Auto Mechanic Serving Rancho Simi and Historic Simi Valley
Family-owned, ASE Certified auto repair just minutes from Rancho Simi. Honest diagnostics, transparent pricing, and a 2-Year/24,000-Mile warranty on every repair.
The Rancho Simi area covers some of the original heart of Simi Valley, anchored by the Rancho Simi Recreation district and the historic Strathearn Park area. It is where Simi Valley really started, and many families on these streets have been here for two or three generations. Perry's Quality Auto Repair has been serving this part of the valley since 2000, which means a lot of our regulars in Rancho Simi have been bringing cars to us long enough that we now work on their kids' first cars.
Auto repair in this part of Simi Valley has its own character. The streets are older, the trees are bigger, and the homes were built in eras when cars were simpler. That mix of older and newer vehicles is part of why a real mechanic, one who can work on a 1998 Camry and a 2024 RAV4 with equal skill, matters so much around here.

What We See in Rancho Simi Vehicles
The Rancho Simi area is dense with everyday driving: school drop-offs, runs to Simi Valley Town Center, weekend trips to Rancho Simi Community Park or the Strathearn Historical Museum. That stop-and-go pattern is harder on brakes, transmission fluid, and AC compressors than highway driving. We see it in the wear patterns and we know how to address it before it becomes a tow-truck problem.

Frequently Asked Questions from Rancho Simi Customers
Since 2000. We are a family-owned, ASE Certified shop, and a meaningful share of our customer base lives in or near the Rancho Simi area. Many of those customers have been with us for over a decade.
Yes. Our technicians have been doing this long enough to remember when most cars had carburetors and no computer at all. We service vehicles from the 1970s onward, and we have the diagnostic equipment for newer models too.
We are a STAR Certified Smog Check repair facility. If your car fails a smog test, we can diagnose and fix it. Many shops can only do the test, not the repair, so this is often where Rancho Simi customers come after a failed inspection.
We give a written estimate before any repair starts. Nothing gets done without your approval, and our diagnostic fee applies toward the repair if you choose to have us do the work.
