Lockhart Auto Care Inc, Lake Placid FL

I had to give it a1 star to leave a review or I would have given it a big fat 0. Talk about unprofessional. I was told first thing this morning they would have my car fixed by the end of business today however at 400 pm not only was it not done they didn't even have the part.

Always a pleasure. Honest and reliable, from patching tires to major repairs. The only shop in LP that I will go to.

My car wouldn’t start after a cross country trip hauling a trailer. I feared the engine had been damaged. On Monday morning I called Lockhart Auto repair to help. They contacted Jason towing and had my car in the shop within an hour. Within another hour they diagnosed my problem as a bad battery which surprised me because my car would light up when I tried to start it but it would not turn over the engine. After everything, I had my car back that afternoon. I thought I was going to spend thousands on engine repair but it only cost me a tow, a new battery and labor. I definitely recommend them.

They were friendly and listened to my car concerns. But suggested I take my car to the dealership. As they felt it was out of their ability. I appreciate them not giving me the run around and being direct that I should in fact take it to the dealership for a proper diagnosis.

Saw a lot of reviews about this Bam person. Well, let me just say, this guy is the real deal! Thought I was facing a $1000+ repair bill, Bam found that the problem was totally unrelated and fixed it in just ten minutes!

To the owners, do not lose this employee. People like this CAN NOT be replaced! Anytime I have an issue with one of my vehicles in the future, I'm bringing it to Bam at Lockhart Auto.

Thank you Bam!

100% hands down the most painless mechanic experience I’ve had in the last decade! Best I’ve had in Florida. The service was fast. They informed me every step of the way until my vehicle was back in my hands. Oh and the pricing was amazing too. If you’re in highlands county and need service done to your vehicle run don’t walk to Lockhart.

Heard a noise from under the truck's hood the day before leaving for 2 days of interstate travel. A friend recommended Lockhart. They took a listen and said to bring the truck back after their lunch and they would diagnose and fix it. Turns out it was a water pump going bad- which would have stranded us on the interstate. They fixed it that day so we did not have to delay our trip. Bam, Kathy, and everyone else were so helpful. Will be back if we need any other automotive services when we are in the area.

Purchased a vehicle from this company for 10,700 not even a week later two leaks exposed themselves. I addressed the wetness and gunk build up prior to purchase and I was informed that the vehicle was repaired correctly. This was in fact not the case. The water pump gasket leak was repaired with RTV silicone. The coolant reservoir. Was filled with water before I arrived. As well as the power steering with ATF fluid. Very shady business I’ve called several times they refuse to speak to me and I quote “you bought a used vehicle what do you expect” they offer no attempt for resolving. I bought this vehicle 6 days ago! I have yet to hear from the owner William. I’m very disgusted with how they do business. Be very cautious they are the definition of sleezy car dealer.
