    Dave and team are great- professional and honest. I am trying to save an old Audi and they have helped me address a few things. Great communication and they always take the time to explain repairs and issues with my car. I have three other VWs that we will be bringing there for service. Highly recommend. I am glad that we found someone we could trust and who loves German cars.

    I received a quote for work to my Volkswagen from Dave. He was straightforward and honest about my options, including the fact that my vehicle needed more work done than it was worth (which was against his interest as a business-owner that fixes cars!). I would definitely return to Lakeside and highly recommend them!

It breaks down, but in French!

That might be a grey market part!

There used to be a great repair shop called FoMoCo in Milwaukee – almost as good as Lakeside (but not quite).

I’ll be over with my MINI Cooper S later this afternoon for the installation.

Who’s the lucky recipient of a new heart?

Well that will sure get rid of a check engine light!

Better add some $$ too. Nice photo
