that was the problem. He gave me a couple pricing options and the prices were very fair. Work was done on time and the problem is fixed. I'll be bringing my car here from now on for sure. Give them a try you will be glad you did. read more

This was by far the best auto mechanic experience I have had since well before covid........really ever. Cande is thorough! He obviously knows his stuff. And I could not believe how efficient he was. I need my car back in 3 hours and he had it done in 2!!! He explained everything, checked for peripheral issues, and his admin behind the desk could not have been more kind and friendly. This will be my mechanic. I highly recommend him. read more

My family and I have brought at least 4 cars here and every time we've needed something it's been able to get fixed same day! Cande is very trustworthy and doesn't make you feel like you're going to be scammed. (Hence, other mechanic shops I've been to) He will show you exactly on your car what needs to be fixed and what he recommends. Never makes you feel you have to do something and gives you options. Definitely would recommend! read more

Cande is honest and truthful when it comes to diagnosing a car. He took his time to diagnose my car and told me the truth regarding which approach I should take. He doesn't pressure you to do any services and encourages you to take your time. This guy is the total opposite of some of the mechanics I've dealt with in the past. He's earned my business and my family's as well. read more

This is your go-to place for your Toyotas or Hondas! Excellent customer service and quality! Highly recommend Asian Autoworks! Let your family and friends know this is the place to go for any repairs or service. Thank you! read more

I went to this shop after reading reviews. I needed help with a Lexus and Candelario is a Toyota and Honda expert mechanic. But he works on other brands too. I don't trust mechanics and dealers as I had way to many problems with the "quality" of their work and the overcharges. I always check everything after someone else has touched my cars, and I usually find something out of place or damaged. Last time I had my coolant replaced, the Toyota dealer didn't even purged the system properly and the overflow reservoir was empty! And in the past I had oil changes done at the Infiniti dealer and they forgot to tighten all the screws of the bottom engine cover. Many of the mechanics at dealers these days are young and inexperienced. And the dealers push them hard to not spend much time on a car while charging 2 arms and 2 legs. Many experienced mechanics start their own shops, disenchanted with ever changing dealer's managers. I am an engineer and I tend do everything myself as it is usually simple and cheaper to jut buy the right tools. Just sometimes hard work physically. But this time I needed (wanted) help with a difficult situation. I had an engine check light and Code 0450 on one of my cars, a 2002 Lexus with 208,000 miles. The car runs like a clock and has everything original. That's why we buy only Lexus (or Toyota). I had diagnosed the problem to the fuel tank pressure sensor but it sits on top of the tank with no access from the top (no floor opening). As this car is a 4WD, the drive shaft had to be removed and the tank dropped. I didn't feel like doing it myself, I am retired and getting old. I met Candelario and he promised to troubleshoot it for a very reasonable price. As promised he called exactly when he said he would, and he confirmed that the problem was at the tank pressure sensor. The sensor was fine (amazingly after 22 years and 208k miles), but the little jumper wire harness that goes to it was chewed up and 2 wires were cut. He smartly looked with a little mirror at the end of a telescopic and, and he saw the problem. Obviously a rodent did that, there are many rats in Simi Valley. This is a very common issue as car makers use many recyclable plastics that are tasty to hungry rodents! I can't imagine a dealer either willing or capable to do this work, or not overcharging, or simply telling me to buy a new car! A few years ago I had an estimate done at Toyota to check this car and estimate the cost of fixing all issues if any. Their estimate was over $10K !!! Whether it needed to be done or not is highly questionable, more like what they recommended... Watch videos from the Car Care Nut on YouTube: @TheCarCareNut for many horror stories and to learn many tricks. Candelario was an absolute pleasure to deal with: Smart, honest, straight shooter, extremely competent and hard working. His family is very nice too. Like I said I usually stay away from mechanics and dealers, but this time I would not recommend anyone other than Candelario to work on a car, and for sure on my cars. I hope he can find smart helpers to further grow his business. He deserves our business and is a great asset to our small community in Simi Valley. read more

Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Asian Autoworks! I recently had an issue with my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe's oxygen and oil sensors. I previously went to a different auto shop but they did not fix the problem so I came here. Cande provided great service and was transparent with what was wrong with my car. I highly recommend Cande and his team for anyone in need of honest and reliable auto repair. read more

​outstanding experience with their service. The efficiency was remarkable - quick, polite, and incredibly smooth from start to finish. The team's professionalism made the entire process a breeze, turning what could have been a mundane task into a genuinely enjoyable one. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking prompt, courteous, and efficient assistance." read more

Asian Autoworks - New brakes! - Auto Repair Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I found myself a new auto shop to take my car to. Cande was the nicest and most professional auto repair owner/mechanic. I came in for an oil change and he had a few recommendations so I went with them. I want to say that coming to this shop is as good, if not better than going to the dealership. I drive a Honda Accord. His shop is clean and inviting. His system is very modern and uses text messages to send you links to your job and includes photographs of parts needing attention. I am so glad I came to his shop! read more

I brought my Toyota Prius in for an audio system replacement and an engine oil leak issue. The owner Cande was very helpful in giving a thorough explanation of the service that my car needed. I was impressed by their knowledge, their experience, and was pleased to see how professional his autoshop is. Asian Autoworks gave me a competitive price for the same quality service that you'd get at other Toyota dealerships. My Prius engine feels like new again! I highly recommend this place. read more
