This is the worst auto repair shop I have ever had to deal with. I don't even know where to start. In the past 2 weeks we have had our car repaired there 3 times. After picking up the car which the owner claimed was fixed, the car was broke down on the side of the road and had to be towed. As if 1 bogus repair wasn't enough, a few days later we brought it back with a new problem. When we picked it up after another expensive repair we made it about 6 miles until we were stuck on the side of the road again due to the same problem that they supposedly replaced and repaired. So for the second time it went back and were told that there was air in the system due to a bad radiator cap. So the mechanic put a brand new radiator and hoses in but put the broken radiator cap back on and told us that pressure could build up and make antifreeze leak and that we should get a new cap, instead of just replacing the cap himself which is just common sense. The kids that change oil at Valvoline probably could have figured that out. So he changed the cap and who knows what else he did or didn't do and for the 3rd time said the car was fixed and ready to be picked up. So I picked it up and this time I got through 1 day and then the car started overheating and antifreeze was leaking out all over the place again. So now stuck on the road gain. I would never bring anything there to have it fixed if you do it will just come back in worst condition then before it went in. I have never seen worse service in my life. This guy needs to retire and find another field to work in. Actually maybe he shouldn't work anywhere. Don't ever bring your car to lakeside auto repair unless you want to be stuck on the side of the road. This place should be shut down and their licenses taken away. And they do inspections so I can only imagine how many cars are on the road that are completely unsafe the 1 Star I rated is to much but I can't undo it
