Lawtons Automotive

couldn’t be more appreciative of the honesty and in depth explanation of what was wrong with my car. Brought in a Honda civic for engine leaking oil and they were able to diagnose it and told me the truth that fixing it wouldn’t be a good option as the issue will keep happening. Instead of telling me “yea I’ll fix it for you” and I end up keep returning it for the same issue. They told me the truth about how much I’ll be spending and opinion on if it was worth it or not.

Jerry Lawton is hands-down the best mechanic around. Honest, reliable, and always fair. His son Cole is part of the business too, and together they make an incredible team. They get the job done right every time. Highly recommend!

My car is a piece of junk. I have had it fixed prior with no luck. These guys are like car angels. First I dropped it off wrong spot they picked it up and took it to the other shop and brought it back. Then they found the problem I have been fighting since I got the car. This shop primo ! They are amazing and I really appreciate them for taking the time and finding the actual issue to my car. As a female most shops think they can get over but these guys really treated me well. I suggest they be your forever mechanic if you are in the Albany area. They are honest, customer service impeccable.

went to this shop for a repair estimate and was quoted for multiple repairs that were not actually needed. I got a second opinion from another reputable shop and the estimate came back almost half the price, with confirmation that several items from the first estimate were unnecessary. This experience felt misleading and like an attempt to upsell unneeded work. I strongly recommend getting a second opinion before agreeing to any repairs here.

Today my car got stuck in reverse in the Honest Weight parking lot. The folks at the customer service desk told me to go talk to the guys at Lawton’s cause they’re great, and boy were they right! Even after I explained that I likely wouldn’t be able to give them my business because I’d need to take my car to someone local to me, the man at the desk sent Cole to walk over with me to take a look at it. Cole temporarily fixed the issue, drove it around the block to make sure it would be ok to drive to a mechanic near me, and talked to me about what he thought the issue was. Really grateful for the help!! These guys are wonderful, please give them your business!
