Auto Mechanic Serving the Texas Tract, Simi Valley
Family-owned, ASE Certified auto repair just minutes from Texas Tract. Honest diagnostics, transparent pricing, and a 2-Year/24,000-Mile warranty on every repair.
The Texas Tract is one of Simi Valley's classic established neighborhoods, sitting in the northeastern part of the city with quiet streets named for southwestern states. The homes mostly date to the 1960s and 70s, and the neighborhood has the kind of mature trees and well-kept yards that come with that era of Simi Valley development.
Perry's Quality Auto Repair is just 5 to 8 minutes from most Texas Tract homes, west on Cochran Street to First Street, then south to our shop. We have been the local auto mechanic since 2000, and we have plenty of Texas Tract regulars whose cars we have been servicing for years.
Local Driving Routes from Texas Tract to Our Shop
Most Texas Tract customers reach our shop using one of these routes:

What We See in Texas Tract Vehicles
Texas Tract is in the part of Simi Valley closest to the 118 freeway, which means a lot of residents commute east toward the San Fernando Valley or west toward Moorpark and Camarillo. Daily freeway driving is actually one of the easier patterns for a car (steady speeds, less brake wear) but it does run up oil change intervals on mileage faster than around-town driving. We see Texas Tract cars hit oil change milestones quicker than the average.
Common Vehicles We Service in Texas Tract
A wide cross-section: Toyota and Honda commuters, Ford and Chevy trucks, plenty of Subarus, plus the occasional BMW or Mercedes. The Texas Tract turn-over is steady but slow, so we see cars from every decade since the 1990s in the lot at one point or another.

Frequently Asked Questions from Texas Tract Customers
Most modern cars on synthetic oil are good for 7,500 to 10,000 miles regardless. Heavy stop-and-go traffic, like the worst stretches of the 118 at rush hour, is technically severe service and can shorten that. Check your owner's manual and bring it in if you are not sure.
That is almost always a CV axle, specifically the boot tearing and the joint losing grease. If you catch it early, we can sometimes replace just the boot. If it has been going on a while, it usually needs the full axle. Either way, get it looked at before the joint fails completely.
Yes, with a modern alignment rack. After hitting a bad pothole on Cochran or coming back from the freeway, an alignment check is a smart move. It also makes tires last longer.
