Passion for Cars, Dedication to People
Lakeside Auto Center is a locally owned and operated collision repair shop founded by lifelong car enthusiasts Andre and Edgar in 2024. From the very beginning, their mission has been clear: to combine dealership-level professionalism and quality with a personal, community-focused touch.
“Our passion for cars runs deep, but our real motivation comes from helping people,” said Andre, Co-Founder of Lakeside Auto Center. “After an accident, customers are often stressed and unsure of what to do next. We wanted to create a shop where they feel completely supported—from the moment they walk through our doors to the moment they drive away in a vehicle restored to pre-accident condition.”
What We Do
Located in the heart of Toluca Lake, Lakeside Auto Center is known for its honesty, transparency, and comprehensive in-house repair capabilities. Most services are performed on-site—including:
- Mechanical work
- ADAS calibrations
- Programming
- Wheel alignments
This hands-on approach ensures full control over quality and timelines.
We believe collision repair is more than making a car look new. Modern vehicles rely on advanced safety systems that must be carefully restored. “Poor or incomplete repairs can compromise a vehicle’s integrity and even put lives at risk,” explains Andre. That’s why every vehicle we repair leaves our shop safe, reliable, and road-ready.
We know accidents are stressful,
So we make the repair process simple and worry-free. Our team:
- Assists with insurance paperwork
- Provides loaner vehicles
- Keeps you updated every step of the way
This dedication has earned us glowing reviews from customers who highlight our seamless communication, transparency, and genuine care.
Lakeside Auto Center is proud to be part of the Toluca Lake community. We actively support local initiatives, from holiday toy drives and fire department donations to Chamber of Commerce events.
As we continue to grow, we remain true to our original vision: to help our community, restore peace of mind, and build lasting relationships based on trust and exceptional service.
