Most of them do a great job the first few times to gain your trust & business, unfortunately they fall backwards and end up doing worse in the future. Then you are back to square one. But Jason from Roy's Garage is different from all the others. I fist used them about 4 years ago by recommendations from co-workers. Thru countless times I have taken my vehicles or have recommended others to go there, I have never once had or heard about a bad experience with this company. His motto is "honest work at honest prices", I truly believe he stands behind this statement. I seldom write reviews unless I receive terrible service or get ripped off by the few bad apples out there in business. But let me make no mistake when I tell you that you will not find a more honest, dependable & affordable mechanic who will do a better job. If you have a need for any auto mechanic services give Jason a call, you won't be disappointed.

I am so thrilled to have found Simmonson. We were very disappointed with the service we were getting at a local place, and I started asking around to friends and strangers who they trust to work on their European car, they all said go to Simmonson! From the minute I called to make the appointment I was met with a friendly voice who cared to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions. I was hesitant, as we are fairly new to the area and I made the mistake in the past of getting a 'not so great' place to take the Rover. From the minute I dropped it off for service Sam was always in contact with me. I asked for quite a few things to be looked at, which were not done at the other local place, and they gladly obliged and also dug deeper into what should have been done. We needed quite a few different things, but Sam was always great with the communication and the costs for everything. I picked up an amazingly clean vehicle, which was a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend their services. The Rover is running better than ever too!! Definitely a new customer here, thanks to them for being so great!~ read more

I have found my go to mechanics! I only wish I had found them sooner. When I started getting check engine errors I took my 2002 Porsche Boxster S to a franchise oil change shop. They promptly changed the oil but added far too much (nearly five quarts too much!). Then I started to get another engine error. I followed a recommendation to bring it in to Simmonson Automotive by another Porsche owner. I couldn't be happier. They diagnosed the engine error and found the additional oil before it damaged my engine. They were great a communicating what needed to be done and worked very quickly to resolve all the issues. I cannot recommend them higher! They have earned my future business! read more

I took my Porsche 911S to Simmonson Automotive on the recommendation of my previous mechanic, Curtis Messer who now works as Crew Chief for Carrus-Callas Porsche Race Team. They were able to troubleshoot a problem with the mass flow sensor that led to its replacement. My Porsche is equipped with a Fabspeed Performance Package (i.e. Cold Air Intake System, Headers, Exhaust and tuned ECU). No one had ever worked on my car other than the Porsche Dealership during its warranty period and Curtis post warranty. I am happy with the work they did, the car runs strong and no more "check engine" light issues. I would recommend Simmonson Automotive for others driving German automobiles. Don H. read more

I was expecting to just pay for the mechanic work they'd do on it after. I learned it's good to confirm prices with mechanics beforehand because not all are transparent about their prices. I was not told at any point during the process from the time I called to make the appointment & thru the entire appointment that they were doing more of an extensive diagnostic check of multiple pages they printed out for me that was $250. I was not told about the fee until after they were done with my car. I told them I was not expecting this because I didn't ask for it & they didn't show any care or seem apologetic about it. Poor customer service & unethical business practices. I've been here multiple times, but will not be coming back. A $250 charge is a lot of money to not inform your customer of until after the fact. While the more extensive check was good, I did not need it nor did I ask for it. I would've gone somewhere else if I had known about the hefty charge.
