This was the best experience I have ever had at any shop. Great group of guys and felt welcome there. Very knowledgeable and dependable service in a timely fashion at a great price, what more could you ask for? Don't waist your time calling around, call Simms first!

We have used Sims for years and have always had an honest experience. My daughter's now taking her vehicle and she gets the same great treatment. We have used for major mechanical, regular maintenance and today she has her car detailed and it looks awesome.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair, Auto detailingServices: General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair, Auto detailing

I had a great experience with Chris. My daughter had a major problem with her car and Chris clearly explained and fixed the issue in the timeframe he said. He was very transparent on the parts and his labor and even sent me pics of his progress. I would highly recommend him for auto service.Services: Exhaust, Steering & suspension repair, Brakes, Auto maintenanceServices: Exhaust, Steering & suspension repair, Brakes, Auto maintenance

Easily the best experience I have ever had at a repair shop. I had an emergency and they made time for me with no questions even when they were done for the day. Everyone that worked there was so unbelievably kind especially the main gentleman that looked at my car. He even gave me an estimate of what the price of my service would be so when I had to get it fixed they wouldn t rip me off. Still so grateful for them and would recommend them to anyone no questions asked! Go support them, they deserve it all!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Simms automotive is the best. I am a student at Clemson and was struggling to find someone trustworthy when I moved here. I have been to simms twice now and Chris has been amazing. He is very professional and helpful, and has done repairs to my car in a timely manner and for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend to other students or anyone in the area looking for somewhere reliable to go.Service: General repairs & maintenance

We were visiting from Texas and had an unexpected problem with our Ford Van. Simms was available, friendly and diagnosed and repaired the problem in a couple hours; we didn t even have to rent a car! If we lived here they would definitely be our go to auto mechanic! So happy to have found them!Service: Engine repairService: Engine repair

Simms does a fantastic job! They are fast and reasonably priced. When my a/c continued having issues a couple months later they honored their warranty and fixed it for free. Highly recommend!

Rented location from us. Will not pay. Signer of lease has been charged with embezzlement and bad checks. Clearly it is not a great company. Have called all 5 of their numbers Run as fast in the other direction from this business as they are not honest people. Won t even answer their phone or call or text back. Even changed locks on door which was against lease.

Came up to Clemson for a few days to visit and started having some car problems. Called one place and they couldn t even look at it for a few weeks and then called Simms and they said to come in anytime that day, he looked at my car within 10 min of getting there after they could take down the car they were looking at. Super nice and friendly customer service from the moment I walked in.

My 2021 Type R was broken and we had no idea what could be the cause. Chris was absolutely amazing figuring it out and helping solve a few problems with the car along the way. I will always be coming back to Chris for help he treated me with kindness and is very knowledgeabl. Pricing is very fair and the customer service is fantastic!Services: Electrical repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Auto maintenance

Chris Simms is a great mechanic, giving so much of himself to this community. This person kept me calm when on a business trip my car malfunctioned. Mr. Simms also took me to car rental store so I could make my meetings. God bless you & I can't thank you enough!

This is an amazing place to go if you are having car troubles. I am a college student and not super familiar with cars so I didn t really know where to go. My boyfriend got told about this place and we went. They were very communicative, gave an estimate upfront and said they would look at the other parts around the issue area to make sure nothing else is bad. They called and let me know another part would probably break down soon and sent me a new estimate. I love how they break everything down for you and communicate with you along the way. They were very kind and seemed like they really cared and wanted to make sure I got back on the road safely. Thank you guys a lot!!

I am a student at Clemson University. When I started having car issues I didn't know where to turn. I looked up places close by using Google, and found Simms. When I went for the first time I was just hoping for the best. Simms Auto Repair far exceeded my expectations and immediately became my go to shop at Clemson. Very kind, knowledgable, and professional guys that know what they're doing and have very fair pricing. It is so nice to know I have somewhere I can count on to take my car to while I'm away from home at school!Services: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Battery, Oil change

My alternator started actively melting while I was driving on Tuesday, a couple of employees from here happened to be driving by, stopped, figured out the problem to stop it from melting further, and called over the tow company for me. By Thursday it was fixed at the shop for a very reasonable price. Everybody being so kind and respectful made my week much better.

We had a great experience here! They were able to get us in to fix the car horn on one day notice and got the job done in around 30 minutes during the lunch hour. They were very friendly and very reasonably priced. We will be going here from now on and highly recommend them!

My 2003 Nissan Maxima was giving me a lot of problems (such as dying on the road at seemingly random intervals) and I didn't know the cause. I called Simms to get my car looked at expecting there to be some huge issues. They found the cause and fixed it within a couple hours. Also they let me know of some potential fixes I might have to think about in the future; it didn't feel like they were pressing me to spend more money unlike other mechanics. It was the first time for me where a mechanic wasn't trying to take as much of my money as they could and was more focused on getting my car up & running. They are very honest and efficient at what they do.

If you re looking for any place to get your car serviced, trust me when I tell you that this is the only place you need to go to. We let our Hyundai sit for over a year with a ton of problems, and one day wanted it to be fixed. I called John at Simms and explained my problem with my car, they ran the diagnostic test and let me know within a day what was wrong. My AC compressor had to be completely replaced, battery, and starter. ALL OF THIS WORK was done in less than 24 hours. My car was running and driving after being dead for over a year. I swear, it is literally a miracle or extremely good work. I had been to two different mechanics before letting it sit, and got so exhausted with being told how to fix it and it never working. I am super impressed and I m taking our other car tomorrow for service.

I highly recommend this repair shop. The guys there were very welcoming, they listened to your concerns or thoughts, and made sure all their work was done accurately and professionally. And they didn t just bring you in to take your money, actually cared about your vehicle and what was needed to be done.

I am from PA, down here on business and had heard some sqeaking (which then disappeared by the time I drove over the next day when I decided to stop at Simms, go figure) but just to be sure, I stopped by to see if they coud take a look. He checked out my wheels and brakes, said brakes were still good, explained what probably happened and filled my tires for free. Very nice indeed, didn't try to rip me off or take advantage of my ignorance which was much appreciated!!! Thank you Simms!Service: Brakes

So transmission went out in my truck I have it at transmission shop the shop said I should change joints in my truck while it was apart. So I call Simms they say they won t change joints unless I bring the whole truck to them, I was like why do you need whole truck if your just changing the ujoints. All they want to do is charge as much as they can for labor a rob the customer. I do not recommend to go to these people at allService: General repairs & maintenance

I recommend Simms Automotive Repair to anyone in need of a auto repair. I took my car to them after breaking a bolt on my alternator tensioner pulley and thinking I needed a new alternator installed. And come to find out I needed a new battery instead. The mechanic repairs the car quick and had me back on the road in no time. Thanks guysService: Engine repair

Chris and John went above and beyond to get my daughter's car repaired. Being out of town, with a child in college, can be worrisome. Simms Automotive communicated diagnosis and repair progress daily and eased any worries. Excellent service and trustworthy!
