I rarely leave negative reviews, but I'm really disappointed with how this was handled. I brought my car in because the A/C stopped working after I had recharged the system myself with refrigerant. I told them upfront that my $50 recharge had only lasted about two weeks and that I suspected there might be a leak. I was assured there was no leak, but their repair would address the issue. I spent $317 (I am a teacher, so that is no small chunk of change to me) trusting that it would be a lasting fix. Less than two weeks later, my A/C stopped working again with the exact same symptoms. I've been trying to contact the shop since June 24 by both text and email, and as of July 4 I still haven't received a response. At this point, I don't even want another repair, I just want a refund and for someone to stand behind the work I paid for. Being completely ignored after spending that kind of money is incredibly frustrating. Based on my experience, I can't recommend this shop.

Update: I recently tried making a service inquiry again via their website, which was AGAIN ignored. Previous review: I’ve messaged Lawson at least 3 times regarding getting repairs done on my car, and have not received ANY reply from them. Why have a website that invites repair inquiries - and why be in business - if you’re going to ignore new business inquiries?

Out of town visiting and our truck needed a wheel bearing. Lawsons was recommended. Took truck in in the afternoon. Diagnosed same day and ordered part. Ready to go the next morning. Would totally recommend.

Employees at Lawson & Son were friendly and professional. They thoroughly elevated my vehicle and determined the problem. Rather than charging me for a new engine, they recommend getting rid of the car. Their honesty and trustworthiness were refreshing and have earned my future business.
