Auto repair service near Waterford, MI

Please do not shop at Lakeside Auto if you value your money, integrity and a quality vehicle. My son bought a car from them in September 2012 the engine went out on December 28t, 2012. The dealership salesperson (Tony) who talks more then he listens said "I can't take a loss on this car" to my son when asked if they could exchange the car for another one of equal value. Note..my son who works very hard for his money is newly married and has (2) little boys. He paid cash for his first couple of cars and decided to finance his 1st vehicle with Lakeside Auto which was a mistake. I spoke to the owner at least three times...he gave me (3) different names each time. I am sure it was him all 3 times, but he was evasive and didn't want to take responsiblity for the "Lemon" he sold my son. He told me his name was Ed one day, then Steve the next..when I questioned him about sounding alike..he didn't respond. But yet he claims he has valued "customers for over 25 years of business". This made me sick to my stomach. When I asked him..."So what do you intend to do for my son"...he brought up the sorry warranty as a justification and that basically we should be happy that my son 'PAID" extra for a warranty. The dealer did NOT PROVIDE IT. My son is purchasing the Rendenzvous at a cost of almost $8000.00 th engine went out in (3) months. When it was repaired by the shop for $2400.00 he was told that the warranty on the current engine is (3) months...ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The likely hood of this engine lasting another 2 years during the financial obligation is slim to none...but the dealership DOES NOT CARE! Basically it's the same type of engine that was in the car when it was sold. To this the owner.....whatever his name is responded 'We don't have a magic ball and don't know when a car will go out on us". Total disregard for his dealership and the product he is selling on it. I don't care what business you are in.....if you are in it for profit ONLY and don't car about custo

This review is for Auto Center of Canton which I presume is the new name for this shop. I drove my 2000 Volvo S80 to get it diagnosed because the engine kept missing even after new parts were replaced. This took place on October 16th of 2019 and all I've been getting about this problem is the runaround from a mechanic named Rich. Initially I was told that the engine may need to be replaced with a price tag of $2700.00. I went out to the shop to put half of the deposit for the engine and then was told that the engine was fine, but it was the engine control module that was in need of repairs. Instead of Rich contacting me of the status of the module, I've had to keep calling and then Rich never calls back when he says. It's been over a month of waiting and this is unacceptable as my wife needs to be cared for and taken to her oncologist for cancer treatments at U of M hospital. At this point and right now, I want my car back with the original module and my $500.00 since nothing but waste time has been done. I caution anyone considering this place for repairs as they are just monkeying around and wasting people's time and money.

This is a terrible facility. The quoted me an original price of $927 for labor on an R and I engine repair. They kept my car without doing the work and when I came to ask for my car to be release the owner threatened my by putting his finger in my face and called my an F***ing A**hole. I wanted to just get my vehicle completed by the estimated time he had given me. Things escalated and I called the police. They gave a new invoice for $2217. Took the issue up with the state and they were sanctioned. They were told to release my vehicle but the refuse so now we are going to court. They never finished the car or never planned to even if I paid the $2217. The owner said that he would enjoy make good money off my Porsche when he sales it. The state has denied any attempts at putting a mechanics lien on the vehicle and has told them to give it back.

My husband bought a Cobalt there and after having it less than 2 months his transmission went out. 1400 in repairs on a car he just got. I had also purchased a Jeep there a month after my husband got his car and now my Jeep is having electrical problems and Ive had it less than a month, my dome lights are constantly on and none of my windows work. Two bad cars from this dealership. And when I called to see if he could help all he said was he could take it to his mechanic but id still have to pay for it. I shouldn't be making huge repairs to cars we just purchased. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else, Id hate to have anyone else go through this.
