They lost my Key Fob and 3 of them were out there trying to pry my doors open to get in my truck that they locked themselves out of and could have used the fob that they lost! The key that I bought and paid for is broke and will not stay on my key ring.. brand new key for my new ignition they didn t put my steering column back together right it s still apart and can stick 2 fingers in it! The horn and buttons on my steering wheel do not work and still not sure what else doesn t work! Telling me they want it for another day and a half after having it for a full week already!! $1700 I paid for it not to be done right at all!! The tech that did this shouldn t be working there and I should get some money back! Shouldn t have to pay $1700 for something that wasn t done right the first time and I have to bring back to have fixed right! Not a good experience at all and hope that when it comes time to make this right they DO!Services: Electrical repair, Steering & suspension repair

Took my good condition 87 Silverado 4x4 in for a electrical problem. Another shop couldn't find the problem and stuck a 30 amp fuse in a 10 amp spot just to get it to run but didn't tell me. Jace was able to trace it to a faulty part in short order. Truck runs good again. I would definitely recommend Lakewood for any electrical problems.Service: Electrical repair

These guys are simply the greatest at what they do! They were so kind and so professional. I called today and they were able to get me in ASAP to fix the issues I was having with what turned out to be all of my lights on my Ford Escape (an electrical nightmare it seemed). Two and a half hours later all of their work was done and I got to drive away in confidence that my car was fixed. I highly recommend this business to anyone having electrical issues with their vehicle and I m very surprised to see so many not so great reviews. Great customer service and very affordable prices!!

Avoid. Paid $1500+ to have repair done. Left shop only to have lights turn on, on the dashboard. Turned around and took it right back to the shop after pick up and was told my ABS module was bad after they hyped up how great their diagnostic scanner was. After having a second opinion it turned out that they crossed up wires, along with some wires not even fully connected and the cmu couldn't communicate with it. Had other shop make repairs cause why would I have lakewood auto electric fix it when clearly they misdiagnosis it the first time. Reached out about getting refunded, provided documentation of other repairs to prove their work was not done correctly. Been rude, unprofessional, hung up on, horrible customer service and owner refuses to talk to me and has refused to refund me.Service: Electrical

I've been to Lakewood Auto Electric twice this year and had a great experience both times. The staff is always helpful, friendly, and responsive. The first reason I went in was for a parasitic drain on my battery that I had brought to several other mechanics and nobody else was able to figure it out. Lakewood Auto Electric properly diagnosed and fixed it same day. I came back because the negative battery terminal wire was bad, which they quickly diagnosed and replaced. They also used my battery warranty to get me a new battery from AutoZone and replaced it for me for free. They went above and beyond for me each time and I was always met with professionalism. Especially when it comes to electrical issues, I highly recommend.Services: Electrical repair, Electrical, Battery

The owner indirectly refused my business. When I told him I was referred to him by another company and he looked at me and looked away I thought something was weird. Then, instead of taking my information and starting a ticket he asked me questions like what state did the car come from and if I limped it to his shop and if I know what limp means. I entertained him for a bit to see where this was going but when I realized it was nowhere I asked him the question, why keep asking me questions if you have no intentions on working on my vehicle to which he said good luck as I walked out the door. Needless to say my vehicle is at another auto electric shop and so far they ve offered basic decencies such as common courtesy and appreciation for my business. I ll let you all know how it goes once the work is complete but I Do NOT!!! recommend coming to this place.

Attempted to take my car here a few weeks back and I'm extremely glad I didn't. I had three systems go out on my car at the exact same time showing they are probably connected somewhere. Asked a relative who restores cars for fun and he informed me that those systems are all connected to a fuse in the dashboards fuse box. After telling the guy at the counter the systems that went out he proceeded to tell me those systems aren't connected anywhere and I'd have to pay three separate diagnostic fees to have them looked at. After informing him that i know they are connected he rolled his eyes and scoffed claiming again they are not connected. Just got my car back from a dealership mechanic who listened to what I had to say and checked those fuses first. It was indeed a fuse that came loose from that very fuse box. To conclude the people at Lakewood auto electric are both arrogant and ignorant. Don't waste your money letting them guess and check randomly on your car.

Highly recommend if you want it done right go their first!!

Back in 2010 I took my mustang here to get the gremlins out. They were extremely helpful and looked over my car and told me everything that was wrong and needed repair. They did a wonderful job the 1st time.Since I was pleased the 1st time, I took my car in to them to see if they could pinpoint why my battery was being drained so quickly, (same car years later maybe 2015)was told I had to pay over $100 just to diagnose the problem!! Who has $100+ an hour to give these ripoffs? I don't even make that much per day!! Never going back!

I had an electrical wiring problem with radio in my Jeep. Took to another shop who said they fixed it, but didn't. Then took to Lakewood Auto Electric. They got me right in, after inspection told me exactly what it would cost, and then completed when promised. Very satisfied.

Jace and Briant are amazing. I took my car to Firestone and had to take it back to them 3 different times and the problem still wasn t fixed. I was referred to these gentlemen who were able to diagnose the issue straight away. It seems absurd to me that anyone could have a bad experience here. I realize it s hard in this industry because most of the time only mad people take the time to write reviews, but for every bad review is 100 good ones that didn t get written, and truly these two were the kindest most professional and patient people that I ve encountered in a long time. They took the time to explain exactly (and I mean in great detail) what was wrong, which was appreciated. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.

This place is all about the details! Had an electrical issue with my truck, they took their time and made sure to get it right. Didn't charge for a bunch of unnecessary items like most places...I highly recommend!!

I brought my truck in with no tail lights, it left in working condition. As far as the hourly rate of 125 per hour and the claim of 4 hours to fix the problem, it seems somewhat high, but I certainly could not have fixed it myself and was not there to witness the work so I can only say that they did what they had told me they would. Nice enough. Nobody is ever going to be in the best place when talking about a 500 dollar repair bill.

Took my sons car to them and asked them to check a tail light circuit that blew a fuse after a radio was installed. They came back with a $850 quote to fix , said it had a power distribution issue and a short in the wiring. (They gave me a written statement of these problems) This fix did not sound correct (sounded like a scam) so I did not authorize a repair.I unplugged the radio, put a new fuse in the tail light spot and Shazam!, the tail lights worked, and it did not blow the fuse.Soooo! There was no power distribution issue, and no short without the radio plugged in, we will be taking it back to the radio installer to correct the mis- wired radio.This place is a Scam! It is apparent that they did not even do this simple test of checking the circuits with the radio unplugged, as we told them the issue started after the radio was installed.Since this experience, I learned though a friend, a Nissan master mechanic of 25 plus years, who worked at the Nissan dealership located right next to Lakewood auto electric, that this type of pricing and scam work was common knowledge to him for the last 8 years or so.He repaired a Maxima that they had worked on, Cost of the repair, to the customer was $300 at the dealership, Lakewood Auto Electric had quoted 4 to 5 thousand to replace the rear half of the wiring harness to correct the issue.Update, 1-7-20 after best buy looked at the radio, they found 3 problems with their radio installation, fixed all of them for free, due to installation warranty. Dash lights now work, their wiring of the radio was the cause of the dash circuit fuse blowing.

I had issues with two separate vehicles (Saturn and an RV) that no mechanic could figure out but Bryant was able to get both up and running. Very happy with the service and results! 5 stars for being able to do what a normal mechanic couldn't do and being amazing during the process.

AVOID THIS PLACE!!! Paid $1500 for them to fix the problem on my truck. Said it was the alarm and that will take it off for another $1000, but I had warranty on it. Then got the alarm taken off but problem remained. They brag about their computers that can fix every problem, but they just scamming people.

Never go to this shop. One of the worst shop I have ever been to. They charge me more than $200 for doing nothing except hook up the car to the computer and tell me why the check engine is one. They first charge me for 2h* $130/h, then change it to 1.5 h. This is very simple to do with a computer reading tool. Their business will disappear soon.

I went in a few weeks ago with my sons 87 Bronco, The wiring harness is fried beyond repair. Allee was very nice, told me the procedure to replace the harness under the dash, gave me an estimate and a time frame. Unfortunlately the cost was a litte too much for an old truck and we'll try it ourselves. With the pointers Allee gave we might get through the repair.Thank you for the professionalism and honesty.

Totally disrespectful guy! Don t go there. I was trying to explain my car problem to decide towing it or not. He said that if I was concerned about 100 dollars for towing, I was poor enough to be capable to pay him. He also shout that he is much more expensive than car dealership in a way to get me out of his place. Show this guy some manners by not dealing with him at all.

I'm pleased with the efficiency of the business and personalbility of the staff. There is still some unforseen issues, yet was welcomed and encouraged to bring my vehicle back to address and rectify said problems. I recommend this facility.

They seem very knowledgeable the girl alee should be fired for how rude she is I would have paid the 1000$ if she wasn t so rude she blew up when I asked to explain what the issue was. The owner Briant on the other hand was a very nice guy. An was straight forward and explained everything great and helped a lot.

Best place to get electric done in all of Denver if you ask me. The staff was extremely knowledgeable. We were on our way to a vacation and had got no more than 5 mins down the road when everything went haywire. If it wasn't for the owner going well out of his way and above and beyond to help us our vacation would have been lost. Thank you to everyone that helped us at Lakewood Electric, we really appreciated it!!!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO LAKEWOOD AUTO ELECTRIC FOR ELECTRICAL REPAIR!LAE worked on my Toyota 4Runner electric door locking mechanism twice and turned an electrical malfunction annoyance into an electrical DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD by their FAULTY and UNPROFESSIONAL work; whereby the electric door locks will not allow entry into or exit from the vehicle by normal activation of the door locking mechanism either by key, remote or manual operation from inside the vehicle. At $125/hour labor rate and 4 to 5 hours minimum diagnosis charge and holding my vehicle twice for a total of 5 days, their work was FAULTY, pathetic, sloppy by leaving tools and debris in the vehicle, incorrectly remounting the driver interrior panel and lying about the original condition of the vehicle. I would have been better off just leaving the original issue alone!

We were referred to this business for electrical repairs. On our first call, all sounded positive. However, arrived to drop off and was treated horribly by the owner, Brian. Was told to take our vehicle and threw the keys on a counter; we had questioned the time needed for repairs, as it differed from a previous call about our issue.

I don't trust these people and I feel like they were way overpriced they said they were going to do one thing and they did another I do not recommend this place. It has only been 8 hours since I picked my vehicle up from Lakewood Auto Electric so I still have to see if it's going to run properly in the coming weeks.

I made an appointment to have my Chevy Trailblazer due to the headlights suddenly going inop. I was told by the young lady on the phone to expect an $1100 bill and to leave the car for two days.. I also was told that they have done 7 other trailblazers recently with the same problem.I fixed it my self with a $31 relay from auto zone.This outfit should be reported to the State Attorney General

Brain was great at what he does, great service too. I came to him wanting to do a modification on my jeep, every place I talked to said it could not be done but brain even though he was skeptical believed that it was possible and so now I have audio controls on my steering wheel ;)
