This establishment is the best! Reminds me of how things were done in the old days. Everyone gets bumps and bruises on your car, especially if you have kids that drive. In the past when my kids had issues like broken side view mirrors or minor bruises Lakeside took care of it expeditiously and at a fair price. Today I went there for a trim issue on my car that was caused by me scraping the ice off my windshield. One trip through the carwash and it was now a larger issue. The gentleman behind the desk came right out and said he could take care of if I came back in an hour. Sure enough, I went back and he took care of it in 30 minutes while I waited. I asked how much and he said it was on the house! That never happens these days! Please support this business, they are great!

Unfortunately, this is the second time we’ve needed Armand and Lakeside Autorebuilders this year — but once again, they proved why we will never go anywhere else. When my husband was recently in an accident, I called Armand to ask if he could help us. Even though he was fully booked through January, he still found a way to fit us in. We had the car towed to Lakeside, and instead of letting it sit for weeks while we waited for parts, Armand went above and beyond: he literally cut a hole in the bumper to pull out the bent muffler so the car would be safe to drive. Since this accident was considered 50/50 fault, we only had 30 days of rental coverage — and Armand saved us from paying for extra out of pocket rental fees. He did all this before insurance had even gotten involved. He didn’t do it for business; he did it because he’s genuinely a good person. He knew we were just trying to get another year out of our 11-year-old car, and he helped make that possible. Once the parts arrived, he called us, we dropped the car off, and it was finished in LESS THAN A WEEK. He even removed the old peeling dealer sticker and fixed the trunk springs that kept giving out — small things, but incredibly appreciated. I never expected to be on a first-name basis with an auto body repair guy, but after being saved twice this year, I’m grateful we found Armand. Hopefully we get a break from accidents… but if we ever need help again, we’re only going to Lakeside. Truly above and beyond service. Highly, highly recommend!

After being in an accident with my less-than-two-month-old car, I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to turn. I wasn’t familiar with the area, but I was told that Lakeside Auto Rebuilders were the best in the business—so I had my car towed there. The accident happened on a Saturday and left my car undriveable. Insurance took nearly two weeks to approve the work because of an uncooperative at fault driver, but Lakeside held onto my car without a single complaint. Because my car was so new, parts were back ordered, and they ended up having my vehicle for 10 weeks. Through all of it, their kindness and professionalism stood out. They kept me updated every step of the way, always patient and reassuring. When I finally got my car back, I was blown away. It looks and drives exactly like it did the day I brought it home from the dealership—and yes, they even kept their promise that it would still have that “new car smell.” ? I will never take my car anywhere else. Lakeside Auto Rebuilders went above and beyond, and I cannot recommend them enough!
