Paid 1600 for a job and most of the problems were fixed except for one, which was one I particularly pointed out to them.. it wasn't fixed and so I took it back.. they worked on it again and guess what. My service engine light came on and the same problem is happening now. So I'm going to take my business elsewhere. I don't think this place is trustworthy at all.

I started to go here about a year ago, and they never did anything to make me doubt their honesty... Until last Friday. I brought my car in on Nov 10, 2017, and they said that my battery, intake gasket and starter needed to be replace in addition to an oil change. They said it would be about $1,000 (major surprise) due to the labor that goes into replacing the starter in the make and model of my car and that it would take more than one day to do the work, so they would start the work on Friday, and it will be ready on Monday which means a weekend without my car. I needed my car for the weekend, so I said I will drop it off Monday but do the oil change. I picked up my car, and the guy said they did the oil change, and they will keep my bill open until I drop off my car on Monday. During the weekend, I got a second and third opinion. They both said there is nothing wrong with the starter, and I just needed a new battery and a oil change (which Leonard's garage said they already did). So I choose to get the new battery and the oil change which came to a total of $300 which is much lower then the $1,000 that Leonards tried to charge me. Honestly, I will never go back there because I can not trust them. Seriously, they tried to turn a $300 bill into a $1,000. I got 2 other opinions and they both said the same thing. Do not trust these people, and if you bring your car there, get a second opinion because that helped me save $700.

Don't go here. While this may have been a good shop previously, I don't think it is today after their move to 1st street. Long story short. They had me spend a lot of money- didn't 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.

They have worked on my Audi multiple times. I have an older model (04'), so a light professional touch was needed. The mechanics at Leonard's know their stuff! They're also fast. 10/10 will go again.

I’ve been coming here to get my oil changed a few times. The service is always friendly and reasonably fast. Just today, I stopped by to ask if they could help me install a headlight in my Subaru. They did it in 5 minutes and didn’t even charge me a dime! Another place in south Austin tried to charge me $85 to change a lightbulb! I’ll definitely be back to Leonard’s!
