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!

We are a full service maintenance and repair facility. Voted # 1 Porsche repair shop in Northern MI.
Now that it is that time of year again, here are a few winter storage tips for your investment.
1) Clean your car. Exterior and Interior. As you always want to keep the dirt off the outside, but you want to keep the mold away from the inside also.
2) Fill up you tank with fresh Premium fuel.
3) Air up your tires to help prevent flat spots
4) Keep a Smart Maintainer on your battery at all times. This is different than a big battery charger.
5) Leave your windows down a little to help with air circulation. That leather needs to breathe.
6) If your not in a perfect climate controlled garage, keep that moisture away from the bottom of your car by parking on a full size tarp. Put some cardboard on top of the plastic as needed for oil drips.
7) Finally, do everything you can to keep the rodents away. We do thousands of dollars of repairs every year do to critter damage. Pick your choice of options from: Traps, poison, moth balls, Or natural smells like ( Peppermint oil, Onions, Coffee beans ,Cayenne Pepper, Cloves, Cinnamon, ) are all good deterrents. Drier sheets work only for about 1-2 weeks then the smell dissipates. ... See MoreSee Less

Sorry it was still dawn when I took the picture so lighting doesn’t show the awesomeness of this paint to sample color.
I want that car.
Is that color blue matcha latte?
