I’ve been using Shortee’s for years. Mike really knows his stuff and is fair on pricing. I wouldn’t have my cars serviced anywhere else.

I have worked with Shortees for over 20 years. Mike is the owner, and his wife Shannon is the office manager. They are the best shop I have had the pleasure of working with in Simi Valley since moving her 25 years ago. It is hard to find a quality service business of any kind where you know you can trust them, and they have earned my trust so many times that I would not consider going anywhere else for non-warranty work. But here is the best part: If Mike is aware of a service bulletin on your vehicle which you are asking him to repair, he will first send you to the dealer to ask them to take care of it. He has done this for me twice, without my asking, and he saved me $Thousands as a result, while other mechanics will simply do the work and charge you for it. I have not met anyone in the automotive industry who is as honest and trustworthy as Mike and Shortees Automotive!

I have been going to Shortees for over 2 decades. I have dealt with dozens of mechanics over the past 55 years, and Mike, Shannon and their team are the most honest and fair mechanics I have ever worked with. Mike is an automotive genius, and they are typically able to diagnose and repair just about anything. Mike originally specialized in GM products, but they have worked on my Toyotas, Lexus, and Fords repeatedly without any glitch. Here is the best part. Mike knows the ins & outs with the manufacturers, including past service bulletins. When I took him my first Corvette due to gas smell, it was out of warranty. However, he knew that they had a service bulletin on this issue, and said I should take it back to Chevy, with no charge for his diagnosis. They had to replace the fuel tank, and so Shortees saved me about $1,500 for this one issue alone. Then a few years later we had an issue with my daughter's Scion XB, which I had towed in to their shop. Upon his quick inspection and analysis he told me the same thing, that there had been a service bulletin with Toyota for this valve train problem. The dealer next towed it to their shop and re-built the motor, again at no charge to me. They go above and beyond any other mechanic I know when it comes to diagnosis and recommendations, and I am extremely grateful for all of their help over the years. Their prices are typically about 1/2 of what a dealer charges for pretty much anything, I have checked! As long as I am living in this town, Shortees Automotive is the only place I wish to have working on my vehicles...

Highly recommended! Absolutely the best in the business and only shop I trust locally. My entire family goes to them for vehicle maintenance, from oil changes to those unfortunate surprise issues, and they always take care of us. Honest, reliable, and make things right-- every time. Totally counts and has us coming back time and time again for many years now.

Our car was making brake noises, so we took it into Shortee's. They checked all, brakes/pads, drove it and were honest enough to tell us that the brakes/pads were fine, still had lots of life left! Who does that? Honest, ethical people who want repeat business that's who! The girls in the reception area are also extremely friendly and helpful. They have our business for life!

Shortee's Automotive thoroughly checked out and repaired my Cadillac SRX! As a first time customer, their level of expertise and professionalism has exceeded my expectations. Not only was the end result exceptional, but the staff was amazing. Besides not trying to up sell, they make sure you are completely satisfied. I will definitely come back for any future services and will happily refer Shortee's to my friends & family.

Honest mechanic. Took my car to Yosemite's in East Simi for a anti-freeze leak. Was told that it would cost $800 to replace a $200 radiator. Took my car to Shortee's for a second quote. He ran some tests and called to let me know that my radiator was fine. However, he kept it overnight to test again in the morning. Turns out it was a leak in the hose. $200 repair. You have to appreciate the honesty.

Mike and Shannon are a great team here at this shop. They are honest and Mike and his team of help do great work. Just started taking my vehicles here and have been very happy with the results. I will definitely continue to call on them for repairs and services. It can be a wait to get in but it's worth it. Just be a patient customer.

My 2013 3/4 ton GMC Denali has been an electronic nightmare for years. Three different GMC dealers and GMC Corporate claimed they couldn't find a problem let alone fix it. The truck would shut itself down and wouldn't start sometimes for hours, sometimes days. It was recommended that I take it to Shortees as the owner is an electronics guru. I took it in on two separate occasions with two different problems and he quickly diagnosed both problems and fixed everything within a day each time.
