Auto Repair for Monett & Lawrence County
We're a local, owner-operated shop on Dairy Street, serving drivers across Lawrence County and the surrounding area. Landyn and the crew work on everyday vehicles just as much as big diesels, so whether it's the family minivan, your work truck, or a high-mileage commuter, it gets the same attention.
We'll talk you through what we find before we touch your wallet. If something can wait, we'll tell you. If something can't, we'll tell you that too.

How it works
Our process
- 01
Call or stop in
Tell us what you're noticing. The more detail (when it happens, sounds, warning lights) the faster we can zero in.
- 02
Diagnose first
We inspect and test to find the actual cause instead of guessing and throwing parts at it.
- 03
Straight answer
We explain what we found and what it'll take, and you decide before work starts.
- 04
Fix it and get you back on the road
We do the repair, double-check our work, and let you know when it's ready.
Who we serve
Daily drivers
Commuter cars, family SUVs and minivans that need to stay dependable.
Gas pickups
Half-tons and work trucks that get used hard around town and on the farm.
High-mileage vehicles
Older vehicles where an honest opinion on what's worth fixing matters.
Small businesses
Local company cars and service vehicles that can't sit idle.
A lot of folks come to us because a diesel shop that also does regular auto repair means one stop for every vehicle in the driveway. Bring the car in with the truck and we'll take care of both.
We're open Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 8 AM to noon. The quickest way to get on the schedule is to call. Se habla español.

Auto Repair FAQ
Do you work on regular cars or just diesels?
Both. We repair cars, gas pickups and SUVs every day in addition to diesel trucks.
Can you tell me why my check engine light is on?
Yes. We scan the codes and then test to confirm the actual cause, since a code alone doesn't always tell the whole story.
Will you call me before doing any work?
Always. We explain what we found and what it'll take, and nothing gets done until you say go.
Do I need an appointment?
Calling ahead at (417) 205-3705 is the best way to get on the schedule, but give us a call any time during business hours and we'll figure out the soonest we can see you.
What are your hours?
Monday–Friday 8 AM–5 PM and Saturday 8 AM–12 PM. We're closed Sunday.
