Auto Mechanic Services for Thousand Oaks Drivers
Family-owned, ASE Certified auto repair just minutes from Thousand Oaks. Honest diagnostics, transparent pricing, and a 2-Year/24,000-Mile warranty on every repair.
Thousand Oaks is a city of about 130,000 just over the hills from Simi Valley, anchored by The Oaks shopping center, California Lutheran University, and a long list of corporate headquarters along the 101. Many Thousand Oaks residents commute, drive luxury vehicles, and look for an alternative to dealer service that does not feel like a step down.
Perry's Quality Auto Repair is about 20 to 25 minutes from most of Thousand Oaks, north on the 23 freeway to the 118, then east a few exits. We have been Simi Valley's family-owned auto mechanic since 2000, and our European import service plus dealer-level diagnostic equipment make us a regular destination for Thousand Oaks customers.
