Overall kind and helpful, but very pricey. I was charged over $1000 to fix my wheel bearings. Parts were triple the normal cost and labor costs were added for everything, including $150 for diagnosing the problem that I had already diagnosed. Unlikely to return here.

I used to go to Lester’s a lot with my old car. They were always honest and up front with me which I appreciated as a young female. They would often tell me what was an urgent fix and what to keep my eye on.

I have used this shop for years and was always happy with the quality, speed and price of the work. This time they hit on two of the three and so I will not be returning again and also I will no longer recommend them. I had my alternator go bad in my Acura RDX and was able to limp into Lester’s where I told the office guy, Mike, that the alternator was out and described the symptoms. He called me a few hours later and told me the alternator needed to be replaced and the bill was $1008 ! Yes, you read that correct, over a thousand bucks for a job that should be around $400 to $500. I balked at the cost and Mike assured me that the parts were expensive and the job would take a few hours. I am kinda stuck now because the car is there and they have already charged me $135 to “diagnose “ the problem. So, I let them do it. They charged me over $440 for the alternator and $60 for a new belt and over $330 for labor. I researched the parts and the alternator is about 135 and the belt is 16 which was not needed anyway. To bolt in a new alternator has taken me about 90 minutes in the past on a similar vehicle, and I am not a mechanic. Any decent mechanic could do it in less than an hour. So what used to be a good shop charging a fair price is now an okay shop that gouges customers like most mechanics. If you can find another place. Disappointed because now I have to search for a new mechanic. They did the job in less than a day, but I believe Lester’s is under new ownership and new management and it seems like the new philosophy is to gouge.

Amazing!! I was speechless when I saw my car. They went above and beyond, completely surpassing my expectations. It felt like my car was brought back to life. I had to double-check the license plate because it looked so new! Huge thanks to the team for their amazing work. If you want top-notch service, this is the place to go!

Best body shop I have ever been to between the customer service and the results. Cody is just an awesome guy who seems to really care that he provides exactly what is needed at a price better than all of the 6 other body shops I got a quote from in the San Marcos area. I even received a courtesy ride back to my home while leaving the vehicle at the shop and got picked up when it was ready. Matt did great work and I can’t say enough good things about the folks at Lester’s!

Best auto repair in town. I've been there a lot over the years. These guys don't try to rip you off and are quick to make all necessary repairs.

Did oil change and brake lights replacement from them. The price for their services is reasonable. They gave me ride home after leaving the car at the shop and offered ride to their shop after repairs were done. Which is wonderful.

Amazing customer service on another level! Cody made it so much less stressful in replacing my hood and even shared his experience of his own. which made for an all around great experience. Very flexible with my time constraints and accommodating. And the work was done super fast. Highly recommend. Ask for Cody! He is wonderful.

Sweetest place ever! Had no idea where to take my car and they were the first to respond and the quickest to see me about my car.
