Our family has been using Lake City Autoworks for decades with at least half a dozen different makes and models, and we have complete trust in Karl. He is honest, knowledgeable, and fair, and we have complete confidence in his expertise and integrity. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

Just purchased 1936 Restromod Ford pickup that needed serious attention. The owner and mechanic gave my truck their full and careful attention. Autoworks will be our go to shop as long as we own the truck.
