Wow. They helped me selflessly without charging a dime because they quickly found that it was a known manufacture issue.

Came here with new problems my car started up with, and didnt know what I was in for, everyone at this shop was so patient and understanding. As a woman I get nervous with mechanics and here everything was explained to me, the costs were very fair. Im really grateful I stumbled upon this shop and want to bring my cars here again in the future, thankyou for getting my car back on the road!!

Took my Dodge durango up here because I was having transmission problems. Now the guy Jim I spoke with was very friendly. Informed me of what was happening. Told me my only option was a new transmission. Or transmission rebuild. I truly did not want to spend $7895.85 However, they warranty their product and their work one year or twelve thousand miles. Cool, so we struggle to find the money. We get the money and make the payment. We get our car back a little less than a month later. I go to pick up my car after final payment and here's my floor board! It did not look like this when it came to them. The carpet was not pulled back. The glove box was not ripped off and laying in the floorboard. You would think after paying almost eight thousand dollars, they would at least put everything back the way it goes properly. That's what makes me upset, and that's what leaves this review. I paid them almost as much as I paid for the entire vehicle, and they can't be bothered to put a glove box back in its proper position versus leaving it on my floor........ The owner finally reached back out to me and attempted to make things right. I can say that the owner has then very cordial on the phone. Each time that i've spoken with him and apologized for his employees and their lack of attention to detail when it comes to my vehicle. He also emailed me a warranty for their work. One year twelve thousand miles. Though he reached out my opinion still stands that I would not take another vehicle to this company and I would be very careful in the future of anybody who goes to this company. Get your quote in writing prior to taking your vehicle up there. Take pictures prior to you taking your vehicle up there. And once your vehicle is returned to, you go over every inch of the vehicle to make sure the job is done properly.

The team here are absolutely great! They are highly knowledgeable, honest, and very nice as well. I brought my car in for an inspection for the transmission (which they do for free btw) and Jim gave me a great in depth analysis, with genuine advice and an honest price for work he's experienced in! Highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable staff that go above and beyond to help. They did a thorough check of my car and provide quality work and customer service very step of the way. I will be taking my car to them moving forward. Highly recommended.

After taking our Jag to Wheel Works for an oil change and a lifetime alignment, I had to take it to Leale's because of the incompetence of the service adviser at Wheel Works. When there is an issue with a vehicle, the advisor is supposed to point it out. Every time I would ask, he would mumble something and walk away. So, instead of dealing with incompetence, I sought out a better option. Leale's was within walking distance and was able to get the car in quickly. Little did I know the true issues with the car. When I purchased this car, I bought an extended warranty through CarMax, and I am so glad now. The car had a lot of "little" issues that turned out to be expensive issues because it is a Jag, and the warranty requires Jag parts. Jim and Tyler were both fantastic. Jim spearheaded the conversations with the car warranty company, and he got more than 80% of the repairs covered. While it took longer than I would have liked, that is another issue with owning a Jag. So, let me say it this way. If you have an issue with your car, regardless of the make or model, call these guys. They are phenomenal, and they will take good care of you. We are now customers for life.

Customer service was straight to the point, transparent and didn't even charge labor for simple fixes!

Truck was out and they got it back up and running within a couple of days. Professional the whole time and explained any questions I had. Can't complain.

Professional bunch 👌 although their estimate was more than the car is worth they were honest and helped me make a difficult decision. Parking is tight at their location so call ahead.

Best mechanics I have ever known since I started driving and owning a car for 40 yrs

Nov 17, 2023

Not a great low price shop per say! But they do great work on our cars. Owner seems to not liking discounts!

Nov 17, 2023

Ok....so i cannot express how great Jim is!!! He is so personable, so friendly and ONE HUNDRED percent trustworthy! My car needed major repair and he worked with me so that it didn't become this huge stressful thing for me. I will not take my car anywhere else...i cannot say enough about Jim and his extensive knowledge on cars and just the way he treats his customers. I HIGHLY recommend this place!!

I’ve had such a great experience with my forester here. Got a new radiator installed after a break down. Contacted Leale’s and they said I could tow it over even though they were closed. Drop Box! Straight forward and honest were the stand out impressions I got. Big thanks to Leale’s! Pricing was on point too. Go here.

My 2001 Town&Country transmission had a breakdown. Other shops I called said I have to wait for some time. Jim from Leale's Transmissions took it immediately to diagnose. They found the TCM is the problem but they cannot find the part because my van is too old. I found one on eBay. Jim let me take the van back home without charging me while I was waiting for shipping. After the part arrived, Jim took two weeks to find the problem and eventually fixed. And still charged me a reasonable fee. Excellent service! Highly recommended

My Lexus' transmission was acting up, and I knew I must have it checked. I searched via YELP for a transmission shop in San Jose. Leale's popped up and I called them this morning. I talked to Jim and he asked me to bring the car in for checking. I brought my car to Jim's shop. I called back to check on status in the afternoon. He told me the car was reset to have the transmission back to normal. I was so happy for that. Jim is very friendly and professional providing great customer service. I really appreciated Jim for the excellent service. I highly recommend this shop.

Nov 17, 2023

Really nice. Jim kept in touch with me several times throughout the day to inform me of my car's issue (luckily it was nothing major). Got my car back and it drives like a dream

Nov 17, 2023

Tyler is a GOD! 1993 Supra with an impossible electrical issue … FIXED! My shop in Santa Cruz suggested Leale’s … worth the drive!

Nov 17, 2022

Awesome

Best and most honest shop in town. Had a great experience getting my 2011 gmc acadia transmission rebuilt.

Nov 17, 2022

Can't say enough good stuff about Micah and the crew here! They took great care of my baby and brought her back to life (new engine & transmission) Its hard to find services one can trust for something as important as your transportation. Leales is that kind of place. Professional, personable and complete!

Nov 17, 2022

Honest, nice, knowledgable, and professional! I would highly recommend Leale’s. After receiving a very high quote for a repair at the dealer, I took my Audi here to get a second opinion. Jim took a look at my vehicle and it turns out that I probably don’t even need what the dealer had recommended (the issue is likely with a different, cheaper part). Leale’s has saved me thousands and I am grateful!

I came here as a result of my starter going out. I called on a Sunday evening and they were able to fit me in for the next day Monday! They were very professional and you could tell they knew exactly what they were doing, the entire experience here was great. I personally know only a little about cars and they were happy enough to walk me through everything and make sure i understood everything and the steps thats needed to be taken. The service was relatively quick. Super happy and WILL be coming here again and recommending!!!

Nov 17, 2022

Very quick, quickly identified the issue with my trunk and helped fix it. Loved my experience!

Work was done on time and the final cost was what was estimated. Additional technical advise was provided, which was useful for better maintenance. I am happy.
