I had the transfer case on my BMW X replaced as well as some routine service completed. Price was fair and the vehicle performs like new. Well done.

Very professional and friendly! One of the only auto repair companies that has loaner cars available other than car dealerships! We only have one vehicle so this was a real lifesaver!! They also did a great job of repairing our crew cab dually. We will definitely use them again!

I had been having issues with my car and suspected it was a battery issue. Thankfully Tim told me to bring my car in and his team could take a look at it. I loved the text messages that gave me status updates and quotes - I'd never seen that before. When it was done, Tim called me and talked me through each of their findings and told me which were imperative and which they could do over time. I was super impressed with the speed of things and I literally was in and out in one day, new battery installed, and nobody tried to upsell me. Thanks for taking care of me!

Brought my 96' OBS Ford in for a new ignition actuator after diagnosing it myself. I knew I didn't have the tools, time, or confidence to address the repair on my own so I called these guys to help me out. They were extremely prompt, professional, and they never tried to sell me anything I didn't need/want. I plan on bringing ALL of my vehicles here for the foreseeable future! Thanks for all of the help! I am beyond grateful!!

Amazing service, always ready to help out in every way they can! Replaced the door lock actuator, I was worried about vibration in the door around the speaker, so they took a look at it, replaced some old wires to make sure everything was in its best condition and the whole double check was completely free. I have a very wide lifted 2500 and 14 inch wide tires, and they have no issues whatsoever! Highly recommend, especially for those with built trucks!

In the last month there has been 2 vehicles needing work, mine and my boss. I bring the vehicle in, they do there diagnostic test. The vehicles are no longer able to drive, unless someone pays the shop thousands of dollars. This place totaled my SUV and told me that they didn't do a complete assament before the took the vehicle apart, causing my vehicle to no longer be able to drive. Then said if I don't pay, I had just a few days to get it off there property. Same things happened with my boss. Exactly the same

Love this shop and their people. What started out as a car I picked up at a "junk" auction to a completely restored Pontiac (which you cannot buy anymore) this group was there every step of the way showing my car love and dedication. What more could anyone want. They now service all 3 of my cars, and my Pontiac is exclusive to Lake City. Thanks for upkeeping our daily driver's and helping me restore my first "dad's car." Robert and Angela are the best, they even helped with referrals. And thanks to the owner Ben Pricket for having my back and assisting on the weekend. 3/8/24, thank you for the great spring service. Car is ready for another summer driving season. Lake City practically restored this car and maintains it very well. They know me by name too.

5 Stars – Highly Recommend Tim! Tim at Lake City Auto Care was fantastic to work with! He was honest, easygoing, and never pushy, which made the whole experience stress-free. I brought my car in for an exhaust manifold leak repair, and everything—from the competitive pricing to the quick turnaround—was top-notch. I had my car back the same day, which was a huge plus. They also performed a comprehensive inspection and provided a list of recommended maintenance items. What I appreciated most was how they gave realistic priorities without trying to upsell me on unnecessary work. Tim’s communication was excellent, and I always got quick responses. If you're looking for a trustworthy and efficient auto repair experience, Tim is your guy!

Tim and everyone at Lake City Auto in Hayden far exceeded any experience I have ever had with a shop. My days of making due with dealerships and their nonsense are over. My forever shop is now Lake City Auto! They did what they said they would do, gave me a timeframe, and had parts ordered immediately after diagnostics! I could not be any happier with my experience and know you won't either if you choose Lake City Auto.

The Best Auto Repair Experience in Years – Hands Down! I’ve worked in and managed repair shops and car dealerships for years, so I’ve seen it all—good, bad, and everything in between. That’s why I can say with total confidence that Lake City Auto Repair, is hands-down the best service I’ve experienced in a long time. From the moment I texted in, their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for customers blew me away. I told them what I needed, even added a couple special requests, and they accommodated all the above. No upselling, no nonsense, just honest, skilled service. Having run shops myself, I know how rare that level of integrity is these days. The shop’s clean, the staff’s friendly, and their attention to detail is unmatched. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows in the results. Whether you’re a car guy like me or just need a reliable fix, Lake City Auto Repair is the gold standard. I’ll be sending everyone I know their way—best in North Idaho, no question!

They've had very good quality service the last 10 years I've been getting service through them. Their inspection service helps you identify which problems you need addressed better than others I've been to and they can help you prioritize if it is something critical or something you need to keep an eye on and it comes free with every oil change. They recently did some major high mile maintenance on my 04 F150 and now it rides like a new truck and on top of that they were able to get my instrument cluster repaired so hoping to push this vehicle over the 250k mark. Would highly recommend their services. At the very least check them out for their oil change with complete inspection and you will probably be surprised how thorough they are.

Last year we had Lake City auto replaced the body mounts and my Ford F3.50 they were less expensive than other auto repair places and they did an excellent job. Customer service was a plus. this year they fixed the upper oil pan gasket, which is an extensive job and did an excellent job .

Had damage to my radiator (2009 Acura MDX) and didn’t want to do the job my self, … it’s time consuming. Called Lake City and they said they’ll could take the car right away. I brought it in and a day and a half later, it was ready. The guys at the front were super friendly (namely Joe) and (Cary) the mechanic did a great job. Quick friendly service and I’d highly recommend them. For anything I don’t have the time or skills to do, Lake City will be my shop.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Lake City Auto since 2012. Fixed right the first time, every time. Excellent service, very honest, quick and all at a very fair price. Joe was able to give me a few options for the Trans in my 95 ram. Now it's running great. Thanks again to Lake City and their great staff.

The crew and Lake City Auto Care are getting a 5 Star review from me because they took care of my 78' Suburban, which needed quite a bit of tlc. The whole experience was most pleasant. Not too many shops will work on older vehicles, but they did. And gladly. Joe, Tom, and Jim are top notch. Thank you for displaying integrity, and delivering the goods in a reasonably priced and timely mannner, on a vehicle most shops would turn away. I will definitley be giving them more of my business.

My truck gave me a 5 mile/hr max in xx miles warning for DEF Service required. I live an hour away so bringing it in was a one way trip unless they got it fixed. They got my truck in as quick as possible and gave me a free loaner car. They got it diagnosed and parts on the way 1st day. By the end of the next day I had the truck back and running well. Everyone was kind and courteous and made sure I understood the problems and what they had to do to repair them, and how much it would cost. I appreciate their professionalism and would recommend this shop to my friends.
