Fixed a slow leak in my tire in 5 minutes for only 15 bucks. Sure beat driving up to Mentor avenue to one of the tire shops!

I was very impressed with this auto shop. They did my front brakes for almost half of the cost that the dealer quoted me. Very personable and nice people to deal with, both at the front desk and with the service technician. He explained my options and I didn't feel like I was taken advantage of or talked down to because I'm a woman. No high pressure sales tactics here. Service was timely as well. They got me in and out knowing that I was waiting. Initially I intended to walk home a couple miles, but the heat was pretty unbearable by that point in the morning. Will definitely be bringing my car here for any future needs.

Awesome shop. Had work done on my 2016 KIA a few times and the work was exemplary and the cost was reasonable. I highly recommend!



12/11/2023

Great service! Very conscientious and highly communicative with car owner. Had tires replace at 71K miles. Tech called about needing rear brakes and rotors. Provided cost and I immediately approved. Picked up SUV a little later. These are great technicians and very honest. I highly recommend and will be back.

I been having my car worked on there for quite a few years now. My son's child hood friend work there. He a 5 star mechanic. The business there is top notch. The price is very good. I come all the way from the Westside of Cleveland to Willoughby Ohio because it's hard to find a good mechanic shop.

This was my first visit to this neighborhood business and we were very impressed. They checked my concerns, found nothing wrong, and we weren't charged. What I needed would have required a fair amount of time and effort ... no charge! We will definitely return for any service needs for our 2 cars. Thank you Lakeside Auto.

This was the first time I've had my car serviced at Lakeside. The work was done professionally and the car was done when promised. The staff were friendly and professional. We will undoubtedly be taking our cars here again.



04/27/2023

I got a nail in my tire, so decided to take my car in. They got me in right away, and patched my tire for a minimal fee. Will definitely go back for any future issues!

Several years ago, we took our car to the dealership service department. They indicated that the muffler needed replaced and it would cost around $1,800. This seemed a little high, so we took the car to Lakeside and they said that they could just patch a hole in the tailpipe, which we had them do. This work was less than $200. We haven't had a problem with this muffler several years later. We now take all of our cars to Lakeside Service and they've been incredibly helpful for two main reasons: 1. You can trust what they say about your car. They don't recommend costly repairs that aren't needed. 2. The pricing for their services is very reasonable. You'll never overpay for car service again. If you're not happy with your current repair shop, just take your cars to Lakeside.

Brought my car here because I suspected that another shop was taking me "for a ride". Everything that they told me made perfect sense. I paid $15!!! I did order tires from them too....those will be put on and paid for next week.

Trust worthy mechanic, I would recommend, reasonable pricing too.



08/11/2022

Absolutely the best place for car repairs and most reasonable price. Super terrific mechanics and fast. Brought my car in to see what was wrong with all the noise it was making. They found the problem, called and had it in and out in two and a half hours. Did not try to push or sell me on what was not necessary and very honest. Can't sing their praises enough. They have a new customer.

These guys and gals are always there for me when I need a fix or first/second opinion. They are down to earth with no overselling. There is a park about a block a way with basketball courts, frisbee golf course and a track to kill time.

Got my van in on an emergency. Fairly priced. Decent work. Will be taking my vehicle back there again. Thank you guys.



07/27/2021

I feared the worst (most expensive) problem with some front end noise only to find it was a simple in-expensive issue. I was pleasantly surprised they were able to focus instead on some other maintenance I asked for. Honest work at reasonable prices, you just can't ask for anything more. Thanks again everyone!



07/16/2021

I was referred to this shop 2 years ago by a co-worker who's friend is a mechanic here and I was stunned by the professionalism, honesty, excellent work and fair prices this shop offered. I recently took my brother-in-laws car to them for a complete inspection, to determine what was needed to get the car up to spec to sell it. They were very honest and open on telling me what needed to be done and their pricing was exceptional. I would highly recommend taking your vehicles to them for any service needed, you will not be disappointed! I wish more companies would follow their lead.

This was my first time going to this repair shop and I WILL ALWAYS go back! My heat was not working and I had 2 different estimates from other shops who quoted me at $950-$1,000 to replace my heater and it didn't sound right to me so I brought it here and the guys called me a few hours after dropping it off and said nothing is wrong with my heater, someone had UNPLUGGED something to keep my heat from working. It goes to show how dishonest other shops really are that they lied to me but Lakeside Auto was honest with me and saved me so much unnecessary money. They could have lied to get more $ but they don't do business that way and I appreciate them so much! the trouble I was put in with no heat for 2 weeks with my baby was horrid and im so thankful to have found an honest shop!!



reviewicon

This is my "go to" place for repairs. I break down in the morning, get towed to their building and left before end of day!



reviewicon

If I could rate them higher, I would! Had my car at Mentor Nissan over 3 days, and they weren't able to find out what was wrong with it (I drive a Nissan Altima). Took my car over to Lakeside, and within 12 hours I knew exactly what was wrong with my car, and it would only cost me a FRACTION of what Mentor Nissan quoted me. Fast, Reliable, Professional, and Very Friendly!



reviewicon

I love this place. Everyone is friendly and professional. Prices are reasonable too.



reviewicon

Fair prices, great mechanics. Been going there for years. Mechanics are friendly and always have time to talk to you about your car.



reviewicon

Pleasant staff, clean shop/storefront, great prices. You'll not be disappointed!



reviewicon

I needed a specific repair done that the dealership quoted at $1800. Lakeside originally quoted $1600 but they promised to do some research and came back to me with an $800 quote. They did a good job on the fix and even gave me a car to use- no extra charge- while they worked on my car.
