Testimonials

On 8/29/2026 Jennifer Choi had this to say:
We has a car break-in and they were amazing at cleaning the glasses and taped the temporary cover for the window. We were very impressed by their kindness, professionalism and efficiency. We would recommend this place to anyone local or visiting!

Still the best shop in town!!

On 5/28/2026 Fred Dyen had this to say:
Pete was absolutely fabulous. Driving down from Alaska, I experienced the roughest roads in 50 years of traveling the AlCan. Just outside of Olympia the bolt holding the nose of the transmission gave up the ghost. After finding Pete Lea's on VanAlert I called Lindsey and she said to have it towed on over. Pete was able to get me back on the road in very short order and back on my journey to La Paz, Mexico fpr a full paint job. Called my wife to have New Sagaya's send Pete and Lindsey a salmon as a thank you. Nothing but my heartfelt thanks and highest recommendation for their super service.

On 5/10/2026 Sean D. had this to say:
They fixed a massive electrical failure in our '17 BMW. Price and speed of repair seemed reasonable and the results were perfect. They said the previous shop that was aware of the issue (that I chose to ignore) should've told me the issue could grow worse with neglect. I thought, "oh well, we can live without the stereo and back-up camera for a while." Wish I had gone to Pete Lea's first.

On 10/15/2025 Joel K. had this to say:
The best shop in the Olympia area, I never have had the quality of service anywhere that this shop provides. They really care about their customers and are completely transparent with every detail. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else.
