honestly, I never had somebody have such a bad attitude before when I'm offering any type of money. I knew the problem I had. I asked the guy how much it would be and for some reason he was highly annoyed with me just by asking how much I should bring for that problem because I already got a diagnosed and knew what it was. It was a simple fact of how ignorant of a tone this man had. it wasn't deep because I would just bring my money else where but I'm only leaving this comment because you own a business learn how to talk to people don't understand how you're even in business for this long talking to somebody like that read more

They had my 97 Ford Ranger for almost 2 months. I took it in because it failed inspection, no check engine light. DMV insists it has a check engine light, Lakeview says it doesn't have 1. After 2 months and $600+, I failed inspection again. No check engine light. I am very dissatisfied with the lack of communication from the garage. Who takes out a dashboard, buys another and doesn't communicate these actions to the owner? Other mechanical problems resulted from the garages actions, again no one communicated with me in the decision making. I'm a 70 year old woman. I didnt get this far in life by being stupid! So, now I need to start over with a new garage. Fingers crossed. read more

If i could rate this place a zero i would! I Had a flat tire so i called AAA, David was dispatched to come put my spare tire on. When we first couldn't locate where my lug wrench was he became agitated and said he was not told to bring one and had nothing like that on the tow truck. Then the spare since it was never used was not unlocking easily from under my car so he quickly told me he could not assist me and all he could do was tow it. He then left right away pissed off because i did not want it towed. I had to call AAA again and finally AnA towing came and put my spare on with no problem!!! I would not recommend this towing company for anything. read more

I just had the most amazing experience with this garage. I live in Princeton but my son was participating in a three-day soccer tournament in Hammonton. Half way there (1.25 hour drive) my car starts to shimmy when I go more than 40 mph. This really scares me because for all I know (I know nothing) the engine could fall out while I'm driving or I could permanently destroy something. But I couldn't stop because my son was required to be there one hour before the game started and we were already late. So I limp along and get there and as soon as I drop him off I randomly search my phone for a nearby garage and I call Lakeview and I say basically "there's no way I'm going to actually let you repair my car but I'm wondering if you can tell me what's wrong with it?" And the guy says "sure, can you come right now?" So I drive over, and he looks at it, then he calls out a second mechanic to look at and then he diagnoses it and tells me that it's safe to drive home but then I should immediately take it to my mechanic. And then he REFUSES ANY PAYMENT WHATSOEVER. And I got back to the field just as the game started. I love these people!!!! read more

Every time my car has problems in the area, I bring it to Lakeview and have never had a bad experience. They have been working on my vehicles and my family's vehicles for about 20+ years now, both big and small jobs. I love to see that it is still under the same ownership. I never feel bamboozled when dealing with Lakeview and they always explain the jobs in a way I can understand (which is no easy task). Best repair shop ever! read more

Lakeview review These bastards did a brake job for me & stole my front tires & rims & replaced w/2 pieces of crap. One rim was all rusted like it was sitting in water for long time; the tires both looked like they came off a construction truck! When I questioned them they lied and said that was brake dust from pads worn down. I now have to go to PD & press charges! Done with these a$$holes! read more

I was visiting the area when my van broke down with major engine problems. I used AAA to get a tow and Lakeview Garage, was sent. We had great service! Nick and his helper had to manually push my van into their garage since it would not start. They supplied me with a rental car immediately ($34), so I was able to get to my destination until the next morning. They were able to find what was wrong, but they towed me to a local dealer to fix the problem since it was under warranty. I did have to pay Lakeview for the diagnosis, oil, and some of the tow. Apparently, they don't work for free! Be prepared for Nick with his friendly, jovial, and sometimes abrupt personality. You may like him, you may not. My husband did not care for him, but I didn't mind. During my short wait at the garage office before closing time, Nick's cute grandchildren came in with their mom. The place had a nice family feel to it. I could tell Nick was a terrific grandpop. read more

This place drives me CRAZY! Every single time I bring my car in it always turns out to be $700+. No matter what. Also, they never ever call to tell me how much before they start the work. On a positive note, they always knock off a couple of bucks. And the guys joke around with me which makes it not as bad when I'm shelling out $$$. And I appreciate that they fix everything they can, so my car will last longer. They understand that life is hard and it's a pain in the A to have car problems. read more
