Lee's Auto Repair

Jan 09, 2025

This shop and Lee are scammers and uneducated. I took my car I was selling to him because the buyers wanted to do a pre-purchase inspection. Knowing the car has no issues I had no problem with that. They took 5 minutes to “inspect” it. Lee told the buyers not to buy it because it had a “bad transmission, bad power steering pump, bad tires & bad brakes”. Well tires were 6 months old with warranty from discount tire and are in perfect shape so I don’t know how he came up with that conclusion. Power steering pump makes no noise, no leaks, fluid is full and good color and it steers with ease. Transmission shifts smooth as it gets. So after that I took my car to a well known trusted mechanic and he spent 2 hours doing an inspection and said there were zero problems with anything Lee mentioned, only needed new brake pads. So I took my car to one more shop just to be certain. The second shop said the same thing, there was no problems with any of what Lee mentioned. These guys are either uneducated or they’re a scam artist who try to claim there are issues with cars when there’s not to get more business. STAY FAR FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS SHOP! I’m not the only one who delt with this same exact issue I went through. He has a history of doing this and lying.

DISHONEST - My husband and I have had several services performed by Lee in past years in our cars. He was "our guy", we trusted him and referred friends to his shop but unfortunately Lee is not our mechanic anymore. It is with great disappointment that I share this review. Two weeks ago my car presented with a trembling noise and we took it to Lee, who kept it overnight to figure out what was wrong. The next day Lee called my husband and informed that the radiator's fan had to be replaced and that the service would cost us around $700. Based on our previous interactions with Lee my husband gave him authorization to do the job. However, when I went to pick up the car I understood that Lee was putting a generic fan - NOT original Nissan part - and charging us $430 for it plus $290 for labor. I could not believe that the fan could cost that much and searched for it on line. To my astonishment I found that a generic radiator fan for my car costs in average $60 !!!! (I searched more than 10 sites). I told Lee that this was absurd and tried to understand why he was charging us at least FIVE times more for the piece but Lee told me that this was the amount he had paid for. When I asked him to show me the receipt he refused, and told me that I had to pay whatever he charged me "because my husband agreed to it". I had to pay it otherwise I would not take my car home. This was a such a disappointment and a big rip off.

Mr. Lee always does a thorough inspection of my 2009 Honda CRV and gives my car the best service in town. I always go to Mr. Lee for top notch auto repairs.

I only go to Lee's and this is why, I have never left feeling like he charged too much. He is always honest, genuinely nice and does a great job!

Lee is honest and he does great work! I have been coming to him for my vehicle needs for more than 10 years. I highly recommend him.

My family and I have been taking our cars to Lee for over 20 years. He is honest, reliable, and reasonably priced. I am constantly referring Lee to anyone who asks, and I will be taking my cars to Lee for years to come.

Hallelujah. An honest mechanic! It's 2 years later and I still love this garage. Update: Still fabulous. ++++++++++ 8 years ago...I was totally blown away when I was charged only $35 for rear brakes that were making a LOUD chunk, chunk, chunk sound. He could have charged $500 and I would have believed that's what the car needed. I've been taking my family's cars to Lee's for a couple of years now. But I didn't know what I gem I'd found. My sister brought her Prius all the way from Carlsbad for Lee's to work on it because we can trust them. Nice people.

Lee's Auto Repair was quick and straight forward with is repair on my 4Runner. His quote for the repair was reasonable it was done by the afternoon. He was even able to work on my wifes jeep cherokee when it needed a repair. I will continue to go to him for my auto mechanic needs in the future.

I always bring my car to Lee's. I've been a customer for the past 9 years. He's professional and honest. Everything I look for in a mechanic.

Lee is always honest and fair with me. I refer others to him and had unanimous reports from others as well. I hope he sticks around another 40 years. ;-)

Honest mechanic I had a local dealership bring in a car for pre inspection. He rate was really reasonable

Honesty and integrity. My family kept urging me to make the 1 hr drive to Lee for my brakes on my Lexus GX460. I live in a very mountainous area that gets snow. I thought I needed front brakes because they felt a little grabby. Lee took all the wheels off and told me I only needed back brakes and the front brakes had 85% left on them. He could have easily told me I need brakes all around but he didn't. He also was done with the back brakes and rotors very quickly. The price was fair. I will return here.

Horrible service. Brought my car in to get the A/C fixed and after $1,100 it still didn’t work! Lee charged me to replace the condenser and then couldn’t get it to work. His solution was for me bring it to the dealership or an electrical specialist. Well I brought it to the dealership only to find out there was absolutely no Freon in it! None! How’s the A/C supposed to work with no Freon? Diagnostic evaluation and Freon cost me another $600! To add insult to the situation Lee refused to reimburse me one cent for his negligence! What a joke! DO NOT GO TO THIS GUY!

I called Lee yesterday afternoon for an oil and filter change for my Prius and he graciously squeezed my car into their busy schedule. I arrived and dropped what he was working on and proceeded to carefully worked on my car, answered my questions and concerns about the high mileage on the my car. I left with confidence that my car would go another 135K miles. Thanks Me. Lee.

In going to be honest with my experience as a dealer. I took my car to this shop as the customer wanted to get the pre-purchase inspection done. The inspection took less than 10 minutes and he strongly advised the customer not to buy the car. When i called the next day to understand why and if there was a bad issue with the car he said that back brakes needed maintenance and a coolant leak. The information given was inaccurate because i took the car to a mechanic right after getting his report, he told me there was no such problem with coolant or brakes. For small dealerships don’t waste your time and take the car to this auto shop if your customer works with them. Truly a waste of time for a inaccurate inspection that takes less the 10 minutes.

It took my dad the better part of the decade to find a honest reliable mechanic in the area. That mechanic was Mr. Lee - he is straight to the point, honest, and fair. If he tells you something needs to be done, it really does need to be done but he's not going to charge you an arm and a leg for it. He's absolutely fabulous and the first person I turn to if my car has issues. I truly don't know what I would do if he closed down shop.

Feb 06, 2024

Lee is an awesome guy and very knowledgeable and honest mechanic

Feb 06, 2024

Lee is as good as it gets, actually better than it gets as he is honest and transparent. If your car needs something simple, he goes the most affordable way even if he makes little on the service. I recommend him to everyone!

Feb 06, 2024

Lee is the man! I dropped my car off last night worried it was going to cost an arm and a leg to fix! Thank you so much Lee for being trustworthy and saving us time and money on our baby! You have a lifetime customer with us:)

This guy was great. He got me in on a Saturday morning while I was in town and was concerned about some shaking in my car. He drove it around and found that it was fine and didn't bother charging me. Friendly guy and friendly service.

This isn't an auto mechanic. This is a community leader! Not only was I treated with profound respect by every man in this establishment, they also befriended my toddler son and made him feel seen and welcomed. In a time where businesses, frankly, do not have to earn your business anymore, this auto mechanic had drinks and snacks and entertainment for my child. Might not seem like a big deal but it sets your business apart in a good way. The service provider that I worked with, Neil, was kind and understanding and thorough with the vehicle analysis. An excellent employee. Give him a Christmas bonus! 🎄

Wow called same day for an oil change and was able to bring my car in same-day. When I came in I mentioned that I’ve been having some loud metal rattling and they checked it immediately and diagnosed it immediately! Not only that I had another odd sound coming from the back plastic banging around for years and no other mechanic was able to figure it out that it was a dangling plastic that just needed to be stabilized(which they did not charge extra for). They fixed 3 things all within 45 min. At a great price. Thank you guys so much!! I’m a happy customer.
