Mike, Shannon and their staff are the best. Not only do they work on my rides, they have worked on my family and friends' as well. They answer all your questions with honesty, give great advice and are always cool and friendly!! read more

Mike, Shannon, and the rest of the shop are outstanding. I refuse to go anywhere else, and will always refer friends and family. Thanks Shortees for being an honest fair and extremely helpful shop!! read more

I'm moving from Simi Valley and I wish there was a mechanic here in San Fran that I could trust as well as I do Mike. He is honest (sometimes too honest: "You need to get rid of this money trap ASAP.") and I know he is not out to rip me off. The only thing is, I never get called. I always have to call them, I assume because my car isn't fun to work on. But I would trade that any day for any other mechanic, most of whom see me as a pair of boobs and a checkbook. All in all, Shortees does quality work backed by guarantee, they're not out to make a mint off of you, and they'll tell it to you straight. read more

I have been taking my cars to Shortees for years. Great Service, Great Prices. There have been times where they found things that were covered by Warranty or recall and sent me to the dealer to save me money. read more

The shop is owned by a husband and wife (Mike and Shannon) team, and are very accommodating. One day I was at the shop with my 18 month old daughter, and Shannon took us home and picked us up when my car was done a few hours later. They're honest with what needs to be done with my car, the prices are fair, and they don't try to sell me on unnecessary repairs. They will also look at your car to try to diagnose a problem, and won't charge you for it. I won't take my car anywhere else! =) read more

I've been taking my car to Shortees for the last 10 years . They are very profesional and a fare price . Also they give you options to resolve the problems w the vehicle read more

I've taken my car to them for years. I don't even live in Simi anymore but every couple months when I visit I'll make an appt for an oil change and just to say hi. The team at Shortees is great. Super friendly. Mike and Shannon really take care of you. I totally trust them with my car. I even had a big repair that needed to be done and waited til the next time I'd be in Simi to have it done by them. Mike is great about explaining any car questions to me. Cause I know nothing about cars! And I really appreciate his honesty. I recommend them to all my friends in Simi and will continue too! read more

Beware, if you care! These people were very nice. My experience speaking with them was positive. However they are identified as the engine installer of choice by Jasper engines. This is an engine remanufacturer of some notable reputation. WWW.jasperengines.com . My need is for a 2006 5.4 3V Triton engine. The people at Shortee's will only install an engine from Galpin Ford. Galpin Ford does not supply remanufactured engines. This is an issue as the Ford Triton is one of the best engines ever designed but it , like many things, has weak points. Galpin purchases engines from a company that buys surplus manufacturing. More engines than used in production. The engine recommended for my job would have been 10 years in storage. Fine by not with any engineering corrections. As long as Shortee's provides a warranty for the "soft" parts ok...go for it. Fuel injectors, break in oils and grease all deteriorate with disuse over time. It is a huge problem for military.Other than that fine. I just pass on 10,000 dollar job. read more

Mike, Shannon and the crew are top notch. Honest and informative without trying to force you into needless maintenance. Fair and knowledgeable on all makes of vehicles. Always my first choice. read more

I was getting ready to do a road trip from So. Cal to northern Washington state in my 2009 Z71 Silverado, I was having an annoying noise in the front end when I reached 45 mph. I took it to Shortee's to have them do an inspection and repair of anything that may be wrong with the truck. After inspection we found that one of the front axle boots was torn and leaking out grease, along with a bad wheel bearing. Thinking this was the problem that I was hearing in the front end, repairs were done and i was on my way. Unfortunately the sound was still there and Mike requested I bring it back, So I did and Mike started extensive trouble shooting, from removing axles, swapping out bearings, checking the transfer case, transmission and more on his dime. A couple of days before I was to leave Mike called me and said I found the problem, he ordered a new drive shaft with a CV joint, installed it the night before my trip and my truck was running smooth as silk. Mike went the extra mile to get my truck back on the road and also gave me a secure peace of mind all the up into northern Washington and back home to So. Cal. Go see Mike at Shortee's he will do you right! read more

Simi Ford said that both batteries and the alternator had gon bad in my Diesel and the repair cost was gonna be $900+. I said now way and had them give me a jump and drove it strait over to shortees. In less than 24hrs and under $200 i was back on the road. Shortees was recommended to me by a good friend and they are everything that he had described them to be...honest, professional and all around good QUALITY people. read more

Great Local Auto Repair shop. Honest Honest Honest!! I was in palm springs and the suv was overheating. Managed to nurse it home and brought it in to Shortees. Not only did they handle the problem they shopped for the part and saved me an addtional $300 by finding it at a lower priced vendor. After the repair I called around to several shops and found they where right on and I saved over $750 on the repair versus the other shops in Town. I now take all my vehicles in to shortees! Rich read more

Mike and his team have done several auto repairs for me over the last couple years, everything from oil changes, electrical, engine rebuilds to clutch replacement. He has always been honest and accurate about the diagnosis, and even went above and beyond to make sure that everything was done right. Their prices are always fair and reasonable. I have been ripped off and lied to from other local shops such as Perry's quality auto. I will always recommend Shortees Automotive. Keep up the good work guys. read more

I am in my '60's and we have been going to Shortees since shortly after they opened when Mike and Jeff were partners. I know of no other shop in Simi who I trust more than Shortees. More than once I have gone to Mike asking him for his diagnosis, once, for example, on my '04 Corvette, when he told me that the problem had a recall several years back. He suggested that I go back to the dealer, as they MIGHT stand behind the "past due" re-call, and in fact YES, they did! This repair would have cost me over $1,800! This is just ONE example of how Mike takes care of his customers. I have referred several friends, and they have saved big time by working with Mike instead of the dealer. Honesty and integrity.... They are not the "cheap guy", but they are surely the "honest and reliable" guys to look to for all of your Automotive needs...Thanks Mike & Shannon! read more

This company operates the way we do. I have been in business over 40-yrs and thought we were one of the last family business that puts the customer ahead of the bottom line. I was wrong. Shortee's is better than us. They are fabulous. I brought two of our vehicles in with my assumption of what was wrong and what needed to be done. Both times I missed it. They fixed the problems and the vehicles are running like they were new. Their prices are to low. I feel guilty paying them for so much work. They don't realize how good they are. I recognize when someone loves what they do. read more

Mike is a awesome mechanic, I took him my truck about 1 year ago. It was a older 7.3 Ford diesel with a strange misfire problem. I am a service manager of a automotive import repair shop, but we are not equipped to work on these trucks. He struggled with diagnosing it just like I did before I brought it to him. He was very thorough with his diagnosis, kept me in the loop, and charged me fairly for the amount of work he did. He did not shotgun the problem like a lot of other shops would have. If you want a expert, call Mike or Shannon at Shortees. They also have a easy night drop. read more

Absolutely horrible! Everyone thinks Mike is an honest and great mechanic, he is not! Mike is nothing but a jackass who is not responsible or accountable. We took our Jeep there for some emission work due to his "good reputation". Well, the Jeep ran for two weeks after his "repairs". It was driving awfully strange afterwards, but we did not think to question Shortees. Our Jeep has been out of commission for 9 months since with a blown head. When we tried to go back and approach Mike, we mentioned our Jeep to the secretary. She talked to him "while on his lunch" and said, "He is having lunch. You can tell me your question and I will ask him." The jackass refused to come out and approach us, the customer, because he knows he was wrong and ruined our perfectly beautiful vehicle. He won't stand up for his work and he doesn't know how to treat a customer. In all honesty, I do not recommend for anyone to visit this shop. I do highly recommend Cars Etc. run by Ernie in Thousand Oaks or Mark's Auto Repair in Canoga Park. They are honest, fair, and they know how to treat a customer. read more

Since posting my initial review, I have taken him my Ford Mustang as well. He was able to fix in a matter of hours a problem that had plagued my car for months that another mechanic could not figure out. (Went somewhere else because my dad wanted to pay for it so I kinda had to go with who he wanted.) These guys are awesome. Don't hesitate, have them do your repairs. read more

I have brought my cars to Shortee's three times now and I am so impressed with both Shannon and Mike. Their repair prices have been fair and most importantly they are honest. With so many stories out there of unneeded car repairs out there it is wonderful to know that I can trust them. read more

They're the best around. Honest people and extremely fair. Mike wont sell it to you if you dont need it. You cant ask for better customer service! I've been bringing my vehicles here for a few years now and they will have all of my future business as well. read more

Highly recommend very professional took time to explain and answer all my questions and concerns. I would go back if needed for any repairs, very reasonable. read more

Been coming to this shop for years with all of my family's cars. Honest work at a fair price which is hard to find these days. They tell you what the car needs or doesn't need then they let you decide what to do. read more

Recommended by a friend several years ago...we have been happy customers since then. Repairs to both our Honda Odyssey and Chevrolet Suburban have been done in a timely manor and very fair prices. Mike and Shannon are always courteous and honest and have a wonderful business here. We do not take our cars anywhere else for repairs and have recommended Shortee's to family and friends. read more
