Looks like the day I bought it! My car was full of four years worth of dog hair, dirt and grime from camping trips, and a pretty gnarly smell. There were also mineral deposits from sprinkler water that seemed to be baked on permanently. I really couldn't believe it when I saw the finished product. The car looked brand new. Lynton is awesome. Super nice guy, kept me updated throughout the process. He was upfront about pricing and the quote was accurate. Great deal for the amazing job he did. Thanks! read more

Family friendly, honest, fair and reasonable pricing for services. I brought my Nissan Xterra XE 4WD in for an oil change, brake and suspension inspection. I was experiencing braking issues and lots of road bouncing ride issues. Issues found were that shocks front and back, upper and lower control arms, and axles and swings links were extremely worn and damaged. They fixed and replaced and did a spectacular job. I highly recommend them for all your vehicles needs. read more

I just had a new alternator installed in my 2021 Toyota Avalon by L.E. Automotive and the entire process was smooth and went really, really well. I didn't expect to have to have any work done on a car as new as mine and when I called for an estimate, Lynton was quite surprised by this as well but offered a free diagnostic on my car for me. All 4 of the other repair shops I called wanted $80-$90 to diagnose my car's problem. Lynton was up front and fair and gave me a really decent quote to repair my car. I will only take our cars to L.E. Automotive from here on out. Great customer service and fair pricing! read more

Tough to find the location b/c the office and garage aren't adjacent to each other. The mechanics are accommodating and care about the outcome. read more

L E Automotive - Bike on rack behind truck - Auto Repair Near Me - Chico, California

See all

I've been a customer of LE Auto for 4 years. They started out good, but in my opinion over the last couple of years, their service has gone downhill. Their work is shoddy and they don't seem to pay attention to details. read more

We have taken our vehicles to Lynton at L.E Automotive for years. He takes great care of my car. He was also able to diagnose a problem that the dealer was not able to figure out. His prices have always been fair. I recommend him with confidence. You will be glad you found him. read more

Friendly service, and they reply on Yelp! Most importantly, they made me feel comfortable in their shop. The workers were welcoming and relaxed. I had 3 things I needed- diagnostics and fix of a squeaking belt, brakes replacement, and tires rotated. They said the squeaking belt just needed tightening and they did that for free! (Since it was just a tightening of a bolt or something) They also rotated my tires for free since they already had them off for the brakes. I will definitely be using this business for any future automotive needs. Highly recommended! :) read more

They are great Always helped me with making repairs on my grandson's car. He's in Chico, California going to college and they take care of his car. read more

Had an issue with one of my vehicles undercarriage. Received good service and helpful recommendations from friendly staff. Pricing was extremely fair. I'd go here again for my vehicle repair needs. read more

I cannot say more good things about this business! I bring my car all the way from Portland Oregon to be serviced here. They are incredibly honest and understanding and get the job done right every time. Their pricing is stellar as well as their work. 10/10 If you are confused about cars and don't want to be taken advantage of, bring your car here!!! read more

So glad to have found this place for my car. They were friendly and able to schedule me for my oil change super quick. Seems like all the other places in town (who I haven't already heard horror stories about) always tell you there's nothing for 2 weeks like it's some universal scripted response. L.E. Automotive got me in right quick. I'm going to come here for everything car related going forward! read more

We have had a wonderful Experience .. I have had both our cars detailed Then this week I had my car worked on Bumper replaced and Exterior detailed We are so happy with the results read more

Took great care of both our cars. Gave us very reasonable prices and quotes on other things that needed work. It's less stressful now knowing that there's somewhere to go and someone to go to who knows and handles Nissan's and Honda's perfectly. On the plus side, Linton and his staff are super nice and friendly. Always irie with these guys! read more

So happy that my car was inspected, diagnosed, and fixed! I was having starter issues and my car was in and out in less than 2 days. Highly recommend! read more

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAY AWAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could write -5 stars I would. This "mechanic" who owns the shop is literally is nothing but a Fraud. I came in for an oil change he took 2 weeks to get me in. Which I thought was unusual because it only takes 20 mins to 1 hour max. Then he calls me saying I need new brake pads ( even though they were not making any screeching noise which are built into the brake pad to let you know its get time to change the brake pads. Then he trying to sell me everything he can the serpentine belt, AC belt, etc. so I again gave him trust that is is in bad condition. - after that first oil change they screwed something that holds the motor oil. and I assumed since it was just changed it might just be minor oil residue. this all happened over a period of 5-7 months first the very first day I met him for a radiator install, I've had routine mantiance on my car on the regular and in period of 5 years I had no issues at all with the professionals. Guess what happens a couple months later but the entire alternator was drenched in oil. The which is something he should be able to look at but when I call him he will tell me come in on XX/XX/XX date. he never called me or followed up with me and now there oil leaking on everything I gave this business over $1000.00 easy and then after asking him to fix the gasket he texted me back say he doesn't want to do the repair because he said exactly this" I cant work on your car because its likely another leak and/or gasket. then he claims my wheels need to be replaced. lol no joke, I paid him to buy new lug nuts and for being a "mechanic" he didn't realize he purchased the wrong nuts and I simply went into my garage and grabbed the originals and the car was smooth and perfect until he was playing around with things that never had an issue in such a short time frame. The car only is worth $3000 so the best thing for anyone who got ripped off by this shop just google Bureau of Automotive Repair- they will have your back and its not his first complaint from what they told me. GOOD LUCK, I hope my feedback helps! read more

Excellent customer service, very reliable and reasonably priced. Their staff are friendly and very good

Asked for a quote for an oil change and battery replacement via Yelp, and they replied quickly with a great price. Service was quick and they gave me a good rundown of some issues the car might have but didn't try to upsell me. If you're worried about a mechanic attempting to take advantage this is a place I trust not to do that. read more

These guys are super quick and accommodating!! They were friendly and professional. They did the required service. They also pointed out some other issues but were super low key. I'll be a return customer! read more

Great prices and fair quotes, no scams or BS. Family owned business that's truly looking to service your vehicle to the best of their abilities. Would highly recomendable this shop to anyone, well trusted and operated! read more

Bought a car for my wife and it had a few minor issues and we were looking around town for a fair priced and honest mechanic, as we are newer to Chico and haven't needed one yet. We found them on google and gave them a call for a quote to replace the motor mounts and was very fair priced and allowed me to express my concerns. While working on the car they found a few other things that needed some attention.They were very genuine and friendly. Took great care of us and made us feel very comfortable throughout. read more

We called for a headlight repair on our car and they got us in the next day and they realized it wasn't the headlights but more of an electrical problem and they were able to fix it for half the price of the dealership. They were also able to diagnose and correct a check engine light that was on (for N.C.) Hard to find that kind of service these days. Highly recommended that you go and see these nice folks. Thank you L.E. Automotive read more

Superb customer service! I had my car detailed here recently. Lynton was so friendly and accommodating. They were able to get me in quickly. The only issue I had was that I wanted more detailed cleaning than I originally received. But, Lynton had me bring it back in and they did an over the top job, including removing my seats to make sure I was satisfied. He even gave me a loaner car to use while they did the work. I highly recommend LE Automotive. read more

This husband and wife team are a great example of honest and reliable family car service. I plan to take all my car repair needs to LE Automotive. read more

Extremely happy with this place. Needed a radiator replaced quick for my truck and this was the best place. They responded quickly asking for more details, then responded with quote all within 15 minutes of searching yelp. The best part is that he had me bring it down to the shop immediately (around 1pm) then called me to come pick it up by 5pm the crazy thing was this was even on a Saturday. Very professional and extremely reasonable priced. His estimate was exactly what I paid. Will be doing business a lot more in the future. read more

Really great service! They were able to see me on such a short notice because I was in town only for the weekend. Helped me save a lot of money, very reliable! Definitely would recommend. read more

I took my Civic in to get new brake pads and an oil change. Lynton was extremely prompt, professional and accommodating. I dropped off my car in the morning and he even offered to drive it back to my house later that afternoon. Really incredible service. Plus his prices were extremely reasonable- really a great experience overall. Check it out if you need any work done! read more

Hi this is John with the 99 k2500. I HAD to leave Lynton a good review after the wonderful experience I just had with his shop. Will be returning for regular oil changes and other service with our vehicles For Certain! After another ship improperly diagnosed the problem with my Chevy this shop took the time to diagnose and fix it right and saved me even more money!! Thanks!!! read more

This one's a little late, but Lynton and LE Automotive are by far the best in Chico. Super fair, super friendly, and they do their best to remember you and be friendly. I've recommended people come here, and they've all said the same. If LE can't do it, I truly think nobody would be able to. Lifelong customer as long as I'm in the area, I guarantee it. Took my car in for an issue I was DREADING it wasn't, and Lynton got it fixed cheaper and faster than I've ever been quoted. Legitimate local heroes read more

Lynton was highly recommended by our friends and we now know why. He's super friendly, honest, and takes the time to explain in detail (and in an easy to understand way) the options you have for repair. Prices are excellent too. read more

Took my car in to get it detailed prior to selling. Linton quickly responded to my request for a quote and was accommodating in dropping off the vehicle. They got the work done quickly and did a wonderful job- my car looks like new! read more

Always hooks it up. He goes above and beyond for his customers. Always makes sure you get the best price possible. He is very knowledgeable and won't rip you off. Don't go to any other mechanic, Lynton is great! He also works on my husbands van and does an amazing job and gets down to the problem. He always gives him great deals. He even went so far that he went to a junk yard to get a part. Thank you Lynton for your awesome customer service!! We appreciate you. read more

Honest mechanics are hard to find. Look no further. My car stayed on the road way longer than anyone else thought it should thanks to Lynton. Thanks Lynton. read more

Lynton and his staff were very friendly and honest. I let him know that I planned on driving my car across the country in a couple weeks and he searched it thoroughly for any work it needed. He was very honest with me and only did work on things that he believed needed it at the time. Very reasonable pricing and trustworthy guys. Along with all of that, they gave me a ride home from the shop after dropping my car off and dropped my car off at work for me when they were done with it. I highly recommend L.E automotive for your car needs! read more
