I went to this shop years ago on a friend’s recommendation when I was 18 years old and driving a 1999 Toyota 4Runner. My check engine light was on, so I brought it in to have it diagnosed. The older man there actually yelled at me because I couldn’t clearly explain what sound the car was making. I was a teenager with very little car knowledge, which is exactly why I was there in the first place.

They charged me over $300 for a “tune-up.” A couple months later, the check engine light came back on. A friend took a look and found it was just a loose cable. While he was at it, he replaced the spark plugs and showed me that some of them were original and had clearly never been changed.

So I paid over $300, yet basic things like spark plugs weren’t even replaced. At the time I didn’t know enough to question it, but looking back it felt really wrong and scammy.

Because of that experience, I never went back. I now take my car to Leon’s, where they are respectful, friendly, and don’t talk down to you, especially if you’re a woman or not experienced with cars. I wouldn’t recommend this place based on my experience.

I am a single women who was looking for break pads rodars calibers for an older truck. I had taken my truck to another shop first because I thought that this was a standard job that most shops do for about the same price. I was extremely wrong about this. The firSt shop was asking 3200.00 dollars. I took it to another shop that said they would do the same work for 1000.00 dollars less. My father who lives across the country explained to me what I should be paying and told me I would be foolish to pay this. I found Wayne from a friend and called him. He quoted me a number much less and wound up doing the same work for less then he quoted me and all together for 2000.00 dollars less. I can’t even began to understand this. My father who is a good mechanic said that’s an honest number take my truck back there and have him do all the other little things I want done. I will do this. This is I believe the second review I have ever written. I just want to thank Wayne as much as I can.

Wayne went above and beyond to help get me on the road. I brought in a van full of problems and he went out of his way to efficiently fix her up and get me mobile again. He is an honest, good hearted man who really has his customers best interests at heart. I’d recommend him higher than any other mechanic I’ve ever gone too!
