I noticed a transmission leak on my vehicle and decided to look for an expert transmission service…read moreprovider near me, and came across Leale's as I always look into reviews to see what people are saying i noticed honesty and to me that is key, so I've decided to contact them. And they told me bring the vehicle in for inspection. I arrived about 15 minutes before they open and surprisingly the gentlemen instead of pushing me away by telling me we are still not open asked me to come in and I was able to leave my car that is above and beyond especially because I expected a please wait.We're not open yet. So they contacted me that day. Giving me a price range. And they kept their word. My vehicle was there over the weekend, the next day, I noticed a check engine light on. So I decided to drive back To Leale's they put it in the scanner. And they noticed that it had a code related to the cadillac converter one of the gentleman there told the one that was scanning for codes. Raise up the vehicle, make sure that all the sensors are connected. They could have missed not connecting one. And that can be the cause of the check engine light. They did remove that check engine light. And also they had the person that was working on my car. The day before, and he mentioned that one of the gaskets in the exhaust before the Cadillac converter was a little deteriorated, and they recommended that I change that. So I do appreciate the honesty. My car is Running even better than before, as they did not just fix the leak but actually serviced the transmission. I would definitely recommend this place. It is hard to find Honest mechanics And Quality service also customer service was great clean shop respect you guys.

They were easy to talk to and explained the rationale for why some things were more immediate versus others and the inspection itself was easy and thorough, as is the online system to review estimates and approve/decline work. I live a bit out in Monterey, but have three cars and had been looking for a good, honest, and reasonably priced mechanic. I plan to use them as my regular moving forward.

Busy looking shop (messy) with parts all over - the kind of "working space" a mechanic might love. Talked with "Old Man Eddie" on the phone and I immediately sensed he knew his business (I'm a former mechanic). He asked the right questions, and diagnosed over the phone. They weren't the cheapest, but most reasonable (mid/low-priced) and good quality work! My clutch now works better than it did when new, smoooth like butter.
