Lakeside Radiator & Auto Repair

I have a 2006 Honda Element and within the family this place has been used for at least 15 years and have solely trusted this mechanic to where the first place we go to when something goes wrong is this place and it has always been expensive on occasions there has been a couple times where they want too bad and it was a good deal but to see what has happened after going in when our transmission went out trusting they would give us a good number outrageous number that's worth more than the vehicle itself but I don't know about you but I've never heard of a transmission rebuilder repair or replacement or whatever he was wanting to do was it lowball estimate of 6,500 to $7,200 has lost a lot of trust from that because I called four other mechanics places afterwards and none of them had any quote higher than 3,000 at the worst case scenario I don't see how that's possible to have a quote double the price of what anyone is Charging I will not be using this mechanic again

Moved from out of state and my first day going to my new job, my truck starting leaking coolant. I found this place and they were booked out about 2 weeks. I didn't have a choice to leave it, had my truck back in 2 days!

Just popped in to arrange an oil change and a smog test. Got a 2 week schedule out due to their business appointments. Seem very friendly. Met the previous owner 30 years ago, a nice guy, but lived far side of county, so didn't follow thru. Current owner seems just as nice, son of previous owner. Now that I live out here, time to check them out. Got a spot open on Monday.

Marty keeps his customers informed and they do great work, at Lakeside Radiator.

I took my Van in for a check engine light and for some air conditioning service. The final bill was less than the estimate. I am very happy to have found an honest mechanic. Services: Air conditioning, Auto engine diagnostic

They are very efficient and knowledgeable about all types of vehicles

Our new auto shop. We took our hand-me-down Jetta in thinking it needed a new computer because it wouldn't smog test. Jake fixed it without it needing a replacement and it passed the test. They could have taken advantage of us, but didn't. They get our work from here on out.

Stopped in to see if they could help me with exchanging license plates. The guys are awesome! Did it for me in just a few minutes. I'll be sure to come back for actual maintenance and any repairs needed

Great crew! They are not over priced but they go by the book and don't try to oversell. I'll definitely be back.

Had a smog check done on my truck a couple months back and it failed miserably. I went to this place expecting to deal with the long drawn out process of the BAR program. Darrel (I think that's his name) is very down to earth and very genuine. I left my truck with him and got a call the next day saying it passed with flying colors. They got some kind magic working in that shop there, left paying $70 instead of a possible $300 plus. Thanks!

I've been taking my cars here for years. Always diligent and honest service. Highly recommended!

Found this place from a recommendation from Autozone. Glad I found this gem. The owner is completely honest and genuine. These guys are cooling system experts and they fixed my problem for less then I would've paid elsewhere. If I had gone elsewhere I would've just wasted my money on parts and service that wasn't needed. These guys are pretty fast and they know what they're doing. I'd highly recommend them to anyone and it's a great chance that they will always get my business.
