Poor work ethics They are not doing the right work on the vehicles like for example they did not use a torque wrench and it wound up destroying my wheel stuts ... Also they typically lose items in your car like the EZ Pass OR trim decorations for the engine area and they claim it was never there finally after searching with them we find it in their shop This business was owned by a very good gentleman and I've been coming here for 7 years but ever since it's sold I would never be back.... Find a mechanic that has pride in their work and it's honest! it got better after I reported them to the state found out they did not have the necessary paperwork to be conducting business after the ownership change... they wrote me a couple of hundred dollars pack for a $500 mistake they expect me to accept that

Mr Lee and his staff are very dependable and honest. They give great service and advice of what is best for your needs. I live in Orange County and my car broke down while I was on my way home from LA. It just happened that the tow company took me to the nearby autoshop and it happened to be K J Lee's Automotive. Ever since that day and till this day I will drive all the way up to Long Beach for him and his staff to work on my car. I don't trust anyone else to work on my car from now on because of their exceptional professionals at K J Lee's Automotive. Highly recommended!!!

I found KJ Lee's via AAA magazine. I was not disappointed. I was treated like a human being. Everything was explained in a way I understood. My new forever mechanic. I love you KJ Lee's!

no because the “mechanic” charged me for a check engine diagnostic fee and couldn’t even tell me the code it gave him? he said it was this problem and he “fixed that” but the car was still doing the same thing when I left. I immediately called when I noticed it was still idling roughly and the guy who worked on my car was “in the restroom” and the stank face receptionist told me she’d have him call back and of course the girl didn’t have him call back. poor customer service…. I only came here because I was far from my usual mechanic. Do not waste your hard earned money here.

I had a great experience here just yesterday. Chris made me feel like i was in good hands. I trusted him right off the bat. He showed me the problems and the pricing was something i could pay. As a female i always feel like im going to be ripped off by mechanics. It was nice to feel like one of the guys. Thank u Chris. U will be seeing me again.

I've been taking my car there for a couple of years for regular things (oil change, breaks, radiator, etc). Mark, the manager, is always great, very responsive and helpful. The mechanics are very knowledgeable and do a very good job. They always have the car ready on time. Thank you!!

My car broke down and left me stranded in an area not near my home. The towing company arrived and towed my car to KJ Lees automotive. I have never heard of this place but the tow truck driver said it was the closest place for my road service towing limit. Mark and the Owner were so helpful and reassuring. They we very professional and detailed what my car needed. They were vary fair on price and even threw in a 24 inspection for free. They got my car back on the road quickly and with no hassle. I would recommend KL Lees to anyone and in fact I may end making this my main service place.

I always show up to a shop with my defenses up, but I quickly found this to be one of the most honest I've come across! They solved an issue other mechanics gave up on. These guys don't play and worked hard to diagnose my absolute headache of a check engine light. They could have easily taken advantage of the situaton but didn't. I won't take my cars anywhere else now if I can help it!!

I have been going to Mr. Lee's for at least a couple of decades and have always had a really great experience with them. They stand behind their work and is willing to back it up! If your initial problem was still a problem they will keep looking at it until the problem is solved with no additional expense. Their prices are very reasonable. I've recommended friends and they are all very satisfied with Mr. Lee and his workers. I love the fact that it is a family owned business and they take a lot of pride in their work.

So I got into an accident, not my fault. My car started overheating, so at the request of a family member I chose to let KJ Lee’s work on the issues. The first day during business hours, no one answered the phone, so I went down there and apparently they had gone home and it was only 9am. Finally we get there on a different day and drop off the car. They say nothing is wrong with it, and they did some service and “reconnected” the fan. The car was seeming to work ok, but I was extremely skeptical, and let them know I felt like it would happen again. “We can’t find anything wrong with it, our guy took it for a drive and really gave it its all.” Then we get a call saying they will start charging per day if we don’t come pick it up. Well I’m on my way home from work on the freeway and now I’m stranded because the car overheated again. I called and all Ray could say was well, I believe you, and you can bring it back. Maybe if he would have “believed” me in the first place! Never again will I use this crap place, if they would have listened in the first place I wouldn’t be in this position.

On Feb 7,2025, my Toyota Avalon wouldn't start and I was at work and with AAA towing, I used these guys since they were part of the AAA recommended shop. They replaced my starter, and charged me $659.57, which was high but was just glad to get it fixed. Today, 4/28/25, my car wouldn't start again and since I was at home I had it towed to my local mechanic. This time it was the starter again!! My mechanic said it was a used starter that was in poor shape. It lasted less than 3 months and these guys at KJ Lee's are crooks as far as I can tell. I was fine with the high price since that's what they do with AAA, but never again. I will pay the extra towing to tow to my mechanic who I trust. I have put in a complaint to AAA and hopefully these guys gets kicked out of AAA service recommended list. Oh yeah, also my mechanic replaced that crap starter with a new one for $325. I’ve issued a complaint with AAA, and asked they remove your shop from their recommended shops
