History of Lake Arbor Automotive
A multiple recipient of a Better Business Bureau’s Gold Star Award, Lake Arbor Auto won the BBB’s coveted Torch Award for Martketplace Trust (Small Business) in 2010 and then received the prestigious 2012 Bill Daniels Ethics in Business. Lake Arbor Auto has won seven major awards over a four-year period, all of which recognized the shop for its focus on customer service and business ethics. The company’s slogan is “We do the right thing for you … every time,” and employees can provide examples of the ways in which they abide by that slogan every day.
Lake Arbor Auto is a Triple-A approved repair shop and has the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence with five ASE-certified Master Technicians on staff. Lake Arbor Auto is an ASA (Automotive Service Association) national and state member, is the highest volume emissions repair facility in Colorado, and is a member of the Association of Diesel Specialists. But even more important than all the awards and professional distinctions is the manner in which the employees at Lake Arbor Auto conduct themselves and relate to the customers. Upon your first visit to Lake Arbor Auto, you will leave feeling like you have found new friends; and after multiple visits, they will begin to feel like family.
When you interact with Lake Arbor Auto employees, you will learn more about your car than you ever learned anywhere else; because one of our main policies is to EDUCATE our customers and help them make the right decisions about their car care. We will let you know which repairs need immediate attention and which ones can tolerate some delay – and why! We will let you know the financial ramifications of your decisions, without applying any pressure in one direction or another. It’s all in the slogan: We do the right thing for you … every time!
Lake Arbor Auto services all makes and models of all vehicles, foreign and domestic, providing all the traditional services that you would expect to receive at an award-winning repair-and-maintenance shop. Those services include brakes, electric systems, engine, belts, hoses, heating and air conditioning systems, steering and suspension, ignition, transmission and more!
