Andres saved the day today! And an absolute delight at well! Such a quick, efficient process and was an absolutely pleasure. Didn't try to upsell or take advantage of my lack of knowledge on cars. Definitely recommend! read more

I got an oil change done here today. He was honest and transparent. He was happy to quote me his price prior and stuck with it. It was a great deal compared to other quotes I had received. I plan to continue coming to him for any work I need done and definitely recommend him. read more

Easily the best and most thorough and honest mechanic I've ever dealt with. Easy 5 stars.

Andy (i think!) is awesome. I took my car in during my lunch break (i work somewhat nearby) after i called and got insane quotes from other places in the area. Simi Valley Auto Care gave me the most reasonable quote and was so fast and efficient. Andy even was able to pick me up from my work after due to the walk being way farther than i thought and i was carrying too many things. He's a very professional, nice, and honest mechanic who didn't try to finagle me out of $40 extra just because I'm a girl. His shop is around the back in a small alleyway, which is easy to find. I will be going here from now on for my car issues. He was nice enough to make sure my fluids and stuff were topped off and that the car didn't have any other issues. Def a hidden gem...literally. read more

Andy did an amazing job of understanding the issue with our vehicle, repairing it and getting us back on the road in a very reasonable amount of time. He really knows his way around Hondas, especially old Odyssey minivans like ours. Wish there were more mechanics like Andy. read more

I have an old truck that suddenly lost the power steering. I looked on Yelp, saw the great reviews, and muscled my way over to the shop. Andres was more than happy to help me as a walk-in. Within the hour, I received an estimate and an explanation of what he needed to do to get the truck back on the road again. In addition, I mentioned I was having trouble with the A/C. I took it to a shop (not around here) FOUR TIMES and they could not keep the air working for me. I just gave up. Andres did his thing and I learned the other shop did not do what they claimed they did...he found a leak and repaired what needed to be done. He took the time to explain everything to me and did not try to up-sell me. His rates are GREAT. He is truly an honest professional - I wish they were all like him. So happy I found a good shop and a reliable person. read more

This guy seems like a great mechanic. I have been desperate for a new trustworthy mechanic. I read these reviews, came & chatted & asked about several services I need. I saved up the money to get my brakes done & just called to schedule an appointment to bring my car in. I got denied because I don't have a ride away from the shop. It's a weekday. He didn't even wait for me to think of any options, just yelled at me that there is "NO WHILE YOU WAIT SERVICE!!" It kind of surprised me & gave me a bit of a startle. Maybe he's having a bad day. It is Monday. Regardless, he's busy enough to not care about getting new customers. Just make sure you have your ride lined up before calling, I guess. I'll be going somewhere where they don't yell at me for wanting to give them a lot of money! read more

The check engine light started flashing, my car started jerking, and of course I was going uphill on the 118 freeway. I had that moment many of us do, where I know I need a mechanic, but I don't know where the heck to turn because I don't want to get ripped off or deceived. Nor do I want to pay dealership prices. Luckily, my friend led me to a great mechanic. Andy was courteous, honest, and did a great job getting my car fixed up. He is now my go-to mechanic. Thanks, Andy!!! read more

Andy is the absolute best mechanic around. Not only does he know every single possible thing about cars, but he is a decent, honest, and kind human being. He helped my mom about 15 years ago when he was located in Moorpark, with some challenging electrical issues she was having with with an older car she owned and didn't want to part with. Our family has gone to Andy ever since. We highly, highly recommend him. We would not take our cars to anyone else. We would give him 10 stars if it was an option. Andy is an excellent mechanic and we are thankful to know him. read more

The glove compartment in my car was stuck, so I took it to the dealer to fix it. They wanted $600 to replace the door, latch and lock and rekey the new lock! I was shocked so I told them not to do the work. I took the car to Andy who was able to open the glove compartment in a matter of minutes. He still needed to order a new latch for the glove compartment which he did and was able to install it the next day. Andy fixed it very quickly and at a very resonable price, saving me almost $600! Andy does a great job at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend Moorpark Auto Care for all your automotive needs. He is competent, honest and reasonably priced. read more

Simi Valley Auto Care - Auto Repair Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I was stuck on the side of the road!! He saved me I just picked up my Amazon shift and he tied up the piece that fell and did it within minutes. Nicest and fastest service. read more

I can't say enough good things about Andy and his services. Best mechanic I've come across in over 20 years of driving. You won't find better service anywhere else! read more

I'm basing my rating for this on my previous dealings with Andy from when he was in Moorpark. And I'm hoping this review helps others like it helped me (I'll explain below). I've been going to Andy for as long as I can remember and he's always been the epitome of honesty and integrity. His work is top-notch, his prices are incredibly reasonable, and he is a mechanic (and a person) of good moral and ethical character. I will go to him until the day I die, and I don't care how far I have to drive. Honest mechanics are a commodity, and he is truly the best. As for my earlier post about helping others find him...Andy sent me a personal text message when he was leaving Moorpark to tell me he was relocating. I lost that info but needed to bring my car to him. I turned to Yelp and did a search for 5-Star rated mechanics in Simi Valley...didn't take long at all to find him, and I have an appointment for Monday morning. I'm glad others feel the same way I do about him. Thank you for helping me find my mechanic!! read more

Great price and great service. I would highly recommend them. They will be my go to service company going forward.

Andrew is the technician and possibly the owner. I was recommended to this place when I inquired from a friend as I was looking for a repair of my truck. Andrew took my truck, did a diagnosis and found it needed only a coil replacement,(he said it's very common with Ford trucks). Anyhow what I thought would perhaps be a major repair issue, as some repair shops are not as honest, ended up only costing me a bit over a hundred dollars. This was pure honestly and a job well done. I highly recommend this repair shop for quality work and an honest diagnosis. read more

My experience with Andy was nothing short of fantastic! I experienced some issues with my serpentine belt and Andy was able to diagnose and fix it all well within the timeframe he provided. He was extremely honest, giving me a fair assessment of my car, even when it led to less revenue for him. He recommended I skip a few different fixes because the car wasn't worth it. He was also more than fair when it came to pricing. He was very generous in terms of the cost of labor and very fair with parts. Andy's knowledge was evident. I have some limited knowledge about cars, and Andy treated me with respect and made a point of explaining everything he did. He is everything you'd want in a mechanic and I can't recommend Simi Valley Auto Care enough. read more

I own a 2004 Honda Accord with low miles but it had a knock sensor malfunction and the starter died. My friend recommended Moorpark Auto Care after taking his 2001 Toyota Tacoma there for some work. Andres was able to fit me in no problem the day that I called him and managed to finish everything in 3 days. He called me every step of the way to ensure that I was aware of what he was doing on my car. I can not stress enough how important that is!! The work he does is high quality, quick, and his prices are extremely reasonable. I live in Agoura Hills but took my car all the way to Moorpark because I like people who do quality work and don't jerk you around. This guy is on point, he even washed my car before giving it back! I'm taking all my vehicles to him from now on and I'll recommending him to all my friends. Let's make this guy rich! He's worth it! read more

Simi Valley Auto Care - 2004 Honda Accord. Andres gave it a wash after he fixed it! - Auto Repair Near Me - Simi Valley, California

We love Andy!! He has been servicing our cars for about 5 years. We still go to him even though he is in Simi. (Its not that far people.) He is honest and reliable. We have a 2006 Pilot that we are just limping along. Andy knows this and only repairs what is needed. He works with you and is honest. Definitely recommend. read more

I drove my car a little too far over the parking block in the parking lot, cracking my bumper going in and backing out. Also, my brakes only had a few more days of life in them (taking too long to come to a complete stop once I pushed down on the brakes). Finding a mechanic like Andy, who had moved from Moorpark to Simi (5.3 miles away from Moorpark via Tierra Rejada ), was like finding a unicorn. Cars are his passion. My previous auto go-to guy had botched a repair about 6 months ago, leaving me to pay for a brand new repair at another shop. He told me it was OK to drive my car after leaving his shop with a warning signal on (red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle), saying that the car is just temperamental. This was after he installed a part for the second time. His mechanic had improperly installed an engine coolant control valve and the part blew off its mounting, leaving my engine with no supply of coolant. Luckily another shop was able to fix it but they're a tad to far away for me to use as my go-to. Andy was able to explain to me why the part had blown off (failure to completely bleed all the air from the line, the shop that ultimately fixed it said that the brand name parts are just sturdier) and fix my cracked bumper for several hundred less than what it would have cost to replace it. Along with patching up the bumper, he installed a new splash guard, replaced my brakes with high quality pad for a very fair price and gave me some tips about maintenance. Andy knows cars, and what he doesn't know, he won't lie to you about like my previous mechanic had. He'll refer you to the dealer if the problem is so unique that it needs one but more likely than not, he can probably fix your issue. He's a car mechanic that really, really likes cars. He's been working on cars since 1983, and if you're a gear head he has a wealth of knowledge relating to cars and the industry to discuss. All in all he's the car guy you've been looking for. read more

If I could give more stars, I would. I went to Andres from out-of-town because of his rating on Yelp. Yelp couldn't have been more correct. I needed an independent evaluation of a car I was going to buy. He told me NOT to buy the car. I think he won over the seller who wanted the Jeep to be safe. Andres spent 90 MINUTES with us !!!! He told us what NOT TO BUY. Buy a Toyota or Honda that has had the timing belt replaced since we were looking for a car under3k. He said Suburu can be good but a quirky car. Now we are on the right track. He is soooo opinionated, but based on experience & DECADES of knowledge. You can trust this guy. We do ! A+++++++++++++++ read more

If you are looking for a good mechanic in Moorpark, I highly recommend the Moorpark Auto Care. Andres or Andy is very knowledgeable & he would only recommend what your car needs. And his prices are reasonable. He is an honest mechanic you can trust w/c is hard to find nowadays. read more

Simi Valley Auto Care - Auto Repair Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Let me start by saying this guy is the best and is a master mechanic! Better yet his prices are great! You're crazy to spend money at a dealership in Simi Valley knowing that Andy now has a shop here! People are always worried about finding an honest mechanic that won't take advantage of them. Well stop worrying because Andy is an honest guy. He repaired my car, did a great job and only charge half of what the dealer quoted me. This guy deserves your business! He has earned mine for sure! read more

I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. Andy is always friendly, knowledgeable and gives us upfront and honest advice as well as a very fair price. Brought my car in this morning with a check engine light and it was two misfiring cylinders. By the afternoon my car was fixed and I was on my way! Thanks, Andy!! read more

Needed an oil change and took my car to Andres who was was amazingly knowledgeable about cars and how to care for them. Reasonable prices and friendly services! I'll be returning when my car needs services, and also, I'm planning on taking my mother's car for upcoming services that it needs. Thank you Andres!!! read more

Andy is a great master mechanic I have been taking my car to him for the past five years he's honest and reliable I gave him five big stars

This review for Simi Valley Auto Care is long overdue. I'd like to begin by describing how my first visit a few years ago evolved to having Andy service all 5 of our cars. My son has a 2007 Camry that needed a radiator. A local Toyota dealership gave me a price to replace the radiator of $1,400.00 Inasmuch as the car is worth that and it was is very good condition otherwise, I called Simi Valley Auto Care. Andy gave me a price of $693.00 for the exact same job. Now, check this one out: when I picked up the car, Andy told me "I over estimated the labor and the total is $601.00. I was so overwhelmed by his integrity I still wrote the check for the $693.00 just for the principle of the thing. Also to note, before opening his own business several years ago, Andy was the Master Technician and two major dealerships. I've also seen people with new cars go to Simi Valley Auto Care to avoid the dealerships. I'm so glad I made the call on my son's car. When you go there, you'll have the piece of mind that everything will be diagnosed and serviced and repaired properly. read more

Andy had always been really helpful and knowledgeable. I've been taking my son's first car to Andy and we're very happy to recommend him.

We still love Andy, but the business was forced to move! New place is Simi Valley Auto Care at 255 E Easy Street Unit C in Simi. Miss having him in Moorpark, but we are still fans:) read more

Honest mechanics are like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, people claim to have seen them, but no one has ever produced hard evidence that they exist. Well, I'm convinced that I finally have found one. 2004 Prius, 270k miles (don't rub your eyes, I actually wrote 270k miles), big red EXCLAMATION POINT light went on. Not only did he read the code for free, which Toyota automatically charges $85 for, but he quoted me the lowest price on the failed pump he found, which was confirmed by both Midas and Toyota dealer. This guy is the real deal! read more

Until a few years ago I had all of my engine maintenance and repairs done by the dealer on my Acura NSX. I heard that Andy used to work at Acura and actually owns an NSX, so I decided to give Moorpark Auto Care a try. First of all, Andy does all of his own work, he has no employees, so you are dealing directly with a small business owner, which is usually a win right off the bat in my experience. I have literally saved thousands of dollars because Andy does great work at a fair price. Also, I can trust him to tell me when something has to be done or when it can wait. The dealer used to have me do a valve adjustment every 15,000 miles, Andy told me I don't have to. Now I even buy my tires online and have them shipped to Andy, having him do the alignment on my car yielded an amazing difference in handling compared to the tire store. One night leaving downtown LA at 7:30PM my clutch wouldn't work, stranded on a busy freeway I called Andy and he was able to verbally get me going, without him I was going to have be towed. In short I can't recommend Andy enough. read more

I inquired about an alignment on my car via MAC's website and received a response within a few hours and given a quote of $85. Since it was close to my parents home, I dropped my car off around 9 and was ready before noon. The owner was friendly and answered any and all of the questions I had and even shared his background in cars, which I really appreciated. He specializes in Acuras, which brings me a ton of comfort knowing he really knows my car inside and out. I used to take my car to an Acura specialist that has become fairly popular but had to stop because I realized they were starting to over sell me on a ton of stuff, but I definitely did not feel that way with MAC. The only downside for me is they are only open on the weekdays and I'm normally here on the weekends so I won't be able to bring my car here very often, if at all. Some of the service costs are somewhat pricey, but well worth it knowing the quality of the service is so great. read more

Thank you Andres for all your great work keeping my car running and not killing me in the cost.

I promise that if you take your car to Andy, you won't be disappointed. He's by far the best mechanic I've ever been to. He's been taking care of my family and I for years and has never let us down. He communicates everything to us and never over charges. What he says it will cost you, that's what you'll pay, not a penny more. He is extremely friendly, and his prices are very fair. But, of course most importantly, he knows his stuff. In all the years we have never had to bring the car back with a problem. When you're a father of four adult children, it's great piece of mind knowing their cars are well taken care of. In this day it's hard to find a mechanic that you trust 100%. But I do with Andy. Take your car to Andy, he won't let you down. read more

As a young female you can imagine taking your car somewhere to be serviced is always uncomfortable. You're either being gawked at or the business will try to take all your money. This place was neither. Andres was SO nice and I felt so comfortable. He charged me a totally fare price and took the time to help me understand how to fully care for my car. Thank you so much!! I would highly recommend anyone to come here! Especially any young women!! read more

Andres is kind, courteous, honest and tries to make your repairs as affordable as they can possibly be. He will take great care of your vehicle and treat you with respect. read more

Andy is one of the most honest mechanics I have ever met. He will tell you what needs to be done and what doesn't. We had an issue with a car not running correctly, we had it to numerous mechanics with no luck. Andy took the time to try to figure it out, he tested everything possible and found it was a very small part that wasn't expensive. We just brought my wife's car in for brakes, Andy did the front brakes and said the rear brakes were fine. Many places would have just did the work adding to the bill. He also was considerable less than anyone in the area. I won't take our cars anywhere else. read more

I have never been able to find an amazing mechanic, and honestly you cant get better than Andy's shop. I just moved to the area, and my car was having some issues. I found Moorpark Auto care through Yelp and what everyone says about him is so true. He was kind and polite. My car runs like a dream, but the best part of all of it, was he washed my car. I will so be back, he generally wants to help. Thank you so much!!! read more

I don't typically write yelp reviews but Simi Valley Auto Care deserves recognition. Andy is honest and knowledgeable. If you are looking for a phenomenal mechanic with integrity then Andy is your man. Thank you Andy! read more

Andy not only knows his stuff but his prices are reasonable and his work is excellent. I only trust my car to him.

Took my car here because it needed to be service. He does a good job but he will charge you twice for the work he does. So be prepare to spend $$$. read more
