Auto Mechanic Services for Santa Susana Knolls, Simi Valley
Family-owned, ASE Certified auto repair just minutes from Santa Susana Knolls. Honest diagnostics, transparent pricing, and a 2-Year/24,000-Mile warranty on every repair.
Santa Susana Knolls sits on the east end of Simi Valley, tucked into the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains. The community has its own distinct feel: hilly, semi-rural in places, with winding streets and views of the mountains that the rest of the valley does not get. It is also one of the more fire-aware parts of Simi Valley, sitting right in the path of past Santa Ana wind events.
Perry's Quality Auto Repair is roughly 10 minutes west on Los Angeles Avenue and First Street from Santa Susana Knolls. We have been Simi Valley's family-owned auto mechanic since 2000, and we know the patterns of wear that hilly, fire-prone neighborhoods like the Knolls put on a vehicle.
Local Driving Routes from Santa Susana Knolls to Our Shop

- Los Angeles Avenue west toward our shop
What We See in Santa Susana Knolls Vehicles
Santa Susana Knolls cars deal with two patterns most of Simi does not. The grades on Kuehner Drive and the surrounding hill streets put extra wear on brakes and cooling systems. And the wildfire risk along the Santa Susana foothills means cars in this area collect more ash and smoke residue during fire season than the rest of the valley. We see both patterns weekly. After events like the Sandy Fire or Woolsey Fire, an engine and cabin air filter check is a smart move.

Lots of trucks and SUVs given the terrain: Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner, Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Ram 1500, plus family vehicles like Subaru Outback, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander. We work on all of them.
