Lightfoot Automotive

I have taken my Volvo to Lightfoot Automotive for years now. Mike Lightfoot (owner) is honest, kind & does great work. He will honestly tell me if I can let something go a while or if it’s an urgent repair. They are about good service & not just making a buck. I cannot say enough good things about them! Thank you Lightfoot for years of good service!

Well, Lightfoot Automotive saved me $ 2600!
Another local shop said I needed both catalytic converters and four O2 sensors replaced, after the check engine light came on, for a cost of $ 3600. Someone had previously recommended Lightfoot, so I called and talked to Ray. He asked me the code they were seeing, which after telling him he said it’s only for one cat and quoted me a price of $ 900 less tax.
I made an appointment, took the car in and sure enough it was only one cat that was bad and the O2 sensors were fine. However, before they started the work they checked the codes to make sure and there was another code for Evap. Ray mentioned this could include the gas cap and then I realized the other shop had not cleared this code after they replaced a faulty gas cap.
As a precaution, I spent an extra $ 64 to have Lightfoot check all the Evap hoses and connectors to make sure there wasn’t something triggering the code, there wasn’t.
The next day I took my truck in for oil change and will continue to use Lightfoot for their expertise and honesty.
BTW, Ray showed me the bad cat when I went into pay; shaking it indicated it truly was bad. I had other work done by the other local shop and they never showed me the bad parts; this was my fault for not asking, however now I’m wondering if I needed everything they claimed I did.

First time users of Lightfoot and we were very happy with our service. They replaced our clutch in a 2005 Toyota Matrix and did a wonderful timely job.

Took our 2004 4 runner there for new breaks and ended up having to take it back 3 different times because the brakes were worse AFTER the new ones were put on than before! After the 3^rd time of them not getting it right, I ended up taking it to Les Schwab instead and they knew right away what the issue was and fixed it right then and there. The front office guy is VERY nice and tries to be as helpful as possible, wish I could say the same thing about the owner. Tried to talk to him about how unhappy we were and barely got an audible response from the guy. They did compensate us for our inconvenience by offering a free service the next time around, so I figured I’d give them another chance and took it in for an oil change and tire rotation/​check. After they did that work, my tire pressure light came on in my car. What?! Didn’t they check my tire pressure?! Won’t be back…

I have dealt with many local auto repair shops, in the last few years. And have been unhappy till now.
Lightfoot Automotive has been honest, reliable and reasonably priced. I can believe them when they say I need a certain part. Having confidence in their honesty and that they know how to actually diagnose an issue. They are a great business!
