Nothing but high praise for Chris and his crew. He discovered a pin sized oil leak. They couldn t get me in for about a week but told me it was OK to go ahead and drive it. I didn t make it a week until my appointment, my car quit three days early. The entire crew at LaDrew was very professional and kind, they got me in right away and fixed my car. I didn t think I would have it back for three or four days, but I got it back the end of that day. As I had the way to get up there to get my vehicle, they came and got me and took me back to the shop. Chris explained everything that they did, and I greatly appreciate their help. I have only been in Collinsville for about a year and they have been recommended by almost everyone. I ask about a mechanic. I won t take my daily driver or my Corvette, any other place else, even though Chris is a Ford guy Services: Steering & suspension repair, Brakes

Not happy at all had my brakes fixed for 600$ ok cool. Next day a god awful squeaky noise started went back he looks at it says oh you need a wheel barring ok cool even tho in my mind I m wondering why didn t you say this yesterday when you were looking dead at it. Ok cool I was still about to pay 1000$ to get that but nope the guy that s in the office starts going on how it s so funny that I told him I live w my son s dad. Like he was making fun of me it was very weird and rubbed me the wrong way. I won t be returning. I m sure they will know exactly who I am when they see this review. Yal have a good one I ll go to meineke insteadService: Brakes

Called about getting our car diagnostic and Chris told us to bring in even though he was shorthanded and the bays all filled. Pointed us to the cars problem, very kind person. Then went to pay and he would take no money. Top notch place!! Busy place but definitely will take time for you.Treats you like family. Will go backService: Vehicle InspectionService: Vehicle Inspection

This local shop embodies the spirit of customer friendly. Well priced and willing to go the extra mile to make sure I understood what was going on. Most importantly, recommended what was essential and what was not (yet), the opposite of high pressure sales tactics. Will be brining my car here again!

Chris and his employees are the only mechanics I trust to fix my car when needed. Once again, he went above and beyond today to fix an issue with my heat and give me an honest assessment of what will be needed going forward. I've had a number of issues with other mechanics in the past that tried to get me to agree to service that wasn't needed, but I know that won't ever happen with Chris or his mechanics. THANK YOU CHRIS!!Services: General repairs & maintenance, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning

The heat went out in my sons car and our usual mechanic was booked. LaDrew got us right in. They made me feel like I had been coming there for years. The price and service was outstanding. Highly recommend!

My father and I were traveling from New Mexico to Canada and lost our muffler on i70 around 8:00 PM. It was dragging, throwing sparks everywhere and just causing a huge ruckus. Thankfully we just happened to pull off on the right exit. We were driving down the street and saw the garage doors of LaDrew Automotive open. We pulled in and Chris was sitting at the counter busy at work. He stopped what he was doing and helped us get back on the road! He was gracious with his time and we sincerely can t thank him enough! There are great people out there and Chris is definitely one of them! If we lived anywhere close to the area, there would be only one place that I would take all of my vehicles to. Thank you again Chris!!

I lucked on to LaDrew by a recommendation from another oil change place around the corner. This is a down to earth no BS repair shop that cares about keeping customers cars on the road and not charging crazy prices! Chris, the owner, spent 1 hour with me discussing and diagnosing my vehicle and didn't charge me a dime! Tim, the mechanic, rode with me for a test drive and was able to pinpoint noises and then give me his opinion on the "necessity" of fixing immediately or at a later date! GREAT guys to work with and fix your car! I can't recommend them enough no matter what kind of car your have!!!

I had the most pleasant experience at this repair shop. They were extremely caring and empathetic to my situation. I'm proud to support and have the support from this locally owned business. They had a truly personal touch that is hard to find anywhere. I will absolutely be going back for any repairs/maintenance needed in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I have only been in Collinsville about 3 years. Any problem I have with my vehicles I take them to LaDrew Automotive. Very honest and reasonable priced. Not only a trusted mechanic but also a good friend.

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Chris and Brandy are the owners and Tim is his star mechanic and man they are amazing. I have NEVER taken my car to a place that continuously provide this kind of service. I have several cars, and I wouldn't take them anywhere else now. LaDrew's prices are like having your buddy work on your car, if your buddy was an ACE mechanic. Great prices from great people that give your GREAT service. Everyone in my family take their cars there. 10 STARS!!!!!!

Was very rude on the phone. Doesn't know how to do paperwork. I was very polite with nothing but rudeness in return. Won't ever recommend to anyone!!

This is the best auto repair business I have ever used. Everyone there is super nice and they really know what they are doing, unlike other auto repair businesses I have used in the past. I would rate them at MORE than 5 stars, probaby at a 10.

I was referred by a co-worker & was so glad I was! My car was running hot I thought this will be expensive. Turns out it was only my radiator cap. A $6 fix. They were honest & I respect that. You don't find many honest mechanics these days. They have my business as long as I'm in the area!

Chris LaDrew and his team of automtive mechanics at LaDrew Automotive will keep your car or truck running in fine condition. Whether it is routine maintenance, or a more involved mechanical or electrical issue, give him a call. They have over 30 years combined experience repairing and maintaining vehicles. They are reliable and reasonably priced, and give a fair and accurate estimate of the cost.

I am not happy with the engine repair performed on my 2010 Jeep Liberty. In my opinion they care more about making money than they do the customer. I would not ever recommend them.Service: Engine repairService: Engine repair
