L & D Automotive
At L&D Automotive, we've always believed the customer comes first. Our commitment to excellence shines through in everything we do, from our top-quality auto repair to our stellar record of outstanding and friendly customer service.

Our team is dedicated to making sure you get the very best from your auto repair shop, so come on by L&D Automotive in Lavon, TX and see why we've earned a AAA Approval Rating and "Best of Wylie" in our local newspaper for the last 18 years!If you are driving around the streets of Collins County and you need auto repair or service, there is really only one name you can trust: Lavon, TX's own L&D Automotive.
Services
Although L&D Automotive opened in 1995, the roots were already being planted by our owner, David Williams, in 1980. During high school, David had a passion for cars and an opportunity to work on them. David utilized this experience and his growing passion to open L&D Automotive, and since then the shop has earned honors such as a AAA Approval Rating and winning "Best of Wylie" in our local newspaper for the last 18 years!
Have you ever been driving in a straight line and noticed the little symbol on your steering wheel is tilted a little to the right or left? What you were experiencing was a case of misaligned wheels. Properly aligned wheels are set at an equal distance from each other and at equal angles to make sure all four wheels hit the road in the same way at the same time.
In Lavon, TX, things get hot. Very hot. And absolutely no one wants to drive around these streets without a working auto AC unit. May would argue that in the summer months, driving around Lavon in a sweltering car could more than uncomfortable, it could be dangerous. That's why you'll want to trust all your AC service and repair to the ASE-certified Master Technicians and auto AC experts at L&D Automotive.
What would you say is the most important safety feature in your car? A lot of people might say "airbags, " but that's only because they've overlooked the most obvious answer: the brakes. Your car's braking system is the only part of the vehicle that can stop its forward motion, making it an essential part of the driving experience.
Most drivers have been in this situation. You are happily driving along, not a care in the world and you look down, only to notice that since you last glanced, your check engine light has come on. While (usually) nothing to swerve off the road and call a tow truck for, the check engine warning is your car's way of telling you something is wrong.

You couldn't ask for better people to help you. A doctor for the sick car. Personable, honest, and knowledgeable about vehicles. Nowhere else to be when your car needs help.

They did a great job. Just went in for an oil change and they looked over the whole car and told me what needed to be fixed. Gave me an estimate for most things but didn't pressure me in to do anything.

I'm starting to believe this place is Jerry rigging certain clients vehicles to get repeat business. I could be wrong. I'm going to investigate this myself through a friend who is a regular customer of theirs.

I had the transmission go out on 2017 Chevy truck and was in a bind as there were no rent cars to be had. I had found a place to get the transmission done but the wait was 3-4 weeks out before they would be able to take care of me. I called the guys over at L&D to see if they could help. They got my truck on a Saturday when they were closed and had me back on the road at the end of business day Wednesday with a new transmission. These guys are the best. I have had numerous repairs done to my truck and my daughters truck by this team and they always come through with excellent service and reliability

Just moved to Texas and developed a tranny leak on my truck during the trip. I went to L&D to have it diagnosed. Nick Miriani the manager took my truck to the shop and inspected it with his mechanic. He came back and presented me with the news that I had a front transmission seal leak and other leaks and it would cost $2,132.44 to fix the leaks!!! I asked him many questions and he was very certain the problem was the front tranny seal. I left with my vehicle to consider what to do and went down the street to another shop figuring I had nothing to lose by seeing what another shop would say.

I took my car in for a routine oil change and an evaluation on my back tires expecting new tires quote. I had taken to Discount tire the day before ( where I live close too) and was told I needed at least two tires and that they couldn't see why my back right tire was constantly loosing air. I was pleasantly surprised to hear my tires still had "life" and I can have them look at them again at my next oil change; they found a nail in the tire , in which they took me back into the shop and pointed out ( on tread closer to inside of tire) and patched it for me. Jon even mentioned they had financing

These guys were very honest in what we needed to get done to our 2002 Audi. They called each time with an update and to get authorization to do the work. We greatly appreciate their work. We will definitely be back and would recommend these guys to any body needing car work. Jon was very responsive and courteous as was the whole staff.

My car was sent there by another mechanic and Nick spoke to me and told me what all my car needed. I appreciate his honesty even though we had to find an other option for my car. His respect for the customer goes above and beyond and I highly recommend. Thank you Nick...

The most dishonest repair shop I have ever dealt with. Took my truck in because it was intermittently making an awful grinding noise and I couldn’t break the lug nuts loose. I asked them to break my lug nuts loose and diagnose the issue and said it might be the wheel bearing but I don’t know. They call and say it is the wheel bearing and it will… be $500. I said your charging me $300 for the part can I go to oreilly and buy my own part. Of course they said no. I asked for the brand and part number so I could do the other side myself since they said it needed it. I got the exact

Great experience here! This is my first time review an auto repair shop, but I’m glad to for this one. I was referred here by another honest mechanic (who knew so many existed) who told me American cars were not his speciality but knew these guys did great work. They are very up front with their pricing. They try the lowest cost fix first. They called me each time they needed to do something to make sure it was okay. The receptionist is super sweet. Each mechanic I spoke with is knowledgeable and also friendly. I’ve been twice and will explain my specific reason below for those that are interested

I have to brag about this place y'all! Amazing customer service, kept us informed with everything on my husbands truck. Never price gouged us at all! If you live near or even close to SH 78 and SH 205 this is the place to take your vehicles for repair. Honest and great workmanship!

I took a truck I was looking to purchase for my teenager to be inspected before purchasing. They were able to get me in look over the truck and created a detailed estimate. After their inspection I decided the truck was a good buy. Will definitely return for repairs. Very friendly and attentive.

L & D Automotive has always been very upfront and honest regarding any work that needs to be done on my car. They have always been able to squeeze me in even if they couldn't. They are great! Enjoy working with Gabriel and Jonas! They are the only people I allow to work on my vehicles!

Let me tell you this is a company that truly cares about their community. My husband and I are older and I have asthma. I was looking for the difficult to find Lysol spray. These wonderful people found and brought me a large can to my porch. Next time you need help with your car, please remember these kind people who have a heart for your car and the community. You won’t regret it! Thank y’all again for your kindness.

L&D truly does fix everything. It's nice to have a one stop shop so close to home. They've got you covered from state inspections and oil changes to a new transmission, not to mention everything in between.

I took my Jeep in for a pre-purchase inspection and they gave me an estimate to repair it. I bought the Jeep and brought it back in so they could get it all fixed up. They stayed within my budget and had me all fixed up in 2 days and even offered me a ride to pick it up! Great job! Great atmosphere! And great dog!!

David at L & D told me my egr cooler was cracked, 4200 fix. Got phone quote from ford house, 3100. Told David I was taking it to ford, he then attempted to buy my truck. Ford diagnosed, and told me David had lied, no cracks, and no moisture. The only problem was my turbo was sticking. Still a big cost Sadly I used L & D several times before getting a second opinion. David is a very likeable guy, perfect for a person like him. Don't be charmed. It's not worth it.
