I am a single mother of 4; I need trustworthy, reliable, and fair help. Each time I have taken my car in to Lee Dudley's, I have received quality work and Brian and Karen have gone above and beyond my expectations. My father, who worked in the automotive industry for some time, recommended them to me. He doesn't trust many technicians but speaks very highly of Brian. I have tried several other shops and this is the first time that I can say I highly recommend this automotive shop!

Brian and Karen took great care of me. Brian took the time to educate and show me what the issues were with my brakes. Karen dropped me off at work and a few hours later, they dropped off my car with the brakes fixed! They were kind enough to fix my low tire pressure, blow out my air filter, and even wash my car. I don't think you can expect them to do this every time. As you can expect, they certainly earned my business. I'm planning on consulting them with all of my automotive needs and will be referring everyone to this high integrity shop. I'm fortunate to have found such a quality automotive shop!

I feel bad because I'm writing this review so late, but I have never had a more positive experience with a car professional. A few months ago I went and got my Kia Optima's brakes replaced and the owners were super helpful. They explained everything to me thoroughly and patiently and let me hang out while they worked on my car so I could see the whole process from beginning to end. No shady business happening here! I highly recommend this business.

Lee Dudley’s repair shop was great! I hit a large curb and bent the rear camber link, they were really kind and fixed my car in 2 days! Very reasonably priced, they also left me a thank u note in my car for letting them work on my car so thoughtful …!!! Would definitely come back here for my future car services. Thank you!!!!!

This business offers top shelf customer service not commonly found in todays’ corporate model of “service.” Upon calling to inquire about an alignment issue, Mr. Dudley gave me the likely cause over the phone, and suggested I bring it by. He put it up on the rack and found a faulty tire within minutes. When I tried to pay him, he refused. While of course he cannot do this for all encounters, he made a customer for life. I need some front end work done on my heavy diesel pick up and will be taking it to him, due to his demonstrated honesty, knowledge and excellent customer service. In addition, he (and I believe his wife) are extremely friendly, and seem to value their customers.

Brian (mechanic) is absolutely fantastic at what he does! I brought in my 2002 Lexus and within the day I brought it had fixed up and running better than I can ever remember it running. The service they give is of the highest quality, so much that I have absolutely no complaints and fully trust him with the repair and upkeep of my vehicle. The cost of the work done was more than fair, and he went above and beyond by cleaning out my headlights to make sure my car was safe and beautiful before handing it back over. There is no other mechanic shop I would recommend as much as this one. If you are looking for honesty, quality, and kind folks, then look no further than Lee Dudley's Brake & Front End!

Brian is super knowledgeable and friendly. Diagnosed, ordered, and installed new front brake pads, rotors, and brake sensor in about 35 minutes. I'm grateful to have found a great honest mechanic for future repairs. I cannot recommend more highly.

Honest and friendly. Went here after dealer recommended new brakes. He said I had a lot of miles left on them. Returned a year later and the brakes are still good.

I am beyond grateful that I found Brian and Karen they are the nicest people and Brian's work is just straight honest. Brian was able to get me in when I had to replace my brakes like ASAP I brought it in first thing in the morning and he had it ready by late afternoon he even cleaned my engine which by the way I had never seen clean. I highly recommend Lee Dudley's brake shop. God bless them for their great Service

Updated 2025 review: It’s hard to find a quality mechanic these days— even harder to find one who’s reliable and trustworthy. Brian over at Lee Dudley’s combines professionalism, honesty, and consistently delivers exceptional, precise work that you can truly count on. He’s upfront and fair—never overcharging or quoting unnecessary work. The attention to detail and care he puts into every job is impressive. I’ll definitely keep going to Lee Dudley’s whenever I’m in the area or need a tune-up. An honest mechanic is hard to find these days, thankfully Brian is. I could not have asked for a better experience; he talked through the whole process with me, went above and beyond to ensure my vehicle was safe and I came away a more knowledgeable consumer and vehicle owner. Brian and his wife run a reliable, high quality shop that I feel great about bringing my car to. I will definitely be back! Do yourself a favor and go to his shop, you won’t regret it :)

We have been dealing with Brian and Karen since we moved to Visalia. If you are looking for a reasonable, trustworthy mechanic to service your vehicle look no further. I HIGHLY recommend these wonderful people, who are not only our mechanics, but I'm happy to say are our friends too!!

AMAZING. First I want to say I’m a stranger to Brian and his wife, I’m from Utah and needed my brakes looked at. I called Brian and even though him and his wife were wanting to take the day off they met me at the shop and got my car all taken care of in just a few hours! Brian was personable and taught me about my own car. Very knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly, and kind. I wish more people were like these store owners. Very fair prices and a job done superior to your name brand stores.

My fiancé and I went in for a brake change after being told by Les Schwab that we needed new rotors. It turns out our rotors/pads were practically new! I appreciate the honesty of this shop so much. We’ll definitely be coming back when we need any upkeep on our car 😊 Can’t express enough how much of a relief it was to talk to someone so honest and kind! He even went out of his way to show us the rotors and explained it. I would recommend this shop to anyone!

Lee Dudley provided exceptional service and honest, straightforward guidance when I brought my car in for repairs. He treated me with kindness and respect, clearly explaining what was wrong without trying to upsell or push unnecessary fixes. I truly appreciated his transparency and integrity throughout the entire process. People like him are why it’s so important to support small, local businesses. Because of professionals like him, he’s earned a lifelong customer.

Honestly, not coming here is a mistake. I been coming here for 4 years now and they always have reasonable prices, great service, quick service. I get to see for myself if there's a problem. I'm always learning while I'm here. Brian and Karen are friendly and respectful. I recommend coming here first for an honest and reliable opinion.

Brian is the BEST!! I have been using his services for the last 20+ years, and so has my family! Brian is a hard working kind man who always does the right thing for the customer! His prices are very reasonable, and he always communicates up front what is happening with your vehicle! I would recommend Brian and Lee Dudley’s to anyone I know!! 10/10 recommend!!!
