Leo’s Automotive & Transmission

Within 2 months my Jeep has totally gone haywire.
I spend nearly $ 4000 at the dealership and was not going to take it back after another problem occurred.
I turned to Unilocal and found Leo’s with good rating. I called and JP was a great help. I got my Jeep towed and got it back within 2 days. After all was said and done I sent JP all of the work that was done on my car previously to help me determine what, if anything else need to get done or what not.
Overall, I appreciated the time that JP spent explaining things to me and helping me out in my crunch. I have now found my auto mechanic in Denver.

Leo’s is an amazing automotive repair shop! I had months-​long standing issues with my 2000 Jeep due to taking my car to a lesser shop during a tow emergency. Leo’s was able to fix my issue within 3 days of seeing my car. Leo’s provides straight-​forward service, I was always called and consulted prior to any fixes being done, I knew what I would be paying (including tax) and JP even made sure to take photos and give me my faulty part so I could challenge charges I had accrued at the other shop. Overall, the experience at Leo’s is excellent and you can leave trusting that the proper work has been done on your vehicle! I would recommend anyone I know to take their car to Leo’s and they are sure to be my go-​to shop for auto repairs.

I’ve found Leo’s to be wonderfully professional and honest. Their prices are fair, if not a little cheaper than most, but it’s their service that keeps me coming back. I’ve spoken with several of their employees, and all were incredibly patient and kind; they took the time to answer my questions and patiently explain everything to me. They weren’t in a rush to get off the phone or sell me things I didn’t need. This is something I haven’t found at almost any dealerships. In my experience, technicians at dealerships have been short, rude, and condescending to me as a customer. I am obviously not a mechanic, but I am also not an idiot. I will not pay another dollar to businesses that don’t treat me like a human being. After my latest experience with a large Denver Toyota dealership (a long and lame story), I know that I will only be going to Leo’s from now on. Another great bonus: if you drop off your vehicle with them and hangout, they’ll give you a coupon for a free coffee from one of the nearby coffee shops!
In conclusion, five stars to Leo’s for incredible customer service and excellent work.

Very honest and helpful. Leo’s does great work and I will not go anywhere else. My ex was an automotive technician for Leo and told me to always bring my car to him. I will always recommend this shop. Thank you Leo and all of the great people you work with!

After a terrible experience with the dealership that sold me my Jeep, I took it to Leo’s. The dealership gave me a estimate of $ 1,110 (for hitting a curb). Leo’s looked at the issue fixed my Jeep and the total was $ 450! I asked if they looked at the controller arm cause the dealership said it was broken and the guys at Leo’s said it wasn’t broken or bent. The work was done the day I brought my Jeep in, JP (the guy at the front desk) was pleasant and they were honest! It is refreshing to find a company with integrity.

I have been one of Leo’s many satisfied customers since 2003(94 Jeep and 2000 Honda). This is a business that realizes that success comes from satisfied repeat customers, not the quick buck. They take the time to get it right the first time and do only what is necessary. Leo’s has NEVER exceeded the estimated charges w/​o full explanation and advance customer approval.
On several occasions I was actually UNDERcharged for work that was necessary but Leo did not feel like he should charge at the full amount. One example: He once spent several hours freeing a broken door lock and charged for less than half his time, avoiding a more impatient approach which would have required destroying an interior door panel and window. I offered to pay more but he refused to accept, saying he’d rather take care of me now and get me back later.
These are people I want to do business with!

A truly professional service. After being treated like a number at another place I decided to check this place out and it has been fantastic. Clean as a surgeon’s operating room, friendly and honest employees and ownership as well. Also close to good food and coffee shops if you need a place to wait while your car is cared for.

Leo’s Automotive and Transmission is THE BEST company to work with for any car-​related issues. Last month, I left work and my 2003 Toyota Rav 4 started acting really funny. It was lurching forward and then stalling and then lurching forward again. As I started driving it, the check engine light turned on. I took it to O’Reilly’s to get the engine light read and they said it was a transmission issue. I was very upset because I thought that this would mean a hefty bill. I decided to take it to Leo’s because it’s half a block from my house and the reviews on Unilocal were phenomenal. I am so glad that I made that decision! I worked with JP during the entire process. JP was genuine, kind and the epitome of customer service, something that isn’t usually associated with auto mechanics. I dropped my car off at 7 am before work. On my lunch, I received a call from JP following up regarding my car. He said that the bad news was that my car had transmission issues and that they would need to install a new computer into it. This costs normally around $ 1000. He said the good news was that my car had an extended warranty for this issue. He offered to take my car into the Toyota dealership on my behalf and work with them to ensure that they fixed it under warranty. He told me he would call me once he spoke with them. True to his word, he called me that afternoon with the good news that it would be ready the next day. When I went in to pick up my car the next afternoon, I wasn’t charged for any of the repairs except for the $ 100 assessment of my vehicle. Leo (the owner) even drove my car around for 30 minutes to ensure that it wasn’t acting funny anymore, after he picked it up from the dealership. What a PHENOMENAL company. I think it shows great integrity and ethics to do this for me, when I had no idea such a warranty on my car even existed. They could have easily fixed it themselves and charged me far more money.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to JP and Leo and everyone who took such great care of me and my car. You are the only automotive company I will ever work with in Denver, and I have already been spreading the word on how fabulous you are to everyone I know. Thank you!

I’m a raving fan of Leo’s. They are honest, customer-​oriented and super friendly. I finally found a garage in Denver that will have my business for as long as I live here.

An honest, clean shop that treats people right! I don’t really understand the details of what they do (liberal arts major and all, LOL), but my car gets me from A to B, and i don’t feel ripped off. Hubby says they did good work on his complicated Jeep. My only complaint (and the reason i dropped a star) is their hours are not very friendly to those of us who have to work for a living. We’ve had to go through all kinds of scheduling machinations in order to figure when and how to drop off and pick up our cars. Wish Leo’s had more convenient hours (say, open til 6pm on week-​nights and/​or Sat. mornings). Luckily, car work is something that’s only done a couple times a year (she says, hopefully …)

Simply the best! Living miles away from home, I don’t have my mechanic Dad to check things out — Leo’s is the next best thing! Honest, timely and straight forward, Leo’s gives you the holistic view of what’s going on with your four-​wheels and what you need to do to not see them anymore! When I first was looking at getting work done there I researched everything, every sound, every cost, and Leo’s price was very fair. Both my Dad and I really appreciate Leo’s shop and all the great people that work there. It’s kinda like having a garage-away-from-my-Dad’s-garage!

These guys are the best! I take both of our cars there and they have all of the records of all of their previous work. They do only what they need to do. Very thorough and very honest. I have been completely satisfied with their work and their personal attention. All at a fair price.

I will admit I am new to the Denver area, just moved here from Austin. I am a pregnant woman with limited funds. I had been having the month of bad luck and to top it off my car started acting funny. It seemed like it wouldn’t change gears out of fourth and so immediately I assumed it was a tranny problem. I looked this place up online and decided to give it a chance based on location and many good reviews. I am soooo glad I did. Best experience I have had with a mechanic, especially since they were just some guys I picked off the internet. The did a thorough inspection, in a timely matter. JP the front desk guy was really helpful and called me as soon as possible to give me a very honest, fair quote. They even admitted there was nothing wrong with my transmission and fixed my car for a couple hundred bucks! I have a list of potential threats and maintenance and will be back to Leo’s as soon as possible to get the rest of the things on the list fixed up. Oh yah, they even filled up my washer fluid! Thanks guys!

The staff at Leo’s is great. I had my first experience when my clutch went out on my Jeep near their shop. Based on the reviews and the fact that I am new to Denver I decided to give them a shot. They were really friendly and responsive and even gave me a coupon to get a free coffee down the street while I waited. Once they dug into my car they found more things wrong which made the repairs more expensive than I had anticipated, but they always checked with me first before doing any further work and the stuff they found was legitimate and caused by my clutch going out. After the service they recommended I bring it back in after a 1,000 miles to make sure that everything still looked good at no extra charge. Most places would just take your money and send you on your way, but these guys want to make sure they took are of you, which I appreciated!

I have been taking both of my cars to Leo’s for a few years now. They check the car from front to back every single time, and note every single thing that is needed or done. They even note when the tiny light over the license plate is burned out (and may replace it for you, as they did for me, at no charge). They will tell you when your car will need more expensive service, so that you can save up for it. JP is a super guy of note there, as well as Leo, of course.
Today, I took my car for an emissions test, and the person working there wouldn’t test the car because the brake light wouldn’t turn off. I immediately took it to Leo’s. JP looked up the information, noted that they just serviced the brakes, and had me pull in that minute so he could fill the brake fluid. It was full – all he did was jiggle the float so it would engage, which fixed the problem. No charge, and I was back to the emissions place. Take that, emissions place! JP and Leo have foiled your plans to ruin my day, once again!

The folks at Leo’s are fantastic! I took my car to them a couple of days ago, knowing that it would need new brakes and to have some other work done, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.
Everyone I spoke with, from setting up my appointment to forking over the funds, were so nice and friendly. They made me feel comfortable instantly, which is important to a girl in her 20’s who has very little experience with car repairs.
They kept in excellent communication with me throughout the entire repair process and didn’t push me into any unnecessary/​unneeded repairs. They made suggestions and let me decide what would work for me and my finances.
The best part is that the total came in below what they quoted me! I look forward to taking all my repairs to Leo’s from now on, and I will highly recommend them to all my friends and family.
Thanks, Leo’s, for making what could have been a very painful situation, quite painless!

Leo and his guys went above and beyond to find the best deal for my car when the engine overheated. They walked me through each step of the process, making sure I was aware and comfortable with the process.
They delivered the car in great condition and it’s running great. They also told me to call with any questions and made sure I knew when to come back to get fluids and engine checked.
Recommend to anyone, especially those who have been taken advantage of in the past.

BEST auto shop in town. Hands down.
Not only do they do great work, but they are HONEST.
They’ve been telling me the past few oil changes they’re hearing something weird in my engine compartment. I’m not hearing it, thinking whatever, they could be tying to fleece me, blah blah blah…
JP over there finally tells me he thinks it’s a serious powertrain issue, and I should go to Nissan because the truck is still under warranty (by only 4,000 miles now.)
I do, and guess what — my timing chain is wearing.
Timing chain replacements are one of the MOST EXPENSIVE repairs to have done on your vehicle.
These guys could have just kept quiet, let my truck go out of warranty, and then taken me for a lot of cash.
Instead, they pass up the cash, send me to the dealer for the warranty work, and earn a LOYAL customer for life as a result.
TAKE YOUR CAR TO LEO’S!

I’m from out of town and got lucky in finding Leo’s. Very professional staff who go the extra mile. There is nothing «fishy» about this place. An honest establishment. A free drink at a coffee place down the street is a nice touch if you have to wait for your car.

The service is fantastic. The job gets done right the first time! The staff is friendly and they work on most makes of cars. My Honda and my wifes Subaru make the rounds over their for oil changes, brakes, tune-​ups, fluids, sunroof fixes, etc.
