Leon's Car Care Center

Leon's Car Care Center

I have been very pleased with all of the work done on both of my vehicles over the last two years…read more I recently had an engine replaced on my 19 year old Hummer H3. It runs like it did when it was new. I have been treated well every time I deal with them. They have diagnosed and repaired problems that other repair shops were unable to fix.

This is a bit late this happened in 2025, but I needed time to assess what was going on with the…read morecars. This is more detail for my Dec 22nd, 2025 review. I have 2 cars both were being serviced at Leon's and for regular service I liked them, good customer experience up front. However, I took my 95 Toyota Land Cruiser in with 2 issues a suspected fuel leak (we could smell fuel in the garage when you opened the door) and it was running rough, more so when it was cold. Leon's looked at these problems and said they could not find either one. About the same time I took my 2001 Subaru Outback to them about an overheating problem and the guy from the shop came back with a big list of repairs to fix the problem even though I told him this car was a car I was not going to pay lots of money to repair. So with no solution for either car I looked for and found a shop in Arcata. The Land Cruiser went in first. On the first day he dropped the fuel tank and found that the line to the emergency break had worn a hole in the top of the fuel tank and it was leaking. He fixed it and looked for the other problem, it took him a bit longer but not much and he found the number 5 spark plug cable was periodically arcing to the exhaust pipes. So here is the significance of that, Leon's let me drive the car out of there shop with an active fuel leek and an active ignition source should the fuel get close to it. I was not pleased. Then I took the Subaru to the same shop in Arcata and in less than a day he said he found the connector to one of the fans that go on when the radiator gets too hot was not securely connected. Infer what you want from this but one thing is for sure Leon's should have caught the loose connector. Both cars now seem to be running just fine. So why did I not rate them a 1? Well initially I rated them much higher. When I came here for oil changes and tuneups the customer service at the front desk was great and this is where most auto repair shops drop the ball. I assumed that the work in the back followed the same pattern, but this turned out to be a bad assumption. So they could be good for regular maintenance, but I would not go there for anything tricky.

Redwood Towing Service

After a week in the redwoods and river floating, my 10 year old said his favorite part of his…read morevacation was riding in the tow truck with Ryan. That's the only review you need. But I'll keep going. Redwood towing was the absolute bright spot out of a week from hell. The entire company demonstrated that they care about who they are towing, not just what they are towing. We were rented a faulty RV and needed tow services twice during the week. The first time we needed a tow, we tried 10+ companies and they all said they couldn't. My family of four was stranded in a gas station parking lot. Instead of saying no, Ryan said he'd need to get an entirely different vehicle but he could do it. Despite it being midnight when he dropped us off, he took the time to make sure we were safe and level. In this entire ordeal he was the first person to ask about our family. Two days later we needed a long haul tow when we were officially forced to end our vacation early. Redwood towing was still the only company able to do the job. I was honestly so relieved to see Ryan again. We have an autistic son and both Ryan and Dara at the office were so helpful as we made transportation plans for our entire family. They showed such kindness and thoughtfulness. I hope you never need a tow, but if you do, I truly hope you get to meet Ryan!! It is a family owned business and they work incredibly hard to help those who need it at any hour.

Ryan helped us out big time! We had a few issues coming into town from Highway 36, and before we…read morewent into shelter cove we stopped at Redwood service. Ryan came right out and took his time fixing our break issue. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Wouldn't have made it to our destination without his help.
