“I’m a regular customer of this company, which means I’m always satisfied. The guys are always very polite and explain everything clearly. They work quickly and efficiently. The prices are affordable. I definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs it.”
“My left mirror was messed up in a small accident. Nothing was broken but I wouldn’t go back to place. People at Dempster Auto Rebuilder was very helpful. They took the mirror apart and found that it was only one plastic component that was misaligned. They help me reseated the pivot for free and I was good to go. Very helpful and friendly people, would definitely visit again if anything else happen!”
“Unfortunately, this is the second time we’ve needed Armand and Lakeside Autorebuilders this year — but once again, they proved why we will never go anywhere else.
When my husband was recently in an accident, I called Armand to ask if he could help us. Even though he was fully booked through January, he still found a way to fit us in. We had the car towed to Lakeside, and instead of letting it sit for weeks while we waited for parts, Armand went above and beyond: he literally cut a hole in the bumper to pull out the bent muffler so the car would be safe to drive.
Since this accident was considered 50/50 fault, we only had 30 days of rental coverage — and Armand saved us from paying for extra out of pocket rental fees. He did all this before insurance had even gotten involved. He didn’t do it for business; he did it because he’s genuinely a good person.
He knew we were just trying to get another year out of our 11-year-old car, and he helped make that possible. Once the parts arrived, he called us, we dropped the car off, and it was finished in LESS THAN A WEEK. He even removed the old peeling dealer sticker and fixed the trunk springs that kept giving out — small things, but incredibly appreciated.
I never expected to be on a first-name basis with an auto body repair guy, but after being saved twice this year, I’m grateful we found Armand. Hopefully we get a break from accidents… but if we ever need help again, we’re only going to Lakeside.
Truly above and beyond service. Highly, highly recommend!”
“I was recently involved in a minor car collision that left some transfer paint marks on my vehicle. The damage wasn’t severe, so I didn’t want to go through my insurance and end up paying a $500 deductible plus rental fees for such minor repairs. I visited several body shops, but their quotes were even higher than my deductible. Then I found Mid American Body Shop and spoke with Sam. I can’t express how much I appreciate his help. He didn’t charge me for the work he did and was upfront in explaining that while some of the marks might not come off completely, he’d do his best—and he did. I’m grateful for his honesty, generosity, and the fact that he wasn’t trying to take advantage of the situation. If you’re looking for a fair, ethical place to get body work done, this is it. I highly recommend Mid American Body Shop—and definitely ask for Sam. He was fantastic.”

“Bryan was a great help all around! He worked fast, professionally and was very knowledgeable. He understood my car, and took me 30 mins away to my location with no problems at all. Bryan is friendly, social, and happy to do his job. Absolutely recommend when in need of a tow!”
“My experience at this Gerber was excellent! The staff were friendly, professional, and straightforward. They communicated well throughout the whole process, and the repair looks fantastic. They even cleaned my car inside and out, which I didn’t expect and really appreciated. I highly recommend this Gerber!”
“The verify your vin did not work for me. It woukd only let me put in 6 characters. That led to my next gripe. Im not a huge fan of the "cancel your order if not contacted with vin confirmation within 24 hours." Shipping rates don't make sense. It goes up by dollar amount not the size of items. Therefore, when I ordered 10 bolts at $7ish a piece the shipping cost kept jumping. I will say that their price on parts is about 20% less than my local dealer that couldn't get the parts I needed. On the phone their customer service was excellent and fixed the vin issue. their shipping/tracking was fast and accurate. If needed I will definitely shop from them again.”
“I have been taking my 2021 CX-30 here since I purchased it new. I’ve mostly worked with Jay, who takes very good care of me & my vehicle! The communication is exceptional and appreciate the inspection/service videos they share to illustrate what was done & why they are recommending repairs. Most often only regular maintenance has been required, but the few times I’ve needed repairs, they’ve been great about providing information and options. My Mazda is by far the best vehicle I’ve ever owned and that, combined with the extraordinary service I have received at Mazda Autobarn Service of Evanston, ensures that my next vehicle will be a Mazda, too! Thank you.”
“Enrique is an expert in customer care. Enrique made it clear that having great service customer and getting exactly what my spouse and I needed, was a priority. Enrique is straightforward, no bs type of guy, and the rest is great customer service history! I wish every dealership had a sales manager like Enrique. Your new customer for life Steve-O. 11/18/2025
