Jeff and the crew at Leadfoot Linda's diagnosed my faulty AC and were able to fix the problem just 1 day after I called (even with the record wait times at other shops and supply chain issues). Between the quick and effective repair, clear explanations, and follow up to ensure it was still working days after I picked up the vehicle, I've never worked with such a helpful auto shop. I'd recommend Leadfoot to anyone looking for peace of mind when getting car repairs done in the valley.

Have been taking our vehicles to Leadfoot Linda's for many years. Jeff the shop manager always takes great care of us and is very accommodating when we need service. When I have had issues Kenny the owner has contacted me directly and taken extra effort to make things right in a timely manner. Excellent timely service, backing up their work and commitment to doing things right keeps us coming back even though we have moved 20 miles away.

The service team at Leadfoot Linda's replaced my front struts on my Honda Accord. They did a fantastic job! They are extremely throughout, they take pictures of all their work, they are clean and they clearly explain everything that they are going to do before they do the work. The gentleman in the service department at Leadfoot Linda's treated me with the utmost respect, they had no idea that I had any prior experience in mechanics, so when they explained what they were going to do with my car in layman's terms, they earned a life long client. Thank you Jeff and the Leadfoot Linda's team!
