Lee’s Auto Care

Been going here for years. Mr. Lee’s worked on all of my family’s cars. Honest, no-​nonsense/​no-​frills service.

I have been taking my cars to Mr. Lee for over 10 years. He is reliable, honest and never oversells me on repairs. It is not easy for women to avoid being ripped off by mechanics! Today I brought in a laundry list from my dealership — they gave me a three page list of all the repairs they recommended. Mr. Lee replaced one filter, changed my oil & sent me on my way. He’s the best.

Mr. Lee is a conning old man. Unwritten etiquette is I bring in the car, you take a look, give me a quote, then that is it. Why do you ask me for $ 20 for just looking at my car’s check engine light code? Is it because I have a Lexus? If you quote me for full price, then why not just leave that 5 minutes you spent for check engine light into the cost of doing business. I told you I will shop around, but you should not use that as an execuse to extract the exit profit just because you don’t think your price is competitive to keep me.
The best way to get your check engine light checked is to go to Advanced Auto Parts for a free diagnostic. Don’t rely on their recommendation fully, but write down the reading and search online with it.

Mr. Lee is a very helpful man who does not rip you off. When you bring your car in, they treat you with respect and does not recommend car repairs that you do not need. He has very reasonable prices and is always helpful!

Tara L. is absolutely right. Mr. Lee does not leave you feeling like you just got ripped off. They tell you what needs to be done and if you say no they just leave it alone. I trust them though. His prices is reasonable and you can get in and out fairly quickly. I went to Son’s Auto Clinic slight across the street and got completely ripped off so WARNING to all, NEVER go there people!!! That was lesson learned! Now I’m in a good place at Mr. Lee’s. I usually get my oil change there and they always top off all my fluids no charge! I told my brother in law about Mr. Lee (who very skeptical about everything). He now only brings his car to Mr. Lee. BTW, he is Toyota certified so he’s really good with Japanese car.

I call my car Lady.
I know that’s corny, but my old roommate and I felt as though our cars had enough personality, that they needed their own respective names.
Lady is like a stoic mare that takes me dutifully, to and from. Lady is reliable, unassuming, smooth and a classic, Japanese made vehicle that has been extremely loyal to me over the years.
When Lady has the rare hiccup or headache, I usually take her over to Lee’s Auto Center. Although the work I’ve had done on her has been minimal, Mr. Lee and his team are always able to take her immediately and have her in and out in the time it takes for me to get my hair or nails done, depending on the kind of work needed.
Usually, I just need an oil change, or my brake pads replaced — pretty standard work, but he always makes sure to also check my tires and any other things that could cause problems with my car in the future.
Instead of pushing for me to get unnecessary work done, he only recommends things that might truly me *needed* to keep my car running smoothly and safely.
Over the years, I’ve come to trust their work and have been impressed by how convenient the process is. So far, so good!
