George Jr.’s son, Steven, began working part time in 1979 while still in school. Upon his graduation from high school, he became a full time employee. He learned all his father had to teach him, and in 2006, George and Steve formed a partnership.

FOUR GENERATIONS OF LIEBSACK AUTO EXPERTS

GEORGE LIEBESACK
FOUNDING OWNER
George Liebsack Sr. opened Liebsack Auto Service in 1943. He rented space in Gardena until he and his wife Mary purchased the property on Redondo Beach Blvd. in 1950. He had one of the first transmission shops in Gardena.

GEORGE LIEBSACK, JR.
CURRENT CO-OWNER
In 1953, 15 year old George Jr. started working with his father after school. During the next 15 years, they built a larger shop, doubling the size, and continued to update their equipment and knowledge.

STEVE LIEBSACK
CURRENT CO-OWNER
In 1979, 13 year old Steve would ride his bike to the shop to work after school and in the summers. In the nearly four decades working in the family business, Steve has watched it grow to serve three generations of wonderful customers.

SHELLEY LIEBSACK
Head Assistant
Married to Steve for over 20 years, Shelley has been working in the business and involved with their two daughters’ school and sports activities. As their daughters are getting older, Shelley is taking a larger role in the day-to-day shop responsibilities.

Rachel Liebsack
Service Writer
Kicking off the fourth generation of Liebsacks, Rachel, Steve and Shelley’s eldest daughter, is the newest addition to the shop. After graduating from CSULB, she has joined her parents at the Liebsack and Son as a service writer. She is looking forward to learning the business from her dad.
It is obvious that George & Steve have always been into engines of all kinds, as they both have huge insight. Super nice & friendly guys, and competent. Very highly skilled. They are definitely not the cheapest, but they are earnest, smart, skilled, stand behind their work, and you won’t have to get the same problem fixed over & over. When they fix something it stays fixed! Typically they get the job done the same day.
It is important to note that I used to hate all car mechanics because it seemed like either me or my car was always getting screwed. Since discovering Liebsack & Son, I don’t feel like that anymore. They are good, and it is totally worth it to have them fix something so I don’t have to worry about it. It is pretty common for any garage to mark up their parts, and add a fee because it took time to figure out what the right part is, and to get it. When I’ve been tight on cash, I have brought them the parts so I could save a little money that way. If you can get Steve Leibsack to work on your car personally I can practically guarantee it will be perfect.
It is always great when things go well, but it’s when there is a problem that you really learn more about the character of who you are dealing with. I did have a problem with a repair that broke down the next day (Friday night as I was leaving to go camping), so I had my Jeep towed to Leibsacks that night. They are closed on Saturday & Sunday. But Saturday morning, I got a call from Steve saying he saw my Jeep at his garage, what happened? And he actually came to my house (like right away too) to pick up the keys so he could take a look at it on his day off!!! I didn’t even call him at all. The bottom line was that they totally took care of the repair, and the extra damage involved, and didn’t charge me one penny. You couldn’t ask for more from another human being. They did the absolute best that anyone could do. So, yeah, I’m a fan. They are good guys. 5 stars.
