Automotive Industry News & Information - Lee's Auto Repair

At Lee's Auto Repair in Independence, the history of cars is a huge topic of interest to us. Here’s an interesting piece of automotive trivia, from us to you.

Ever looked at the bottom of your shoes and noticed that one area of the sole is more worn than another? The way you walk causes a wear pattern to occur as you put more weight on certain areas of your feet. If your shoe needed work, you would take it to a cobbler.

In the old days, when your headlight burned out you just replaced the entire thing with a new glass bulb. Modern headlights are plastic assemblies, with a bulb inserted through the back. What this means, is that the plastic lens that light shines through never gets replaced, and eventually will begin to oxidize and deteriorate due to time, weather, and heat from your bulb. Today you will learn when it’s time to fix or replace your headlight assemblies, what options you have in doing so, and what the benefits are.

Your fleet or commercial truck works hard, every day. Most commercial vehicles are heavy, and constantly under load. As a result, your brakes will inevitably develop issues over time. At Lee's Auto Repair in Independence, MO, we can fix that.

One of the more annoying issues a car, truck, or SUV will develop is a grinding or scraping sound when you hit the brakes. What is it, and how do you make it stop? At Lee's Auto Repair in Independence, MO we have the answer.

While some keys or key fobs can only be obtained from dealerships, most cars can be programmed to accept a new key or key fob without expensive dealer intervention. At Lee's Auto Repair in Independence, we often provide such services, at a fraction of the cost.

I live in Las Vegas NV and found Lee's as i was on a trip to upstate NY. Had my vehicle serviced in Las Vegas and developed oil leak during trip. Lee found the problem and fixed it on short notice. Lee, Steve, and Josh did excellent service. Now I make it a point to coordinate my trips to allow service at Lee's. My latest trip i purposefully drove my vehicle 1500 miles to Independence to have Lee's service my vehicle. Their work is far superior to anyone I have found in Las Vegas and they save me money. Even when the cost of the trip is included with the cost of Lee's service. It was less expensive to make the trip to Lee's than to have same service in Las Vegas NV and Lee's is better quality work.

Are you driving around with a loud scraping sound coming from beneath your vehicle? Chances are, a piece of your splash shielding has come loose under your car. At Lee's Auto Repair in Independence, we can have that annoying sound taken care of in no time.
