Cannot recommend them enough. Top shelf care and service. THEY ACTUALLY CARED. The service manager was engaged and understanding of my needs and concerns. They made the effort to squeeze me in during their peak season on the fly (which is a 10/10 in my book!). Everything about Lake City was positive. They went above and beyond including me following up the next day about a non related issue. You will not find a better auto shop in the CDA area. 10/10 would recommend.

Took my Honda CRV in for A/C evaporator repair after receiving a quote that beat the dealership (who may or may not have broken it) by a couple hundred dollars. The staff are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable and the repair went above and beyond excellent. A loaner vehicle was also included which is top tier service and very convenient. An oil change was recommended after vehicle inspection revealed the oil to be low and dirty. Price was fair and again, service was excellent. A complete breakdown of recommended services and repairs was also provided after they looked over the whole vehicle which will help me plan out future mainte...Took my Honda CRV in for A/C evaporator repair after receiving a quote that beat the dealership (who may or may not have broken it) by a couple hundred dollars.

More if I could. :)

My son and I would like to thank Lake City Auto Care in Coeur d'alene. Robert and the team went above and beyond to identify issues with my son's truck. The experience we had working with Lake City will bring us back in the very near future for all of our Auto needs. Thank you Lake City Auto care!

This is the best auto repair shop I have ever been to. I have lived in California, Nevada, and as a female I have always been nervous to go to auto repair shops because of my lack of knowledge of what I needed repaired. They not only gave me a free inspection with prices, they kindly explained everything to me and listened to me. I will be coming back here over and over and sending all of my friends and family here. Thank you so much!

Originally brought my truck in to get a misfire code diagnosed after suspecting a bad cam and lifters (an unfortunately common issue on these trucks). They stated they tested coils, plugs and injector pulse but still recommended replacing the injectors.
I decided to replace the single injector myself to help narrow down before replacing all 8.
When the problem persisted I called back to let them know and request a quote on a new cam and set of lifters. I was immediately met with defense and argument.
- “No way it’s bad lifters compression check was normal!”(Compression check will diagnose sealing issues, which won’t be a problem if valves are...Originally brought my truck in to get a misfire code diagnosed after suspecting a bad cam and lifters (an unfortunately common issue on these trucks).

I decided to replace the single injector myself to help narrow down before replacing all 8.
When the problem persisted I called back to let them know and request a quote on a new cam and set of lifters. I was immediately met with defense and argument.
- “No way it’s bad lifters compression check was normal!”(Compression check will diagnose sealing issues, which won’t be a problem if valves aren’t opening)
- “well I told you to replace all 8 injectors!” (I was planning on doing that if I discovered that replacing one solved the misfire)
- “Well it’s possible the one you installed was bad. Bring it in and we’ll test them” (you already said you tested the injectors)
- “There’s no way you have a bad cam and lifters on only 177K miles.” (I’ve seen guys get this job done at 75k. It’s a common problem on this motor.)
I think they were just mad that I replaced an injector without them which I understand. You have to pay your employees. But dude, I’m trying to give you a probably $5-7000 cam and lifters job and you just want to argue and flex your knowledge.
They also had the truck for an additional 2 days to do a brake flush and it never even got completed. 3 days without my main source of transportation and nothing to show.
Obviously took my business elsewhere. Not worth dealing with the ego trip these guys are on. Turns out it was a bad lifter, cam and a broken valves.
I’m sure if all you need is an oil change or some minor mechanical work, these guys are capable, but wouldn’t take them something that needs anything more extensive.
