I guess that my parents had many expierences with the Father and they were all positive ones so they told me to go there. I was there before they opened and was disappointingly faced with his son who not only seemed to blantenly feel women could never understand anything regarding the overwheming innerworkings of a car, but repeatedly told me that I did not want the work done I was asking him to do. I told him I was well aware the work was worth more then the car and it was an uneducated decision but it was my only choice, to have him answer back " so basically you want me to check every part on your car to see if it needs repair or replacement. We spent close to 3000 and he put on the receipt he replaced the drive shaft. The routers, the axle, The list is just wrong. I wish I was there because I know to ask to see the parts taken out. Unfortunetly my mother paid for all that when it was clear to the naked eye half of those parts weren't touched The son is rude to women and treated and talked to me like I was foreign. I felt disrespect and definitely ripped off

It was a great service. Prices are very affordable. Quick, caring and honest service. I had an oil change and brake service. They were very honest about the price and service. I suggest everyone to go and visit this shop.

Orlando has been my moms trusted mechanic for 20 years and has now been mine for 2 years. He and his crew are so nice & they always do a great job fixing my problematic vehicle. 5 stars to orlandos trusted mechanics.

Friendly people and generous service. If you plan to go on a long drive in an old car, stop in and ask for an inspection - Orlando will check the fluids, under the hood and tire pressure. He won't take your money for this, either. It's only if you need service - then they give you an estimate.

This place is always on point! JD has worked on my truck a couple times, also some family members cars. Fair prices and good work! When I don't have time to do maintenance myself this is the only place I take my car.

It's refreshing to have honest mechanics explain everything to me in simple terms and fix my car right and at a reasonable price. They are friendly, polite, and all around great guys. I will ONLY be bringing my car here from now on!

This guy is 100% totally honest! I've used him now for five different times over the past two or three years and every single time he's giving me a great quote. Many times he tells me I don't need to do the work that I was told by another mechanic or he fixes the same problem for a much less money! Him and his sons run the shop and they're both fantastic. If you want an honest mechanic these are the guys to go to!

Called concerning an oil pressure light I had with my Chevy impala, Rick had me in and out within 3 hours with a new oil sensor/switch! They also balanced my tires which was a huge plus so big thanks to the guys at Lakewood 76 for the amazing service. Will be back!

Great work, honest, fast and friendly. Recently car had a small oil leak. Took it to this 76 and Rick the owner was able to take a look at my car. He recommended an oil change since it was due and the oil was low. Turns out, the previous place I took my car to for an oil change almost stripped the oil plug and didn't replace the gasket. They showed me where it was leaking from and were able to fix the issue. In and out in under 20 minutes. HIGHLY Recommend this place for all auto repair.

Literally the best prices I’ve ever had. Honest mechanics! I’ve never experienced any of them trying to upsell further work either. I only trust these guys and will refer anyone I know to them, so if you’re reading this review trying to decide on whether or not to go here or not… go.

I arrived to this location 15 minutes before closing, panicked about an abrupt misfire issue affecting the performance of my car. Instead of turning me away, the kind mechanics took the time to diagnose and help me out in a moment of stress. A special shout out to the mechanic (I didn’t get his name but he has gauges) who waited over an hour after for the right part to get delivered and ensure the issue was resolved. Much appreciated!!!

I am very disappointed in the service I received from this shop. I paid Lakewood 76 Auto Repair $89 for an oil change on August 18, 2025, but based on what happened afterward, it appears the oil change may not have been done at all. On November 5, 2025, my car suddenly displayed a P1009 engine code, so I took it to a different shop for diagnosis. The technician there was immediately surprised when he checked my oil. He told me the oil was extremely black, dirty, and low, and said it did not look like it had been changed recently, if at all. The dirty oil caused damage to my VVT solenoid, which now had to be replaced. I was charged $525 to correct the issue that occurred as a result of what appears to be a lack of proper oil service at Lakewood 76. I have photos of my oil dipstick showing how dark the oil was, as well as the invoice from the repair shop who wrote detailed comments on the condition of my oil and the damage it caused. There were no oil leaks, and I drive my car regularly with proper maintenance intervals, so there is no reason my oil should have been that dirty after less than 3 months with normal driving use. I trusted this shop to do a basic oil change, and that trust was broken. Because of this experience and the unnecessary expense it caused me, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this shop to others.
