My car overheated about a week before Christmas and my regular mechanic couldn't get me in right away so I called BJ's Automotive. They were able to get me in that day and I was able to pick up my car the very next day! They quickly found the issue and clearly explained the repairs I needed. I am glad I took the chance going here. Also Sue at the front was very kind and friendly which was much appreciated considering I was very stressed out when I called. Thank you BJ's Automotive! read more

I've been coming here for a decade and have no complaints. Great people and great prices.

I just realized I also left a 5-star review 11 years ago for BJ's Automotive! I had always been a regular customer and loved the service there! Several years ago I purchased a BMW and was told I needed to take it annually for service at the dealer. And that's what I did year after year paying exorbitant prices and paying for maintenance I didn't even need. I'm so glad that I remembered the excellent service I had always gotten from BJ's Automotive on my previous cars. I decided to give them a call this morning and got to talk to Sue. I remember Sue very well and how helpful she had always been and so very knowledgeable. She got me right in for an oil change, tire rotation, and overall health check of my car. Folks, if you want reliable, quick, thorough, courteous--and most importantly--honest service...this is the place to go. They make you feel like family. Thank you once again, BJ's Automotive! read more

BJ's Automotive took on the job of finding why my Camaro had intermittent starting issues that 2 other automotive places had failed to solve, including a local Chevy dealer. BJ's had my car almost 2 weeks and diligently tried various possible solutions, all the while trying to keep cost down. They were finally able to solve the problem, and I am grateful that I can now safely be on the road again. The owners were diligent, very patient, and kept contact with me throughout the entire process. I additionally found them to be caring individuals when they stressed to me how important it was that I replace my badly worn tires that would likely result in a life-threatening accident. BTW they do not sell tires, so they had nothing to gain. I will be going back again. read more

Outstanding service and reasonably priced. Been taking our vehicles here for 10 years. I won't go anywhere else. Professional, friendly, quality service. read more

We have always owned four cars in our family and have been taking them all to BJ's Automotive for over 20 years. In this time span, they have taken care of at least 10 different vehicles, and in each case they have treated our cars like their own. They know the history of each vehicle better than we do, and in most, if not all cases (even when our cars have been under warranty) their pricing and service is far cheaper and effective. The owners have always put the our best interest first and treated us like family. I wouldn't even think of taking any of our vehicles anywhere else. Superior customer service, superior knowledge and professionalism. read more

The lady at the front desk when I went in was very nice, it was my first time dropping my car off here and it felt very welcoming, they do the services in a quick amount of time, was very nice. Will be coming back again. read more

I've been driving by BJ's for years taking the back way to traffic on LA Ave. my Lexus needed a 55,000m service and Firestone would have taken 10 days as well as a competitor to BJ's to take the car. I called BJ's on Friday and took the car in first thing am Monday. Within an hour the service was complete with recommendations for the next 5000 mile service. They don't compete on price but you get what you pay for. Sue was thorough, patiently explained their business philosophy. I'll take the car to BJ's for my 60,000m service and have them do the brakes. Strongly recommend this shop. Thanks Sue! read more

Dont go here unless you want to be overcharged like three times the rate of every where else! My daughter needed a thermostat replaced.

Sue and the BJ's Automotive team are amazing! The level of communication and commitment to helping me get my vehicle fixed was a Godsend. My vehicle had to be towed to her shop and we communicated via phone the entire time. She was very thorough about my options and diagnosis. I finally got to meet her in person when my vehicle was ready to be picked up. read more

Why wife noticed that her brake pedal was squishy so we frantically looked for a mechanic to fix the issue ASAP. After looking around and reading MANY reviews we decided to go to BJ's Automotive. Sue was able to locate parts to fix her car SAME DAY. Quick service and transparent pricing. Thanks! read more

BJ's is the best place for all your automotive needs. We have been coming here for years and Brad and Sue always make sure to provide quality customer service, repairs, and any other maintenance that may be required. BJ's is truly the best for any and all car needs! read more

This shop is very reliable and honest. High quality service is given. I am very happy that I discovered this business.

Sue at BJ's Automotive is so helpful and knowledgeable. I brought both of my cars in last year and they were able to fix the issues right away. Sue is very patient and explained what was wrong. Recently I needed to do an oil change for both cars so I called to make an appointment the next day and they were able to get everything completed very fast and efficient. Definitely recommend! read more

If you're looking for an auto repair shop that performs great work and is trustworthy, then BJ's is the place for your car repairs. Sue, the owner of BJ's, went above and beyond locating a part that had been discontinued by the auto manufacturer. I don't believe anyone else would have invested the time and energy on behalf of a customer. Had it not been for her goodwill, we would have been faced with purchasing a new vehicle. We can't thank her enough. read more

Another 5 Star Review for this business Sue is always clear with the expectations on any potential inspection on the car. And the work completed on my car provides me with peace of mind I don't ever feel that I am being overcharged as a consumer read more

I contacted BJ's early one morning to have a check engine light reviewed and Sue told me to bring my car in for them to check. It turned out I did not have any problem so no work was done and I wasn't charged a nickel. Very nice people and while I can't comment on any work, I will say I'd have no hesitation going back for a "real" problem. read more

Our family has used BJ's Automotive exclusively for years (and generations!). The most honest automotive shop - and we are always presented with all options and recommendations to keep our cars happy! Thank you Sue & Brad! read more

Just started using BJ's after losing faith in my old mechanics. They fixed a problem with the AC on my wife's Odyssey after we had paid others with unsatisfactory results. I recently had repairs done to my car after hitting an object in the road. Seems like good work done on time. Nice to have someone trustworthy. read more

Sue answered the phone in a very positive manner. I needed a new battery for my BMW and since they were an auto club approved business I chose to contact them. I didn't end up using them only due to timing issues but I was impressed with Sue and the overall experience. Give them a try : ) read more

Great service, open and honest about the process. Super staff at this family owned and operated business in Simi Valley. Recently, I moved to the Valley and now I have found my cars new garage. Sue is very helpful and her husband does great automotive work read more

Took in my Honda Pilot for the first time to get a diagnostic and Sue was very honest and knowledgeable and told me that the dealership may have an extended warranty for the problem I was having. She was right! Since I needed to get another diagnosis at the dealership she was very generous and cut my price of the diagnostic at BJ's. I just found my new and honest auto repair go to!! Thank you Sue and Brad! read more

Had a rat chew the gas line. We had to have the car towed somewhere, and BJ was on the AAA list. They took care of it quickly and did a good job at a fair price. read more

Brought car in for check engine light, which was due to rodent damage to wiring harness. Rather than change me for a new and expensive wiring harness, they repaired the existing harness. Greatly appreciated their honesty and integrity when recommending the repairs. Also brought my wife's car in for electrical issue. They went out of their way to locate the replacement parts at the best price available and recommended alternative options without pressuring me for expensive repairs. Will definitely use them for future repairs and maintenance. Great business! read more

I called BJ's after driving to work and seeing my 'check engine coolant - pull over safely' light come on. I was a few miles from work so I went in. Spoke with Sue when I called and asked if I could pop in at lunch to have my fluid levels checked. She let me know her teams lunch time and said I was welcome to come in for them to take a look. I arrived at the shop at 1:30 and was greeted by Sue. I pulled my car into the stall and both she and one of her mechanics took a look. My level was barely under the full line but they topped it off and filled my washer fluid too! All of this was done as an act of courtesy as they did not 'do anything' really. I absolutely will be back when I need service. I'm always a huge fan of small community based businesses. I hightly recommend based on the exceptional service provided to me. read more

Very responsive and quick service. A fine experience. 2012 RAV4 is good as new. Grateful for their knowledge. Will return whenever necessary. Barbara read more

First and foremost, Sue is phenomenal. She's so lovely, efficient, and consistent with her communication, and made sure I fully understood everything on my bill and every potential issue with my vehicle- which is an achievement, because I am a little hopeless when it comes to cars. This shop's pricing is great, their communication is great, and they're fast and flexible with getting you right back in the road. Onto the details! I initially brought my car in for an oil change and alignment fix. Based on what steering issues I described, Sue let me know up front that it could be something beyond the alignment, and I said that was fine as long as we figured out the problem. The team did an inspection on the car and didn't find anything else wrong with it, just did that alignment fix and changed my oil. The steering issues are completely fixed and the car is working like a dream! I am fully aware that I'm probably an easy target for less honest mechanics, given I don't know much about cars, and they easily could've made up something else wrong and I would've paid for it to be 'fixed.' We also brought in my partner's car, which hasn't gotten maintenance in years and the heat guard got partially ripped off the car in a recent storm. The car is still being fixed as I type this, but I was fully expecting a several thousand dollar maintenance/repair quote after their inspections and diagnostics- and was pleasantly surprised that it ended up being much lower than expected. We've also been having an issue with the TPMS sensors on the car going off constantly (every 2-3 seconds they seem to come online again and warn about bad pressure), and other mechanics have told us there is nothing wrong with it- they reset the sensors and sent us on our way. We mentioned this to Sue, who immediately identified that the sensor batteries were probably dying, based on the car's service record. At our kind of dumbfounded expressions, she went on to patiently explain how tire pressure sensors work and their life cycle, and made a note for the team to take a closer look. I'll do my best to remember and update as I continue to use this shop, but I'm pretty excited to have found a shop that doesn't leave me feeling stupid and my wallet feeling extremely light. read more

If I can give BJ's Automotive and their staff an extra star I would. Their staff and techs are more knowledgeable than the dealership I tried to use. I got a quote for over 3K at the dealership, but with their techs due diligence, they were actually able to resolve the problem for 1/3 of the price! Not to mention Sue kept us updated every step of the way making this process very smooth and stress-free. I definitely will be coming back, this is my new shop in the area without a doubt. I highly recommend BJ's automotive if you want a honest shop. read more

Fixed my oil leak and haven't had an issue since, they do a good job and do it quickly.

My family has been going to BJ's Automotive for years because they are the best! They always do great work on our cars whenever an issue comes up. They have reasonable prices, too. 5 out of 5 stars! read more

I have been dealing with BJ's for years. They are amazing!! I never felt taken advantage of. Sue is honest, thorough and hard working. Their prices can't be beat. I trust BJ's for all of my car needs. I highly recommend checking them out. read more

I've been taking and trusting my vehicles with BJ's Automotive for about 25 years. Sue, Brad and their crew have been consistently professional and honest with every new, used, and beat up cars that I've brought to them. When purchasing vehicles for family, they've given me both a thumbs up or down on going thru with purchases... which has saved me sooo much headache and money. Love this place and these people, hope they are around for another 25 year! read more

I have a 1998 BMW Z3 and the windows were sticking. I checked with many auto repair shops to see if they could fix the issue which I knew was that the rails for the window lube dried out after 25 years. The lady at BJ's was extremely helpful and friendly. She suggested that I use silicone lube spray down into the windows and see if that helps. It did!!! This saved big bucks, time and a lot of related issues. I highly recommend BJ Automotive on Donally st in Simi Valley. Great deal of integrity. read more

Couldn't ask for better service! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and does an amazing job diagnosing, explaining and repairing issues. We needed a tune up for our commuter so we brought our car in and had it checked out. Sue and the staff were extremely helpful in explaining the repairs needed and also notified us of a potential transmission issue. They gave us a heads up of what to look out for and a schedule of when to bring it in and have it checked again. They easily could of done the transmission work, but they were honest and knew it would be covered under our warranty with Subaru. Sue helped us contact Subaru to make sure the work would be covered. Sure enough it was! Saved us hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in repairs. Sue and the team have us as customers for life! Wouldn't go anywhere else in Simi Valley! read more

I considered BJ's Automotive because they are a AAA certified shop. After reading the reviews, I took my Subaru Outback there for service. I took my last receipt from the dealer who did an oil change and then wanted to do a list of repairs. After checking over the car, none of the listed repairs were necessary and I will return to BJ's Automotive when I need service. Sue was very communicative and the technician was also very nice. I feel I received quality service and a good value. read more

Took My 2002 Dodge Durango in for loud Clunking noise from the front end. In less than an hour found and corrected issue for about 175.00. Front desk was great no issues. read more

Sue was and is instrumental in supporting me to get a simple battery under warranty with AAA installed. My car was towed yesterday to BJ's & the interim support to deal with warranty issues (AAA is the problem), yet we were able to handle my issue to complete satisfaction. Thank you, Thank you, Sue, for the hand-holding in the administrative & technical issues of this weird experience! read more

If you are searching for a mechanic that is HONEST, this is the place! Took my 2019 Camry in that had a check engine light on and car was overheating. Sue took the time to investigate the root cause and found out it was the water pump and even found out it was still under warranty! Sue even took the time to contact the dealer and made sure they will be honoring the warranty and set me up with a contact person at the dealership. I wasn't even charged for anything! Definitely will recommend BJ's Automotive to friends and family! Thank you!! read more
