“I go to this place on a regular basis, the service always good and the price is fair. My last experience wasn't that great, the price wasn't exaggerated but above my budget and told the guy that I wouldn't be able to do it at this time and he said something negative about me in Spanish thinking because I am black I won't understand what he says. I think it is rude and unprofessiinal.”
“I have finally found an honest, friendly, and professional mechanic. I wish I would have found them years ago. I will only bring my cars to Lake County Auto Service from now on. Daniel was very friendly from the first interaction on the phone. I was able to get a convenient appointment for service. It was my sons car that was having problems and I was worried about a mechanic taking advantage of him. However, Daniel kept us informed and did not try to charge us for unnecessary repairs.”
“Smitty and crew do amazing work, for a great price. Had my new engine delivered on a Wednesday and had my car back to me that Friday. Insanely fast for a major job like that.
I spoke with Smitty for a good 20 or so minutes while picking it up, and I immediately could tell this wasn’t just a business to him, but a passion.
Over 50 years of experience alone, he knows how to hire, and Happy and team are all incredible. These guys set the standard for a mechanic shop, and then immediately exceed it.
He is also very well connected in the mechanic scene and knows how to get you quality parts and do quality work for a genuinely surprisingly reasonable price.
The wall of his office is covered in certificates that he and his team have earned, and he’s active on the floor making sure his guys learn to an expert level like he did himself.
Cannot recommend them enough, they saved my vehicle, got me an engine with 30k less miles than the one they initially found and kept the price the same, and did the whole job in a couple days all while working on a whole fleet of cars.
All the work is warrantied for a year, and you most likely will not need that warranty as of the 6 or so jobs he’s done between me and my roommate, there have been zero issues since.
I wouldn’t have written the book of a review if I didn’t have so many good things to say, and I could keep going. Never before have I had such trust and good communication with a mechanic. Straight to the point, honest, and don’t hit you with a list of additional things that “need replacing” like we’ve all experienced a time or two before.
To close, shop around all you’d like, that’s never a bad thing to do, but I have a good feeling you’ll end up at Smittys not only for the price, but the confidence in knowing things will be done right.”
“I was traveling from out of town and experience a mechanical issue With my Mercedes S550 4Matic. A family member Recommended that I take my car to ManyEcars to diagnose and hopefully repair the vehicle. The recommendation was spot on! Not only was I given prompt, professional and courteous service, the mechanical issue was expertly diagnosed and repaired with minimal downtime!
I could not have asked for a better repair Service for my vehicle!!”
“We have been bringing our cars to this mechanic for many years, and they are truly fantastic. Not only are they incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but they also go above and beyond in their service. They stayed late to ensure my car was ready for the weekend, even taking it for a test drive to make sure everything was perfect. Their kindness truly shines through in everything they do. I am so grateful for their dedication and care. Highly recommended!”
“Had a nail in my tire but didnt have the key for the wheel lug nut lock. The service team was great and friendly, worked me in quickly and removed the lug lock and put on my spare tire. Was greatful and pleased I ended up purchasing whole new set of tires which they installed the next day. Such a great surprise to find a business that is wiling to help.”
“Came here on Christmas Eve hoping they were open and they were! They were so quick and efficient! I would like to point out Heath and Brettwere so kind and helpful. Heath was thorough at explaining my recommendation! Will be coming here again!”
“I went to Specs auto paint for information about painting my first vehicle ever and Isaiah was very helpful and knowledgeable. Great place to prosper with, I would refer them with honors.”
“Had my car in one day and out literally the very next day fora very reasonable price @ that my baby sounds 100% brand new now can’t recommend and thank these guys enough ????”
“I first communicated with Tavy by text. I told him very specifically what I was looking for in a used car. I told him the price limit and the mileage that I didn't want to exceed. He texted me pictures of two cars that met my criteria. A black Ford Bronco and a gray Jeep Renegade. I fell in love with the Renegade. Tavy scheduled a test drive for me. I told him I wanted it, and then filled out the paperwork. It was very easy. This was the first time that I bought my own car.”
“I had an outstanding experience at Advantage CDJR thanks to Damien and Brian the new GSM. They took such great care of my family during the buying process that we ended up purchasing not one, but two vehicles: a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and a 2025 Ram 1500 Laramie. They made everything incredibly easy, explaining every detail clearly and without any pressure. I highly recommend this dealership—top-notch service from start to finish! 5 stars!”
“I called about having my truck A/C serviced as it was blowing on the warm side. They were busy and the person I talked to promised to call me back with an appointment time. He called me back the same day. The mechanic gave me two options on the service and took time to explain each option. I watched him as he worked. He was knowledgeable and friendly. My A/C works like new. The price was good. I wouldn't hesitate to return to this shop.”
“Came here today for the first time after noticing it while riding by the other day. There looked to be an estate sale or something going on out front with a lot of Christmas items. Upon entry, I noticed the place is very well organized and clean, with a ton of stuff! I'd probably have to come back here quite a few times in order to actually go through and look at everything. Some things are overpriced but I bought a few things that seemed to be a good deal. To me, anyway. A hair dryer which I've been needing, a waffle blanket that was 50% off so only $2, and a pair of linen pants. Total was $7 for everything. The lady working was helpful. I actually asked for her help to see something that was inside of the glass case, and she moved the stuff out from in front of it and got it out for me. She also answered the questions I had about prices for some items. I recommend this store because I feel like there is something there for everyone.”
“The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The wait time is minimal and they let me know what is wrong and they give me a time frame for the repair. Each repair has been great. Volvo S60 owner:) Yes, they work on foreign cars too:)”
“I am incredibly grateful for the staff here, especially Ms Lisa. She got me in quickly and had her team look over my car. They were prompt, professional and most importantly effective. I was back on the road the same day even though I came later in the afternoon. I knew what to expect and they followed through. Great service at this location !”
