Simon Auto Repair

I wasn’t going to write a review but thought i better because of the massive money i have wasted. first off don’t get me wrong simon is a great friendly guy and i thank him for the help in dropping off the parts to me, but anyway i supplied all new parts for simon to paint including front fenders, hood and bumper which cost me $ 2300 in labor and paint, only to find out once all the parts were back on the car that they were all the wrong color, Simon told me that the parts could be blended in to match the rest of the vehicle’s color at an extra cost of $ 750, he tells me the reason the paint did not match was because he did not have any original parts, he seen the car in person and took the paint code, he could of taken a fender to match the paint if he wanted to but he didn’t. Anyway i was out of time and i had to get on the road to Los Angeles, so i choose not to repaint anything and to just leave it as is. Once i arrived in Los Angeles, i went to a body shop that a friend put me onto, i had him check out the paint job and i agree with him there was nothing wrong with the paint job, just the color did not match and was told that he will need to repaint all the parts as the color is too far off the factory color, which sucks as this is $ 2300 down the drain, this body shop did tell me i should be looking for a refund or some kind of compensation towards repainting as it was not my fault, but to be honest i can not be bothered with the drama so ill be taking my looses and learn from my mistakes, anyway thanks for your service simon i was happy with your customer service just not happy with the color match. i do not want to burn any bridges as that is not how i do business, thanks for your help but still guttered i have to repaint everything.

I came here by accident as the mechanic I used to get my state inspection at was closed. Simon is the owner and is VERY friendly and funny. He likes to make jokes and talk with the customers while they get for the service to be completed. He offer coffee or water while you wait. He also charged me $ 25 format inspection while I’m use to pay $ 40. It only took them 12 – 15 mins to get it done.
I really enjoyed his conversation and amazing service. Will definitely come back and will recommend to friends and family.

My car had been making a weird noise so I came here based on a friend’s recommendation. They immediately got my car into the shop, had the problem diagnosed and fixed within an hour, and for a good price. Great work, super friendly, very welcoming environment. Definitely recommending them in the future.

This place and its owner is a joke. I went in because one of my headlight bulb went out. I had read great reviews about this place. Before I went I called to get a price quote for replacing both headlight bulbs. Simon asked me what the make/​model of the vehicle was and then proceeded to quote me $ 120 after looking on his computer so I agreed to come in. Once I got there, another man told me that I was given the wrong quote because my bulbs were HID. He called Simon on his cell phone and Simon said for me to wait til he got there. After waiting about an additional 30 mins, Simon finally got there and without even checking the bulbs, said he knew my ignitor was out and needed to be replaced. i asked him how he knew if he didnt even check the bulb itself. His reply was «i know because I’ve been doing this for over 20 years». He called me inside to show me the part on his computer and quoted me $ 400+ for the ignitor. I asked him why did he quote me $ 120 over the phone. He didnt give me a straight answer but kept asking me if i want to go ahead and order the ignitor. I said no i want to check to see if the bulb is bad first. So he said fine i’ll order u one bulb and it’s $ 120. I gave in and said fine order one bulb since only one side was out. He said it would be delivered in a couple of days. I decided to check bulb prices on Amazon and found a pair of HID bulbs for $ 30. I quickly ordered them to compare once I received the expensive one Simon ordered me. Once I received the ones i ordered from Amazon, i took my car to get an oil change at my normal place, and decided to ask the guy to check out my headlight. Come to find out, after he replaced the burnt out bulb, the new one worked! All this time it was just a burnt out bulb just as I suspected and just wanted to replace the bulbs, but snake Simon tried to bully me into buying an unnecessary car part that costs over $ 400 when the replacements bulbs I ordered on Amazon was only $ 30/​pair!
The one he ordered me looked cheaper than the ones I got on Amazon!
Avoid this place at all costs! All he cares about is money and does not make any effort to try to help with your problem. He made no effort to find out if my bulb was really out, only tried to pressure me into buying something i didnt need. I wonder how many other good customers actually got suckered in into paying for something they didn’t need. If u do decide to have repairs done here, I would suggest going elsewhere first to get a second opinion. But my best advice to avoid this place altogether!

In and out. Simon is a funny and kind man. I support ma and pa shops like this one. Very professional and friendly! Don’t judge the book by its cover. I’ll be coming back here more often when needed.

Wow! Excellent job, fast service, friendly and professional. They just earned a repeat customer

Been going to Simons for years and he has worked on multiple vehicles. Simon is the best in town, very knowledgeable and fair prices. I highly recommend Simons for any car service.

If I could give more stars, I would. I went in for some brake repair. His prices were the most affordable and the best work. Simon also helped me get a manufacturer recall taken care of thru the dealership. I am forever going to his shop for any car repair. I can’t say enough about the good work and great customer service.

My Dad owns his own shop and so I have a hard time trusting anyone but him with my car. But, he is 5 hours away so had to find someone to help me!
I found Simon and he and his guys were amazing. I needed my wheel bearing replaced, passengers side mirror replaced and car inspected. I dropped my car off around 10am and it was ready for me when I got off of work. He even helped me get back and forth from work while he had my car. Simon was fair, honest, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

I found Simon on Unilocal and I’m very glad of it! They repaired my car in 2 days for an affordable price. The team is honest and friend! I’ve definitely found car repair shop in DFW. Thanks guys!

Coming from a family of men who did all my car work, I never really had to worry about car issues. This all changed when I took a job out of state from San Diego to Texas and needed car work. This place means a lot to me. The owner is very honest, never took advantage of me, did more than just repair but gave much needed advice and even discounts. the treatment I get from this place reminds me of the days of me working on my car with my grandfather, Dad and brothers. I had been home sick for a while and I am just thankful I found a mechanic shop that is almost like a home away from gome.

I’ve been dealing with Simon for several years. He is an exceptional man and he has always done right by me and my family,
I could write a long narrative about Simon and how he has gone out of his way to help us out and how well he stands behind the work of his shop. But I am not going to do it. It would take too long and I would probably forget to mention too many things. I just want to say Simon has built a tremendous amount of trust equity with me and I recommend him without hesitation.
Simon is one of the truly good people in this business.

I am not one to normally write reviews but I felt this needed to be shared. I went to Simons auto repair to get my rearview mirror put back on since this Texas heat melted the glue and caused it to fall down. They removed the metal button to glue back and let dry for 24 hours. I go back to the shop to get the mirror reattached and the mechanic comes in telling me «it didn’t work». I then asked if it had broken the glass because I read online that’s possible. He said «yeah but we will fix it». They tried to reglue the button with the glass on it but it was obvious a chunk of glass had been taken out. the entire metal button came off taking the glass with it. Simon said he would pay for the windshield replacement thru his friend which was more expensive than insurance doing it. I went back telling him insurance would cost $ 100 so it’s cheaper. He wanted the insurance to go thru his friend but I felt more comfortable having a glass company do it. Let’s just say he did not like the idea and refused to pay to replace it thru a glass company. He got super irritated, speaking loudly at me, which is overwhelming since this wasn’t my fault and there goes money out of my pocket. He then proceeds to see the tears forming in my eyes and says «do I need to go outside so you can cry?» The second I got In my car I cried like a baby out of pure frustration. I’ve never been so disrespected before. Especially as a customer by a business owner.

Needed a front brake repair right now. Got me in quick, gave me a choice of parts and options and did the job quickly. All in all, a very good experience. Will recommend to my friends and I will return also. Did I mention the price was about $ 60 less than Firestone. Support this business.

I found Simon 3yrs ago through Unilocal and they have always given me a great service, good and honest mechanics are difficult to find.

This was my first time going to Simon and it was a great experience. I felt lucky to find such a good mechanic and repair shop. They gave me a very fair price and went above expectations. They were able to diagnose and also provided some extra care. Then when I needed to get home they gave me a ride, twice! I had forgotten something and they were very understanding about returning for it and the second time Simon took time out of his day and personally have me a ride home. These guys are great and the reviews show it. If you’re in the area or close by I would highly recommend taking your vehicles to Simon. I’ve been all of this country and have owned a number a different types of vehicles so I can say from experience that finding a mechanic shop like this is rare.

Simon is great; I really recommend this guy to anyone looking for a good mechanic. Simon has an incredible understanding of the intricacies of cars. He has very fair prices but what truly differentiates Simon is his honest and helpful demeanor. He isn’t condescending, and he genuinely wants to show you how to take care of your car, and save money.

First review so it might get buried, but hey! Gotta start somewhere…
Going to the body shop is never fun. Ever. And if you are like me, sometimes those light poles just come out of nowhere. I found Simon on Unilocal as he came high rated and was close to my office. And let me say, believe the hype! He is fantastic. He came in for the quoted amount and not a penny over. He was on time and even gave me a loaner, free of charge! I think I was late picking the car up after the work was done but he stayed open for me.
Simon, you rock!

This is one of the most honest mechanics around town!!!
Simon was so helpful in helping me find solutions to my car trouble. The dang thing turned on check engine light. I went to two mechanics prior to Simon. They both told me I needed a new transmission. Simon, smart man that he is… told me they were lying because my car wouldnt even drive if I needed a new transmission. He then remember a Toyota recall on my car a few years ago. He helped me try to track down that recall by pretending to be my boyfriend and called Toyota himself. I’m a girl, I had no idea what the heck was going on. LOL He told me how to handle Toyota. I would take my car in to Simon next time I need something major to my car.

If I’ve learned anything in life, it’s that a good, honest mechanic is hard to come across but when you do, you should consider it a great blessing. Simon has been exactly that; a great blessing! He’s very accommodating and gets the work done right in a timely manner at a great price. Seriously. what more could you ask for?
I live in Dallas but it’s well worth the drive to know that my car will be in good hands. Simon rocks!
