Upon reading previous yelp reviews here I was cautious to make sure I understood all that they would deliver along with up charges for additional problems that might be discovered.

Having been dropped off, i attempted to get it home. would not exceed 30 MPH on hwy, failed to make it up my driveway, sputtering and missing compression strokes all the way......Lake City Auto handed me an extremely unsafe vehicle.... I called, set up another appointment, assuming they would be anxious to redeem their very poor service ...they wouldn't even tow it back? I had it towed back, another $800. Lake City Auto did a meaningless $700 repair, I had two tows and another $800, they could care less. my advice, two blocks down the road is Silver Lake Auto....go there!

She said she believed it to be full synthetic so they got to work. When she was able to pull up she stated it was standard oil but they were already working on it. The sales rep solution was to redeem two standard oil changed ($60 purchase price) plus $25 cash to pay for an oil change that Groupon sells for $50. This company showed very poor integrity to my wife and took advantage of a vulnerable woman in an uncomfortable situation. We will not be going back.

Over time they stopped giving advise for my car care and got really short with me. Probably for the best, now that I went somewhere else to get my car worked on, they said the last person who worked on my car stripped all my brake screws, costing over 80$ in replacement pieces. Prior auto care actually did my brakes twice before switching. I finally switched garages since I dont feel valued as a customer when I called to schedule an oil change and they quoted me over a week out. But my partner called the same day and offered multiple appointments for everyday in-between.
