Why Perry's Is The Auto Repair Shop Simi Valley Refers
There are over forty auto repair shops in Simi Valley. Most do honest work. A few do not. Picking the right shop saves you thousands of dollars over the life of your vehicle and protects you from the upsell games chain shops play. Here is what makes Perry's different from the average shop on Los Angeles Avenue or Cochran Street.
Family owned since 1997
We are not a corporate chain answering to quarterly profit targets. Perry built this shop, and Perry still answers when you call. Twenty five years of repeat customers, generation to generation, tells you everything about how we treat people.
2-Year / 24,000-Mile nationwide warranty
Most Simi Valley shops give you 90 days or 12 months. We give you 2 full years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes later, valid at over 17,000 partner shops nationwide. If a covered repair fails inside that window, we fix it on us. Ask any other shop on Los Angeles Ave to match that.
ASE Certified, AAA Approved
Every technician at Perry's holds active ASE certifications. We also maintain AAA Approved Auto Repair status, which requires regular shop audits and customer satisfaction verification. Few independent shops in Simi Valley hold both.
Free brake, AC, and battery inspections
Most shops charge $89 to $149 for an inspection. Ours are free, year round, no obligation. We tell you what your car needs, what it does not, and what it will cost before we touch a wrench. Check engine light diagnostics are $129 and credited toward any repair you authorize.
Factory level diagnostics, independent shop pricing
We invest in OEM diagnostic scan tools for BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Volkswagen, and most Asian and domestic makes. You get dealer level diagnostic capability without dealer pricing. Most jobs run 30 to 50 percent less than the dealer for the same factory work.
Honest answers, even when they cost us money
If a repair can safely wait six months, we will tell you. If your car needs work we cannot do well, we refer you out. If your dealer told you that you need a $2,000 repair you do not actually need, we will tell you that too. Trust is the only reason customers come back for 28 years.

How To Pick An Auto Repair Shop in Simi Valley
If you have ever felt taken advantage of by a shop, you are not alone. Use this checklist whether you choose Perry's or another shop.
- Check ASE certification. Ask if every technician working on your car is ASE Certified, not just one master tech. Real shops will show you.
- Verify the warranty in writing. A real warranty is at least 12 months or 12,000 miles. Anything shorter is a red flag.
- Read recent Google reviews carefully. Look at the 1 and 2 star reviews. The shop's response tells you everything about how they treat unhappy customers.
- Get the diagnosis explained. A good mechanic shows you the failed part, explains why it failed, and shows you what they replaced. If a shop will not, walk away.
- Get a second quote on jobs over $1,000. Any honest shop respects a second opinion on big tickets.
- Ask about loaner cars or shuttle service. Family owned shops that care about repeat business often offer this.
- Look for AAA Approved Auto Repair status. AAA audits these shops and requires customer satisfaction follow ups.
