Needed to get my brakes done. Called the day before and I dropped my car off the next morning. Took about 4 hours and was very reasonable. I will definitely come back for other mechanic needs. They are very honest and I appreciate that!! 5 stars for sure. Plus, I don't have to deal with the shady folks at the dealership that always find *more* things wrong w my car. Thanks Steve's Auto! read more

Steve and his team were very kind to take us in thanksgiving weekend. My car was making noise and shaking, and I've had bad experiences with the dealer and various other mechanics in the past, so my husband found Steve on Yelp and called the shop and Steve answered and told us to come on over. In less than a day, Steve ordered the part from the dealer and installed it the next day, it was ready for pick up. His prices are fair and reasonable. Steve is a very honest person and it's rare to find good people with a good heart that you can trust. We will refer all friends and family to Steve for all car needs. read more

Back in February my husband and I took Silverado for a broken break line and sensor repair. After getting thee run around from 2 other shops, he located problem, assessed cost and completed works in timely manner. He even recognized another error from previous mechanic and repaired. All his work was priced fair and well communicated all the labor and parts. We recently went back for separate issue and again found issue, gave referral and reassured could get done. Definitely will make this a permanent spot on our list and refer any future friends or family to this shop. Grateful for his time and work. read more

What a gem! I had a job that I thought couldn't be done. My husband's Dodge Ram's dash board completely broke apart, due to age. I wanted to give him something special for our 20th Wedding Anniversary. I happened across Steve's Automotive and they far exceeded my hope and expectations. Steve, and Wes, put in a new dash and did some other repairs as well. Very professional, the quality was spectacular and the price was more than fair. He actually came in lower than the quote. Both my husband and I are thrilled with the results. I am so glad I found these guys! I highly recommend! read more

I took my car to Steve's Auto, because it had Spongee brakes and I had already taken my car to the same person that did my brakes to bleed them. Steve's auto changed the Master Cylinder but didn't fix the issue. He wanted to change another part. But I decided to take it somewhere else. read more

I've known and have been taking my vehicles to Steve's Automotive Services since the mid 80's. Steve is very professional, honest and provides quality work at a reasonable price. If you are looking for an honest mechanic, take your vehicle to Steve's. read more

Steve is the best! He is honest and will be upfront with you about any issues your vehicle is having. Price is fair, he will never overcharge you and never makes repairs before he gets permission from you. Busy place because they do great work but they still get the work done in a timely manner. Great place, so happy my family recommended his shop! read more

Absolutely rude and does not listen. I was referred to Steve's and called last week to see when they had availability for an inspection for my ford e450 triton v10 6.8l. Steve insists it's diesel 3 times over the course of our conversation and I keep telling him it's gas. Tells me to bring it in Tuesday morning. I pull in and he asks "what the hell he's supposed to do with that (van)" and claimed I didn't tell him what it was and said he assumed it was a truck. Speaks for itself here, apparently didn't even know what an e450 was and gave me attitude for it. It's one thing to not have the space to service it, I understand that, but it's another to be rude and unprofessional. There's clearly either something going on in his personal life he has yet to get a grip on by how upset he got by this situation despite him not going out of his way at all as we spoke for a minute tops, or he's simply just an angry old man. read more

I needed the oil changed in my car and I called up the shop and they took me right away. My mechanic, Dalton, worked quickly and, while waiting for an oil filter to be delivered, he searched around for a "jingling" sound that had been plaguing my car since I picked it up from a body shop 6 months ago after I was rear-ended. I can't tell you how EXCITED I was when he discovered that the control arm on the rear driver's side hadn't been properly tightened. I had someone from the body shop check my car for that sound TWICE in the past 6 months and they couldn't figure it out! So grateful that Dalton took the time to search around and find the source. I'm very impressed by how thorough and persistent he is! read more

I recently went to Steve's Automotive for a steering pump for my Subaru , I was recommended him by a friend who told me he dose very good work. I took my Subaru Outback to him and the service was great !!! Very friendly, honest service. I would totally recommend Steves Automotive for any car issues. My Subaru was fixed in a day. Thank you Steve for your great work. read more

Had my car in for service. Ordered some inside door handles online and asked them to replace the handles. The handles go in with one screw and a clip. Could change a handle 5 minutes tops. Labor is 65.00 per half hour. I was charged 260.00 for 2 hours. Don't trust anyone. read more

Steve, in Simi Valley, California, took good care of my car for several years. When we have cars, we need to trust someone to help taking care of them. For me, that was and still is in that area, Steve. read more

Awesome service. Fair, honest and helpful. Quick work and quality job. Very good price. Thanks Steve & Wes!

Steve, the owner, is the most honest person I've ever dealt with. When I had an oil change at another auto repair shop, they said I needed to have my rack and pinion replaced at a cost of more than $1000. After Steve examined the part, he said that, not only that it doesn't have to be replaced, it can go another 100k miles. I wish there are more people like Steve in this world. read more

This review is long overdue. I own a local business just down the street from them. They work on three of my vehicles along with all of my employees vehicles. Their prices are always better than the other local shops and the quality of their work along with great customer service has been their standard. It's nice to know that we have a local shop that we can always count on. read more

The customer service and professionalism of this shop is the best I have ever experienced, would highly recommend them!

Steve the owner is probably the most honest guy you could meet. He has worked on all of my vehicles and has always given me great service at a very fair price. He has helped me keep my favorite Chevy pickup truck running like a clock. It is 20 years old and has over 260,000 miles on it. Been a regular customer for over 10 years! If you need a vehicle repaired give Steve a call. You will be glad you did! read more

Steve is very honest. He is a great mechanic and does not over charge. I definitely recommend him

Honest, friendly, and fair pricing. I am so grateful for Steve's. I call ahead to see if he can fit me into his schedule, the shop always seems busy, and I have typically taken my car in first thing in the morning. I have had oil changes done here and I'm pretty sure my new transmission is from here. My dad took my car to get some quotes and Steve's auto was literally thousands less than other places. Just recently Check Engine light was on and Steve checked what it was and had me driving my car outta the shop in probably 15 min. He's very casual so it makes me feel comfortable. I get so worried that my car is just going to fall apart soon and I won't be able to afford repairs, but Steve's relaxed nature and his honest work brings me comfort. I truly appreciate his work. read more

Great mechanic! Went a few places and got quoted crazy amounts of money. I came to Steve, he fixed the problem at half the price of the other quotes. My car has been running great! read more

Drove into town with my family from Phoenix yesterday. In the middle of our trip, engine light popped up not long after acceleration problems. Unsettling feeling knowing we had another 200 mi to go to reach our destination and drive back after the weekend. My Pops directed me to Viwat's at Japanese Auto. He diagnosed he problem but said he couldn't work on this type of vehicle. He recommended I take it to Steve'a who said he would check it out and squeeze it in his already busy schedule. Steve took care of the fixes and charged a fair price for the repairs. Amazing customer service that you don't often (or ever) see from dealership shops. Solid! read more

Finding a trust worthy and honest auto service person, can be quite nerve wrecking. I'm always worried that I will be taken advantage of. I've been taking my cars to Steve's for a few years now and he has always been fair in his pricing and in the work he performed. I trust Steve and his team to do quality work and not gouge me on price. I would recommend him to family and friends. read more

We have a Toyota Sequoia and Prius that i have always taken to Viwat over at Japanese Auto Repair. He does a great job, but doesn't work on Silverados. Viwat recommended that I take my Silverado in to Steve. I've taken the Silverado in to Steve and his team a few times, and they have done a great job. Every time I deal with Steve I really feel like I am getting a very fair price. He is a very honest guy, and it shows. Great friendly service, good guys to deal with, and fair prices -- overall I highly recommend. read more

I have been taking my car(s) to Steve for about 6 years and I have always found Steve to honest, trustworthy and very reliable. Steve and his team do quality work, at a fair price. I have recommended Steve to many of my friends and all have had the same, great experience that I have. read more

Steve is a vanishing breed, a truly honest and extremely competent mechanic. My little Honda had a blown head gasket, got some estimates around Simi, everything from just a thermostat to the engine has to be completely rebuilt. Took it to Steve, he analyzed it and gave his estimate that was 1/3 to 1/2 the $$ of the other popular so called mechanics, that are really just in it for the $$. If you need some auto repairs, get some estimates and definitely get one from Steve, you will be very impressed with his price and his work. I'm 76, and have owned many cars, and Steve is by far the greatest mechanic I've had the pleasure to just leave my cars with, no questions asked. read more

Steve is rad. My car broke down a while ago and I had it towed to a different shop in Thousand Oaks. There they told me I needed to replace the crankshaft, timing belt, and tensioner which would end up costing upwards of $900, even though I had the belt and tensioner replaced a year prior. They were totally gouging me. I took it to Steve and he informed me that the only thing that needed replacing was the crankshaft, and he did just that. Saved me $650!! They are honest and reliable, and the reasonable prices will keep me coming back for years! 10/10! read more

Steve was referred to me by a friend, and it turns out I was able leave my car with him and walk to work, so I gave him a try. That was 5 years ago, and I will never take my cars to anyone else. I've never met a more knowledgable,honest, and service oriented mechanic than Steve. He never does work that isn't absolutely necessary, and his prices are more than reasonable. Steve is one of a kind, and I highly recommend him and his team. read more

Steve has been in business for a long time. He has never over charged me or offered a lack in service. His technicians are always skilled and personable. It's great service at a fair price. Plain and simple. Thank you to Steve and his entire staff for always taking care of me and my car. read more

Wow, what can I say. These guys are the best in the industry. Not only do they do the best work possible it is at the best price. If there is one business that takes honesty and integrity to the next level it is Steve and his entire staff. All Uber drivers need to go here. If you want quality work at an affordable price Look No Further. Absolutely amazing work and customer service. Kind regards, Shawn Lawrence read more

I was recommended to Steve, and was very very disappointed in their service. I brought in my car in and it was serviced to a tune of $450.00 dollars without taking care of the problem. I went back two additional time and they just erased the computer message and told me it would take some time for the computer to clear the message, but that my car was fine. Wrong! read more

Jerry H. This is the only auto repair service I use in Simi Valley. Steve is honest and very reasonably priced. Recently I took my Honda Pilot in for a 100K service, (timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt). About two weeks later my car began to make a knocking sound so we took it back in. It was the timing belt tensioner making the noise. Steve replaced the tensioner and did not even charge me for the part or the work because he said "we should have changed it out when we did the timing belt but didn't, we thought it was okay". So, to his credit, he changed it for free!!! You don't get that kind of honest service very often so when you do, it warrants a review! read more

Ok my first review and rightfully it's about Steve's. Been going to these guys for dozen yrs and bringing all the family cars. They have been foreign and American, old and new. I been dealing with mechanics for over 40 yrs and trusted none more. Have referred others and they have been great with my family and friends. Been times he has told me no charge, been times he couldnt find the part for my old Jeep that they could of just said "can't do it" but they manufactured something specially to make things work. Every one I have dealt with there has been very cordial and freindly. The botton line is the reason they are my first referral is I don't think there is a business around I trust more! read more

Steve's is the absolute best repair shop in Simi Valley. I brought my wife's Honda Accord in today for new brakes and a battery. Steve checked it out and discovered that I didn't need the brakes done or a new battery. He is 100% honest and fair. He sent me on my way free of charge. He won't repair or replace anything if it doesn't truly need it. What a great guy! read more

If you are having car problems please don't come here! I wouldn't recommend this place to an enemy.. I bet they couldn't fix a hot wheels car! read more

I was referred to Steve's automotive by a friend. I took my 1999 Toyota Tacoma truck in with a exhaust leak and in need of some brake work. They were prompt to diagnose the problem, offer suggestions, and explain some various options. It is hard to find a mechanic that is local, has references and that is reasonably priced. The shop does a good job and takes time to talk with you. I highly recommend Steve's. read more

This place cannot be seen from the road. It's in an alley off Easy street. There is a reason a place that doesn't get any visual business from people just driving by, is still in business. I've taken several cars there and recommended friends. A couple of times the cost for a repair was too much (no fault of the mechanic's), and there was no charge for the diagnostic. At least once, I was given a break on the price of repairs. Other prices have been very fair (brakes for example). Yes, I trust this mechanic. read more

I have never taken my car to a mechanic that I have trusted as well as Steve. He has quickly and accurately been able to diagnose all of my (extended) family's cars and treated everyone fairly. The shop is old fashioned in that you write your name and number down on a spiral bound notebook and he'll call you with a diagnostic or to tell you when he's done. He is extremely fair, extremely honest, and just a decent guy. I highly recommend him! read more
