I found this mechanic to be honest and fair priced. They were very communicative and quick. As they were looking at the problem with my vehicle, they realized the problem was possibly covered by the car's warranty. They suggested that i contact the dealership. They could have lied to me and not have let me know that, so they have gained my trust. My boyfriend and I will definitely be back.

Quick quality service for a great price. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well! I love that they’re a family owned and operated business. I will definitely be coming back. The service only took an hour and my car is running better than when I took it to a dealership (where I sat for 3 hours and paid 2x the price). Support local businesses!❤️

I took my truck to Ernie Lee’s Auto Shop for a leak around the bell housing, unsure if it was oil or coolant. After paying a $150 diagnostic fee, I was told the issue was bad coolant hoses, costing $1,365 to replace. Despite that repair, the truck continued leaking from the same area.
When I brought it back, they found the actual issue — an oil pan leak, which cost another $1,251 and kept my vehicle for an extra day. What’s most concerning is that no oil change was done after replacing the oil pan, which raises serious questions about workmanship and thoroughness.
For the premium prices charged, the service quality was subpar, and the initial diagnostic was clearly incomplete. I expected professional, accurate work for the cost, but that was not delivered. I cannot recommend Ernie Lee’s based on this experience.

They are so friendly and helpful (even gave me a coupon discount and let me run home and get my coupon). I always feel like I can trust them to be fair and honest, something women seldom get these days when it comes to auto maintenance and repair.

I was unsure which service center I wanted to take my newly acquired Silverado to. I landed on Ernie Lee’s for the convenience and other reviews. I was happy with all the work and care they showed me. They even looked over the whole truck for other potential issues that may need repairs now or soon. I am driving it with confidence now after the service and will return when needed.
