I have the worst luck with car repairs and dreaded it when we broke down on the hwy Thanksgiving evening at 11pm. I knew it was serious and sure enough, we were facing a major overhaul and value repairs. Still, the kind people at Lakewood offered to work with us financially; to store the car at no charge until we could afford to pay them. They were so understanding and helpful. To my surprise, Lakewood called to say... view more the damage wasn`t nearly as bad and said it would only cost about half their original estimate. Thanks to their honesty, integrity and diligent work, we`re able to have a Christmas this year. I`m so very grateful to the wonderful people at Lakewood Auto for all their efforts! *Update July 2012 - We`ve used Lakewood twice more and again have been very pleased. I`m on their email list as it`s a good reminder about routine mntc + takes advantage of deals like $29 for AC svc which is a bargain! Note: There`s criticism from ppl who think they`ve been cheated after getting a $150-200 price, then the actual repairs are way more. That initial price is for *computer diagnostics only* and ALL shops do this. If you get the car fixed, the diagnosis is included. But if not or you take it elsewhere, repair shops must charge for researching the car`s engine trouble... how else could they afford those expensive automotive computers?

I drove my car in but had to two it out. They said the timing belt went out while they were working on it. The price of repair went from $179 for a tune up to $1,100 for major motor repair. They would not knowledge it was their fault. How did I know their mechanic did not destroy my motor. I wish I had the time and money to sue them. When I questioned them about it they said I had a bad attitude. My theory is ... view morethat the mechanic did not set the belt pullies correct, there was too much stress on the belt, it broke and bent the values. The timing belt had been replaced about a year before that. Do not risk your car with these crooks.

Let me just first say that I am on a tight budget this year so I called around to almost 15 different auto shops for a state inspection price quote. Everywhere I called charged $39.95 and most closed by 5pm. Lakewood Automotive quoted me $29.95 and said they would stay open until I got there, which was right after their posted store hours. I was in and out within 15 minutes. I highly recommend this place! Who`s not l... view moreooking to save money and time??

My car broke down and a friend recommeded that I have the mechanics at Lakewood Automotive take a look to see why my car didn`t start. When I arrived within seconds I received some of the fastest service. The mechanics did take the time to explain what the problem was and the pricing was very reasonable. I`m glad that my friend recommended this repair shop and don`t know how much more i would have spent at the dea... view morelership and wait a long time to get my car back. By the end of day I was up and running.

Honest mechanics are priceless! These guys spent time with me and explained what needed to be fixed (water pump) and they did it for a reasonable price. If you live or work in East Dallas, the guys at Lakewood are worth talking to about any auto repair needs you have.
