The unfortunate situation was this had been set up on a relay call I think things got miss translated in the conversation. This customer brought their truck in on a tow truck his vehicle wouldn't move. Found the transfer case bone dry. When we removed the transfer case fill plug smoke came rolling out. This a part that shouldn't have smoke coming out of it. On top of that the entire transfer case had multiple fluid leaks. So we recommended letting us pull it out and have it sent out to be rebuilt. And do to the rarity of the vehicle the rebuild shop couldn't give us but an estimated price. I relayed this to the customer. He choose not to let us go any farther. We had already had an hour of diagnostic time in it. He told us to stop right there. As into his vehicle being held hostage is just an outrageous allegation. We just asked for the bill be paid before it got removed our lot. I am sorry you feel this way. But you have made some very serious accusations that couldn't be farther from the truth. We are a family owned and ran shop. We haven't been in business for over 30 years by being dishonest or ripping our customers off. It's just not what we do. Again sorry you feel this way.

My vehicle broke down and since it is a little "different" than most, I called around trying to find a shop that was willing to work on it. Leo's was the first to say yes, so went with them. Having done minor repairs on cars myself, but this being beyond my "expertise", I knew something was not right when they said it would be 300 plus just to take the transfer case out to inspect it, and then another 4 to 8 hours to fix it. When he said that the entire transfer case looked like it needed replacing, I knew right away that this was not a shop to trust my vehicle with. I found another mechanic ASAP and went to have it towed to that shop, and even though they had said they'd inspect it for free, they held my vehicle hostage until I paid 75 bucks just to get it out!!! I took it to Tyre's auto shop in Timonium, and they just called. All it needed was some fluid (can't help but wonder if Leo's emptied it...) and maybe a small part repair but that it wasn't "necessary". My suspicions about Leo's were 100% confirmed and my suggestion is to stay FAR away from this shop!! I have never written a review before but I am compelled to do so today. Go to Mike at Tyre's Auto Shop; his reputation as a "superhonest" mechanic is the real deal!
