These reviews must of been written by friends of the owner.High Tech Auto care is funded under a government approved program to help single parents get their cars fixed. I had taken in my 2010 Nissan because it had a blown head gasket and they wanted to charge $2400, it was ridiculously high & it didn't get approved so I couldnt get my car fixed. My social worker said they would only approve $1700 and High Tech still said no. They were nice enough to allow my car to sit in their parking lot for the repo guys to come tow it away. They knew I was a single mother and had no transportation and wouldn't fix my car for $1700. Everywhere I go in Simi and always tell people to go elsewhere. read more

We have been relying on Jerry at High Tech for all our automotive needs. From regular oil changes to major engine rebuilds, we trust these people to give us honest reliable service. I send my kids and grandkids and all my friends there. read more

Came in for a smog check. Jonathan was really friendly. I was literally there for less than 20 minutes for a smog check. Very quick and service was great. I would recommend bringing a vehicle here for smog check. read more

High Tech Car Care has been great. A while back, I went to another place for an oil change, and they gave me a list of like four or five serious problems with my car that needed to be fixed urgently. I was skeptical, so I went to High Tech Car Care for a second opinion. They saw one real concern, and politely explained that the other "fixes" were unnecessary and unwarranted. Then, they took care of my brakes for a really reasonable price. I live in San Diego now, but I still try to come here as often as I can for oil changes and any other work that needs to be done. They're trustworthy and do quality, cost-effective work. read more

Great service, fast and always polite. Jonathan and Jared helped me and my mom with her transmission four months ago, they were honest and helpful with their diagnosis. Most important fair with what they charged. Considering another shop near by wanted to charge for a complete rebuild that wasn't necessary. Today I took our VW Passat in to get a smog check based on my past experience. It took all but 10 minutes and I they were done, I also was in 10 minutes after they opened which helped as I know they're busy. Jonathan remembered me and asked how my Mom was doing. Great people and service will keep customers coming back. Thank you again. read more

The first time I went to High Tech I was new in town, and they were a shop AAA recommended. I had a really good experience there, and I've been going back ever since. It's been almost 15 years now - I've taken them old cars and new cars, a Chevy, a Pontiac, a couple Toyotas and a Honda. They've never done anything underhanded. I've never had a problem with anything they've fixed. When I've taken cars elsewhere for second opinions, I've gotten similar diagnoses and recommendations. They've been consistently professional, respectful, and fair. As to the negative reviews, I imagine some people might take offense at bad news. But I can't see Jared or his guys making up stories or giving bad diagnoses. That just doesn't match anything I've seen in more than a decade of doing business with them. I highly recommend High Tech. 5 stars. read more

Our family has been going to High Tech for well over 20 years. They have always done a great job on cars and trucks. They have great service and a super friendy staff. They always fix our cars perfect without any hassles or glitches. And today was no different, they are the best and most honest shop in Simi. I highly recommend them to everyone!! read more

Jonathan answered my email questions promptly, during the weekend. Their prices are amazing. I was able to come in, relax in the lobby, and be out in less than an hour. Exceptional service at a great price! read more

Wouldn't take my car anywhere else! Jared and Jonathan are always here to take care of me. Highly recommend!!

Thank you to High Tech Auto on LA Ave for the CHEAP smog check ($38 total), for the friendliest service EVER and for getting me in and out in 13 minutes FLAT!!! Awesome, you guys made my day! Merry Christmas! :) read more

First and foremost Jared and Jonathan care about people. High Tech yes, but high integrity as well. You just can't go wrong trusting your car with this team. And they love muscle cars too! Thanks yet again for helping me with my ride! read more

Jared has taken fantastic care of our family and friends cars and trucks. I feel 100% at ease sending anyone of my friends or family to High Tec Tune and Lube. My son's girlfriend is having a problem with a truck and Jared sayes bring it in right now. We will take a look. Thanks for always being there to take care of those things that my husband just can't do or doesn't want to do. read more

I first went to High Tech for a minor repair over 15 years ago and have been coming back ever since. They have worked on 5 cars of mine and a couple my friends cars and we have never been let down. On the contrary, I have been impressed on numerous visits with their attention to detail and willingness to do all the little things the right way without Nickel and Dime-ing me like other shops do. The important things to me in an Auto repair shop are 1) Quality Work: CHECK, 2) Fair Price: CHECK, 3) Good customer service with a professional attitude: CHECK. I cannot confirm this but it seems to me that all the guys that work there have been there for many years. That kind of loyalty does not happen by accident. Also, I'm guessing they have the philosophy of under promising and over delivering and I like that because I hate surprises (of the Auto Shop bill variety). These days it's not easy to find a place you can trust to take care of your baby even if it's just transportation. I will continue to bring my machines to High Tech. read more

If I could give High Tech 10 stars, I would. I've had my car into them a few times and have more than pleased with everything about my experience with them. I recently took it to them when I began having problems with the car starting. They found the cause of the problem, and it was something I had never considered, and it's running great now. Very impressed with their honesty and very high quality work. Jonathon and the staff have earned our trust and will be our first choice for any auto problem. read more

I want to thank Jonathan at High Tech for taking care of my elderly mother, Denise. They only serviced what needed to be done on her vehicle. Prior to going to High Tech she had gone to another nearby mechanic that told her she basically needed a new front end. If your in need of mechanical work done I highly recommend going to see Jonathan at High Tech. They are honest and run their business with the utmost integrity. Especially if you go to another mechanic and they give you a high quote always get a second opinion at High Tech. Doing so saved my mother $1,100. That's a huge savings for anyone especially someone on a fixed income. read more

I have to give credit where credit is do. Once again I am giving my review on the shop. They are the best shop around. Their customer service is outstanding and the work they do is awesome and affordable. They never try to upsell you! If you need a great mechanic head over to them. read more

I'm surprised there are no reviews. Great work, very fast, friendly and honest. They don't try to convince you you need work that you don't. Everyone I know goes here read more

I took my old Ford F150 in for a tune up. They did a great job for a fair price. The even finished the work when they said they would. What more can you ask for? read more

Jared & his son Jon have always treated me right. I have been using them for over 25 years. Today the metal fuel filler neck assembly leading to my gas tank caused the smog check to fail, due to a leak caused by a hairline crack in the metal. They had replaced that part 2 years ago which cost me $380. Without me prodding or even questioning, they sent out and replaced the defective part, even though it had been 2 years & certainly out of warranty. It was my Home Depot trip truck & I probably put on less then 1000 miles over the last two years. This time no additional charge! I did not have to question it, or confront them. High Tech Car Care did the right thing on their own & have high moral character. No question about it...they deserve FIVE STARS for this one alone, not to mention they are consistently trustworthy. read more

Stay away from this shop from now on! I don't normally write negative reviews but this would be my first one. I'm a very considerate customer. I had my 07 toyota 4runner v8 due for a timing belt change but running fine. Went there for the fix 1 1/2 yr ago. After an overnight, drove the car and I noticed a huge coolant leak and If my wife driving it could have blown the engine. In short back job after a $950 cost repair. But they try to fix it and been patient with JON's blah blah but still there was a little leak that I have to add coolant every week. Traded that vehicle though. They fixed my toyota avalon for a left hub bearing which was the only problem but they replaced both per explanation of Jon, fine, since it was charge thru extended warranty. Repair cost $1,000+. They made money of all the vehicles I have plus my family and friends I recommended. Here's one that's unacceptable to me! I have my 04 f150 for a smog test and it failed for performance modification that was installed by the previous owner and I explained to them that I'm not aware of that since I bought it used. Jon said they can remove it for $55 plus the test fee which is $28. I said I'll remove it myself and come back for a retest without charge. And Jon said no you have to pay the test again. B___ls___t!! Guys, go to west valley smog or to other smog test shop and they'll give you at least three tries for the smog check. My family, friends and guys I recommended don't go back to this shop. Doesn't have good customer service that guy named Jon by the front desk. He was worried more of the $29 retest fee. They didn't even do a good job with my 4runner but I was considerate that time!!! No (-) review that time. Not coming back!!! -Nelson read more

Awesome service! Called yesterday for an Air Con service, scheduled an appt this morning. In & Out in 25mins, with cold air in this heat wave. Very direct and honest. My new go to place. Thank you for the awesome service read more

Reasonable prices, honest staff, GREAT service.

I finally found an honest reliable auto shop! The mechanics at High Tech truly care about their customers. Plus, their prices are the best in town. A few months ago, I went in for a routine oil change and as soon as I left the parking lot, my car started making a weird noise and something smelled like it was burning. I immediately pulled over and called the shop. A few minutes later, the manager and a mechanic pulled up. They let me know that the new filter they had just installed was defective, so they replaced it right on the spot and topped off my oil. My car was fine after that and when I went in for my next oil change, they wouldn't let me pay! I won't go anywhere else now. read more

So happy with High Techs service. So helpful and fast with the repairs. Communicated with us each step of the way. We will now be taking all our cars there for service! read more

I have been taking my vehicles here for quite some time. I have neglected to write a review, but here it is. They are always very professional, and you get what you pay for. They always do a great job, and its done when they say, and for the amount they say. I recently has a problem, which I thought was my power steering, but they said it was my alternator. They replaced my alternator, and my problems went away. I trust them completely. read more

Yelp is where customers get to express their experiences at any shop they have been to, and that was what I experienced. If not, what is yelp for? read more

These guys are good as it gets so honest straight forward.I would recommend them to anyone would not go ant where else.

Made the mistake of letting a couple family members take their cars here. These dudes are jokes, first they don't know how to install an oil filter, they crank it down like it's the last one you'll ever buy, I had to buy a tool to remove the oil filter they installed and the tool broke, so after that I had to hammer a screwdriver into the oil filter and hit the screwdriver with a hammer to loosen it. I can teach these beginner mechanics how to install an oil filter, $50 for a ten minute class on how to change oil if they want. Another thing, my girlfriends AC was going out intermittently, it was making a clanking noise, I'm 90% sure it was the AC clutch bearing, her dad took it to these clowns and they said that the AC needed to be recharged and that's what the problem was, if the AC was working intermittently that should tell you it wasn't the amount of r134 that was the problem because if that was the case the AC would not get cold at all. I'm currently screwed at the moment, changing the oil on a car that previously had it's oil changed at hi tech, the oil filter will not come off, so what do I do, break some more tools trying to get it off? Refill the car with brand new oil (with a dirty oil filter) so I can drive it there and have them fix their mistake and possibly have them try to charge me for it. I should film myself removing the filter with a torque wrench to show everyone how much they over tighten them. Long story short, if you don't wanna do the work yourself or don't know how to, take it to someone who k owe what they're doing. read more

Have been using high tech for years for my family's cars. Vw, and Honda. Fast, honest, trustworthy and reliable work. Jared and Jonathan run a great shop. read more

This is by far the best auto care I've been to. I've been going here for some time now, so I think it's about time to write my personal review. I've been to 3 other places in Simi in which I had horrible experiences and later found out that I either over-paid or had services done that I didn't need. Simi's High Tech Car Care has been nothing but honest, nice, and respectful of my decisions to either wait or take care of what needs to be done to my vehicle. Last time I came in, they told me that I was in need of new brakes soon, but I was strict on money at the time and didn't really drive too often. Jonathan was very helpful with explaining a service as simple as that and recommended the time frame in which they needed to be replaced. I've also have never felt pressured into doing any other major service to my car here, whereas other car places I have (but didn't need the service). They are great with their work and have clear knowledge about anything I ask about. I've been here over 5 times now for oil changes, a brake replacement, and other services and they have an incredible team. Their prices are incredibly fair, considering the time they spend on your car and customer service they offer (I think they also offer AAA discounts on higher services). So far, I've had nothing but good experiences! read more

The guys here are AMAZING. You always hear cases of girls going to get their car fixed and getting ripped off but that is NOT the case here!!! I wouldn't trust my car with anyone else! They are always so kind and friendly here and give the best most honest service. The last time I was here the mechanic took the time to explain what was wrong with my car, show me the broken part and explain why I needed to replace it. The service here is amazing. They have always been such a huge help with my beat-up car. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone. It's nice to be able to have a mechanic you can trust. I've been coming here since I got my first car and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. They've helped me with oil changes broken hoses and ignition coils and have always given and honest diagnosis and a great price. read more

Anyone I come across that has car trouble or needs general maintenance work done, I always recommend High Tech. My wife and I have been taking our cars to them for years, and they've always been very professional, quick, and thorough. They are honest and upfront, and very reasonably priced. Jonathan will most likely be the one you talk to, and he will certainly take care of you and your car. read more

Excellent service, had mike help me change a dead battery. He was very friendly and extremely helpful. Will defiantly come back here thanks to mike read more

High praise for High Tech, i had a problem out of state and they took excellent care of me and made sure i was covered, thanks Jonathan.
