They never do anything that doesn't need doing. I most recently brought in a used Subaru that I purchased to get anything fixed that needed fixing.

My son and I went over to Lakeside motors this morning to look at a 2014 Ford Explorer. The…read moregentleman that we met was very courteous and had a great attitude. Another gentleman behind the computer identified himself as the owner and said he was there for 30 years. I told him the only reason I was there is because I found him on yelp and your customers love you. He smiled, and said "hey, we try to do our best. You know it's a car business it's tough, but we try to do our best."! I think that's all we can expect is someone's best. The salesman was a very nice gentleman who let us look at the car without interrupting or acting condescending, etc. He recognized I had a small amount of mechanical aptitude and did not belittle me or put me down because I was trying to do a little due diligence on count of my 17 1/2 year-old son. We took the vehicle for a ride and came back. We said we had to take a drive and talk about it. He said, "why don't you take this car for another drive and talk about it"? which I thought was pretty great. We took another drive in the car and we came back and made a great deal! I didn't beat them up and they did not beat me up. It felt really good to do a good old-fashioned deal. The handshake , well it was great, I know that sounds corny and a little ridiculous but if you come here, I'm sure you'll experience the same thing. We haven't picked the car up yet. Just did the deal, but I'll certainly check back and let you all know.

If you want to waste your entire day at this location to get an inspection done, be my guest. From…read morearrival to departure, to try to get an inspection sticker took 45 minutes. Now, this would have been fine if I was notified ahead of time over the phone that there was this long of a wait, but that was not the case. On top of that, they are extremely nit-picky when it comes to inspection stickers. For example, I have clear lenses for my blinkers & they give off a tan look. I was advised that the front blinker lights need to be amber & not tan. I guess my blinker lights weren't the correct hue for their liking. I mean from my perspective, if the blinkers work, great. Why are you requesting to replace something that isn't broken. Also, there were two bay's & the other bay was being occupied by an employee's vehicle, WHAT? Additionally, for this location if someone isn't going to pass their inspection for whatever the reason maybe, provide the customer an estimate for what it would cost to fix/replace said items to allow for a passed inspection. Therefore, by doing that the customer can consider this estimate of what needs to be done if it is within reason & applicable to the inspection, & consider opting into getting it done while they are still there. Rather than sending the customer off & say, get it fixed at wherever you get work done on your vehicle. Not good business practices at all. But again, this would stress upon "within reason", considering the fact that I was told that my brake fluid was low & there was a leak that needed to be located, which wouldn't allow for me to pass inspection. Interestingly enough I went to a different shop the next day to get an oil change & brought up the brake fluid comment from the day prior for the inspection attempt. I was told "that isn't even a part of an inspection". Now, I do appreciate the fact that they noticed that but if its not a part of the inspection it would be wise to just mention it to the customer to refill it, rather than say you won't pass inspection. Customer beware, this shop will bring things up to you that you never went there for. Which is probably related to trying to get you to have more work done here. Not necessary if someone is going there for something simple. What is the most interesting part of all this, would be the fact that I went to another shop to get an inspection & passed.
