Have some questions? We're here to help!
A check engine light can indicate a wide range of issues, from minor sensor problems to more significant engine or emissions concerns. Don’t ignore it. Bring your car in and our technicians will perform a full diagnostic scan, pinpoint the cause, and explain what needs to be done in plain language so you understand your options.
Vehicle manufacturers recommend oil changes at regular intervals based on your make, model, and driving habits. At Leale’s, we’ll review your owner’s manual and your driving patterns to recommend the ideal schedule for your vehicle — whether you’re driving around San Jose daily or taking longer trips outside the city.
Squeaking, grinding, or reduced stopping power are signs your brakes may need service. Worn brake pads, damaged rotors, or other brake system issues can compromise safety. Bring your car to Leale’s and we’ll perform a complete brake inspection and recommend the right repair to keep you safe on the road.
Repair costs can vary based on labor rates, the types of parts used, warranty coverage, and how thoroughly a problem is diagnosed. At Leale’s, we believe in transparent pricing and open communication. You’ll always get a detailed estimate and a clear explanation of the work before we begin — no surprises.
