Carl has been working on my cars for several years now and I finally decided to drop a review after he fixed my Toyota Prius engine issues.Carl hands down is the best mechanic out there. I drive older higher mileage vehicles and the number one thing I look for is what does the car actually need and will the mechanic be honest with me about those issues. Most mechanics around Seattle want to sell you on every single little problem with higher mileage vehicles. The problem is that doesn’t make any sense at all and it’s not smart business. You’ll end up spending way more then the car is worth. Just go buy a new car! But Carl understands what a car needs and what it doesn’t and most importantly, he’s honest with you about the process. Sure if you want to fix EVERY problem he’ll do it for you but he will also tell you exactly what the critical issues are to keep you running safely and still drive your higher mileage vehicle. Exactly what I want and need! I can’t recommend lake city auto works enough. Even if you’re driving newer vehicles. The prices are competitive and the service and honesty is outstanding. Don’t go to the other mechanics who are just plain lazy and will charge you fees up the ying Yang just so they can say they “fixed your car” fixing every single non essential item. Work with Carl at lake city auto and you won’t be disappointed!

To say an autobody shop is honest, ethical, polite and very customer service oriented is almost unheard of. Not here. I trust them and have referred people who then in turn, refer people. Lake City Autoworks has a 4.9 rating for a reason: They're good, very good.

Hey there,I've got to give a solid 5-star shoutout to Lake City Autoworks and the crew led by Carl. This place is the real deal for folks who don't want any nonsense when it comes to car care.First off, these guys are straight shooters. They'll give it to you straight on price, maintenance schedules, and whether that repair or improvement is worth your hard-earned cash. No fluff or jargon, just honesty.But what really sets them apart is their customer obsession. You'll understand why they're always booked out for weeks or months once you experience their top-notch service. Carl and his team go above and beyond to take care of you. They're not just fixing cars; they're making sure you leave satisfied.Let me share a quick story to highlight their dedication. My power steering decided to take a vacation right in their parking lot, towing a heavy trailer, mind you, and it happened right around closing time. I won't dive into all the nitty-gritty details, but Carl and his crew had my truck ready to roll by the time they opened the next morning. That's some serious commitment to their customers.So, if you're in Seattle and want a no-nonsense, honest, and customer-focused auto shop, Lake City Autoworks is the place to go. Carl and his team won't let you down, that's for sure.Keep on truckin'!Kyle

This place was recommended to me by several different people, and I can see why.I've used Lake City Autoworks several times over the years, and I've been thoroughly impressed with their service. Staff is courteous and helpful, even going as far as to give me a ride home in their personal vehicle while I waited for my car to be serviced. I've seen cheaper mechanics, but LC Autoworks does the best quality work in the area. There's even been an occasion or two when they have discovered ways to save me a significant amount of money (over $1000 in one instance). Their honesty, integrity, and quality work keep me coming back. Highly recommend!

Karl and his crew are great people and definitely stand by their work. There were a couple times when he pointed out some things that he thought I could replace myself to save money. They don't nickel and dime you and offer great service.

Very helpful, knowledgeable and thoughtful. Lake City Auto was super quick to correct an oversight on a small repair for my Honda CR-V and went above and beyond to make things right. Always professional and friendly...we have used Lake City Auto for our family vehicles for years and will continue to do so.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Check the rating and call them before I go in !Good service ! Good price ! Quick diagnosis cost only 80 dollars . Way lower than the other car shop .Very patient with the customer !Take care of my engine problem for 1100 dollars ! I guess that is a reasonable price for the problem!They got the problem dealt with in 2-3 hours after we drop in the car because they won’t let us drive with car with engine problems. They care !Very efficient and effective service to me !

Carl and his crew really saved me. Electrical issue would stall the car at any moment without warning. Towed the car in and drove it out without problems since. Simple, efficient, and advanced problem solving. I'd recommend this experience to anyone.

I will for now on only go to Lake City Autoworks. My coworker referred me initially. After a long (very long) car-problem saga (the details of which I won't list here so it doesn't run off the page), I was very happy to have Karl and his team in my corner and to have their expertise. Everyone is professional and down-to-earth, which is exactly the kind of thing you hope for after getting your car stolen and fubared. My car came out of the shop even better than before it had been stolen. Go here if you want expert care and genuine people.Services: Battery

I took my car in for an oil change here. I had read the reviews. They are very thorough and were able to tell me also that my coolant was just 'fine', so that saved me money. The other part? They vacuumed out my car! I loved that since there are no commercial vacuum stations near Northgate.

Great team with honest customer support and options for repair. We've been going for years and keep coming back. When you find a great shop with honest people, you keep going. That is the team at Lake City Autoworks.
