After 400,000 miles Lakeview put on a new motor mount, wheel bearings, control arms, and front struts. Now, 10,000 miles later my van runs Perfect and all this more than $3000 less that the dealership quote for the same work!!!

We went in for a transmission issue on a Ford escape. We ve been towing it on a vacation and burned our transmission up. The mechanic was very honest and straightforward. We appreciated his information and was able to make a great decision on what to do on our car. Thank you very much great service.Services: Transmission, General repairs & maintenanceServices: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance

Brought in my Jeep Patriot for a sever brake issue. Did a complete inspection to let me know if anything else was wrong (with pictures) but didn't pressure me at all to get any of it done! Very friendly and approachable. I didn't even have to be there when I got the Jeep towed to the shop and they even picked me up when it was done! They got two locations so very convenient!

Lakeview is awesome. I can always count on them to do quality, honest, fair priced work. I will only take my car to them. They are always great and friendly. I trust them 100% which is rare to find. Thank you again Lakeview. Oh and to correct a previous review, Nick is still there,

Took my Prius to a dealership where they told me I had a leaky fuel hose which required the entire gas assembly to be replaced. Called Lakeview (where I have taken my Ram 2500 several times) to see if they could help. They worked to find they hose that needed to be replaced (from Canada!), ordered the part and had it ready for pickup in less than a week at less than half the cost of the dealership. I can't say enough about how nice and helpful everyone at Lakeview was throughout the entire process. I began taking my truck here as a recommendation from a close family friend and I will not hesitate to recommend Lakeview to anyone who needs car repairs!

Our family has been taking our vehicles here for years. Jaime is an absolutely wonderful mechanic. I've recommended this shop to a number of people and everyone has been extremely pleased. Nick is always helpful and as honest as they come. I don't ever see a reason to go anywhere else!!

I was a customer of this company when "Nick" worked there, as were my daughter and niece. I took my husband's truck in to have the air conditioning diagnosed and have the window fixed. I dropped it off on Thursday and never heard from them again. I called Friday morning to and Cassie told me they were diagnosing it and would call me in 1 to 2 hours. She never did. I finally called at 2 and she said it would be $808 to fix the 3 things they found wrong. That included a diagnostic fee of $56.50, which they don't waive if you have them fix it. I decided to pick my truck up after calling around and finding out they are WAY overpriced. I arrived to pick up my truck and it was still hooked to the air conditioning testing unit. When I paid, I found out that they charge $56.50 PER ITEM DIAGNOSED. Cassie told me there were no leaks in the system. I paid my $113 and couldn't take the truck because they had to finish putting my Freon back in. I said I'd come back in 30 minutes as my ride needed to leave. I went home and got my daughter and returned about 40 minutes later and my truck was gone. The Mexican guy in the shop informed me that Cassie, the receptionist, was driving it. He laughed and said she needed to take it to their other shop because something wasn't working on their air conditioning machine. I waited about 10 minutes and she finally came back with my truck and guess what she told me...there is now leak in my air conditioning system and they were unable to put my Freon back in. So now it's got a leak AFTER I was told no leaks and after I had already paid and told them not to do any work on it. I will never take my car here and I will tell anyone who will listen how shady this shop is. I'm also going to file a complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repair.Don't let their old 5 star reviews fool you. Nick is never here anymore and the people he's left in charge have ruined a good shop that used to have a good reputation .

This place is awesome with honest prices!! Nick has two shops in Lake Elsinore... Lakeview and Marlar s Auto & Diesel both places do fantastic work. I been bringing my 4 cars at both places for 8 years for repairs and not once I have ever experienced a problem. Thank you Nick and employees for the perfect work you guys do.

You get what you pay for,and I would not recommend this place.Took my Audi there. $300 later and told me my head needed rebuild. Ask how much and was told $2400. Figured if I was going to spend that kind of money, I better take to Audi dealer. Took to Audi in Temecula. Was not cylinder head. Was timing chain , and bad lifter. Total cost at Audi was $2100 ,and this included brake fluid replacement.If all you need is a tune-up , go ahead and take your chance at this place.Oh ,and while my Audi was being serviced I drove their 2020 loner car for 10 days.

If you have a problem, Nick will go above and beyond to take care of you and fix any problems you have with your vehicle in such a professional and understanding manner. I am so thankful how smoothly everything went and how well I was taken care of. I Would recommend Lakeview auto. You can trust that whatever you need done, will get done. Not only was everything done professionally, but also quickly and efficiently. Thank you again so much!

I took my car there because it was leaking gas,before they would even look at it I had to pay them 125 dollars. So I did & all they told me is that it has a gas leak & wanted 500 dollars to fix it. Well my husband & I fixed it & it cost in parts 60 dollars. They still wouldn't tell me the leak was. I wouldn't advise them to anyone.

I have been taking two vehicles, a '98 Toyota 4Runner and an '01 Saab 95 to these guys for more than 5 years. I am extremely pleased with their service and integrity. I have regular maintenance done on my vehicles and always tell them that if anything else needs attention, please fix it. I am basically giving them Carte Blanc to pad the bill and they never do. At most they have replaced a air/fuel filter or a worn hose. I heartily recommend this repair facility.To the unidentified person who claims their air filter was not replaced must be mistaken. Lakeview Auto does NOT do smog checks. The business next door does smog. I have also used their services and have been completely satisfied.

Wonderful experience. My car had an annoying clanking noise from the front end. I thought it was the tranny but Lakeview determined it to be a rock in the brake caliper. Others would of gouged me but Nick was honest. About $60 and my car was on the road.

I pulled in not knowing what was wrong, car had a couple Red lights flashing, I had almost fried a valve, tensioner pully and belt had to be replaced, they went right to work on my Buick and I was happily on my way 1 1/2 hours later, great employees and a very nice staff of mechanics, I highly recommend this shop
