This review is not about the quality of the work. This review is about communication with the customer, or lack thereof. It doesn't appear that they respond to any reviews so I'm unsure if they even see what folks are saying, but it is yet another indication of a lack of good communication with the customer. All that I will say is you need to specifically ask them to keep you in the loop and to call you before any work is done. If you don't, you should be prepared to pay a premium for whatever it is that they went ahead and did. Be clear...be very clear that you want to know what it will cost before they do anything. Good businesses are up front with their customers and keep them informed. If Lakeside is able to start doing this simple thing they will avoid making their clients feel like they were taken. Additionally, they have a sign that says there is a "3.5% discount for cash", but there is no discount. The rate they quote you is just an additional 3.5% if you pay by card. This is also misinformation that should be corrected. I will say they were very pleasant as I wrote the check.

It’s hard to find a good group of guys that actually still take pride in the work they do nowadays, But Scott and his guys at Lakeside Auto do just that. You may pay a little more than another shop But you pay for what you get. Very quality work.

Lakeside auto is THE place to go for Corvette repair and maintenance! Scott is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They do the job right, at the right price. I'll never take my Vette anywhere else!

Fantastic company! I needed a harmonic balancer for my C5. I did my homework for who to trust in a 100+ mile range of Richmond Virginia who can do quality work, but particularly on Chevy Corvettes, and Lakeside Auto was almost always the answer. I interviewed Jeremiah and Scott at this establishment. I also did the same at alternate repair facilities. I chose Lakeside Auto: So glad I did. Professional, on time, accurate estimate.

Scott and his crew are tops in customer service. I purchased a 63 Corvette and Scott took time to go over the car with me to give me advice on purchase and service. I had several breakdowns and Scott was there for me to help me along. You can tell that he has trained his staff to give the kind of service needed to keep long-term customers. There is no doubt that I will be using him for all of my service. I’m a retired 50 year retailer and know that this is what it takes to stay in business as long as he has been in business. Thank you Scott for all of your help.

I Highly recommend Lakeside Auto. Ive been a customer for over 10 years. Good service, and decent labor rates.

About a month ago I had my brake caliper replaced with Lakeside, during the process they seized my wheel lug nut and did not inform me about it. I later learned about the seized lug nut when trying to get new tires. I called Lakeside, informing them of the problem, and they tip toed around trying not to admit to the fact that they were the ones that caused lug nut to seize. All in all, I would not recommend their services based on the fact that they could not at least admit that there could have been a lack of performance on their part which caused the problem.

I’ve been taking our cars to Lakeside since 1979. It’s family owned and run. I won’t go anywhere else.
