My son and I went over to Lakeside motors this morning to look at a 2014 Ford Explorer. The…read moregentleman that we met was very courteous and had a great attitude. Another gentleman behind the computer identified himself as the owner and said he was there for 30 years. I told him the only reason I was there is because I found him on yelp and your customers love you. He smiled, and said "hey, we try to do our best. You know it's a car business it's tough, but we try to do our best."! I think that's all we can expect is someone's best. The salesman was a very nice gentleman who let us look at the car without interrupting or acting condescending, etc. He recognized I had a small amount of mechanical aptitude and did not belittle me or put me down because I was trying to do a little due diligence on count of my 17 1/2 year-old son. We took the vehicle for a ride and came back. We said we had to take a drive and talk about it. He said, "why don't you take this car for another drive and talk about it"? which I thought was pretty great. We took another drive in the car and we came back and made a great deal! I didn't beat them up and they did not beat me up. It felt really good to do a good old-fashioned deal. The handshake , well it was great, I know that sounds corny and a little ridiculous but if you come here, I'm sure you'll experience the same thing. We haven't picked the car up yet. Just did the deal, but I'll certainly check back and let you all know.

John is the absolute best, i was in and out in a few hours and the car is just perfect. John constantly let me speak to the mechanic which im sure he didn't like,lol throughout the project and i cant say enough. The mechanic was so nice and knowledgeable, I've never felt with someone working on my car. Beautiful clean waiting room with drinks,TV amd couches. Its just such a great experience being there at zaks auto in Hudson nh. Dont do it to urself bring ur vehicle to zaks for anything u need done. More then fair pricing and a great group of guys. They have one of the cleanest shops I've ever been in. Another great job done by zaks. Thanks guys, c u this winter

My review to Zaks auto:…read more I brought my vehicle to this shop for an oil change, brake fluid flush, and other maintenance before a Porsche Club of America (PCA) track event. They also performed their complimentary PCA tech inspection, which is advertised as a thorough inspection. I specifically asked that all vehicle fluids be inspected before the event. During the track day, my car suffered a power steering failure that left me stranded. I had to call my regular mechanic to the track to repair the car so I could get it home, resulting in a significant repair bill and a lost track day. They offered no support or reparations. When I first contacted the shop, their response was simply, "You brought the vehicle to a track. We aren't liable." It was only after multiple phone calls that they acknowledged the power steering fluid had appeared discolored while the car was in their shop all day, but they never communicated that to me. I understand that track cars can fail. My issue isn't the failure--it's the lack of communication. I specifically asked for the fluids to be inspected, and the shop later admitted they noticed discolored power steering fluid but chose not to mention it. Had they done so, I would have serviced the system before the event. I've included photos of the power steering fluid taken after the failure and during the repair. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop if you're relying on them to prepare your car for a track event.

From reading all of the other 1- star reviews and the responses from the owner Keith, you can see a…read morecommon trend on how he reacts and what his business ethics are. I can't talk about everyone else's experience other than my own. First off, I understand that my car and its condition was not the easiest to work with (probably an understatement). I have had work done here previously and everything for the most part was great. I think the common theme of the shop being money hungry and misdiagnosing issues is also accurate in my situation. The timing was done on my car as well as the camshafts. The work was done but had to go back for a myriad of other issues that "randomly happened" after it was put back together. Missing carbon fiber insert, AC not working properly, car shutting off randomly, etc. the first diagnosis was that I needed to replace THE ENTIRE MOTOR. (laughable) and then once that was rejected, they went down the rabbit hole of throwing parts at it and seeing what stuck instead of doing a proper diagnosis. We all know that Keith will then push the blame and come up with something showing that it was actually the customer's fault and your car is the problem and not the shop blah blah blah. I will say though that John and Kurt (previous tech) are great people. Unfortunately, Keith happens to be a blemish and a callus in the VW/ Audi community. There are far more knowledgeable mechanics in the area and in NH. If you need an oil change or your tires rotated, I am sure they will do great. If you need anything that requires any type of thought process, go elsewhere. P.S. The car was properly diagnosed and the issues were fixed correctly by another shop and now running how it should. Now it will be Keith's turn to come up with something incorrect that sways things his direction. What a hack.

So, I did. We had a long discussion, during which Farooq asked all the right detailed questions, so that he had a clear idea of what I wanted, and what I didn't want. To me, this is an extremely important step to ensure that everybody is on the same page for what was going to be done, with no surprises at the end. During the project, Farooq and his team kept me updated on their progress, including sending me a large number of in-process photos depicting each step in the process. When the project was complete, I had exactly what I wanted. Farooq and his team are extremely experienced professionals in the work that they perform. I will say, however, if you are looking for a 'deal' or 'discounted' work, then Go Auto is not for you. Top quality work costs money, so if you are looking for top quality work, then you need to be prepared to pay for it. I wholeheartedly recommend Go Auto for folks who are interested in installing performance mods on their vehicles.
