They have always been real good. I have a set of rims for the winters here in Minnesota and they always changed it our for me and stored them. They always did all my other maintenance. The price is a reasonable amount.

I did not get the service, but would not recommend anything with someone who charges more than a dealer.
Description of Work: I called them to get brakes and rotors for my car. With parts bought by me, he was asking me for 500$, which was even more than what the dealers charged me. I never got my work done here.

Based on the Angie's List reviews, I brought my car to Leighton's twice for repair rather than bringing it to the dealer. Both times they and quot;fixed itand quot; but as it turned out, they didn't. Both times they blamed a faulty part from the dealer. Both times they said it was a fluke. Ultimately they did fix the problem but after experiencing the same results twice, I wouldn't go back as I simply don't have time to deal with multiple trips for the same issue. They are nice guys and were pleasant and personable throughout.
Description of Work: They diagnosed the cause of my car not starting and tried to fix it.

They were professional, yet personable. They got right on my needs, got the car fixed at a fair price. We all know that getting our vehicles fixed is right up there with a root canal, but Leighton's Garage takes a LOT of the sting out of it!
Description of Work: A couple of days before Christmas, our Corolla broke down. The guys at Leighton's Garage sent out a tow truck ASAP and picked up the car. Within one hour, they had a prognosis and in two hours they had the car fixed.

A great experience and a huge improvement over repairs done at a dealership where we always previously took our van. We were able to bring in the van right away upon calling for a service appt. We received a phone call with a diagnosis and estimate within a few hours and the work was completed by later the same afternoon. We were told at the dealership that the broken heater would require over $900 worth of repairs and was very complex. Leighton's said that the problem was mainly a very dirty air filter that looked like it had never been changed, which was very disappointing since we had the air conditioner serviced and repaired at the dealership several times over the van's 200,000 miles! Leighton's fixed that and quot;$900 broken heaterand quot; for a tiny fraction of that cost...the entire repair, including the broken air conditioner fan AND an oil change came in at under $200. The van was vacuumed when we picked it up and the shop was clean, neat and welcoming, with polite and organized staff. Leighton's is now my go-to auto repair shop for all of my vehicles!
Description of Work: Leighton's repaired a broken air conditioning fan, fixed the heater so it would blow down on the footwells, and replaced a cabin air filter on our 10 yr old Chrysler Town and Country minivan

Love them. We are return customers because they are fair and honest. A year ago my husband had a problem with his oil system, and they jerry rigged a solution that saved us a bundle.
Description of Work: Overall check, changed oil, belts and fixed check engine light. Gave us a car to use in the meantime. Was ready before expected.

Flawless. The previous two shops told me I needed expensive repairs, $1000+. I was skeptical, and did not get the repairs done. I went to Leighton's, they made the correct repair, and it cost me 60% of what a previous shop charged me for the same repair 7 years ago. I Have been searching for a mechanic I felt like I could trust for 10 years. So far Leighton's will be my new shop of choice!

I am very happy with them. They do what they say they will do. They call you before they do anything you didn't authorize. They do good work and your car is ready when they say it will be. They will call you and explain if it isn't ready.

I visit them almost every month. In the past, they have done oil changes, rotating tires, fixing a door, and fixing the noises. They are really good. They are not the cheapest, but they don’t talk me into anything that I don’t need. They tell me if something is wrong. I will use them again in the future.

My car broke down over the weekend in St. Paul. I was refered to Leighton's Garage by a neighbor that had a good previous experience. I checked out there website and saw that they had a link to Williams Towing Service. I called the associated towing service and scheduled a pickup for just an hour later. I met the driver at the St. Paul parking lot because my Audi alarm system is a pain to deal with without a key. He towed my car to Leighton's garage in Eden Prairie. I called the next morning when they opened. I expained what I thought the problem was and that it would be great if he could fix it that day since I was off of work. He said he would do his best. Called later that day and confirmed that it was the serpentince belt tensioner and asked if I wanted to also replace the back brake pads and another repair at that time. I asked him to just repair the belt and I would take care of the brakes. Finished the car on time later that afternoon. Price seemed a little high even if it was a Audi. Good experience overall.
Description of Work: Replaced serpentine belt tensioner on Audi A6.

They are very trustworthy. They check everything and let me know as to what needs to be done to my car as well as my truck. They are not overly aggressive and it always seems like they charge a fair price. They provide service on the same day itself. The price that they charged for an oil change was less than $40.
Description of Work: I have been using the services of Leighton's Garage for my vehicle maintenance for about 3 to 4 years now. My last visit to them was about 2 months ago for an oil change.

Contacted them to inspect a used car I was considering purchasing. They were able to inspect it the next day. They identified a potential problem with a clutch bearing and a small oil leak. They provided a detailed inspection report and comments. I purchased the car feeling that I better understood what I was getting.
