Terrible drivers was turning onto north front street dude had signal on in small white tow truck . I Proceeded to pull out and this guy starts running his mouth instead of just turning. acting like I cut him off and this isn’t the first time I had another incident where another one of there drivers followed me to 7-Eleven acting like a manic driving at my bumper like he’s trying to repo my car that I own all of my cars are owned not financed so they definitely don’t know how to run a business right if there chasing down people they don’t know and breaking the law.

Just picked up my 2013 Ford Explorer that was in to get the hood repainted due to Ford not treating the aluminum properly before painting. To say that I am pleased with the results is an understatement. The paint looks great, the letters on the hood were replaced, and scratches that I didn't even mention were all buffed out. The car was clean inside and out all for less than half of what my neighborhood shop wanted to charge me. Thank you Chris. Well done!!

True artisans of auto body repair, the professionals at Lech restored my totaled MINI to better than it was before the accident, but moreover, they shared honest information throughout the process and treated me in such a way that spoke of their genuine care of people and love of cars. It's great to have my car back!

I've used this shop a few times and have recommended it for auto repairs. Recently I've had issues with diff damage appearing when cars are returned.
I've had paint appear on the interior once. My center console was damaged somehow by the shop and it's taken then over 3 months to fix after I had to show them the damage they did (they are very nice). My interior of the car had flooded and they did the bear minimum ( did not replace any air filters after I had asked to replace the interior one which I was told they had done, I discovered a dirty wet cabin air filter am I gonna

Well sadly, when I had my car towed to this location I have a whole bag of pot in my car, i had "roaches" left over weed and I guess the tower took it upon himself to take every last bit of it. When I called the same day I picked the car up the boy on the lhone answered and I explain how crazy it mustve sounded to him but I would have just wanted an honest apology from the man with the sticky fingers. All I got in return was "I understand and ill have my boss call you back" havent heard from this place in days noone ever called and i never got an apology for their EMPLOYEE STEALING

Had my motorcycle towed there after a accident and someone there probably the driver of tow truck stole my 800.00 speedometer and tachometer it was bolted on and some how it unbolted it's self and unplugged itself and walked away don't be fooled this goes on a lot from police reports so make sure you take your valuables and take pictures of you property or they say it wasn't there when they pick it up crooked company that's why there rated lower than others

This is the second time I've brought one of my vehicles to be repaired at Lech. This time there was little to no communication, but I understand they're busy. When I got my car back two weeks later the body work and windshield was perfect. When I got into my car I found my change purse completely cleaned out. Change is no big deal I get it but it is a big deal that there are apparent thieves working on people's cars. My car was also left FILTHY on the inside. They didn't even bother to wipe anything down or even throw away their trash. Took me all of 10 minutes to clean up but

My daughter was recently in a car and the car was a total loss. Kevin was very companionate and he helped my daughter when she went there to clean out her car. Even the driver that towed the car was very nice and caring. I’m glad they were called to do the job.

I've brought my 2016 Honda Civic EX-L to Lech twice: once for a flat tire and very recently (11.21.17) to have my rims painted. In both instances, I've found Lech to be straightforward and reasonable regarding both service and pricing. And every interaction with Chris Lech-Goulart, the general manager, Michael, Chris's husband and the head shop minion, and so far three of their staff (office minions Kevin and Lisa and shop minion Brenton) has been friendly and professional.

Because the rims were the larger expense (the flat only cost me $26), I'll comment a little more on

When I first moved to New Bedford my car got hit and my insurance gave me their name so I went to their auto body.i was so satisfied. I now bring my car there for oil changes and tires or anything else it needs. It is a pleasure to deal with everyone from the front desk to the mechanics.

Thank you
