This is a great place to service your car. Brian, the service manager, greets you with a smile and is very helpful. Their technicians are honest and reliable. They always do a good job on servicing my 4Runner. Thanks James! Service: Oil change

Do NOT take your car here for a pre-purchase inspection. They inspected the car we were buying and told me everything was fine. First, the driver seat belt was kinda busted (it latches sometimes and does not latch some other times), second, the driver seat window is stuck sometimes when it's too hot. And then we took the car to another mechanic, they told us the tires were very worn down, there's also a nail in one of the tires. There's also a slight crack in the windshield. I cannot believe how these things were missed from Leonard. We already bought the car so it's too late to change anything. But, do not take your car to LEONARD for inspection. I honestly did not know if they actually looked at the car at all. Because they also could not provide a list of things they checked and what conditions they are in.

I needed a quick repair on my car and was able to get in the same day. I’ll be using Leonard’s next time my car needs repair and I’ll be recommending them to people looking for a mechanic. Thanks for the speedy service! Service: General repairs & maintenance

Thank you for all you did for me!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you thank you!!!!!! Edit 8/2/22: I had to come back and elaborate on my post. My month was going most wonderfully (emphasis on the sarcasm); and then my car wouldn't start the next morning. 2nd day on the job and just after two hours I get a call to come back and pick up Boo aka, my car! Mechanic Chuck, You are my savior! Boo is still going!!! I'mma come back that is for sure and soon!! Work had their doubts until they saw the receipt; THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!

Let me tell you my experience with Leonard's. 1st visit I got an oil change everything was smooth. 2nd visit my power steering bump broke and fluid got all over so they replaced the pump and a couple belt cost me +$2000 3rd visit the power steering pump they installed wasn't working so I took it back and it wasn't working as I thought so they had to replace it again, luckily free of charge. 4th visit got a normal oil change and filter change and had to do an engine diagnostics cause my wife took in the car and the person who serviced my vehicle said "This car is in great shape should keep running for a long time." 5th visit my vehicle is having a hard time starting got it towed in, turn out my engine valves were leaking which I knew about but they leaked to the point that it messed up the starter and some wiring so this cost me $1800. 6th visit my car is still having problem starting and I get it towed in again and they can not get it to repeat the problem and the car is starting fine and still charge me $80 for diagnostics. A couple week later my car won't start again and I will now never go back to Leonard's or recommend this shop to anyone. Services: Engine repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Battery

UPDATE: The starter they installed broke after 6 months, and started chewing at my flywheel every time I started my car. When I called them to offer to bring back their defective starter, as well as a report from the dealership showing the damage it had done, they notified me they'd only help me if they did the work themselves. The dealership was 30 min. north of them, and I needed my car that weekend. It was literally on the lift when they told me this. I'm already out the diagnostic fee from the dealer. For several reasons, this arrangement wouldn't work for me. They didn't want to hear it. Really an awful experience. Will never go here or recommend it again. --- The starter they used in my 2012 Civic (138k miles) was $347, which is by far the most expensive starter I had seen. Most seem to be between $70-$190. I'm glad the part is of such high quality, but with the age of the vehicle, I would have appreciated a more affordable part be used instead, or at least give me the option. When put on the spot, not being a mechanic, it's hard to push back on an estimate. Also, echoing the previous review, paying for the diagnostic ($80) after agreeing to use the services of the garage feels exorbitant.

I first found Leonard’s a few years ago due to their great Google reviews, and I was not disappointed. They have always been very upfront and honest with me about what repairs I needed and more importantly did not need. I can recall on more than 1 occasion that vehicle issues were so minor, they fixed complementary or advised on what really needed to be done. I can not recommend them enough, just a fantastic local business that truly earns their high praise.

There's a very good reason someone continues to get their car serviced at the same location for 32 years! Besides the exceptionally wonderful Customer Service, it's knowing that my vehicle will be checked to ensure it is in excellent driving condition. This particular business starts rolling our the red carpet the minute they pick up the phone. Thank you, Jonathan, and Crystal, for the fine service you provided during my last visit. Services: Oil change, Auto engine diagnostic

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!
