Lakeview Auto & Diesel Service in
Lake Elsinore (CA)

Super excellent service fixed my alarm problem in a snap great pricing! If I would have takes my car back to the dealer it would have cost 3X more my car runs and works great wouldn’t take my car anywhere else!!!! Wendy

Love this place. I own a 2013 diesel truck and have had them fix any issues i have. There prices are fair but there mechanic is top notch. I also love the fa t that they don't try and nickel and dime you. If you love your truck and need good work done at a reasonable price I hope you go and try them out

They were excellent. We came from out of town and had some issues with our diesel exhaust fluid sensor not registering the tank is full. They were able diagnose the problem and reset the sensor for me. They were responsive and had the car done in 3 hours. They were amazing! I wish I lived in town because they would be my go-to shop!

I have been trusting my vehicle repair to Lakeview Auto for years with confidence and repeated satisfaction. Jaime and Gavin are an awesome team of professional mechanics, managed and directed by Mr. Nick, himself. I recently took my vehicle in with a problem with my windshield washer system. I had expected it to be a failed pump or the like, but Nick's mechanic found a lesser problem, repaired it, and sent me on my way at a price no one could complain about. Thank you Lakeview Auto. You make drivers happy and keep the highways safe! Your happy customer, Alvin Adams

Awesome shop with great customer service. I have 6 cars and they ALL go there for all services.

These guys are great. Servicing my truck for years. Always good

I take all 3 of my cars to this shop for years for every issue , always honest and use OEM parts , no cutting corners or up selling things that don’t need to be fixed .

Great people. Cassie in customer service and Jaime the mechanic went above and beyond for me . Highly recommend them .

Nice and friendly, helped me with a quick quote on my breaks, withba good price for the work, and I was able to use easy pay, because being on disability and having to fork out $1000 Unexpectedly, doesn't cut it... so thank you so very much!!!

Detailed diagnostic about the entire car, except for the actual issue i brought it in for, they gave me back my keyfob with a broken shell which was not broken when i brought it in, had to buy another key shell off amazon.

After 400,000 miles Lakeview put on a new motor mount, wheel bearings, control arms, and front struts. Now, 10,000 miles later my van runs Perfect…and all this more than $3000 less that the dealership quote for the same work!!!

Me and my family have been going here for years!!!!!! I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!! Very honest people Jaime and Cassie are very good and honest people !! Prices are reasonable! They show pictures of the car everything that needs done!!!

We went in for a transmission issue on a Ford escape. We’ve been towing it on a vacation and burned our transmission up. The mechanic was very honest and straightforward. We appreciated his information and was able to make a great decision on what to do on our car. Thank you very much great service.

I liked the honesty, helpfullness and quality of service. If I have any future auto repair work to be done, I will come back. I will also recommend your shop to others....... Thank you for your service.

I took my car there because it was leaking gas,before they would even look at it I had to pay them 125 dollars. So I did & all they told me is that it has a gas leak & wanted 500 dollars to fix it. Well my husband & I fixed it & it cost in parts 60 dollars. They still wouldn't tell me the leak was. I wouldn't advise them to anyone.

I pulled in not knowing what was wrong, car had a couple Red lights flashing, I had almost fried a valve, tensioner pully and belt had to be replaced, they went right to work on my Buick and I was happily on my way 1 1/2 hours later, great employees and a very nice staff of mechanics, I highly recommend this shop

Took my Prius to a dealership where they told me I had a leaky fuel hose which required the entire gas assembly to be replaced. Called Lakeview (where I have taken my Ram 2500 several times) to see if they could help. They worked to find they hose that needed to be replaced (from Canada!), ordered the part and had it ready for pickup in less than a week at less than half the cost of the dealership. I can't say enough about how nice and helpful everyone at Lakeview was throughout the entire process. I began taking my truck here as a recommendation from a close family friend and I will not hesitate to recommend Lakeview to anyone who needs car repairs!

Have been going to Lakeview Auto for years and always have a great experience. Good quality work performed at a competitive price. Nick and Jaime are great!

You get what you pay for,and I would not recommend this place. Took my Audi there. $300 later and told me my head needed rebuild. Ask how much and was told $2400. Figured if I was going to spend that kind of money, I better take to Audi dealer. Took to Audi in Temecula. Was not cylinder head. Was timing chain , and bad lifter. Total cost at Audi was $2100 ,and this included brake fluid replacement. If all you need is a tune-up , go ahead and take your chance at this place. Oh ,and while my Audi was being serviced I drove their 2020 loner car for 10 days. ?

Brought in my Jeep Patriot for a sever brake issue. Did a complete inspection to let me know if anything else was wrong (with pictures) but didn't pressure me at all to get any of it done! Very friendly and approachable. I didn't even have to be there when I got the Jeep towed to the shop and they even picked me up when it was done! They got two locations so very convenient!

Our family has been taking our vehicles here for years. Jaime is an absolutely wonderful mechanic. I've recommended this shop to a number of people and everyone has been extremely pleased. Nick is always helpful and as honest as they come. I don't ever see a reason to go anywhere else!!

Wonderful experience. My car had an annoying clanking noise from the front end. I thought it was the tranny but Lakeview determined it to be a rock in the brake caliper. Others would of gouged me but Nick was honest. About $60 and my car was on the road.

If you have a problem, Nick will go above and beyond to take care of you and fix any problems you have with your vehicle in such a professional and understanding manner. I am so thankful how smoothly everything went and how well I was taken care of. I Would recommend Lakeview auto. You can trust that whatever you need done, will get done. Not only was everything done professionally, but also quickly and efficiently. Thank you again so much!

This place is small but the service they did on my car was that of a big name dealership the owner is very friendly and knows his cars. I was in and out with in a decent time for a oil change and car check up. Highly recommend will be come back for life.

Lakeview is awesome. I can always count on them to do quality, honest, fair priced work. I will only take my car to them. They are always great and friendly. I trust them 100% which is rare to find. Thank you again Lakeview. Oh and to correct a previous review, Nick is still there,

I was a customer of this company when "Nick" worked there, as were my daughter and niece. I took my husband's truck in to have the air conditioning diagnosed and have the window fixed. I dropped it off on Thursday and never heard from them again. I called Friday morning to and Cassie told me they were diagnosing it and would call me in 1 to 2 hours. She never did. I finally called at 2 and she said it would be $808 to fix the 3 things they found wrong. That included a diagnostic fee of $56.50, which they don't waive if you have them fix it. I decided to pick my truck up after calling around and finding out they are WAY overpriced. I arrived to pick up my truck and it was still hooked to the air conditioning testing unit. When I paid, I found out that they charge $56.50 PER ITEM DIAGNOSED. Cassie told me there were no leaks in the system. I paid my $113 and couldn't take the truck because they had to finish putting my Freon back in. I said I'd come back in 30 minutes as my ride needed to leave. I went home and got my daughter and returned about 40 minutes later and my truck was gone. The Mexican guy in the shop informed me that Cassie, the receptionist, was driving it. He laughed and said she needed to take it to their other shop because something wasn't working on their air conditioning machine. I waited about 10 minutes and she finally came back with my truck and guess what she told me...there is now leak in my air conditioning system and they were unable to put my Freon back in. So now it's got a leak AFTER I was told no leaks and after I had already paid and told them not to do any work on it. I will never take my car here and I will tell anyone who will listen how shady this shop is. I'm also going to file a complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repair. Don't let their old 5 star reviews fool you. Nick is never here anymore and the people he's left in charge have ruined a good shop that used to have a good reputation .

I have been taking two vehicles, a '98 Toyota 4Runner and an '01 Saab 95 to these guys for more than 5 years. I am extremely pleased with their service and integrity. I have regular maintenance done on my vehicles and always tell them that if anything else needs attention, please fix it. I am basically giving them Carte Blanc to pad the bill and they never do. At most they have replaced a air/fuel filter or a worn hose. I heartily recommend this repair facility. To the unidentified person who claims their air filter was not replaced must be mistaken. Lakeview Auto does NOT do smog checks. The business next door does smog. I have also used their services and have been completely satisfied.
