Cant even put pads and rotors on correctly. Pads rubbing on rotors, almost caught my car on fire after driving 50 miles.Ruined my brand new front rotors In less than a week.Also condescending, rude and confrontational.

Been dealing with Mike for years. He has maintained my personal and work vehicles at a reasonable rate and wont charge you for what you don't need.

Not only was Lad a few hundred dollars less than numerous highly recommended shops, he got my car in and out the same day, when everyone else was weeks out! Thanks so much Lad Autumotive, I will return!

I have been a remote customer of theirs for more than 2 decades and they have maintenanced my 1995 Tacoma, 2004 RAV4, 2007 Tundra and most recently my 2013 Highlander without issue. Inexpensive, friendly and very knowledgeable about servicing out-of-warranty Toyota machines of various makes and models. Mike and the others are expert mechanics but be aware they don't really have a lobby if that is important to you. With an reservation made in advance they do have a key drop and you can leave your car in their parking area overnight and it will be serviced in the morning. If you seek a quality local mechanic shop, they are among the best Southern Oregon has available. Strongly recommended.

I have used Lad in the past and was pleased. However, I recently took my hybrid in for a water pump issue. Picked up my car only to find there were warning lights for the Hybrid system (which were not there when I dropped it off). I asked the gentleman that helped what it meant. His response was that I just needed to drive it so the battery would recharge? I knew this was incorrect, and by his body language, I could tell he did too. I left there were with a new water pump, but new issues. I was disappointed that they called me to pick up my car, knowing there was now a new issue to deal with, and would just let me drive off without even addressing it with me. I called later that afternoon to let them know the warning lights had not shut off. They informed me they do not deal with hybrid systems. I wish I had known that before taking my car there. Bottom line, Im sure they do fine work with basic things. I wouldnt take my car there for anything that wasnt a simple fix. And definitely dont take your hybrid there. Update…. Just picked up the Prius from Lithia. It had a blown fuse and a fried A/C compressor, which was causing the warning. They speculate that the damage was done during the process of replacing the water pump. I’m still shocked that they would send me away with a damaged car…. And warning lights on the dash. I would absolutely not use their service again.

After another shop told me I needed new lower ball joints and wanted over $600 to repair. I asked Mike to take a look and see what they thought. After inspecting the front end the verdict was "No, it doesn't need repair." They would not even charge for the inspection! Thanks, you took a load of my mind!

We have been taking our cars to Lad for about 40 years. We have never been disappointed. Mike is honest in his dealings with customers. I can honestly say that we trust him and his mechanics!

Very happy with the service. I was not happy with the quote Bob Thomas gave me for my timing belt, so a friend of my boyfriends sent me to his dad's shop and quoted me quite a bit less. They got it done pretty fast for being a smaller automotive place. I would highly recommend them to anyone!! Thank you guys for doing my car and charging me less than what you quoted me for!!

Great service, honest, super friendly and priced to be affordable! I had a head gasket job done in Summer... thank you for saving my car! Today I took my car in to replace the CV joints... and they got the job done very quickly. This is my go to auto repair shop, hands down.
