Looking for a new mechanic to maintaine service on my Acura and looks like I found one. Most important thing for me is to be able to feel I can trust my mechanic and I believe I can with Schneiders. I was having problems with my car Christmas thinking it was the alternator. I was a new customer and they still fitted me in the day I called. Fixed the car and cost was what I had expected. They did a check on the car to give me a list of items I may want to look into getting maintained but said it was not needed Immediately and just wanted to advise. No pressure. I will be going back and hope to

This was my first time servicing my car outside the dealership, and Joe was a true professional, as he first had my QX50 checked before automatically performing unnecessary services recommended at 30K. Ken (the owner) was kind enough to drop me home while the car was in the shop, as was Joe, who picked me up when car was ready. I will be back for future servicing and highly recommend Schneider's Automotive in Simi Valley.

I already left a review after my first visit because my check engine light is on and it was a knock sensor, and they supposedly fixed it except within hours the check engine light came back on and the guy at my work checked the code and it was still the knock sensor. Plus, they broke my heater core. So I went back last Monday, 8/23/21, a week ago and showed them the code and said that they need to fix it and fix my heater core too because they broke it. The mechanic Joe told me that it won't go well for me if I accuse him of breaking my heater core, which Schmeider's did break it. Well

We took our truck to a different shop twice and the problem was still not fixed. I did an online search for someone specializing in Ford. I called Schneider's and made an appointment. These guys were great. Ken and Joe explained what they would do. Then called with the diagnosis and the cost. Everything turned out great. This is where we will return for any work in the future, Thanks guys.

I can't tell you how thrilled I was to have my a/c fail in the middle of July! Not just kinda fail, we are major event fail...grrrr. So, who was I going to call? Joe at Schneider's Automotive Repair of! Course!
Did I mention I had one of those dreaded, OMG what was I thinking, car warranty policies? Joe patiently took care of dealing with the insurance company, saying only a few naughty words as he waited 40 minutes on hold several times.
He helped me so much and was so gracious and above all patient. I can't tell you grateful I am to know that they are there, it's kind

Huge thanks to manager Joe and technician Danny for completely doing a lot of overdue work under budget and ahead of schedule. Their photo estimate reports provide factual basis for customers to make informed decisions. I worked decades in auto repair biz, I won’t go anywhere else from now on. And thanks Paula!

I was visiting from out of town when I had car issues, the situation was very stressful and I was super anxious that my transmission was ruined. This shop squeezed me in same day, when all of the Jeep dealerships couldn't see me until the end of the week.
Ken was very helpful and explained everything to me, the prices were reasonable and I trusted what they told me.
Only con was the the diagnostic fee DID NOT go towards the work I had done and it took them quite awhile to diagnose my car.
Overall though, I would recommend going here and if I ever have issues again when I'm in this

So these few 1 star reviews made me bit cautious taking my car to Schneiders, but I'm glad I did. Extremely positive experience. Took in my Range Rover for an oil change. Pricing was in-line with other Indy shops, but what you get in return is way more. They used the higher grade of Oil. Usually shops use the lower end of the allowed range to save few bucks, but at Schneiders they went by whatever dealer would have used. My car got somewhat detailed visual inspection, with pictures, notes and recommendations. All got posted on line, and I got a link to review everything. It was more detailed

Schneider's isn't worth your time. I brought my vehicle in for a door lock issue; after a few days, I picked it up. I took 3 seconds to check that the locks now worked--the problem wasn't even fixed! Did they even bother retesting the issue to see if it was resolved before trying to charge me for their "service?" Evidently not.
Schneider's doesn't give the time and attention your vehicle deserves. Simi has plenty of mechanics; do yourself a favor and pick a different one.
Side note. They also don't take COVID seriously. Office staff only wear masks when

Schneider's auto took a negative experience and went above and beyond to do their best to rectify it.
They listened to my negative feedback and addressed every point I brought up to:
1. Help me to understand fully the issues
2. Make sure I was satisfied and as happy as I could be with the end result
3. Prove they care about ME and
4. Make a lifetime customer out of me.
Have an open dialogue with them and voice all of your concerns questions apprehensions and situations. They care and they will help you the best way they can.

Paid $140 for a six quart oil change. That price is a bit steep, but that's not why I'm leaving two stars. They said they were going to do a free bumper to bumper inspection of the vehicle. They came back to me with over $2000 of recommended services. I sensed they were trying to throw me for a loop so I took my vehicle to a mechanic I trust. He gave my vehicle an ACTUAL bumper to bumper inspection and determined than none of the items Schneider's recommended needed actual service (with the exception of the air filter).
Schneider's did not do an actual inspection and instead

This shop is a hidden treasure! Schneiders is hands down the best auto repair shop I've ever had the pleasure of visiting! Not only is everyone incredibly friendly and accommodating, their shop is clean and very well organized unlike many other shops I've been to. I went initially for a simple oil change (which we've all gotten a million times) and even so they walked me through every single step of what they were going to do and how much it would cost and were extremely patient and attentive with all of my questions. I went later for repairs and the process was exactly the same

Had an amazing experience at this shop. I previously visited the shop to get some assistance with my window and they where kind enough to help without charging me. I decided to return to get my car serviced due to the amazing customer experience. The shop owner ( I forgot her name ) and Joe are amazing!! Joe even followed up with me two day's later just to thank me for my business and wish me a good day. Customer service like this especially from a mechanic shop is extremely rare these days.

Schneider's Automotive is a company that has been here in Simi for over 40 years. Honesty and integrity are their core values in a business that is rife with business taking advantage of the consumer.
I took my Cadillac to the dealer to get my car serviced for a percolating noise coming out of the engine. I found out that my car was out of warranty. I left the car at the dealer. I got a call later that day saying that they would like to keep the car overnight because I was short a gallon of coolant and the wanted to test the car when it was cold. Did that.

PLEASE READ: The good reviews on this page are practically forced by the owners onto the customers. When the repair is done they say we will offer you a discount (fractional) if you leave us a good review.
I get it, sometimes we don't have a choice and we have to take the car in to get repaired, sometimes ASAP. Always do your own research before you go in or 'Schneider's Sociopathic Automotive' will basically come to you and say your car needs a hundred different things. Oh and then slap you with a $6000 estimate and say you NEED this done. Then they look at you like you need

So far, so good. I have not had my repairs done yet. I requested a quote through "Yelp" and Frank promptly responded. He gave me a very fair quote, for the work I needed.
When I called there. Frank answered the phone and he was very polite and thorough. He even told me approximately, how long the job would take. Also, when I called back (There was some vehicle information Frank had asked for, however I didn't have the information in front of me.) the woman who answered (Unfortunately, I didn't catch her name.) was very courteous and thorough, as well.

I am beyond appreciative for the fine work done on my car. I have been coming here for years and I always feel the job is done right and at a fair price. The staff at Schneider is kind, very hard working and extremely knowledgable.
They went above and beyond in fixing my car so the job could be completed before a long holiday weekend.
I highly recommend them to anyone who needs automotive repair.

Love the feel of this local family owned automotive shop. Someone told me this is one of Simi Valley's best kept secrets. Well time to share this secret with all my friends.
This shop is a complete automotive repair facility.
They'll work on your engine, brakes, alignment, A/C, and check any sensor with their cool diagnostic machine. They basically can do any automotive service except Smog.
To get a discount, Make sure to check in on Yelp. You'll get 5% off on ALL services.
