I had a fantastic experience at this auto repair shop. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and clearly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain what was wrong with my car in simple terms, provided a fair and transparent estimate, and never tried to upsell unnecessary services. The work itself was excellent — my car runs smoother than it has in years, and they finished the job earlier than expected. What really stood out was their honesty and attention to detail; they even checked a few minor things free of charge just to make sure I’d be safe on the road. It’s rare to find a repair shop that you can truly trust, but this one has earned my loyalty. I’ll definitely be coming back for all future maintenance and repairs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and skilled auto service!

They guys at Lake Forest Auto care, from the top, Alex the owner, to the mangers, Mani, are the most incompetent mechanics I have ever worked with. Took them two cars, one to r r engine and second r r trans. As it turns out, they never, never told me at the begining when they took my cars in that they do not have the high end scanners that it takes to relearn the replaced engine and trans, so not only they are ignorant of how to reset parts replaced, but they DO NOT HAVE the right computers. So they told me I have to tow my cars to a place that performs the resetting function. And spend another hundred may be thousands to reset the parts place. This the most stupid way of providing repair service I have seen in 50 years of dealing with mechanics. They failed to disclose this important fact to me and purposely decided me. Also some of the way they repair cars is faulty and their repair could cause life threatening accidents. I WILL NEVER AGAIN RETURN TO LAKE FIREST AUTO CAR,mechanic shop and strongly suggest YOU DONT EITHER.

I am very pleased with this establishment! Unlike many mechanic shops, they are known for their fair pricing. They are also willing to accommodate your budget if necessary. I highly recommend this place for any automotive issues or enhancements.

I’ve been taking my car to Lake Forest Auto Care for regular maintenance like oil changes, and they’ve always been reliable and professional. Recently, the cover under my car broke — they fixed it within two hours. Today, I had an issue with my brakes, and once again, they repaired it the same day. Their prices are fair, and their service is fast and honest. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trustworthy auto shop!

This is a great place to get work done on your car! Manny is great! I got lowering springs, exhaust, oil, and cool and flush done and it was fast and a fair price. Manny explained everything to me in detail. Front struts were going out and he got the parts really fast!

this shop take advantage of people who doesn't know cars. took my car in for simple rear brake job, was told both front brake, front rotor, rear rotor were also bad. i declined the service and only agree to have rear brake changed. next day, took my car to a different shop for brake inspection, was told front brakes are good. total scammers at this place. avoid this place.

I love this place. They are always so nice, timely, and honest. It’s so nice to have a good mechanic since I’m more new to the area. Would recommend them to anyone.

Unfortunately, I cannot leave a positive review for this shop. I arrived with a car that wouldn’t start due to a depleted battery, accompanied by my family, and decided to get the battery replaced. I called ahead to confirm they had my specific battery in stock and could change it out quickly. They assured me it would be quick and straightforward. However, after waiting 45 minutes, I inquired at the front desk, only to discover they didn’t even have the battery in stock and had to order it from AutoZone—something nobody bothered to inform me about. This blatant lack of communication was both dishonest and unprofessional. Had they been upfront, I could have gone elsewhere and likely saved time and money. To make matters worse, a young employee bringing my car from the garage to the front drove it straight over a curb, scraping the underside of my bumper. This level of carelessness is completely unacceptable. The service here is not only slow and unreliable but outright deceptive. I would strongly advise against bringing your car to this shop. If you value your time, money, and vehicle, look elsewhere.

My 2018 Kia Optima Hybrid needed a gas recharge because the AC wasn’t blowing cold anymore. Manny (hope I spelled that right) was awesome from start to finish—super helpful on the first call, figured out the issue, recharged the system, and even checked back a week later to make sure everything was working right and there were no leaks. Great service, fair prices. Definitely satisfied. Thanks!

The guys here are great they were very transparent about everything and they didn’t try to charge me extra for any add on charges other then what I came in for which was new brake pads. Pretty quick service for a Sunday morning no appointment and only 2 workers 10/10 would recommend. Also great prices compared to other mechanic shops in the area.

First time coming to Lake Forest Auto Care and I felt instantly welcome when I walked in. The man at the front desk was welcoming and friendly. I went in for an oil change and I will say that it took longer than what I’m used to for an oil change, but they made sure to check all the important things and put a movie on for me while I waited in the lobby area. They made a list of suggested services for proper care and maintenance on my car but I didn’t feel like they were trying to force any extra services on me. Over all, it was a good experience and I plan to come back for more maintenance soon.

I’ve taken my car here a few times now. Both times I had A LOT of work done, and both times I’ve left a happy camper. I like this place for many reasons. They do good work. The price is fair, and they often have loaner cars which is a HUGE LIFE SAVER! I definitely recommend coming here. The last time I came they even let me borrow a charger for my phone. Really good customer service if you ask me. 💛

Good auto shop. I mentioned over the phone that I had seen a coupon for brakes on their website, and they honored it. I asked if I needed to print anything out and they told me to just mention it at the desk.
