Theyre very professional and polite. Jeremy is very nice.My only issue is that they mark their parts up 2x over car part places or online. Their labor is $150 /hr, $50 more an hour than my fathers garage. My dads garage is over 3 hrs from Austin, and it being a steering leak issue, needed to be fixed here vs Lake Jackson, Texas, if anyone questions why i didnt take it to my dads shop.I also think if Im getting my car repaired at the shop, I shouldnt be charged the diagnostic fee. If I take my car elsewhere, yes. But thats a charge that should be dropped if Im agreeing to your services and prices. I only got that dropped because my mechanic father called to question their prices.Work seems fine so far.

Very positive experience. Showed up here after an exhausting few days at work. No sleep in ages. Friendly staff took care of everything and had plenty of coffee! Gave me a reasonable quote and the final bill came in below that. Definitely going here again for anything my car needs.

*(Thank you for the reply, Leonard --- But I have not heard back from anyone yet.)*We took our 2009 Highlander in for alternator failure. So far, several months down the road, our truck is running as designed again!However, we were told a AAA Discount would be applied to our invoice --- but it was not.

I had always taken my car to the dealership in SC prior to moving to Austin and had great service from them. Unfortunately when I went to the Nissan dealership here it was a complete 180 in terms of quality and customer service. Leonard’s was recommended to me by a friend when I needed my check engine light looked into. The customer service was excellent and I didn’t feel like they were trying to oversell me but also felt like they knew what they were doing. Bonus- I got my car back in the same day!

This is the best place for car service in Austin! Theyre always warm, welcoming, and ready to help.Pros: This is a full service spot. Theyre not just changing your oil, taking your money and pushing you out the door. When you drop off the car, theyre making sure everything looks good: belts, filters, oil, etc. I dont feel like I need to ask for a second opinion on anything. I completely trust these guys with my car, which is hard to say of most shops nowadays. They have always done honest business, and I couldnt ask for more. I also love their loyalty program; after 3 oil changes you get one for free!Cons: Mild wait times, but thats because theyre giving your car all the love and attention it deserves.

I dropped off my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee for an issue I was having with my battery. They were able to diagnosis the issue and give me options. One for the most honest mechanic shops I’ve ever dealt with. Highly recommend!!

Leonards is fantastic - I wont go anywhere else! They are honest, friendly, helpful, professional, and do a great job on my cars. Ive popped by with questions here and there and they always make time to check things out and NEVER try to sell me on a service I dont need. They go out of their way to go above and beyond and I cant recommend them highly enough.

Wow. The people at this place are SO FRIENDLY! I spoke to Johnathan on the phone about helping me replace a brake drum (I already had the part). He said come in whenever. When I got there, they offered to do a complimentary check for all sorts of things for my car, which was great. Even though I didnt have an appointment, they were able to replace the brake drum within a half an hour. When I was in the waiting room, another employee offered me a cold beverage! After the part was replaced, Johnathan said it was complimentary! I made sure to provide a tip :) I have never been treated so nicely at any sort of car repair shop ever in my life. For any future work, I will definitely drive out of my way to go to Leonards. They honestly treat their customers like really good friends.

Leonards Garage, simply put, is phenomenal. Warm, friendly, and knowledgeable, they serviced my car with incredible attention to detail and expertise. I have a bit of an older car, and they were able to diagnose the issues with the vehicle and get it back into great condition within only a few hours. Reasonable price for the level of service performed, would most certainly recommend them to friends or family!

Halfway into a road trip my truck broke down in Austin. A buddy recommended this shop and what a blessing. Jeremy and Jonathon were super helpful.When I finally got into a rental I called and asked if he would wait for me after hours to get some stuff from my truck, which he did.They went above and beyond helping. Although I ended up getting my truck towed back home Im confident that if their work matches their helpfulness, Im sure it would be nothing less than Top Notch!!

Review №25

Was quoted $700 for parts/labor to replace a window regulator. I ended up finding the same part online, ordered for $100, and installed myself in less than an hour. Considering how little experience I have replacing any automobile components, the quote I received was outrageous.Additionally, I was charged $90 to diagnose the issue, which I had already explained when dropping the vehicle off. Couldnt have been more than 10 minutes of actual work.Nice people, but I will not be back.

Scheduled an appointment two days out. Called day of to verify we were still on but they did not have record of an appointment for me. When scheduling the appointment I verified if they needed anything else from me before I got off the phone because I thought it was strange that they didnt take my vehicle information down. Ive done service there before though so I didnt think too much of it. Everyone there is cordial and nice but I havent had good experiences with the organization/coordination at this shop.

Great business. Guys are great here. I bring my truck to them when Im having issues and they always diagnose it to let me know what needs fixing. Ill usually end up doing minor repair work myself to save some $$ and they are respectful of that. Ive been to similar shops where they give attitude if you try to do such thing. I recommend all my friends and family to go here. Ill always go to Leonards first.

My father began using Leonards garage about 12 years ago, and was so pleased with their service, that they became my auto shop, as well. The prices are competitive, they back their work up, and they do the small things that make you feel like a valued customer. Ive yet to have a problem with a repair they have made to my car, and they send out specials on occasion that are really special! Huge fan. Give em a go

Some of you may be able to relate to this… As a single woman going into a car shop I don’t always feel comfortable trusting what the car mechanics tell me is wrong with my car. But from the first time that I visited Leonard’s garage I have always had that sense of being able to trust what they’re telling me. I find them to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and courteous. They provide great customer service and I would recommend them.

This shop has been my place to go when I have a car problem. What the most amazing thing about this shop is : They are super honest and genuine. If my car has no problem after detailed checkup or diagnostic, they would tell me so. That’s a first! Every shops I’ve gone to have tried to squeeze money out of me even if my car is drivable and fine. Super friendly and fast service as well. I wish that I got the manager’s name! He was super nice and sincere! I would recommend this place to anyone!

Thanks to the manager for calling me to personally inquire about a service issue I had. After a thorough explanation, we resolved the situation. This was a good case for me because I am a long time satisfied customer. Leonards has bailed me out of car mishaps more times than not. I very much appreciated their time to make a call and ask about my service visit and my level of satisfaction. I use my 2003 Honda for a great deal of travel and having a trusted, dependable auto care facility means a whole lot to me. Thanks guys! I will be back-

Review №49

Absolutely the best experience one could ask for. My window regulator exploded and I didnt even know it. Called Leonards and asked for the manager, only because I needed my vehicle in time for a road trip on Saturday. Warranty company said minimum 48 hours, but Leonards team had me in and out in 6 hours. This includes some needed maintenance, oil change, filter changes, tire rotation etc. This place is fantastic! I will be going back, and I will spread the good word. I am a huge believer in word of mouth advertisement. They are miles above the rest. Thank you all so much.

Phenomenal customer service!! Jonathan exhibited exceptional care for my car & for my pocketbook. Though my poor Fiat was too far gone - RIP her beautiful soul - he was incredibly patient & accommodating whilst I shopped for a new vehicle & coordinated the trade-in tow over a two-week period. From establishing an instant rapport to solidifying my trust with their competitive pricing, sugar-free diagnosis, & shattering of misogynistic mechanic stereotypes, both Jonathan & Jason have secured all my future automotive repair business.

Excellent service, polite staff, good prices, good hours. Had a really great first experience with these guys. Wife needed oil change and tire rotation, I followed in my car and as we were leaving in my vehicle after the drop-off the man at the counter noticed one of my rear lights was out. He popped in a new one free of charge with no hesitation to my pleasant surprise. Wifes car was done in a timely manner, and quality of work and price met expectations. Will definitely be going back, even though its kind of out of the way!

I have been using Leanards for over 15 years and cannot say enough good things about them.I routinely go in for an oil change and appreciate the extra service they give. I think its a 40 point check list plus they lube all the fittings and rotate my tires.I cant even buy the oil and filter for what they charge me to do an oil change.Thanks Jason.

Review №58

I referred my uncle to Leonards. Needless to say they completely tried to deceive the problem making more issues than they were charged on parts over 100%. Part cost from manufacture was $240.00 they wanted to charge $560.00 + an additional $160.00 for gaskets,, which came with the part for $240.00. $520.00 over charge on 1 part. These guys are scam artists. Be sure and get a second opinion, better yet stay away. Tried to advise a rear brake job not needed. STAY AWAY!!!! SCAMMERS THEY Quoted $2000.00 for job. Got it done for $600.00 with a certified mechanic. STAY AWAY!!!!

Ive been coming to Leonards Garage for about two years now and theyve been amazing. Everyone at the shop is super helpful and very personable. They also never try and talk down to me when I dont understand part of a repair or a process, and take the time to explain what it is theyre doing and why so I can learn and understand. Pricing is competitive (sorry I shopped around!) and the product they use have always been quality.I can safely say I would refer Leonards to my mother and can rest easy knowing theyll treat her right. As a matter of fact... I have referred her here!

Leonard’s Garage always takes care of me and I can count on an honest mechanic to let me know if I have any issues that any of our cars need to be addressed. In the auto mechanic repair business it is all about HONESTY. Leonard is a former police officer and his staff and mechanics are honest and professional. We bring all of our cars to Leonard’s Garage although we live 35 miles away at the other end of Travis County- that’s how much we trust these guys!!Kevin Madison

Quick Service with reliable results. I have been coming to them for over 4 years since I moved here to Austin. This is the second car I have now and they continue to provide quality service most times same day. This time I brought my car in last minute for a oil change and to get new breaks. I brought it in by 9am and they had it ready to go by 4pm not only done but washed and looking good. I would highly recommend them for your automobile.

Don’t take your car here! Don’t take your motorcycle here! They’re expensive and slick. They seem very nice but are not! They don’t know enough about motorcycles. They could even adjust my clutch correctly.After having my motorcycle worked on by Leonard’s I figured I’d give them a chance with my car. I took my car there several times I it was expensive but I wanted a near by mechanic I could trust. Then I had some work done on my transmission. When I came to pick up the car my a/c wasnt working. I knew what the problem was because I know something about cars and Ive seen the same problem on a different car. Leonard’s told me that it was broken when it came in which wasnt true. I had some words with Jason (the manager I think?) about this and he accused me of taking advantage of them. HA…. A mechanic saying that a customer is taking advantage of them is very funny! Then in so many words he called me a liar. I pride myself on being a very honest person. Then he banned me from coming back after I though he hung up on me and I sad some words. As if I would ever go back to Leonard’s after they called me a liar and treated me so badly. Don’t go here if you know anything about cars. Dont go here period.

I am a native to South Austin, and this is true of our family’s favorite locally-owned business for vehicle service and repair, Leonard’s garage.

I showed up just before 6 PM closing with all the warning lights flashing in my car.

Fantastic Service!!! Had a flat tire, called Leonards, they sent a very nice guy to my home, he put on the spare and drove it to the shop for me.Jason called right away and gave me the bad news that my tire was not repairable. He also informed me that all of my other tires were in badshape and he would recommend replacing them. I appreciated that because if there is one thing I hate is to be stranded on the road with any kind of car trouble, even a flat tire! Also, because I have been trusting Leonards Garage for years to be honest with me and take care of my car needs. I gave him permission to change out all the tires (Good thing they sell tires also) and they delivered my car back to my home by 5pm!I Highly Recommend Leonards Garage, for their Professional and Friendly Service, Excellent and Knowledgeable Technicians and most of all for their Honesty and Integrity!

Review №66

Dont go here. While this may have been a good shop previously, I dont think it is today after their move to 1st street. Long story short. They had me spend a lot of money- didnt fix my problem. They were clearly lying to me about more than 1 thing. They said that I needed a new alternator. That new alternator lasted about 2 miles. My car broke down as soon as I left the shop after paying them nearly $3000. The car broke down again after replacing the 2nd alternator.

I brought in a CJ7 with an engine knock and I received the answer that I thought I would get it needs a new motor but the total cost to do so would have been way more than I thought the vehicle was worth. I asked for alternatives and to my surprise Josh did offer a few options and unfortunately it was not what I was interested in paying for. Leonards Shop to their credit offered to call around to other mechanic shops to provide me with additional possibilities to have my CJ7 repaired. I am impressed with their desire to make their potential customers happy and their willingness to help me find alternative methods to meet my repair needs.

I walked in off the street with a tire issue. They took me in immediately, diagnosed a leak, and patched the tire for $30.

ONLY place I take my vehicle to. Austin family owned from Grandfather down - but heres BIG truth.. I have 2005 BMW and single mom. I had A LOT of work to be done. I took Leonards quote of all work to FOUR different shops that could work on BMWs. 2 matched, 1 was $10 under, and one said they couldnt do it for that. Since I already knew I could count on Leonards - there was no question. THEN he helped me narrow down to what I could afford now - and then the rest later - with same labor charges. Hes kept me and my son safe and able to get to and from work and school.

A friend had suggested I call Leonards Garage about getting a new exhaust installed on my 2006 C6 Corvette. Andrew was extremely friendly over the phone and said to bring by the car so they could give me an estimate. Leonards beat the best price I found anywhere, included a warranty. Andrew and Kyle even suggested that I record a video of the stock exhaust to compare the new one to. Leonards got the exhaust and installed it in only one day. They had it parked right up front and were waiting for us when we came to pick it up. My wife and son even commented that the guys at Leonards seemed to be as excited as I was about the new exhaust. Exceeded my expectations!.

Review №79

Very nice people and management but service can be a little slow and you should really check your tires after the complimentary tire rotation to make sure youre still good to drive.The first time I came I was told my front tires were worn and would need replacing soon and they wouldnt rotate it because it wasnt safe. When I was leaving the shop I had to make a U-turn and my car loss traction and I nearly went into the wall. I pulled over immediately and called and it turns out they HAD rotated my tires. If I had been driving quickly it wouldve been an accident. I drove back immediately so they could fix it and I guess they made their point so I just purchased new tires. I returned at 12pm and didnt leave until 3 or so because they needed to put on the tires. I was pretty miffed about the ordeal but subsequently theyve made up for it by dealing with my warranty company for me instead of having me do it myself.

I got a random mail coupon for a $25 oil change and went here since neither Midas nor Austin automotive responded to the appointment requests I placed on their sites. Leonards responded back in an email at 7am the following morning so I went with them after reading the reviews and Im glad I did. The manager of the location and another man were there in the front office the whole day. Nice guys, organized and tidy, prompt service. They even vacuumed my car out and performed a safety check as a complimentary service. It felt like good old-timey car servicing. Ill only be going back here and recommending them to anyone who asks.

From when you first arrive on the premises, I felt relief wash over me when the gentleman inside took all of my info and problems and gave me a brief overlook of what may or may not need to be fixed.

Do not waste your time!! They over charge for parts and labor. I paid $540 for a new starter/labor. 3 weeks later my truck wouldnt turn over. Why? The starter was a lemon and they didnt even provide a warranty for the part. I went to a different mechanic. Parts/ Labor - $230. Maybe, if I was an older fair skinned male, they wouldnt have taken advantage of me. Ill never take another vehicle there nor will I ever recommend them to anyone.

I have known Leonard for about 15 years as a police officer and his shop has taken care of all of my auto mechanic needs for about ten years. HONEST & CAPABLE. His shop on South 1st street is run by a former Marine -Jason. All the mechanics there (Craig is my primary mechanic) are all top notch and certified. Not the cheapest but far from most expensive but most important of all- they do it RIGHT AND ARE HONEST!! You get what you pay for. I drive from Lakeway to South Austin to have them service all of my cars.

From driving us home from the shop, to communicating honestly about options and costs we felt very well taken care of in a scary situation! We will definitely go back to Leonards Garage & Service center in the future! Thanks yall!

Good honest mechanic. My issue resolved itself and they didnt try to charge me for some unnecessary repairs. They just charged me for an hour if labor, which was less time than they actually spent, I think.

Family owned. Friendly. Honest. Great work. I’ve been taking my car to Leonard’s for three years and recommend them to everyone! I wouldnt take my car anywhere else.

I took my motorcycle in for a minor repair. They completed the repair the same day I called, completed it sooner than expected, and charged a fair price. They were very accommodating and easy to deal with. Ill go there again.

The guys over at Leonards are great. Got me right in, extremely knowledgeable, clear to the point, not trying to scam you and help you make the best decision. Highly recommend!

I took my car to Leonards Garage (Lamar location) to get my brakes and rotors done. I had not yet had to have my car serviced in Austin yet, so I was nervous to choose a random garage.I could not have chosen better! I was very pleased with their customer service--so much so, that I have been telling all my friends and family. I like how they give you a little coupon for your next visit (based on how much you spent the last time). I felt very much at ease, they used quality parts, the price was reasonable, and they seem to have done a good job all around... I couldnt be happier, and I will be coming back for all service I have to have on my car. Thanks, Leonards!
