Since 2005 or so, I have had a good amount of work done on three cars and one pickup truck at Uncle…read moreRod's. This work has been a mix of maintenance, repair, and special/custom/upgrade work. Twice, they've inspected cars and brought them up to appropriate condition for me to make cross-country road trips. They repair what needs fixing, they advise what will soon or eventually need fixing and what makes sense to do all in one go (e.g., to avoid double-spending by doing a group of repairs that all require the same first ten labor steps, if one such repair needs doing right now and the others are soon to follow). By default they use quality parts and supplies, and their shop rate is entirely reasonable especially for the high quality of work. I'm a car geek, and I am very picky and particular about the work done on my cars and the parts and materials used. That can be a real pain in the (lug)nuts for shop and customer alike, but Mark, the service writer, does a terrific and friendly job of keeping everyone happy on both sides of the counter: he gets the parts and supplies I want, or lets me supply them if they're difficult to find, or on the occasion there's some reason I'm not aware of that my choice isn't a good one, he explains and suggests alternatives. As the diagnosis and repair proceeds, he keeps me well informed and promptly asks me whenever there's a decision that needs my input. And he keeps the techs happy by keeping the picky customer (me) out of their hair so they can get the work done. Rod, the owner, is personable and friendly. There is an air of competence about the shop that comes, I think, from the fact that the whole staff work hard and thoughtfully to do each part of every job carefully, correctly, and efficiently. I appreciate that. Also, they'll work on practically anything that has an engine, as long as it can be brought to the shop. Cars (new and old, common and and unusual), trucks (big and little), boats, I've even seen 'em get ailing roto-tillers back into action. Highly recommended.

If you've never experienced out-of-warranty service before, it is far different than 'dealer service.' So many weird little (and big) things crop up that rarely do within the first 3-years of a cars life. The typical dealership will replace every part they can -- at full list price. Lakeside actually provides sound advice as to what 'must' be replaced versus what can wait a bit longer. They also have far better rates than any other shop or dealership I've found. They've never given me bad advice and have always done great work. I rarely post reviews because most businesses are mediocre. Lakeside is truly among the best. If you really like your car, there is no better place in the area to get it serviced.

I dropped it off on Friday and got it back Wednesday, and as it turned out, one of the fasteners had rusted through so it only cost me $100 instead of the $500+ he had first quoted. So that was a relief, though I'm not sure why it took four days (not counting the weekend) to fix it. Still, I'm very happy with the quality of the work and information regarding what to do if my car overheats again.

The State Park Ranger recommended John at JPM Auto. I called John, described what I needed, he called his parts supplier and ordered the parts. I dropped the truck off the next day expecting to be without my vehicle for a few days. About two hours later, John called to say the job was done and I could pick it up! I went in the following day to pick up my truck and pay the bill. The price was very fair. Actually so fair I'd have all my vehicles serviced there if JPM Auto wasn't 6 hours from my home. Great people, honest pricing and quick service. Don't hesitate to visit JPM Auto if you need your vehicle serviced, they are spectacular!
