Pedro was honest and upfront. His prices are good. He did good work to my truck. I would recommend their shop.

I've been a pain in this guy's ass from the day I met him. But he has never been a smartass or rude. The work he does is reasonably priced given we're in California. I would recommend Pedro to anyone.

They did a simple smog check on my Rv and took their sweet time while having poor customer service skills such as attitudes and unwilling to answer questions. They may actually be decent mechanics so I won't give them less stars.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Expert diagnosis and repair of my corvette radiator issues. They even fabricated a radiator cap to work on a faulty radiator I bought which allowed me to drive my car for months while I waited for a replacement. Highly recommend.

I normally do 90% of our own mechanic work but I just didn't have the time and needed to get some stuff done and I would definitely recommend Lee's. They did a great job!

Excellent service. Quick honest estimate confirming what was suspected. Expertly replaced the brakes and I was on my way. I will definitely return when I have other work to be done. Highly recommend. (Didn't talk down or mansplane which is huge!)

Total rip off artists. $1500 to fix a radiator, it only lasted 5 days…hmm. That’s some expensive free-on. I would avoid this place, the act sketchy and they don’t stand by their work, at best.

I made the mistake of taking my vehicle to Lee's Radiator & Automotive to get a smog check on 06/12/14. Unbeknown to me, my vehicle had an added aftermarket cold air intake that was actually installed by the dealership in 2007 when I purchased the vehicle new. The owner of the business, Pedro Rosales, proceeded to test my vehicle anyway knowing that it would not pass in an effort to charge me for the service which was very unethical on his part. My vehicle was tested and sure enough, it did not pass. I know for a fact that he knew it had an aftermarket air intake because the hood was raised prior to the test and it was clearly visible to him. I was also NEVER advised that the car had failed smog and he continued to test it anyway so that he could justify charging me. This man NEVER communicated anything to me and charged me $58.20. I was under the impression that the vehicle had passed and tried to register my vehicle. After discovering that my car had not passed smog, I went back to the business to inquire about why I was never advised that it had failed. Pedro Rosales was very rude and basically told me that "it was my problem" and he refused to re-test it after fixing the issue. Furthermore, he told me that I did not qualify for the advertised "Pass or Free Retest" per their policy which he would not explain. He said "read the fine print". Long story short, STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS AND DON'T GET RIPPED OFF LIKE I WAS! Learn from my mistake. My loss was only a mere $58.20 but yours could be far more. Save the hassle of calling your credit card company to dispute the transaction. Trust me, there are a lot of legitimate and trustworthy businesses in Ventura that have far better customer service and care about their customers.

Wanted almost 900 dollars to change out a 200 dollar radiator and when I went over the pricing he had an upper hose for 120 and a lower hose for 120 but I would get installation for free. Watch out for inflated labor costs if you come here, took it down the street and got better service for under 400 out the door. Will not be going back. Beware.

I called and he asked what type of car I had. I gave him the model and year the car is factory stock. He said he could do the job bring it in. I asked for Pedro the reviews talked highly of him. He looked at me than the car said he couldn’t do it. Really bad vibe with this establishment. Neverthe less we don’t know what he was going through but seems he may not have knowledge of all cars since he turned me away. I would have appreciated a no can do on the phone. Don’t waste your time here there is other radiator places near by. I won’t post the name but he said some mechanics don’t wanna get ther backs dirty😳

I came in expecting a simple A/C recharge. However, they quickly identified my charge was fine but my condenser had a hole in it. Thought the repair was going to take 5 hours - most of which would have been waiting for the part - but they got the condenser quickly and replaced it in two hours. Fantastic service. Highly recommended.

Pedro is the best independent automotive mechanic I've ever experienced. He listens to what auto problems you want addressed and then performs thorough analysis and troubleshooting. He is prompt and gives a fair and honest quote. The quality work is accomplished on time and I have never had to return for follow up repairs of the original problem. I highly recommend Lee's Radiator and Automotive Repair.

I have taken several of our family's cars to Pedro and was always taken care of in a very honest way. I had brakes done and he steered me to a higher quality rotor which was slightly more expensive but a much better decision, since it was not as apt to warp as the cheapest stuff they put on at most places. Let them know what you want and you will get great honest work at a great price.

I was so sure that my out of date no longer made vehicle (2006 Saab 9-5) would cost me an arm and a leg to get the AC going again, but Pedro was great to work with and he was able to diagnose the issue and get it fixed AND I didnt have to sell my kidney to pay for it! He said they do just about all auto work, so I will def be coming back for oil changes, tune ups, etc
