I've brought both my Honda and VW here for years. Always good service and I never worry about my car when I leave. I've never had to bring my car back for any work and I've had brake work, oil changes, water pump, 60k maintenance, suspension, and a major repair quoted $2400 from the dealer for $1600, done in two business days. My man Tam is always business oriented and wants to get me sorted ASAP. No lobby, no waiting area, just drop your car and when you come back it's fixed properly.

I had a positive dealing with Le's Auto for a complex (and expensive) repair. I took my VW EOS convertible for turbo replacement--I had 3 other estimates before I tried him. Tam and team observed social distancing throughout. He provided detailed information and an estimate that was on the lower side of everyone. It was a big job; he ordered the part and worked on it for 2 good days and got the car up and going. I would certainly recommend him and trust to go back to him.

I never am a big fan of getting work done on my car but Tam and his team made it easier than ever- I dropped in for an oil change on 8/21 and when I pulled one, on of Tam's team hopped up and was ready to work on my car immediately. I was a bit taken aback as I am used to these areas where you set an appointment and your car sits in a lot for 15 minutes before anyone looks at it, etc. The service was quick, the people were super friendly, and Tam recommended some items my car could get some fixing on without much pressure. He was really knowledgable and seemed first and foremost to want the best

They're nice and informative. I went in for an oil change and I like how they never walked away from my car. Other places would walk away while waiting for the oil to drain. Fast and precise work, didn't seem like they were just trying to hurry up and rush me out.
Thanks again!

Very fair and honest. They worked fast and went above and beyond to get my van fixed. Good communication during repairs and straight forward, good prices for the Bay Area. Highly recommend you support this local business.

We went to Le's for body work on our car after it was involved in an accident. Tam and his crew made the car look better than it did before the accident! We were really impressed with their work and the price. So glad to have found a good mechanic close by.

Le's has fixed my car for me multiple occasions, I as a woman feel comfortable taking my car there without feeling like someone is taking advantage of me. Prices are reasonable and customer service is great. Tam is always very friendly and listens to what your saying. William worked on my car this time and he was friendly, talked to me about my concerns, showed me the original part that needed replacing before putting the new part. I plan on returning in the near future.

This non-decript repair shop located at 1550 E 12th (corner 16th Ave) looks quite ordinary, but owner Tam is quite adept at servicing both new and vintage cars.
He has assembled a great group of people capable of repairing almost any car, including my 1987 Jaguar Vanden Plas.
He corrected a severe handling problem and safety issue when he diagnosed a leaking rear brake caliper and a minute leak in one of the dual gas tanks. With the resources of Jag Heaven , Tam removed/replaced the gas tank, fuel gauges, rear calipers and pads and now this 31 yr old car performs better than when it was new in

I called Le's when the engine in my Tacoma broke. They were able to give me a quick and competitive quote with fast turn around. I was really happy with the experience and when I went down to meet them, they were friendly and were able to make time even though they were clearly busy. Good shop.

I've gone to Le's shop on several occassions for an oil change. There has never be any problems or disappointments in their service or mannerism. They offer quick, reliable service at a decent price. As a matter of fact I'm on my way over there tomorrow (4/5/17) to get my usual oil change and inquire about some other services needed for my car. I'm looking forward to their never changing service in addition to their quite nature and politeness.

Ok, so I brought my car in for oil changes 3 times. My 3rd time is going to be the last, I only came here because they have the electronic lift where it lifts the whole car. Anyways my 3rd time here, the guy changing my oil is nice and I trust his work but it's the owner (Tam) I am pissed off at.

1) he charged me extra for using my debit card without even telling me. Last time I went there it was $33, today it's $35. Never mind the $2 extra, but it's the indecency to let me know ahead that there will be an extra charge.

2) After my car was done, I asked for a receipt. He wrote

I went to this place few times, today I go there to check my front brake, one guy take a look for my car, and drive for 2 minutes and said I need to replace my brake, and I said I don't have time, I might go back the next day, and the guy said I need to pay $35 for checking the car, and I say u never told me cost that much for 2 minutes of checking, at the end I pay that $35. They should let me know at the beginning that is charge that much, they make me look like a fool, I will tell all my friends to not going there, and I will tell all the people that they are not an honest shop!

Quick and friendly service/staff.

Came here on a rainy day and was assisted right away for an oil change. I ask for synthetic blend and the guy had his men work on it right away. I guess there's a price difference if you're pay cash and card but I was charged $37 cash for my oil change.

After my car was done, I reset my maintenance warning on my car for another 5k. When I arrived home, I notice the sticker shown 3k. So I hope it's actually 5k!

All 5 of our family cars are serviced and repaired by Tam, going on 6 years now. Never a problem with the shop. Prompt and honest service at a fair and reasonable price. Will continue to take my business there.

Went to this place several times. It's good at the beginning and thought they were honest. One time, took my car in for a 90K service and had all my car belts change. After few months later, the car started squeaking. I took it back and he told me the barring was bent and it's eating at the belt. I told him I had it changed there few months back and he gave me an excuse that it's not the belt but the barring. So I thought maybe it's not their fault.

Few months later I took my other car in because it had a flat tire. The tire was not repairable so I purchase 2 tires, 1 of them

I needed to get my 2003 Chevy Express van oil changed and went around looking for the best price. Le's Auto Body & Engine Repair happen to be the best one and I must say they deserve 10 stars if I can give it to them, they were fast and efficient, we got in and right out of there, it was less then 45 mins. As a business owner myself I don't have time to wait all day, just to get my oil change. If you need a fast and cheap oil change this is your place to go! I'll see you guys again next time in September thats my next oil change due date.

I have been going to this guy for almost 10 years now and brought 3 cars (Toyota, Acura, BMW) over that span and had a range of simple maintenance to major repairs done. Tam (the owner) has almost and encyclopedic knowledge of repairing cars. Prices are very reasonable and gets things done in a timely manner.
