Lee’s Frame & Axle Body & Paint

I went to Lee’s after someone decided it would be a good idea to hit my parked car. Other people I asked recommended this place (including my husband who had gone to them for bumper repair on his car). I called ahead and described my situation to Steve who picked up when I called. He was very helpful and had the best ratings on Unilocal compared to the other places associated with State Farm in the nearby area. I had the body work done by him and although there was some delay in putting my car in the shop (which was understandable because originally I was going to take it there during the holidays!) the work was done wonderfully with no problems and Steve was extremely helpful in answering any questions I had. (I tend to ask a lot of questions.)
All in all, it was a good experience and I will take any cars there in the future if they need body work. I would highly recommend this place.

Nice good guys here! They did a stellar job, and went the extra mile. I could not be more pleased with my experience.

I made a mistake in choosing their service last month for fixing my car for a rear bumper damage. They did all the sweet talking to get my business and insurance etc. I was told that they only use factory parts for replacement but ended up using after market parts instead. I bet all the positive reviews here may be rigged. I would avoid this place at any cost.
What you see is not what you get. I will not return here… nope.

SCAM ALERT. Today, Lee’s Frame & Axle basically stole of thousands of dollars from me by putting 80−85% USED and AFTER MARKET parts on my damaged NEW 2015 Nissan Altima. To top it off I just found out that their «Lifetime» warranty covers only NEW parts installed by the body shop only! So not only has my brand new car’s value just significantly decreased with these used and after market parts, but if the repairs don’t hold up, Lee’s Frame and Axle are legally not bound to fix my car on the used parts… WHAT A SCAM!!!
The Story:
Let me begin by saying that if your car was recently involved in an accident and the other party’s insurance (for my case it was State Farm) advises you to pick one of their shops, RUN AWAY from this shop. I was debating between a couple of different shops that promised me they would put new dealer parts on my car, but I ended up choosing this one because they promised a one week turnaround.
I get there and I speak to compulsive liar and repair «salesman» Steven Bock. He is the operations manager of the «family business» that looks over the Hispanics that fix your car. After pleading with him to put dealer parts on the car, he says he’s going to do the best he can and that most likely all of it will be new dealer parts.
A week goes by and I decide to call and check in on my car. During my call with Steven he says he will do his best to get it to me on time (great!) and that most of the parts they are using are new dealer parts.
Finally I come to pick up my car and he sits me down and I ask him the same question, «Are there new dealer parts on the car?» He looks at the paperwork and says…“hmm only one of these parts is used and its like a reflector, really no big deal.” I wasn’t upset because he did says he was gonna do his best and if everything else is what I asked for, then the value of my car would not have depreciated too much. Overall I was happy with the work.
As I’m leaving the lot, I take a closer look at the repairs paperwork… over $ 1000 of the $ 1300 spent on parts are used and after market. To make matters worse I read their Lifetime Warranty. «PARTS: Provided is a National Limited Lifetime Warranty… on NEW PARTS installed by or at the Shop»
I call Steven completely livid. Steven then apologizes for lying to my face (of course– he’s CAUGHT), and he assures me that even if it says that on paper he can still take care of my car if something breaks… Yeah, like I’m gonna trust you again.
Steven Bock and Lee’s Frame really fooled me, and now I don’t feel safe in my car anymore. I’m seriously doubting the integrity of these positive reviews after the NIGHTMARE I just went through with my car at Lee’s Frame & Axle.

My car got hit on the freeway and was told through State Farm Insurance that Lee’s Frame & Axle Body & Paint was on the list and so glad it was. Steve, his wife and sons are a great family business and too so much care with my Prius. Found more damage than expected and made the car not only fixed and driveable, but tool pride in making it look the best it has looked in years and I am so much appreciative of the time and effort put in to get it done right. I would highly recommend the place for any car repairs that are needed in you will get a fair price and work will be done professionally and as quickly as possible without rushing safety or performance of your car. I thank them for caring so much for their clients.

These guys are the best. They helped me get my car towed to their shop, talked to my insurance people, and then accommodated me when I needed to pay out of pocket (because my rates would have skyrocketed). They were honest with me about the best way to go through the process, and the work ended up being exactly what they quoted. I cannot recommend them enough! If I ever have to get work done again, I’ll definitely go with them.

Simply an amazing body shop. They really pay attention to small details and try hard to get everything right because they are just good people.
My mechanic disappeared and left my car partially disassembled in my driveway in the middle of the night. I got into an accident the following day… and I handed Lee’s a total mess. They went above and beyond to fix my car… even the mechanical things which they should not have even been responsible for.
They really saved me. I’m a customer for life (hopefully with minimal future accidents).

I was in the area and saw the bodyshop and decided to stop by and talk regarding fixing one of problems with car I have. OMG Steven is my hero. He checked and they did everything so quick and professional. I was worried about the price, but they charged such a reasonable price. Defiantly recommended
Thank youuuuuuu

There is a reason why they’ve been in business since 1947! The shop is run by the father and two sons and they are all super helpful and kind. They do very high quality work at reasonable prices and are very honest. A really lovely family-​run business. Look no further.

Lee’s Frame & Axle is unlike any other auto shop I’ve dealt with. I have taken my vehicle here a handful of times, and I am consistently impressed by their honesty! Not to mention, phenomenal work!!! I will never go elsewhere for body work.

Do not bring your car here.
Although they’re really friendly and all, everything is horrible.
1. They tell you it only takes a week to fix your car but it actually means a month.
2. They keep adding repairs which makes you wonder if it really needs to be repaired or they just want to get money from the insurance company.
3. They put back the battery in bad condition like why cant you even tighten the screws?! The moment I got back at my place I couldn’t start it because it couldn’t detect the battery and I see the screws all loosed and to think I almost made my trip back to San Diego. Like what if the battery disconnects while in the freeway. So freaking dangerous.
4. It may look great outside but they leave all your belongings all over the place inside. My important paperwork got wet like thanks for the heads up.
5. Just. Don’t. It will just frustrate you.
I just really don’t understand why they took a month yet my car is in a worse condition. Like really?

Let’s face it. No one wishes for a fender bender. But if you get one, Lee’s makes the repair process a pleasure.
Everyone at this family-​run business is nice, professional and honest. I was recognized as a customer from nearly a decade ago! Steve stayed in close communication with me throughout the process, chauffered me to work and delivered my car to my office when it was completed. While it was in the shop, he also arranged for a tire alignment I’d been putting off. Now that’s great service – not just in the auto industry, but for any type of business.
I’d never take my auto-​body work anywhere else.

Very Highly suggest you dont even think of going anywhere else! Repaired my car door and matched a complicated paint color on my car. They cleaned it out on the inside as a bonus too!

These guys are AMAZING. They really took care of me & my car; I really appreciate the excellent customer service and great quality of work. Also, I got my car back much faster than expected! Sean Bock went above and beyond and everyone I encountered there/​over the phone was helpful. My car was hit while parked on the street — a hit & run! The perpetrator clipped the entire driver’s side, rear corner of my beautiful Mustang =(I had to get a new bumper and there was body damage that had to be repaired as well. To do this, they had to re-​paint the entire [large] panel on my driver’s side and replace the rocker stripe sticker on the bottom, side of the car. The color match was perfectly applied and they did a nice job replacing the bumper. I got my car back and it was like new! They also clean the exterior and interior. This place is a family-​run, good ‘olé, honest American body shop. They are up front on the estimates and clearly communicate their services. I would reccommend this place to anyone. If you need any kind of body work done, GO to LEE’S!!! AWESOME! =)

Just left from dropping my car off for some body damage and it was the most pleasant experience with Steve! From other reviews, I’m sure my car will come back practically brand new! My boyfriend is already planning to bring his car in to get some revamping because we left that pleased. Can’t wait to get it back!

I brought my car in for some touch up work and was immediately impressed. The service was excellent, the staff was knowledgeable and the pricing was fair. My experience could not have been better.

WOW! is all i can say, a amazing experience, i delt with Steve himself and he took
more than great care of my car, it looks better than it did from when i first drove it off the lot, even brought to me the rental and returned it all i did was just sign the paperwork and take the keys, excellent communication. V.I.P service all the way, I definitely and highly recommend this body shop…

Steve at Lee’s was a pleasure to work with. He got my car fixed on time and at the quoted price. I was very impressed and would recommend this shop to anyone!

My wife and I have used Lee’s Frame & Axle for bodywork repairs twice now, the first time after our insurance requested that we use them and the second time when we asked that we be able to use them again.
The first incident was with our one-​week-​old RAV4 that was hit while parked on the street. The rear bumper was half torn off the car, with the left side that wraps around the side of the vehicle hanging off. The bumper was also cracked in multiple places. We took the car into Lee’s and got it back a few days later, and it looks like nothing ever happened to it.
The second incident was when my car was randomly attacked by someone we assume was rather drunk, he kicked in a taillight and one of the rear view mirrors while my car was parked in the driveway. I brought the car in, they noted what parts they needed to get, notified me when they had gotten those parts, then fixed it in a few hours when I brought the car back in. Again, it looks like nothing ever happened to it.
In both cases Lee’s did a great job of staying in communication with us, letting us know what was happening, the timeframe involved, and did fantastic repairs. Even if our insurance company stops wanting to use them, we’ll continue to use Lee’s for our repairs in the future.

I have been taking my car here since I moved to town in 2002.
Obviously the other reviewer had a bad experience — so they are definitely not perfect — but I have NEVER had a bad experience with them. They are honest — and yes, slow — but they do great work.
