Very friendly, never tries to upsell. Highly recommend!
I drove up and was able to drop my car right then for an Oil Change and I was able to schedule for next week for my safety. Thanks Guys for an amazing turnaround.
Great Experience! The whole team was professional, very informative, fair, and did great quality work. They were very honest and really care.
Theses guys are solid mechanics. Super friendly and professional. I brought my car in this morning, because it was misfiring, and Frank got on it right away. He had other cars there that he was working on, but still made time to look at mine. And by that I mean, within a couple of hours I had my car back. If this was a dealership I’d be waiting a whole day for something as simple as spark plugs.Thanks for fixing my car guys! Definitely recommend you for anyone else having car issues, or just need a check up. So if you guys are looking for a fast, friendly, and professional mechanic, head on over to Lester’s!
I decided to try this place after seeing the reviews and it absolutely lived up to the good reputation it has. Friendly, fast, and fair. Will definitely be going back.
In an age where most shops will charge you $60 just to drive on the lot and look at your car Lester’s is a breath of fresh air. Honest, fair and will do what it takes to fix your car the right way and in the most affordable fashion possible.
Excellent mechanics and shop. Very reasonable and no BS or sales pitches.
Just like many others have said, great guys here. Honest, friendly and knowledgeable.
Lester has been the fairest mechanic Ive dealt with. He never tries to over sell you, is fair on pricing and has always been able to squeeze me in on short notice. Ive been going to Lester for 3 years and will keep coming back for the quality work he performs.
Every time I have taken my old 98 Corolla to Lesters, I have been treated with respect and kindness. The guys, especially Frank, take the time to call and update me on the progress of whatever work is being done, and they never ever try to up-sell me or talk me into doing anything extra that doesnt need to be done. They work with me when money is tight, and I trust that they will be honest with me every time. I cant imagine going anywhere else!
Great, honest, knowledgeable people. The best.
Awesome 👍. Fair pricing and excellent service.
They are honest and good at what they do and I trust them
Honest shop, quick work, and wont try to rip you off. What more could you ask for from a mechanic?
Best auto shop in PGH. Just honest hard working old school car dudes.I took my car to a place that wanted to charge me $600 and a list of things I didnt think needed done such as new breaks when mine were mostly new. Took it to Lester for a second opinion and he talked me out of things the other shop said needed done and went into detail why my car was in good shape. Ended up spending $90 for an inspection instead of $600.Ill be a customer here for life. Just dont expect any BS or fancy treatment. Be a normal nice person and theyll be nice back. This isnt a giant national chain, just some hard working locals.Ignore the 1 star reviews below. They seem like some real jerks and Lester will toss it right back if you are rude. Hes the only mechanic I trust because he tells it like it is and wont lie to make a few quick $.
Lester and his staff are so great. They are incredibly friendly, motivated, and most importantly honest. They do everything they can to provide quality repair and affordable prices. I would recommend him to friends and family. In fact, I already have.
Amazing service, best value
Lester Yon is the ONLY mechanic I ever recommend. The shop is fast, professional, and honest. Good people. When my car was damaged around the corner in a hit and run, Lester had a used replacement part for me within 24 hours and made my car road legal for $70. I was shocked! I would have paid more!When another chain garage insisted my rear brakes were locked up and yadaya and I needed over $1000 in repairs, I brought my car to Lesters and was outta there with brand new brakes, roters, etc.. for a fraction of the cost. I was thrilled!This year will be my third inspection at Lester Yon Auto Repair. I just called today, a Monday, and was given the option to drop the car off Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday - WOW! With Thanksgiving next week, thats amazing.I feel confident that they will be real with me, and that their assessment and bill will be fair and reasonable. My car is getting up there in mileage, Im not even dreading it! THANK YOU LESTER YON!!!!!!
I have taken my vehicle to Lester for years. He always does excellent work in a timely manner at a fair price. Lester is a delight to chat with and it is easy to see that he loves his work. Truly a gem of a shop. I never worry when I have a problem with my car because I know Lester will take care of it.
Lester and his crew are the best. My parents and I have been taking our cars to his shop almost exclusively for over two decades. Honest to a fault, and always busy w/repeat customers. Mechanics you can trust. I know Ill get quality work at a fair price. Does a great job of communicating any issues & estimates. No scams. No BS. The genuine article.
I have been taking my cars to Lester for years. He is honest, fair and kind. His team is knowledgeable and they always go above and beyond to squeeze me in for emergencies. They genuinely care about their clients and it shows. The best!
Brought car in for inspection and they were very efficient. Gave very clear diagnostic about what needed to be resolved. Transparent and very accommodating. Will be repeat customer.
I have been going to Lesters for close to 8 years and they have always been very good to me. I moved out of the neighborhood and tried a shop closer to my new location and was unhappy so I still go out of my way to bring both of my vehicles back to Lawrenceville to Lesters. They are trustworthy and consistent.
I dont normally write reviews, but Lesters is the best neighborhood car shop you can ask for. Everybody that works there is super nice and really honest. Weve been there three times now and Lester is always great at explaining whats wrong with the car and offering the cheapest way to fix the problem. Because of Lesters, my husbands 98 honda civic lives on! Couldnt ask for a better place and hope they stay there forever!
Helpful, but just lost me as a customer by double charging me for emissions and inspection separately coming to $80, probably because I did my own work when they wanted to charge $600 for front brake pads and a tail light that cost $160 total and took 45 mins to do.Totally taking advantage of people now that money is in the neighborhood. Next time ill take my business elsewhere. You guys used to be cool, what happened?
Got a flat tire while out today. Found this garage who immediately helped us. They could not have been more accommodating, professional and most of all kind! Helped calm us though a stressful event. Five stars to these great guys!!!!
Lester and all his mechanics are wonderful. Its a very non threatening enviromenr for women.He reminds me of an old fashioned type of business where you can stop in with car problems and be met with genuine concern.Ive been going here for many years and the only fear I have is he will retire one day! I wish I could give 10 stars!
Very experienced and thoughtful mechanic. The price I paid was reasonable for me, partly because the experience I had with Lester! I would come back for auto issues because I feel like I can trust him.
Definitely one of the nicest mechanics Ive met. Found this place by looking at reviews and they were all spot on. Nice, honest guys that tell you like it is, explain in detail what the problem is and can/should/shouldnt be dont about. Prices are very fair. Only problem would be they seem to always be busy and it can sometimes be hard to find a place to park your car since its right in the middle of a busy area. Overall, highly recommended.
Old school group of guys real mechanics down here can handle anything always very fair to me and my grandmother probably the most honest group of guys Ive ever ran into working on vehicles keep up the good work Lawrenceville loves you guys.
Lester has come to our rescue a few times! Someone has even come to our house when our battery died to give us a jump! Ive had inspections done with Lester and no work was done with out a phone call first. Everything has been done in a timely manner at a very reasonable cost. I never worry about getting calls that 10 things need replaced when they really dont or leaving with more issues than I came with, which happened at the last mechanic we tried (more than once) and will never go anywhere else again!
Lester is great. They are very accommodating with scheduling us in and very fair price. Everyone who works there is friendly and takes time to talk to you.
Great place to get your vehicle fixed
Lesters has always been a great place to have auto work done. Old school garage and Mechanics that know there stuff very well. Honest Work at honest prices.
Im not originally from Pittsburgh and I was always hesitant in taking my SUV to garages I am unfamiliar with in the city. However, after a recent emergency, I was forced to get a repair (radiator and transmission fluid change). A friend suggested Lester and Frank. These guys are great. Very honest, reasonable pricing and they do great work. Frank took the time to explain the issue in detail to me over the phone (even before bringing it in and getting their money) and called for my permission before purchasing any parts. If you need a repair and are wary of getting ripped off, I strongly recommend these guys. I will definitely go back if I ever need something done again.
Always get my car inspected there, even if I have a question or an issue with the car, they are always happy to help. Could ask for a better place.
When I moved to Lawrenceville I asked around for recommendations and people that had lived in the neighborhood for years recommended Lesters. Ive taken my car there for the past two years I havent been disappointed yet. They seem to be honest, they explain why and show me what parts they replaced - and they dont treat me like Im an idiot. Theyre usually at the shop until about 6:00, which is good for me as I generally have to pick up my car after work. I dont get the feeling, as I have with other places, that theyre trying to replace things that dont need replaced or overcharging. Theyre friendly, knowledgeable, and I cant recommend them enough to anyone in the area.
Great guys
It is so nice to have found a mechanic that is trustworthy. Frank and Lester do wonderful work and are so nice! Highly recommended!
Guys there were super helpful and skilled. They change our gas hose on Pirates game day on the run for us to keep our route. Thanks!
Took 2 cars over 4 years to Lester and his guys. They were always quick and never recommended unnecessary work. When they did have to do work their prices were very fair. I would always recommend Lester over any chain place.
This is my 3rd visit to Lesters Auto. I just had my car inspected this go around. I found them to be honest and reliable. Calls before he does anything costly and will give you an estimate. Inspection went very well and I am extremely satisfied. Labor cost was more than reasonable. I am 77 years old and have been to many auto shops in my lifetime and I would recommend him to my family and friends.Carl Vitti
Awesome! I found out I had a leaky tire around 4:50 on the Friday before Christmas Eve and I had to drive home 8+ hours the next day. I called Lester and he took me in at the last minute, and fixed it within a matter of minutes.Very friendly guy, he also offered Christmas cookies!
I have been there a couple of times since I moved to the neighborhood and every time I was treated very well! Having a good mechanic is important when you drive old beaters! :)
Excellent service. Been getting my cars fixed there for over 40 years.
If you’re looking for an honest mechanic...!
Inspection on new truck done.
No hassles. Work done simply, quickly, and inexpensively.
Good place!
Best around fair and honest.
I went here twice for regular maintenance. The second time I went, work was done that I did not ask for.I agreed to pay but I expressed how uncomfortable I was with the surprise work. I was then shouted at by the owner and told to leave. I will never go back.
Just recently moved to lawrenceville and needed to get my car inspected. Told me what it needed. Got the work done by friends. Called him back to drop it off and get my stickers. Said he would stay till I got off work if I did the work he said needed done. Swung by and paper work was done in 10 minutes.
Very pleasant and knowledgeable staff.
Hes been taking care of my cars for years, very fair and tells what needs to be fixed and what can wait.
Only mechanic I TRUST!
Lester is my hero
