Very professional people. They are very accommodating and got us on the calendar quick. They are always busy.... That's a good thing because they must be doing something right. So far the prices sounded good too... Would love to see some offers and specials.

They are the best. They are the only shop I go to. They really know their stuff and never overcharge. They always try to squeeze me in if I need something! If I drop by with an issue, they ll do their best to resolve it then and there. I COULD NOT recommend any other mechanic. They even remember customers cars! You walk in and hear oh, you have the _____ right? even without telling them! High high praise.

It's such a good place. Everyone is super friendly. They only do the work that you actually need. They don't try and sell you on a million things that you don't need. I definitely recommend coming here!

I called to schedule an appointment and even though they don't offer what I needed, they immediately asked where I was located so they could make a local recommendation for me! Excellent service; best "sorry, we don't offer that" call I've ever had!!

Honest and fair prices. They have been the only place that we've never received conflicting information from. We've been going here for years and will continue to do so.

I've taken my vehicles here when nobody else can find the problem. The guys have done everything from a major engine repair to an exhaust rebuild and finding a loose wire that nobody else wanted to bother with. The service is great, and prices and advice are always better than the dealer. I highly recommend this business.

I recently went in for an inspection. They changed my headlight bulb (which I previously purchased) and I FAILED the inspection due to emissions. I was also recommended to get a new aux battery, 2 tires, and oxygen sensor. My quote for this was over <$1000 ! No can do, so I retrieved my vehicle and payed them $140! For a failed inspection and half an hour labor for my headlight. THE LABOR COST IS $140/hour by itself!Leach's knows how to leech off you for $$$! Casual car owners and Buyer beware!

This was my first time to this shop. Service was fast, reasonably priced, and they were able to do an alignment that most shops couldn t do. Thanks!

My family has been using Leach's for years now. They offer excellent service at fair prices and have always been courteous and welcoming. Would recommend a million times over. If you are looking for a great garage with excellent technicians, look no further. And that's a lot coming from me because I insist on doing all of my own work on everything but these guys I trust.

My aunt was driving today and delivering a few parts on my behalf when her brakes failed. She took the vehicle to Leach's and wow...they took care of her brake line immediately and at a very reasonable price as well. She was overjoyed with the experience and we wanted to say how much we appreciated their help! Great place and great people! Thank you!Service: Brakes

This place provides awesome service with focus on perfection and professionalism. I won't take my car anywhere else and I can even buy tires there. Cost is reasonable. Women are treated with respect and dignity. If you're looking for the best place to get car work in a timely manner at a reasonable price call leaches!!!

Tom, the owner, is very upfront and personable! Lets you know if any work needs to be done and the cost up front.

Leach's is one of the few remaining shops that takes the time to troubleshoot problems and doesn't just blindly replace parts until it's fixed (or you give up). They run a refreshingly tight shop with thorough, quality mechanics and I appreciate them. It saves me money and time every visit and that's why I keep coming back. Thank you guys.

This is a great place to service your vehicle. The whole crew is good people. They want it done right, not just patched up. Good people, great service, reasonable pricing on work.

My family has been taking our cars to this place ever since I was a kid. Now, my husband and I take our cars here and we wouldn't trust anyone else. These guys are honest, knowledgable, hardworking mechanics who always do a great job! I 110% recommend them to anyone looking for someone to take care of their vehicle.

I'VE FOUND MY NEW, TRUSTED AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP! Leach's Auto was recommended to me by a friend. I needed my car inspected, Toyota, & it needed some work. I'm a female, some mechanics assume women don't know a thing about cars. I did not tell them this, but I assure you I do. (When you live with a mechanic for years & hang out in his shop often, you hear enough about how cars are NOT working, lol, & if you're wise, you pay attention, ask questions & learn.) And also, I know my car and how it's operating, (what's new, what will eventually give), very well. They spoke to me making no assumptions that i did not know my car, they did not talk about my repairs i needed in simplistic, dumbed down terms. They did not try to sell me anything I didn't need, but note I may need to in the nearer future. And the price i paid for everything was lower than an estimate i got from someone else for just the repair alone nevermind inspection, fees, etc. I felt very comfortable with them. It took a few days to get an appointment bc they are busy,....bc they are successful.But they had me in and out, on the same day. Other garages I guarantee would take longer bc parts had to be ordered, & a few hours of labor. They get it done! They're fair. I feel they're honest, & a successful family business bc if this, & also bc they have repeat customers bc of their trustworthiness! I highly recommend!Thank you for the good service!

They were very welcoming and accommodating. They quickly and conveniently scheduled my car for several things: new belt, transmission flush, oil change, and inspection. They were very nice over the phone, and as a matter of habit, I quickly did math in my head and asked, "can we get all of this done for under 400?" This is the important part, because the man in the phone said, "absolutely."Now I wouldn't have minded spending extra money had they been honest and transparent about the costs, which they promised they would numerous times before the price went anywhere else. I didn't get the call, so I assumed I was going to be greeted with a 400 dollar bill. Nope. It was well over 500.Again, I hate giving a bad review for good work and a pleasant overall experience, but money is the bottom line for most people, and they were just not honest and forthcoming with me. It's a shame because I just moved down the street from this place and would have made it the destination for all of my repairs.2/5

I would recommend looking elsewhere.��I was a long time customer (5+ years) and always had ok service.Recently I had a service issue where Leaches damaged my vehicle and resulted in further repairs totaling over $3,000.00.Tom (co owner)��admitted guilt and told me he would handle the repairs.��Which he never did.Fast forward 5 months we ended up going to small claims court where he preceded to lie about the situation.If you re looking for an honest trustworthy mechanic I would not choose Leaches.

Love this auto shop. I just moved to Reading and will miss them. I felt like family going here and they always made time for me when I had an issue. Two days before moving they fit me in to repair my tire in the same day I called. Highly recommend!

We are visiting from Ohio, our car wouldn't start this morning to make our return trip. So thankful that my son knew of this place as a business associate and made the call for us. They were able to get our car in and fixed the same day. We are grateful!

We have been taking our family's vehicles to this family run business ever since they first took it over from Ernie and Clyde back in the early 70's and turned it in to the top notch garage it still is to this day. Their mechanics do not leave, and a couple have been there for over 20 years if that tells you anything. Sure, you can probably find a garage that will install the part you found online that Google mechanic tells you you need without having any idea what's going on with your vehicle for a bit cheaper than Leach's will, but will they take the time to explain to you why you may want to consider a better quality part, warn you that this could be problematic later, and later "if you would have any issues with that part" tell you that there is no charge to replace that part because they found in their computer that it's still under warranty? I doubt it. They even have a Spanish speaking mechanic to accommodate all walks of life. These people will bend over backwards to help you, all you have to do is be reasonable. Nobody likes to have to spend money on their cars, especially if/when money is tight, but we have found that Leach's will always back what they sell and do what ever they can to help you keep as much of your money as possible. These guys are like family to us now because they have more than earned our trust and respect for the type of people they are, and the type of business they run. Can't say enough good things about these guys. Highest recommendation.

We were having a scratching metal to metal type noise coming from the front of our 09 Chrysler Van from 0 to 20mph. No Automotive shop could find the reason why. Leach Automotive found the problem, fixed it and all is good now with our Van. Thanks

Was recommend by a coworker to this place, very happy with my experience! Friendly people, attentive, and at a good cost!I'll have to remember next time to ask about when they'll have my car ready to go, because that wait was a bit much for me.

This business has my total trust and confidence. When they say they have the time to perform work or trouble shoot symptoms of your vehicle they really do it and get back to you within hours and always the same day. I have three cars and take them all to Leach's time and time again and will continue to do so - always satisfied. Thanks Tom!!!First business review - ever. H.W. 48 yrs old

Very helpful family business. Made sure to explain why I needed a new tire (I had destroyed mine haha) and then helped me get as much of a warranty discount as possible through Hancook tires. I really felt like they wanted to get me the best deal. The whole process felt low stress and nice. There's even a nice little waiting room with coffee and tv. :)

Had an oil leak, they found a source, but when I brought it home with a new part, I still had the leak. What I didn't have was my $338.44.What kind of shop doesn't check their work? Leach's it seems. Maybe run the engine for 10 minutes and see?On top of that, I also got a new noise coming from the power steering that wasn't there before the leak. I was visiting family from Florida and was recommended to them. Called when I got home to get some kind of satisfaction and instead Tom got a big chuckle out of my situation. I did not.
