Joe does good work, he's knowledgeable, works hard for his customers, stands behind his work, provides good value for reasonable price.

I used Joe when he was in Garland many years ago. So when my husband needed a professionals help with his truck I googled to find him and so glad I did. He is still as awesome as I remember. read more

This is truly a diamond in the rough - a good mechanic you can trust. Unfortunately, I've found out that you can't even trust a "reputable" dealership service department these days, even though they are generally more than competent at repairing your car. Car repair is expensive. And the only thing that will cost you more than an incompetent mechanic is a dishonest one. Joe Reid has some 25-30 years of experience, AND he's a good man. I trust him completely. He's built his business entirely on word of mouth. I heard about him from a close friend, whose family has used Joe for 20 years. When Joe moved from Garland to Leonard, TX (East of McKinney!!!) - I made the 60 mile drive from Dallas to take my cars to him. That's how good he is. Sadly, now that I've moved to Austin, I need to find a mechanic like Joe. If anybody has a tip for me, please send a message and let me know! :) Joe's new info: JOE'S CAR CARE 488 N.W.

I have taken all 3 of our vehicles to Joe's for repair. hey have always done a good job and the price seems fair. He is especially good on working on my 7.3 diesel. The man knows what he is doing. read more

I completely trust Joe to take care of anything that goes wrong with my Jeep. I actually drive an hour (each way) just to take my car to his shop. He's an honest guy and a talented mechanic. His prices are much lower than anywhere else I've gone, too. read more

Thought I'd found a good mechanic shop with good consumer values...boy was I wrong.

We've trusted Joe with our car repairs for over 20 years. We were sad when Joe moved to Leonard but we still drive all the way from Plano for several reasons: his prices can't be beat, he's very good at what he does, he's earned our loyalty and finally, he's a really nice guy who we enjoy seeing and doing business with. read more

If you're suicidal then I highly recommend. Went here to get front end repaired from normal wear and front bearing hubs replaced. I was assured the steering was nearly perfect before leaving with the truck, but I could hardly hold it on the road. After almost two weeks of waiting and four times taking it back because of near head-on collisions, it was "perfected" so I could somewhat hold it on the road. $1700 for worse steering than I started with. Now, 8 months later while driving down the highway, my front tire separated from the hub and spindle by way of bolts that were "torqued" at this place. I was lucky to escape with my life, and am now out of a vehicle. Please be careful if you choose, or have chosen this place for auto repair in the past!!! read more

I've been using Joe's Car Care in Leonard for several years. I can trust what he tells me. And, I trust his work. I originally started using Joe's car care after hearing from a loyal customer of his who was driving 60 miles to keep him as his mechanic. read more

I spent $1,000+ there. This is my opinion, not factual statements...don't want a libel suit from this guy. One thing I had fixed was a manual window that fell off the track. I paid $80+ for a part and $80+ for the labor, over $160. It felt tight to turn when I picked it up, fell of the track again a week later. When I called Joe, he accused me of breaking it. He said it sounds like I forced it and broke it and he wished I'd brought it back before I did that. paraphrased He offered to look at it, but I'd have to leave it. No thanks, last time I left it he kept it for 3 weeks and I got updates when I called him... He may have called me once. He was defensive and condescending to me being on a budget. When I told him I'd like to know what may need done next, because what I was having done were things to make the car safe first....he said sarcastically to me, shocks, but that's a luxury. Rude, rude man. No, I won't have him repair the window. I'm out the money. I don't trust him and won't leave my car there again. After 3 weeks, he didn't even know if he'd checked the oil when I asked! I paid for truck/doors to be rekeyed the same. The passenger door didn't get done, when I asked he said we didn't talk about that. read more

We love JOE !! We also have used Joe for years; all the way back when he was in the Dallas/Garland area. He's honest, dependable, and reasonable. A true mechanic you can trust. Although he's moved from Dallas, and it's a 45 min drive up there to scenic, rural Leonard, (luckily there's a Sonic on the way!!!!) we still gladly make the drive up there just for Joe. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else!! read more

Used Joe 6 years with a combo of super good & very bad work the bad was more than three times so I'm through. His prices are very high for small town mechanic. If there's a problem his fault are not the blame is on you & you will pay $$$. I kept going to him even after I felt wronged because we here in Leonard did not have many choices for major mechanical work in the past but we do now just a little south of Joe's . read more
