Automotive News & Information - Lee's Auto Repair

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.

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.
