Nancy (Subaru owner) reviewed 8/1/26

I have referred several friends to to them. LAKE SIDE AUTO exceeds expectations.

Armen and Mike are an awesome team. I made an appointment to take my car in after having an accident. I brought it in on a Monday and it was ready on Wednesday. They are very diligent and take pride in their work. They did a great job and were amazing at communicating when my car was done. It only took three days. That was very impressive. I highly recommend these guys. I’ve been going there as problems occur!

My car looks brand new as promised! Thanks for doing such a great job. I was very stressed out when somebody hit my brand new car and you can’t even tell that it happened. Thanks, Armen and Mike.
