Lake Street Auto Repairs & Parts

If you need to get your car fixed, go to Lake Street Auto and ask for Dino. There is no other mechanic I will ever trust my car with. He knows everything inside and out and will always do the job right and charge fairly. These guys have quick and quality service– no bs, just 40+ years of experience.

Extremely fair pricing — their labor rate is about half what the dealer and other shops charge. I can bring my own parts and they will change out for me. Fast service — in by morning, done by evening. This was a great referral when my family mechanic didn’t want to buy a tool to service my vehicle.

Incredibly fair pricing, same day service, great customer service, and a job beyond well done. I was hesitant at first to use them, but they’re the only guys I want to go to now. The owner, Gus, is a straightforward kinda guy, no fuss, no up sells, he gets your car taken care and gets you going.

The only shop I use, govern the choice, and has been for the last three years. Quality work, friendly and knowledgeable mechanics, and so much less expensive than literally anywhere else I’ve ever seen. The few times I’ve gotten quotes elsewhere, I’ve wound up coming to Lake Street Auto instead, and have saved as much as $ 300 on parts and labor, multiple times. They never try to sell you more work than is necessary, and I’ve never had issues with their workmanship. Can’t recommend these guys highly enough.

It is one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a mechanics. I went for some issues with suspension on my volvo SUV which tended to pull to the left when braking. The mechanic there gave an estimate saying that I dont need to change the control arms and changing a tie rod will do.
So I take the car two days later and the supervisor called Gus, fits the tie rod for a 160 $. When I drive the car the issue is not gone and he tells me that I need to pay another 273 $ to fix the control arm. I have a big argument with him contesting that I did not go to him to change a part, rather I needed him to fix the problem!!!
He told me to pay and go somewhere else if I am not happy. I go to another mechanic and here is what I find out .
1-​He changed the wrong tie rod. He changed the outer tie rod instead of inner
2-​He charged me $ 87 for a part that costs between 29 $ and 35 $ at every auto parts store
Moral of the storey, never ever go to this guy
