LAKE FOREST AUTO REPAIR

The team at L&M are amazing! I drove from Gilbert, AZ to have them check my car. I had a mechanic tell me they wanted to charge a $110 fee just to tell me what's wrong. I've had everything from basic oil changes to sensor lights to 100k check ups. I love how Azu always knows it's me on the phone, Emerson brings a wealth of knowledge and the entire team is always so accommodating! I have always recommended them to everyone I know and I won't stop! Thank you for being the most reliable and honest mechanic shop I've been to.

Super friendly and trustworthy. Made me feel welcomed and well taken care of. Staff is professional, office is clean. Would go here again. Thank you Emerson!

New to CA, had my smog check this morning. They had me in and out in less than 20 minutes

These guys are awesome, got us in the door right away even though they were stacked and packed. Best part was that they worked hard to get warranty coverage on our repairs, going the extra mile. Could have been more proactive on following-up with status, but job was done right, and done quickly. Thanks!!

Got my smog check here. They were quick and super friendly. They are in the same building as another place and it kind of looks like one. Make sure you get the right place. I'd definitely come back.

I had a nail in my tire. I called around 930am to see if they could fix it. I also asked about an oil change. Talked to Charlie. He said come in. My office is close and he gave me a ride back. The car was done well before 3pm. The shop was very busy and everyone was courteous, efficient and very friendly. I'll be back.

This is an awesome place! The staff is friendly, helpful and pleasant and their work is top notch. I've been bringing all of my cars here for years and I love them. They are always open to taking a look and doing oil changes without an appointment.

I took my Porsche to 2 different smog centers and both refused to perform the smog (too difficult). I visited L&M Automotive, and they welcomed me, got my car in right away, offered me delicious coffee, and while I waited the owner was kind enough to take the time to chat with/educate me on car waxing procedures & options. All in all, a five-star experience with L&M and I will for sure be bringing my Prius there for maintenance.

Thanks for checking the tires on my Ford truck. I didn't think about the recent cold weather being a factor! Took the RX8 in for inspection - seemed like the back end shocks/struts had fsiled; resulting in a hard bump when leaving driveways. Turns one of them had failed after 14 years. Thanks guys for fixing it quickly, only took a couple of days! Read more Took the 2001 Ford Ranger in for an inspection. It had been starting slugishly for months. Everything's good excepr it needed a new battery. I'll be driving it more frequently now! Thanks guys! Read more Just picked up our motorhome, the team fixed a couple of items from our last RV trip. As always, we appreciate their attention to detail and wonderful customer service! We'll be back soon! Read more Took the Saturn with a failed rear window (electric). Wouldn't close all the way. Emerson immediately knew how to fix it! He had the parts the following day, and we picked up the car. Awesome job, Emerson!! Bob Read more Late last week I received an email from L&M letting me know about their "Spring Fling" maintenance special. I've had the 2001 Ford Ranger XLT since my youngest son, Aaron handed me back the truck (as promised many years ago). He took great care maintaining it, and almost 190,000 miles on it, truck runs great. It was due for an LOF, and the special through in a wash (it was filthy), tire rotation, new wiper blades, and a multipoint inspection. Amazing! And because of that, I now know that the power steering pump needs replacing. It's original equipment, so I'm not surprised. Thanks guys, see you soon! Read more Yesterday, I called early to see if the great L&M team had time for a LOF for my Mazda RX-8. Ken said sure, come right over. In no time at all they took great care of the car! They always check a ton of items and they always let you know if additional service might be needed. I'll be back in a couple of weeks to have the rear brakes done, because if you wait too long, the brake job gets more costly. Read more I took our 16 year old Saturn (168,000+ miles) in for a LOF, and told them the RH turn signal was flashing really fast, at times. Turns it was just a bulb problem. Another bulb needed replacing in the dashboard display area. Thanks again to everyone @ L&M, especially Kevin for going the extra mile for us! I'll be back next week for a LOF for my Mazda RX-8!

Read more Drove the Saturn L300 to L&M Thursday afternoon, with very weird things happening. First the battery lite came on, flashing, then went solid then disappeared. Then the Speedometer and Tach dials started acting erratically. The crack team at L&M diagnosed it as a faulty Alternator. After 16 years, it started overcharging, causing the problem. They had it fixed with a new Alternator by Friday afternoon! Outstanding customer service, as usual! Read more I've been coming to L&M for over 20 years, and Charlie and his team have always had top-notch service, great warranties, fair prices. You always get the right process to maintain your car. I highly recommend this shop! Read more

Got some more peppermint bark...yum!
