Lee Dudley's Brake & Front End Service

Visiting from Australia, driving to Sequoia National Park, my now fiance and I came across some car trouble, which turned out to be quite serious, had we continued. Luckily for us this wonderful man and his wife came to our rescue on a Sunday when everyone else was closed, they opened up shop for us. They both went above and beyond, to say the very least, to get us back on the road. My fiance and I were absolutely blown away with their expertise, hospitality, and willingness to help out a pair of strangers.

Repairs to the car = VERY Fair

Overall experience = PRICELESS

An unforgettable experience & truly an answer to our prayers, as God sent these wonderfully kind people to our aid.

Thankyou from the bottom of our heart.

Brian and his wife are knowledgeable, and overall great people they opened their shop on Sunday to help us from being stranded, priceless service, eternally grateful!

EXCELLENT SERVICE! I have a 2011 Chevy Cruz and noticed my brakes making noise. I took it a couple of places, where they tried to sell me parts I didn't need for hundreds of dollars. Needless to say I was overwhelmed & upset, I don't know anything about cars or what was really wrong with mine. I found Lee Dudleys Brake and Front End by searching local brake services in Visalia. The reason I chose to go here was because of all the good reviews.

He pulled everything apart, showed me what was wrong, why, and explained everything. Come to find out the reason for my front brake issues was due to my rear brakes not even working! Which the first 2 brake places never even found or mentioned. Brian's wife, Karen, was just as nice and even gave me a ride back to my house while my car was being worked on. When my car was finished, Karen drove my car to my house to pick me up. To my surprise Brian detailed my car including the rims, tires, and engine! He also cleaned my radiator because he noticed it was dirty, and replaced my air filter for my A/C because he noticed my air wasn't blowing well. All which he did with no charge. Not becasue he had to, but because he noticed little issues no one else had, and took the time to fix them. I'm thankful for people like Brian, he's beyond nice, honest, and went above and beyond all my expectations. I will never go anywhere else, and highly recommend them!

BEST SERVICE IN A LONG TIME!! Brian took his time to show me the problem, gave me a fair price and had it ready the next day. the experiance and attention to detail is second to none. Brian even washed my vehicle and pressure washed the engine compartment and under carriage. I definatley will be a return customer.

Brakes

I spent several hundred dollars at 2 different Auto Shops only to have my 2002 Dodge Dakota fixed improperly(Brakes wore out under 8 months both times) and being told that the skidding/jumping during braking was being caused by the ABS braking system.



I had received a recommendation from 2 people to take my Truck to Lee Dudley's, and so I did.



I met Brian the owner and he showed me step by step everything that had been done wrong at the previous shops and also the destroyed parts. He told me the skidding/jumping was being caused by the rear braking system that was installed improperly the last time it was done and told me that it had nothing to do with the ABS.



Within One Day, Brian had my car back to me and braking on a Dime!!



Thanks Brian for doing the Job right and giving me the Explanation of Everything that was being Done!!

Made an appointment to have my suspension inspected and even though my struts were fine, the personal attention given to my car at this shop made a big difference. Brian explained everything to me as he inspected my vehicle and made sure I was aware of everything and anything pertaining to the health of my car. The cost was much much less than any other shop I've been to which was a huge plus. This is a very honest business run by caring individuals. 100% recommend!

Getting automotive work done can be a little overwhelming, especially if your someone who doesn't know alot about mechanics. Brian the owner was absolutly great at walking me through what needed to be done, why it needed to be done, and would could wait. He's an old fashion kind of buisnessman who cares more about his reputation and making the customer happy than money. He's down to earth, honest and I completly trust that im getting a fair deal and getting the right work and nothing more. If your tired of going to mechanics and leaving full of regret and doubt that your getting work thats neccesaary then Brian is the guy to see. I will be talking all my issues to him and only him. Id recommend him to anyone who just wants to be treated with a little respect these days. I'm not the kind of person who raves about an establishment for no reason. He deffinitly deserves all the great reviews he has and thats why I went to see him to begin with and I'm glad I did.

I highly recommend Brian at Lee Dudleys Brake and Front End Service. He went above and beyond our expectations and we will be taking all our vehicles to him in the future. Thanks SO much.

My 2008 Saturn Astra requires a specific tool for the rear brakes...something I didn't know when I purchased the parts for my brother to put on. After a couple hours of frustration we contacted Brian who met us on his day off, was able to use the parts I had previously purchased and get me back on the road at a very reasonable price. He is a very honest mechanic that will definitely be doing the maintenance on my vehicles from this point on!

A few weeks ago my wife’s 2004 Toyota Rav4 was in need of a brake/rotor inspection. Not knowing of any reliable technicians in the area that wouldn’t break the bank, I turned to Yelp. I wasn’t expecting much since this area isn’t too keen on leaving reviews, but surprisingly I found Lee Dudley’s. Several great reviews on Yelp, Facebook, and even Yellowpages urged me to make a call. The owner, Brian, was extremely polite and informative on the phone. He mentioned that he doesn’t advertise and all of his business comes from referrals. He also stated that he would like to take some time to properly introduce himself and what he plans on doing with the vehicle upon dropping it off. I decided that this was the place I would want to have our car looked at.



Now my wife’s car has been hit from almost every side imaginable and came close to being totaled at one point. We’re planning on purchasing a new vehicle soon and for the last several months have pretty much neglected the car, simply because it’s paid off, we don’t expect to get much out of it when it’s time to sell, and we’re just limping along a few months until it’s time to purchase another car. We also didn’t want to spend a lot of money on something that we’d be getting rid of soon, but in the same sense we don’t want to drive something that’s unsafe or would leave us a foot.



Brian called me after inspecting our car and gave his recommendations on what needed to be done and how much everything would be. After giving the ok he said it’ll be ready the following morning. When I went to pick up the car, Brian went over several other issues he found that weren’t even related to the brakes and thoroughly explained what should be done to remedy the situation.



After driving the vehicle for several days another small issue came up, and myself being mechanically handicap, gave Brian a call. He advised me on what I should do and if I couldn’t fix it myself then to bring it back. So I did, just to have him double check my work, and he proceeded to inspect and fix the problem.



Brian is an incredibly nice person and honestly cares, which is hard to find in most businesses. He treated our car as if it were his own and didn’t try to upsale anything we didn’t need. Prices were more than reasonable for the work that was done and for the quality of products used. What I liked most was that he operates Lee Dudley’s like how businesses used to be. What matters most is that customers, whether they be new or old, leave pleased with the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to return again.

My car hasn't ran this well since the day I bought it. I can't believe the quality of care and service given to me by Brian. He made sure my car was tuned up and smogged in time to register my car with the DMV (which is quite conveniently located directly across the street). Brian is an honest, trustworthy man who has gained my confidence in a world filled with swindelling, money hungry mechanics who prey on those who don't understand engines. Put your trust in him and you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Honest work at an honest price. I would recommend him over anyone I've ever worked with.

For all your automotive needs see Brian at Lee Dudley's. Brian is a hard working guy that has integrity. Your car will be treated as if he was working on his own. I've recommended both family and friends to Brian. He is knowledgeable about all makes and models. His diagnosis and repairs are accurate and timely. Brian takes pride in providing excellent care in all your automotive needs. Thanks Brian for providing our family with quality service and expertise repairs.

I actually used yelp to direct me to a good mechanic. Brian did not disappoint. His service was truly the best I've ever experienced by any mechanic. As soon as I walked into his shop, he warmly welcomed me and went to work. He was knowledgeable with his craft, friendly and extremely efficient. He went the extra mile in dropping me off and picking me up from work WITH MY VEHICLE WASHED! I was truly pleased by the level of customer service and will definitely be back for my family's vehicle repair needs.

I'm not even from Visalia, but had trouble with my car while moving and Brian was more than generous and willing to check my car with no charge even thought he had nothing to gain. I have never met anyone more honest and friendly. Thank you Brian for helping a stranger, you are a good man!!!

Brian is the car-whisperer. Scrupulous, informative, reasonably priced, absolutely knowledgeable. I'm glad I was referred to him. I won't go anywhere else for vehicle repair & maintenance. Brian is the man. Highly recommended.

Great experience! Brian is very informative and honest. We have needed some serious work done on our car and I am so happy we made the call! Brian keeps you informed on the status of your vehicle and works diligently to get the job done right. We will be using Brian for all of our vehicles.

I have been taking my car to Brian at Lee Dudley's for about a year and have received the best customer service. I finally found an honest, hard working, knowledgeable, prompt, and nice mechanic. Did I mention he is honest?? Highly recommend his services. He keeps my car in great condition, explains everything, goes above and beyond to help me. Have already recommended him to several friends who have experienced the same level of service. He fixes everything and at reasonable prices too.

NOT JUST BRAKES

Take you car to Lee Dudley's. Ask for Brian, he can fix it. This is not just a front end repair shop. This guy is knowledgeable in all aspects of a car. Our whole family takes their vehicles to Brian. We won't go anywhere else. Thank you Brian for your excellent service for all our car needs.

A++++ Service!

I had just bought a new (used) car and 2 days off the lot it started having problems. I took it to my regular mechanic and they could not figure out the problem so my friend referred me to Brian at Lee Dudley's. Brian went above and beyond spending 3 whole days figuring out the problem with the car. His pricing was fair, his service was friendly, and he is now the only mechanic I will ever take my car to. I've already referred all of my friends and family to Brian Hulse and you should too!
