Lake Forest Auto Repair

I took our cars to Goodyear for service for 10 years because it was convenient. I finally realized I was spending an average of $200 per oil change. I would consistently get a $400 list of preventative work and I felt I should get at least 1-2 of things done. I finally decided to try Lake Forest Auto Repair because Steve was a neighbor before we moved to Foothill Ranch. That was 18 months ago and I have saved at least $100/month in car maintenance because Steve only fixes what is broken (and for a very reasonable price). I'm a big fan. I pay $40 for an oil change instead of $30 at Goodyear, but if that is all that is needed, that is all I pay. It is a bit more effort because it is a 12 minute drive to drop the car off instead of 5. For $1800 in savings in the last year and a half, it is worth it. Two thumbs up!!

Ken is a fine mechanic and a fair business man when it comes to pricing. I would never hesitate to to take my cars to him. Even though I didn't ask he checked everything and showed his honesty by telling me everything is okay. No upsell stuff but good honesty. Thanks Ken your the best!!

I am a first responder and Steve the owner came to the Home Depot parking lot where I was stranded. He first found the battery I needed, picked it, came to me, and replaced it!!! He charged me a reasonable price. He is a salt of the earth great stand up guy. He was my hero today. I would recommend him with the highest honors!!!

My family have been going to LF Auto for 25+ years. Just love them, Steve, Len, Chuck, they are fantastic mechanics. They fix our cars for a fair price and are very honest. Always a great experience! A+

Brought my truck in , it over heated next to this shop so it was convenient to bring there. Turns out my ac belt snapped and needed a new one.. we agree to replace the belt when I went to pick it back up .. he decided to replace all 3 belts, and even help me out by ordering some extra stuff I didn’t ask for and then charging me for them.. then I get home and do a walk around of my truck and there’s a little dent in the tailgate.. then to top it all off, a couple weeks go by and I notice for some reason he replaced my coolant and changed the color of it... I’ve always ran green anti freeze and now I’m running red apparently, not happy will obviously never return
