A Personal Commitment

When you entrust your transportation to Leonard’s Automotive Service Center, you’ll find that our shop operates with the famous local Austin vibe. Our commitment to you is exceptional mechanical work alongside friendly, courteous customer service. Moreover, these internal high expectations have lasted for over fifty years and across two families. The shop’s founders retired in 2022, and the MacWilliams family purchased the business, continuing the legacy of automotive service to our neighbors. We take your ability to travel safely and reliably as a personal responsibility. For instance, we understand that our preventive maintenance services are vital to keeping your vehicle running efficiently. This saves you money by increasing fuel economy and decreasing the need for untimely costly repairs. Examples include factory-scheduled services, routine oil and filter changes, fluid checks/tops, and tune-ups. It also helps you keep the manufacturer’s original warranty intact. In addition, planned periodic repairs and regular inspections can impact your safety and that of your passengers/other motorists. One necessary repair is a brake pad exchange. Though durable, these pads can’t last forever. Once they wear below the allowable minimum thickness, they should be replaced. Another important benefit of selecting our shop is the accuracy of our diagnostic services. Whether your check engine light is illuminated or you notice other signs of trouble, our team can accurately diagnose the underlying cause. This saves you time, money, and aggravation. Count on us for help with most other major systems and components, including the engine, transmission, A/C, electrical system, and exhaust.

A Culture of Trust

Because we care about our clients and what we do, the team at Leonard’s Automotive Service Center strives to build a culture of trust. To that end, we back our work with a superior 24-month/24,000-mile nationwide warranty through our TechNet affiliation. We’re also a AAA-approved facility. You’ll also notice that all parts and products used on your car are of the highest quality. We source them from reputable suppliers such as BG Products and AC Delco. Furthermore, we take steps to help you afford the auto care you need. We offer discounts that you’ll find on our Specials tab, and details about the option to pay over time can be found on the Financing page. We accept multiple payment forms, including cash, major cards, and Apple Pay.
