My wife took her 2000 Toyota Avalon to the dealer on West Street in Annapolis for a routine oil change and wiper replacement. They also apparently preformed a multi-point inspection where upon they noted many defects totaling $5000 in charges! I called Lee's Automotive Service after finding them on Angie's List. Lee suggested I bring the car in for him to inspect. He and his son spent two days going over the car finding only a fraction of what the dealer had noted to be wrong. I opted to have the items Lee suggested repaired (including a cabin filter that had never been replaced in 13 years of going to the dealer for service). They completed the work as promised and I was only out $1300 compared to what the dealer wanted. Lee and his son run a small but intimate old-time, auto repair service. Quality service at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them and will be back for any future work that my be needed.
Description of Work: Fixed a leaky gasket, replaced the timing belt, water pump and cabin filter. Checked over the entire engine and brakes.

First of all, Lee is a gentleman. Polite, courteous and a real old-time professional. I explained the problem and he said he would check it out and give me a call. That's exactly what he did and even had an estimate ready for me. The problem was fairly simple so he kept the labor low. The real expense was in the parts, but that was not Lee's fault. The car was ready, as promised, on time. Now, are you ready for this? A few months later, I called Lee about a front-end alignment. Lee said that he didn't have the equipment to do that type of work, but referred me to someone who did. That turned out to be a and quot;real findand quot; also. So, how's that for honesty? Lee could have taken my car to that same place and then bumped-up the price to cover his time for transporting my vehicle to the other shop. What a classy operation and and an honest, well intentioned owner. He's my first call from now own for any automotive related repairs.
Description of Work: Car was running rough at low speeds. Relatively new to the area and didn't know a reputable car repair shop. Called around and heard about Lee's. Checked him out on Angies List and decided to give him a try. What a find!!

My nephew had problems with a backyard mechanic who trashed his car (1997 Honda Civic). We had it towed to Lee's for an estimate on fixing the (now) numerous problems. They were honest up front, telling us that it probably wasn't worth fixing, given the age and condition, but we asked them to look it over and let us know the extent of the damage. They called the next day to say that, at a minimum, the repairs would be more than the car is worth. Although the car couldn't be salvaged, we are very grateful to Lee's for their honesty and quick response when we needed assistance. I would definitely take my cars here for work in the future.
Description of Work: They examined the car to see what repairs needed to be made -- there was so much wrong, we didn't know where to start.

Dropped off the Honda because the car was starting slow of late. I also could smell some antifreeze on occasion. Lee checked it out and found that the battery was just under 12 volts. He replace the battery with a new one. As for the smell he found that a rock or something had hit the bottom of the radiator and punched a small hole in it. I was in a spot that could not be repaired. He offered to try some STOP LEAK. I thought about it as it was a big $$ repair. I decided against it as this is used pretty much everyday. I was afraid it would give out while the driver was in DC or somewhere and I could risk the motor overheating and a big tow bill and repair later so we just replaced it now.These guys are very honest. They offer advice and will only fix thing that need to be fixed.
Description of Work: The Honda Element needed a Battery and a new Radiator.

As always we drop the truck in the late afternoon the day before our appointment. They called the next afternoon to tell us it was all ready for pick up. We picked it up and everything is great. Starts up no problem even in the cold mornings. We really depend on them to keep our stuff up to par.
Description of Work: The 1997 Ford F450 truck needed new Batteries and OIl change. The last time we changed the 2 batteries was 2003. The truck was dropped off on 12/21 in the afternoon.

Dropped off the car on 12/27 when we were on our way out of town. Told him we were in no hurry as we would be out of town till 1/2/12. Got a call that it was ready. Window was all fixed and the car was serviced as always. Its great cause they check all the lights and fluids,brakes,tires,and even rotate the tires every other oil change. They even grease the door hinges like the garages in the old days. These guys are GREAT.
Description of Work: Electric window on the 2004 VW bug stopped working. Also we needed an oil change.

overall a good experience
Description of Work: took my wife's car in because she smelled gasoline when she stopped. They inspected everything and could not find the problem. But this was after they spent the better part of a day driving the car and checking for every poosible cause. When i went to pick the car up,i asked what I owed and was told "Nothing, we couldnt find anything we had to fix." I was amazed. Since then, i have taken this same car back for brake service and oil changes. their prices are very competitive and they stand behind their work.

I love this guy. He is the most professional and honest mechanic around. I would give him all A+'s if I could. We've used his service for years and trust him implicitly. They get you in quick here and can figure out any problem in my experience.
