My car started smoking when I parked it Friday night and I don't live in Long Beach as of this dated review. I panicked. I found Lee's in the morning, called, and while Mr. Lee could not give me a definite diagnosis or approximate time, I felt assured that he would do right by me. I am absolutely thrilled by his service, how he has taken measurements to sanitize and protect his customers as well as his workplace, and would absolutely recommend them to anybody in the area. I am so fortunate that I found this man and his business today because I'm back in my car with no issues. Edit- my radiator cracked! The smoke was steaming. I read what horrible things could end up happening to my car. It's a 2000 model but only 230,000 miles! He was able to get parts in on a Saturday right away and I picked it up the same day, closer toward the end of day. I'm happy about that! Price was approximate for labor/time and parts! read more

Lee's Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

My car stopped working and wouldn't turn on but when I finally got it to turn on, I immediately took it to the first body shop. This shop is owned and managed by Mr. Kim (he took over Mr. Lee's shop). Mr. Kim was incredibly kind and fair when it came down to my auto repair. I ended up needed a new battery and he was able to install it right away and it came with a warranty. He doesn't take appointments- it's first come, first serve. I highly recommend! read more

Once again I am so thankful for Lee's auto!!! I called early in the morning asking if I could bring my car in for an oil change...he said sure! After the oil change was completed I asked if he could take a look at my license plate frame and he fixed it in a few minutes..no charge!!! Always my first call when I need anything related to my car! As a side note this was one of our hottest days last week... read more

Spencer was great! He took our car in for a smog check. There was one person ahead of me but only took 20 mins. There was plenty of hand sanitizer and places to sit. Spencer is a one man army and was very reliable. Call ahead to make sure there isn't too many people ahead of you. Plenty of parking and easy access into the lot. All those cute suff animals is his daughters! read more

It's nice to have a reasonable mechanic you can trust who will be honest and not rip you off. That's Spencer. Best mechanic ever. Period. Checked a bunch of stuff for me, no charge.

Always gives me a better deal when other thieving mechanics try to rip me off. YOU NEED THIS GUY!!! Can't say enough good stuff about him. I live in Huntington Beach and drive 30 minutes to see him!! I will never go anywhere else. read more

Been bring my car to them for years and they've always been straight up and reasonably priced.

Awesome service. Brought some spark plugs to get replaced. Reasonable price for installation. In and out in less than an hour.

I've been going to this place now for five years and every time I go I get great service and excellent work done and it is fairly priced. I would definitely give him a look at before shopping around. read more

Very Honest and reliable mechanic service which is rare these days! Know that our neighborhood appreciate you!

Simply Amazing, they are honest, quick, no BS mechanics who know what you need and don't rip you off.

Spencer was amazing and an honest guy! Another smog test shop charged me double just to tell me my car wasn't ready for a test and failed. I stopped at Lee's and Spencer told me exactly what to do so my car can be ready. So obviously I came back to him to perform my smog check! It was quick and the price was great. Thanks again! read more

I took my car in last week to get brakes and rotors done. They replaced with no issue but about a week later my tires started knocking. I took back to them reported the issue and was told they don't balance tires and was not their fault. I had to take to another tire shop in town to fix the issue that they created. My lug nuts were put on almost hand tight and had to get my tires re-balanced. Would not recommend, they have terrible customer service, and questionable technical skills. read more

About a year ago I came in for an oil change and to replace one of my windshield wipers. Spencer told me to come back a few times because he was too busy. Fair enough - we had been taking both of our cars here for oil changes over the course of a few years so he recognized me as a repeat customer and I didn't mind returning when he could complete the job in a reasonable amount of time while I waited with my toddler. After he finally was able to work on my car, he shows me the replacement windshield wiper in its packaging and puts it on my car. At the time he was charging $34 for oil changes (I'm sure this price has gone up more recently with gas prices and inflation). He tells me my total is $110!!! I look at him surprisingly and ask why my bill is $110? He says the new windshield wiper is $60. I have no idea why he thought I would want a $60 windshield (which by the way ended up leaving streaks on my windshield not long after installing). Also the math doesn't add up - $60 for windshield, $34 for oil change and what about that $16 that is a mystery?? Labor for replacing a windshield wiper that takes less than a minute?? I told him I expected the windshield wiper to cost around $20-30 (as most no frills windshield wipers cost) and he said this one was very good quality. He definitely should have asked me first if I wanted to spend an extra $74 for a windshield wiper before installing on my car. Never returned again after feeling like I got ripped off! read more

Quick, friendly and got the job done! reasonable price as well. this is the go-to place for getting that smog handled!

Took my 2010 Honda Civic in for a/c service. Spencer called me told me what needed to be repaired and a fair estimate. My car was done quickly and the a/c is good to go. Service is great, cost is fair and repairs are prompt. The mechanics wear masks and are following COVID safety protocols. Highly recommend Lee's Auto Service. read more

2 years later Spencer is still giving amazing service. Came in for a smog test and left within 10 minutes. Glad I remembered this place and would defintely still recommend to anyone out there looking for a no jassle smog test! read more

Had an oil leak which the mechanic at Lee's diagnosed correctly. It was a rear main seal which was replaced but after the fix it was still leaking and a bolt was left unscrewed under my car. After bringing it back in to fix the bolt they saw the persisting leak but didn't point it out. I decided to go to another shop where there was a bit more communication, skill and technical abilities with repairs. Not a bad experience, but be wary for larger repairs here. read more

Will keep bringing my autos back to Lee's. Great service & Mr Lee didn't do unnecessary work. I was told after inspection that I needed to take my car to the Dealer, with no charge for the inspection. read more

I only trust this shop in LB. Lee is such an honest person. He showed me thing that I needed to update on my car but he never push me to do. He suggested, not like when you go to other shops they tried to scared you. . Being a woman is a bit challenging to go to an auto shop but I feel safe with Lee's Auto shop! 2 time at the shop.. Thank you read more

I've been taking my car here since I moved to Long Beach last summer and it's been great. Quick and easy, good prices for sure. Lee(im guessing is the guy running the place) is really nice and takes great care of my car every time I've brought it in. Highly recommend trusting your car at Lee's! read more

AC problems, was recommended by a friend to go here, and I gotta say, my experience told me that they are very honest, Came in without an appointment, told Spencer my problem and he had me pull right in, and they started trouble shooting. And said I needed a part, so i left the car with them,... So i get a call and he says its bad news and says its electrical or your computer and we don't do that, my immediate thought was oh crap im paying for some parts and labor and the car isn't fixed.. so i get there and he recommends me to another shop and says, we took the new parts out since you didn't need them and there's no charge. That amazed me since I know a lot of shops that would say it's$200 just to look. Anyways I've seen a lot of positive reviews and they are much deserved. Thanks lee's auto. and Spencer... You guys will get more business from me. read more

Been coming here for a few years. Honest mechanic. Got an oil change and smog check and was out of there in an hour. Highly recommend

I had went to ACA Automotive and they quoted me over $3,500 to do a repair that at Lee's came to under $320! I am thankful that Spencer and the mechanic were honest and showed me the issue up front that was my original concern. read more

Lee offers affordable prices and gets to the point when explaining what's wrong with your car. He is trustworthy and I take my car to him even though I don't live in LB. I also recommended him to my stepmom and she really liked him as well. He does a good job and is fast when working on your car. read more

Today i went to ask for a quote for a simple "oil change ." The person i spoke to with told me he "Doesn't Do" oil changes?? I was confused because according to yelp reviews people have been going there for over 20 years?? It didn't make sense? I guess this mechanic is also a liar who cannot be trusted... Here i thought maybe for once i'll find a honest and trustworthy mechanic...nevermind, their all the same. Don't waste your time and get a quote somewhere else! read more

Never much of a wait and always been helpful. I've had 3 different cars throughout the years with different idiosyncrasies and they have always done as much as they can to get them to pass. read more

Spencer has been helping me out for the past couple of years and as long as I live in the LA area, I will keep coming back. I have an older car and due to shoddy mechanics from elsewhere, I keep having to fix things that were already "fixed" or "repaired". I found Lee's when my engine was leaking. Other mechanics tried to lie to me and tell me the leak has to do the the fuse!/electronics! (Wtf?!) I left immediately and found Lee's Auto Services. And I'm glad I did cause it turns out the prior mechanic didn't bother to change a gasket when they did the timing belt. (It's a long story) After this incident, I'd bring my car here when I had any of my car issues. They advertise smog checks and oil changes (decently priced, see photo for prices!) but they also do repairs. Recently the old couple who owned the shop has retired and now Spencer owns the shop. Every time I come to Lee's, I never doubt their workmanship nor will they try to overcharge for their services. (This is in comparison to other mechanics I've gotten quotes from and work done at.) There is no lying, upselling and it is straight to the issue. Another perk is that they're open on Saturdays! One con is when it is busy, services is a bit slower since there is only two people working. To summarize, every girl (& guy) who drives needs a good mechanic with integrity! Come here if you are in need of a good mechanic read more

Lee's Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

They fixed the problem I had with my car during the week. I called the day of and they took care of the problem. The quote for the repair was a little high at first, but after actually fixing the car they charged me less since they didn't need to use a replacement part. I appreciate their honesty as they could have charged me more and I wouldn't have known it. They finished 3 hours earlier than estimated. Overall good work, you can trust that you won't get scammed! read more

Family run business, so nice to feel like you can bring your car in and have a real and trustworthy mechanic to go to. Thank you.

Always excellent and honest. Great service and quality maintenance. I would definitely recommend.

Called in for a suspension inspection, but no one answered the phone. I actually called about 5 times until I heard a beep. No voicemail set up and didn't even bother to return my call. Disappointed, especially since it's down the street from where I live. Also wanted to support my local businesses but it seems they don't need it. read more

Sad I have to write this review after going here several times in the last TWO YEARS with excellent service but the lack of care and responsibility that this garage was willing to take is unacceptable. Went to drop my car off for the standard oil change that I've gotten done every time by Spencer. I know that's his name cause he's called me to pick up my car and his name is on his shirt. I went to pick up my car after it's oil change upon getting into my vehicle and attempting to start the car I could feel that the ignition was not right and the the vehicle wouldn't start at all. After several attempts I finally got out and got Spencer over to look at it and he couldn't tell me what happened. I explained to him something had to have transpired during the time the vehicle was in his possession because when I dropped it off everything was working fine. He got on the defense and didn't take ownership for what either he or someone else did to the ignition. At this point I'm stuck and I have to leave my car here so they can try to fix it. Next day he calls me to come look at the broken part (already knew it was broken hence the car not starting) and he says that it was coincidental. I argue that it wasn't and that they had to have jerked the key either in or out of the ignition. Tells me they can fix it but for $260 and I might need to get key reprogrammed for $150 and that he wouldn't have the car ready till 5:30 leaving me another full day without a car. Told him that wasn't right and he didn't like it. We had a verbal exchange and nothing was solved. I ended up buying the part FROM MY OWN POCKET and then they "didn't charge labor" for the fix. IT WAS YOUR FAULT I SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN CHARGED ANYTHING. Had Spencer come at me professionally the first time all of this could've been avoided. He didn't offer any solution from the start he didn't even take ownership that they broke it. Instead he tried to blame me. Way to go Spencer. You lost a customer. Beware taking your vehicle here and leaving it unsupervised. Shady. read more

Took my car in for the first time here. Spencer told me how much the oil change was and Pak took care of my car. Also he checked the tire pressures and reset my oil change indicator on my dashboard. Nice family owned business. This will be my go to auto place for my Toyota Prius. read more
