Simon’s Auto Werks

I just moved to Pacifica, and so it was pretty stressful when my Honda Element started having problems. Fortunately, someone recommended Simon’s Auto Werks. Jeffery went above and beyond — he’s intelligent, honest, and very sweet. I’ll definitely take my vehicle there in the future… but I hope I won’t need to! ;-)

It’s hard to find a good, fair honest mechanic these days and I’m just so glad that I have one. Simon’s Auto Werks has fit that bill exactly! Over years of them working on my various vehicles, I’ve always had complete confidence in their estimates and the work has always been spot on.
I blew the engine in my Mazda Miata. Jeff sourced a replacement engine which was an upgraded one, installed it at an amazingly reasonable price, about half of what others would have charged me and I have a new car again! He’s kept my big one ton Ford Econoline in working shape for years and serving me so well.
I’m really so happy to have them on my side to keep any of my vehicles running well.

Yesterday I discovered my catalytic converter had given up. So here it is Christmas eve, and Jeff and the guys at Simon’s are working hard to get me on the road for tomorrow. Jeff has been handling my «93» Grand Marque for more years than I can remember. «Yes she is old enough to vote», and I would not trust her to anyone else. They are always right there to help!

My second visit was just as good as the first (see my 7÷22÷14 review) — friendly, fast and frugal (OK, well-​priced). The oil & filter change, plus brake check, tire rotation, etc. in under 90 minutes. I’m already planning to bring my Honda Fit back for the next service.

I have lived in Pacifica for 7years. Jeffery has worked on my 2003 VW Passat and 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee as well as my 2014 Medcedes c300 and 2014 Mercedes ML350. I am very fussy about maintaining my cars. Jeffery is polite, knowledgeable, offers very good prices. I once had a fuel leak in the gas line on my 2003 passat. One garage charge me $ 1900 and still could not find the leak. Jeffery worked on the cars for two hours and was not successful in finding the leak. I asked him how much I owed him and he said nothing since I could not find the leak I finally found the leak but you had the drop the rear axle to locate the leak. On another ocassion I had some damage to the front end of one of my cars and I bought the parts and he installed them. Again I asked him how much I owed him and he said nothing. Yesterday I had a side light go out on my 2014 Mercedes 300c he fixed the light which is a $ 200 job at the dealership. When I asked Jeffery how much I owed him he said no charge.
Jeffery has replaced batteries, done complete brake jobs on my cars, changed transmission fluid, done routine oil changes, replaced a power steering pump, preformed major engine tune-​ups, changed transfer case fluids as well as other jobs over the last 7 years always at resonible reasonable and he is an Honest and qualified mechanic. I fell so fortunate to have found Simons Auto Werks to work on my cars over the years.
I also have picked up and taken my my daughters car and grandi chilren’s cars to Jeffery for various repairs. As you can see from my remarks I am very impressed with the work of Simon’s Auto Werks.

I recently moved to Pacifica, and one Saturday, my car wouldn’t start. I called around for places that could take my car in with no appointment. Simon’s Auto Werks told me that they had an opening that same day for me to bring my car in. I was able to jump-​start my car, and I took it to Simon’s to get my engine looked at, as well as to get an oil change.
Jeffrey was very helpful and told me that he thought i needed a new battery. He quoted me for a new battery and the oil change, and it was very reasonable (especially considering I had just called him, and he was able to fit me in that day). I left my car there for a few hours, and he called me back when my car was ready.
Thanks so much for taking my business at the last minute. You guys rock, I will definitely be returning to this auto shop, hopefully next time with more notice!

These guys are great. It’s hard to find good and trustworthy mechanics — Simon’s fits the bill.
Jeffery in particular is fantastic. He’s done extensive work and helps with small things, always the same great experience. For example, i bought a used pickup and purchased all the parts for a tuneup and stopped by. They were very busy at the time and i didn’t have an appt. Jeffery asked what i wasn’t entirely comfortable doing myself for the tuneup, then took the time to gap my spark plugs and install them properly and sent me on my way with a vote of confidence to do the rest, but made sure to let me know i can come back if i ran into any issues.
The prices are very fair and they never try to rack up extra work if its not truly needed, they’ve even helped me save in areas over time.
Highly recommend them! They’ve worked on my Subaru, Truck and Scooter. No job too big or small.

now that the old manager is gone, things are getting back on tracks. You can rest assured that you are in good hands.

Nice guys but they overcharge on repairs by a wide margin.

As a recommendation from a friend, I made an appointment and took my VW Jetta to Simon’s Auto Werks. The mechanic, Jeff, was great. I took my car for a routine oil change and asked him to look over my car as I just arrived from Florida. He completed everything in less than the estimated time of completion, 1 hour. I only take my car to them. They are very professional and personable, not something that you easily find in other garages. The staff is friendly and it’s very efficiently run. Check this place out if you are in need of a good mechanic!

Jeffrey has been taking care of my cars for at least 10 yrs. He is honest, does excellent work, finishes it when he says he will, and charges a reasonable price! The shop has a casual, friendy atmosphere. Need your car worked on? Call Simon’s Auto Werks.

Just had my Honda Insight serviced here by Jeffery. Great service and fair price! Just moved to the area and found an honest mechanic. The Honda dealership would have cost me double and it’s a lot further away.

Honest mechanic. Great guy. Didn’t charge me anything for two simple diagnostics.
5 Stars. That’s all there is to it.

Competent, responsive, knowledgeable and reasonably priced! And they are honest with ladies. What more could a girl ask for?

I set up an appointment here for today for two reasons. 1) good reviews here on Unilocal and 2) it’s 1/​½ blocks from home!
On the phone & in the office, Jared was very personable and professional. I got the phone call when my car was ready, only about 30 mins past the ETA time given, which was no big deal this time, for I DID tell Jared that I was in no hurry, but would like to know how long he thought it might take.
I’ll definitely be back for future servicing! Thanks to the reviewers who help steer me here!

Simon’s.Not as good as before, I have been going there for a few years and now that Jeff has this new manager it seems he just way over charged me for the second time, this will be my last time using Simons. You f$$$ed up a good business by letting your mgr over charge… Sad but true. ;(

Great Service. I received regular updates with useful info. They steered me award from some repairs that were not needed, rather than replacing they actually fixed and I was very happy with the end result.
The best is that the bill came to less than the quote (rare). They now have a regular customer!

Jeff is The MAN! In fact, every mechanic there is worth their salt and super friendly to boot. They’ve done pretty regular work on my ’01 Dodge Ram cuz, well, it’s an ’01 Dodge Ram and needs it! Not the most trustworthy vehicle but I love it and these guys are as trustworthy as they come. For all the various little hiccups that occur they’re always available to hear me out, then do the work in less time than quoted.
No matter who I speak to, they listen attentively and make notes about every little thing, then call me back immediately with an estimate… which [knock wood] is usually less than I end up paying. When my electric door locks went out they took the doors apart and found each motor needed replacing, at $ 250 per that was out of the question! But they didn’t charge me for looking into it.
They know their stuff, don’t BS you, do great work in minimal time, and if you’re lucky enough to be there when he is, you just might get to practice a few karate kicks with Jeff’s young son, Orson! I will always bring my truck to Simon’s. Two thumbs way up.

Honestly, have not had my car worked on here but he fixed my bike!
I have a sweet old school Beach Cruiser Bike that I took into town… only moments on the street I ended up with flats!!!
I wheeled into his shop area and asked if I could use their air pump and he dropped everything he was doing to help me out! He checked my tire pressures, the hole and then filled up both tires for free. I guess the guy’s name was Jeff, awesome Asian guy with stylish hair!
He was super friendly and even if his auto prices are high (which from what I have seen they aren’t) I definitely plan to take my car here when it starts falling apart because the service alone was unbeatable. :)

Jeffery and his staff are THE most honest and friendly mechanics you will ever meet. He will work with you to get your car fixed in the most affordable way possible, and do an excellent job of it.
There are no «extra» charges, no «additional» repairs, no «boat payments», this is just an honest, get-​it-​fixed-​right, no bullshit garage. (well they do like to bullshit a little, haha ;)
Really, once you meet these guys you will see what I mean — they are just damn good people!
