Literally will go there everytime now! I had an insane break in one week into moving in apparently they attempted to steal it failed and just ripped out my ignition module! He had my baby up and running again in less than a week and didn't break my bank at all! The pricing was affordable and he was willing to do half payments as I was in a tight spot after again just moving! 10/10 business and work! read more

See all

I came here to get my cooling check. My car leaks and I ask them to check it. The pipe was leaking and they said to change they had to move the water heater because it was in the way. NO! It's not in The way. They wanted 1200. Tom wanted an extra 400 to clean the engine intake. Don't let his niceness deceive you! Lastly when I didn't want to accept the offer. Tom blames his colleague for saying that they have to move the water heater to get to the pipe. I would not recommend this place. read more

I came in for a flat tire and oil change and they were so efficient and guided me of how to maintain my car for the long run without any pressure. The mechanics were fast and showed me what they were doing too! I will come back here again! Thank you Tam! read more

Unfortunately, my car was worse off after bringing it here. Had to bring it back after the first time because of a mistake on their part that they took responsibly for and fixed. This time, they aren't taking responsibility for an issue with the car one week after a major tune-up with them. Never going back here again! Overpriced and too many mistakes. read more

A decade or so ago i got my engine oil changed here. he found a problem with the oil system i wasn't familiar with. Le know his stuff. shop is very small and le seem to a one man shop. for that silly reason, i didn't return for any arduous repairs since most of the cars are left out in the open in his padlocked repair yard. read more

I've brought both my Honda and VW here for years. Always good service and I never worry about my car when I leave. I've never had to bring my car back for any work and I've had brake work, oil changes, water pump, 60k maintenance, suspension, and a major repair quoted $2400 from the dealer for $1600, done in two business days. My man Tam is always business oriented and wants to get me sorted ASAP. No lobby, no waiting area, just drop your car and when you come back it's fixed properly. read more

Just left the shop and am am very impressed with the speedy and affordable service I received plus the friendly and hardworking staff ! This was my first time going here for a smog test, but will definitely be back for other car needs in the future. Thanks so much ! read more

I've had my car serviced here twice. Prices are good, service is speedy and respectful. Will go back for future needs.

I got a serious flat tire on a saturday morning and luckily.. someone referred me to Le's right across the street from where I was stranded. Le was just what I was looking for to save the day - fast, patient and fair priced. Kinda like an older bro - seemed reliable and protective ... of my ride. Would go back for an oil change and other services. read more

Worst place to get alignment. After they was done drove around and the alignment was all off car pulls real hard to the left and they said I had to spend like 1k to fix a part that was cracked(didn't see it) took it to another shop and did alignment again and came out perfect. Will never go back there. Ps if it's sunny there alignment machine don't read it read more

Le's has fixed my car for me multiple occasions, I as a woman feel comfortable taking my car there without feeling like someone is taking advantage of me. Prices are reasonable and customer service is great. Tam is always very friendly and listens to what your saying. William worked on my car this time and he was friendly, talked to me about my concerns, showed me the original part that needed replacing before putting the new part. I plan on returning in the near future. read more

Le's Auto Body & Engine Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Oakland, California

Ok, so I brought my car in for oil changes 3 times. My 3rd time is going to be the last, I only came here because they have the electronic lift where it lifts the whole car. Anyways my 3rd time here, the guy changing my oil is nice and I trust his work but it's the owner (Tam) I am pissed off at. 1) he charged me extra for using my debit card without even telling me. Last time I went there it was $33, today it's $35. Never mind the $2 extra, but it's the indecency to let me know ahead that there will be an extra charge. 2) After my car was done, I asked for a receipt. He wrote me the receipt after he backed my car out of his shop into the middle of the street to complete my receipt. He didn't leave my car in his shop so another car can pull in while he was writing me the receipt (save him 2 minutes) while leaving my car dangerously parked in the middle of the street. I'm not coming here anymore!! read more

Quick and friendly service/staff. Came here on a rainy day and was assisted right away for an oil change. I ask for synthetic blend and the guy had his men work on it right away. I guess there's a price difference if you're pay cash and card but I was charged $37 cash for my oil change. After my car was done, I reset my maintenance warning on my car for another 5k. When I arrived home, I notice the sticker shown 3k. So I hope it's actually 5k! read more

my car was broken into 2 days ago and all my belongings were taken. and within hours, I saw my AirPods at this location and being used.

I brought my Mazda Cx9 in because I heard loud sounds when I was driving Le knew just what it was and was able to fix my car in the same day I was so happy because everywhere I went they wanted me to leave my car overnight, Thank you for getting everything done for me in the same day. Now I'm back rolling. read more

I've gone to Le's shop on several occassions for an oil change. There has never be any problems or disappointments in their service or mannerism. They offer quick, reliable service at a decent price. As a matter of fact I'm on my way over there tomorrow (4/5/17) to get my usual oil change and inquire about some other services needed for my car. I'm looking forward to their never changing service in addition to their quite nature and politeness. read more

Went to this place several times. It's good at the beginning and thought they were honest. One time, took my car in for a 90K service and had all my car belts change. After few months later, the car started squeaking. I took it back and he told me the barring was bent and it's eating at the belt. I told him I had it changed there few months back and he gave me an excuse that it's not the belt but the barring. So I thought maybe it's not their fault. Few months later I took my other car in because it had a flat tire. The tire was not repairable so I purchase 2 tires, 1 of them is a spare that I never used. couple months later when I took a drive trip, I got a flat again. Since I got the spare, I took it in to a tire place to get it swap. The person there told me my spare tire was over 12 years old, made in 2002 and that it can't be used. So Le's Auto sold me two 12 year old tires. They are bunch of lairs and I'll never go back there again. Beware going to this place. read more

I have been going to this guy for almost 10 years now and brought 3 cars (Toyota, Acura, BMW) over that span and had a range of simple maintenance to major repairs done. Tam (the owner) has almost and encyclopedic knowledge of repairing cars. Prices are very reasonable and gets things done in a timely manner. read more

Wow, after reading some of the earlier (angry) reviews, I thought I might share my experience. We have been using Le's for a number of years. First installing an engine in a 1988 Celica. And most recently when our 2001 Sienna van had computer issues. Yes, the repairs were costly (tried dealer service recently?). Costly but not unreasonable for the parts and labor involved in getting our van up to speed. Tam went out of his way to find less expensive, used parts to save us several hundreds of dollars. As I said, we had computer issues which were preventing our van from passing the bi-annual smog inspection. The process took a couple of weeks to track down. Tam switched out several computer components, replacing them with parts he had on hand to test each component. It took quite a bit to discover that the problem was a faulty ABS computer. (What the ABS computer has to do with smog is beyond me?!?) Tam was patient and really went out of his way to explain each step before proceeding. Except for the unavoidable (but entirely reasonable, due to circumstances) outlay of cash, the experience was probably the best automotive repair experience we have had. We will continue to use this excellent establishment! read more

He did an awesome job on my car twice. He gave me a price that you won't find anywhere else. Definitely recommend him to anyone with body damage, especially on the bumper. read more

I needed to get my 2003 Chevy Express van oil changed and went around looking for the best price. Le's Auto Body & Engine Repair happen to be the best one and I must say they deserve 10 stars if I can give it to them, they were fast and efficient, we got in and right out of there, it was less then 45 mins. As a business owner myself I don't have time to wait all day, just to get my oil change. If you need a fast and cheap oil change this is your place to go! I'll see you guys again next time in September thats my next oil change due date. read more

All 5 of our family cars are serviced and repaired by Tam, going on 6 years now. Never a problem with the shop. Prompt and honest service at a fair and reasonable price. Will continue to take my business there. read more

Very good mechanics.take of care anyone with great job and respect. Will recommended everyone to go there for any car problems.

I called Le's when the engine in my Tacoma broke. They were able to give me a quick and competitive quote with fast turn around. I was really happy with the experience and when I went down to meet them, they were friendly and were able to make time even though they were clearly busy. Good shop. read more

This non-decript repair shop located at 1550 E 12th (corner 16th Ave) looks quite ordinary, but owner Tam is quite adept at servicing both new and vintage cars. He has assembled a great group of people capable of repairing almost any car, including my 1987 Jaguar Vanden Plas. He corrected a severe handling problem and safety issue when he diagnosed a leaking rear brake caliper and a minute leak in one of the dual gas tanks. With the resources of Jag Heaven , Tam removed/replaced the gas tank, fuel gauges, rear calipers and pads and now this 31 yr old car performs better than when it was new in '87 (the last yr that Jaguar was an independent co). I was involved in a minor collision and my insurance co referred me to an auto body shop for repairs - estimate $3157 I showed the damage to Tam and his expert body man Willy and they came up with a creative solution for only $300. Front end looks great again! I also own a 1993 XJ-6 which, after sitting outside exposed to sun and rain, had gotten the original British racing green paint dull and marked up w/ 20 years of scratches. Willy, their expert body tech buffed out the entire car for $250 ; it was hard to recognize this 'new' Jag, the paint had a luster and shine never before seen by this car aficionado. A capable,trustworthy and accommodating auto repair shop is hard to find. Le's Auto is a valuable resource for a quite reasonable cost - 5 Stars read more

This place actually deserves .5 to 0 star for what they actually do. If you have 'Service Engine Lights' on, don't even bother coming to this place. You can get free diagnosis from Pepboys and they do it in much more professional manner. I visited this place to get some estimates for the Trouble Codes I found out from Pepboys. The guy looked at the codes i written down and said he doesn't make much out of them unless he runs the diagnosis test again. Hoping that he would do better job than Pepboys (not sayting that Pepboys is bad but expected more from a mechanic), I paid for the dianosis service. To my dismay, this guy came up with exactly same thing I found out - same codes and same description, word for word (seriously). Then he recognized what they were and gave me estimates. I understand that mechanics would never do anything for free but lying to customers to make some money do not seem professional and reliable to leave my car in his care. I would not recommend this place at all. I am in agreement with another user that this owner is very very rude and unattentive. he has his phone surgically attached to his face and would not even bother give you an adequate explanation. Instead, he arrogantly throw that 'are you a mechanic' or 'do you know about cars' comments. Please avoid this place. read more

I went to this place few times, today I go there to check my front brake, one guy take a look for my car, and drive for 2 minutes and said I need to replace my brake, and I said I don't have time, I might go back the next day, and the guy said I need to pay $35 for checking the car, and I say u never told me cost that much for 2 minutes of checking, at the end I pay that $35. They should let me know at the beginning that is charge that much, they make me look like a fool, I will tell all my friends to not going there, and I will tell all the people that they are not an honest shop! read more

I had a great experience with an oil change and a cv boot problem. The price was fair and the service was quick and immediate.

I have brought to Tam different cars (foreign, domestic) overt the last ... 15 years and always received great service at honest price. When rear window (with defroster) needed replacement in my BMW 528iT wagon dealer asked $1400, Tam did it for $700. I see some bad reviews here and wanted to provide some counterbalance. read more
