Car repairs are pretty much high everywhere, but their prices are competitive. They don’t have the best price in town, but they are not exceptionally high either. They are very honest, which you don’t find in car mechanics very often. They are very knowledgeable. They call me before they do a job to call and explain what needs to be done and what my options are. They don’t talk to me like I am stupid because I am a woman. I don’t feel they take advantage of me. I have been using them for about fifteen years. My children take their vehicles there too.

I don't remember all the details of the problem. I broke down in the middle of an intersection and the police were not happy. However, they stayed with me until the vehicle was picked up. I had never used Leonards before but I was very pleased with their service.

The owner was pretty friendly but at the same time he was honest. So it was good. The service went well. I received a call before any work was done.

I used them once and they seemed pretty honest as well as thorough. I would use them again in the future. catalytic converter and oxygen sensors had been replaced by a different company, with check engine light having come back on within days - based upon your rating I went to Leonards to diagnose problem and correct - they did it thoroughly and quickly

When we took our car to Leonard's we inquired how we could get to the Hall of Fame by taxi. The owner, Len suggested to a salesman that he take us. It was a pleasant ride. When we called to check on the progress of our repair the service writer said he'd send Len over to pick us up. He arrived in a very nice, large car. They repaired our car at a very fair price, did it with wonderful good humor and with serivce way above what I could have expected.

It is not often that I experience this kind of support and assistance my wife and I received last week. Therefore, I am compelled and happy to write this review. While on vacation we were backing into a parking space and noticed the car suddenly would not go forward in the drive position. We got the car to Leonard's Auto and the owner Len Desmarais discussed what may be the problem. He went out of his way to get our vehicle check out, drove me to the rental car place and waited with me for 45 minutes to make arrangments. He spent 3 hours that day helping us. Our trip was saved and we were able to enjoy our vacation thanks to the extended courtesy and professionalism shown by Len Desmarais and his employees. I cannot stop telling people about Leonard's Auto Repair. His card will remain in our car forever!

"We decided not to fix the car, and resigned ourselves for shopping for a new car.

I told Len this, and he asked what we were looking for. He called around to dealers he trusted, found us a replacement vehicle right away, took our old car for a trade-in, checked over the replacement car tip to tail, and got us back on the road with a good vehicle at a good price."

I always feel confident when I leave Leonard's knowing my car is in good hands. He's very excellent in all his work and I trust him with any problem my vehicle has. I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you for the great service!
