We are equipped to do factory programming/re-flashing on Ford and General Motors vehicles! For newcomers, a little about Mid-City Auto Service. My name is Tony Naquin. Our main business is 2000 thru 2013 model vehicles, but we DO work on older vehicles as well. We have pretty much made our mark and developed a huge customer return rate by dedicating our resources to only those thing that fix cars, that's why you are here, not to see flowers and have a snack.Now, a little about me. I graduated the now long gone LCHS in 1983.

We are equipped to do factory programming/re-flashing on Ford and General Motors vehicles! Do not fall victim to this. This is NOT how faults are diagnosed, that fault code the scanner retrieved is only a TOOL.often. VERY OFTEN, the part they sell you is not the real problem and is NOT NEEDED. It cannot let the user look at the data of the many sensors in the system and even if it did show this info like a full fledged scan tool, it takes much training and years of experience to interpret this info correctly.

THIS shot of a new pump is what a 100,000 mile pump looks like if the cooling system IS maintained properly!

In the following shots this truck came in for a coolant leak, while we were working on it James noticed a few things. Evidently some other shop had changed the intake manifold gasket. These arrows show the crankcase breather from the valve cover left off and under the air inlet duct.

Highly recommend Tony & his crew. They changed out my fuel injectors and brake pads & rotors at different times, but both were done within the same day. If you need a mechanic or have questions, give them a call. Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto brake replacement, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes

I can only say excellent things about this establishment. It's so hard finding trustful mechanic shops in my travel, but my prayers were answered when I found Mid City. There could be a wait, but Tony and his crew will treat your vehicle like their own. When in LC, this will be the only place I will go for servicing on my car beyond the normal oil changes.

Honesty, Integrity and Knowledge. Something Billy Navarre Service Dept could learn from Tony and James. We had shifting problems with our 2010 Honda Accord V6. They literally dug deeper into our problem and resolved the issue. They are true MECHANICS, not IT guys who merely hook up a computer to diagnose a problem. Tony and James look for symptoms and diagnose the illness. They have certainly earned my future business as well as any family or friends who need recommendations. Well done!

I'm not from Lake Charles, however my wife and Mother in law are. We were passing through town headed on a weekend getaway when the check engine light came on. On a holiday Friday I knew how busy they would be. I walked in and was told they couldn't get to the truck for 6 days but did say " tell me what's happening" after telling him I felt so comfortable with our decision to move on the trip.thanks guys for your time

Tony was on top of things! I had never used Mid City before this time and I was ABSOLUTY impressed! I was kept up to date on my car progress and delays due to part orders. Best part about it is they saved me A LOT of money. I will for sure be sending my friends their way. I will continue my business with this company from here on out. Very down to earth people and not out to take you for everything, he was very honest with me. My car runs better than ever!

The dealership diagnosed my problem as needing a new fan assembly (for $750). Although the dealership is good to diagnose a problem, they are highly overpriced, and I decided to look elsewhere for the actual repair work to be completed. Mid City Auto came recommended to me by another service station in town. I went by and talked with them and although I didn't mention that I even had it looked at previously, he diagnosed it as needing the whole fan assembly also.
I brought my car later that week and he had the fan assembly changed out by the next day, for about $300 less than the dealership quote. The next time something breaks, I'm going here first. I wish I could give 4.5 stars.

Place doesn't look like much, but hey, it's a garage, right? The guy that owns the place is called Tony. He's pretty timely, honest and fair. I've been bringing both mine and my wife's vehicles there for about a year and I've never had to bring them back because the work wasn't done correctly. Looking for a new mechanic can be risky, like trying a new Chinese restaurant, but I feel good about telling you Tony is trustworthy. Hope this helps.
