Almost 15 years ago I dropped by an Autozone with my only old car. I had an oil issue, tire issues, etc...... Autozone did as much as they could to direct me and then one person said that I should go around the corner and get my car looked at "LRE Automotive" I said, "L - What.....?" I got the address and when I found this place I can't tell you how much they have been a part of my inner circle and family. You see when I walked in I explained to them the problem I had with my car when I got a recommendation to come to LRE. In short, I can say to all (anyone interested) that as an African American Woman, I cannot say enough about the trust, integrity, and great service I received from this company's men. I recently had them change my oil and asked them (Greg & Terry) if they remembered when I first entered their shop (February 2012.... ). Greg laughed and said - yes. I do! I reminded him that when I first came in I told them that I went miles to (St. Peters - over 30 miles out from Edwardsville, IL.). I'll say this- that I have driven my car literally across the Country and back, but before leaving to Massachusetts, guess who I know was going to take care of my car - as if it were family. I tell them often that they are family and I remind them why. I do remember one of them asking me why did I go so far out to get my car worked on....? I'll never forget that I told them that I cannot just go anywhere and get my car fixed by anyone and that with all of the shops that are around town and in the Metropolitan area, you can't just trust anyone with the only transportation that you have....So, just to add, I have to say that when you are getting service ANYWHERE, the most important piece that counts and it ranks right up there with competency is the Hospitality - Thanks Guys & Debbie!

Recently had a new Jasper engine installed in my 2010 Chevy Silverado by LRE. I couldn't be happier with the service I received from the very moment I walked through their door. I will definitely use them and recommend them to everyone in the future.

We have brought our cars here for a little while now and are very pleased with their service. They go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of quickly and efficiently. This week, we just drove one of our cars in with no appointment because of a scary noise it was making. We were told they were really busy and would try to get to it this week but it may not be until next week. The next morning I got a text that it was done and ready for pickup!!! Amazing! We would recommend LRE to anyone who wants someone they can trust and feel comfortable with taking their cars there.

Newer Vehicles Generate as Much As 25GB of Data/Hour according to McKinsey. Now That is Extremely Interesting! It is also daunting as we now need to know "what data" right? You also want to know where it is going if anywhere and who owns the data? All interesting questions that we never thought about. Just get in and drive, choose a destination and if a light goes off in the dash you call us here at LRE Automotive, Inc to schedule an appointment. We want our Edwardsville drivers to be informed as always and able to make their choices based on having facts. This is a big change in the automotive-truck service industry and it really has not hit the news at all, so it is up to us to get you up-to-date and informed. Here are the facts and where you can find more information!

I had an issue with my vehicle that I self diagnosed and dropped off at LRE. They are such good professionals and honest they advised me that I was wrong and saved me a ton of money. It's nice to have good honest people in the business and for once I feel like a found a repair shop where I don't need to be an expert to protect myself. I will not look for any repair shops other than LRE in the future and thanks for making my experience the best I ever had anywhere!

If you own a Ford vehicle you may be affected by this recall. According to CBS News, Ford recently announced a recall that affects over 1.3 million vehicles that are primarily located in North America. The recall was issued mainly due to problems with rear suspension and transmission control software.
