Dana TePoel has more than 30 years of automotive experience. He purchased a failing emissions-testing shop in 1992, expanded it into a full-service auto repair shop, and has served the Denver community's car-care needs with the highest degree of integrity. Lake Arbor Auto is the only full-service shop in the Denver area that offers on-site, dedicated training space for technicians plus complete diesel emissions testing. His emissions shop survived while dozens around him closed their doors when Colorado adopted the statewide, Envirotest emissions-testing program.
At Lake Arbor Automotive & Truck, our philosophy is We do the RIGHT THING for YOU. EVERY TIME! What we mean by that is simple - we will earn your trust by putting your needs ahead of ours.

A vibrant community is critical to Lake Arbor Auto's business success, and so it only stands to reason that Lake Arbor Auto does its part in the area of community service. When we do the "right thing for you, " it means doing the right thing for the community, too. At Lake Arbor Auto, we have had the honor of involving ourselves in numerous good works for the community, beginning with the Regional Air Quality Control Council, with which LAA owner Dana TePoel has been affiliated since 1993.He and the shop are active participants in the "Repair Your Air" campaign.
You have heard our "Do the Right Thing" slogan countless times, and you might wonder at what point the slogan translates into action? We are so adamant about doing the right thing and proving it to people, we have implemented a "Right Thing of the Month" award to the most deserving individual. In most cases, the award will go to one of our employees, because that's where we see the Right Thing happening on a regular basis.

Consistently great customer service, consistently great work by the technicians, consistently great communication. Patrick usually helps me and so wonderful about communicating the work being done and what's needed. The most trustworthy and reliable help I've had on my vehicles and I have tried out a couple different places. Highly recommend this business for quality work at fair prices!

Brought my 02 Ram 2500 in for diesel emissions test. Test was fast only took about 30 minutes. People I talked to were friendly and price was on par for other places in the area. I will be coming back for future emissions tests.

We have over time, with many & various automotive repairs - replacements, been very satisfied with lakeside Automotive - they have proven to be honest like telling it like it is and very trustworthy; saying what the diagnosis is, telling you what it's projected in cost & time, to get 'er done.

Went there to get my emission done on my ram 3500, I told them I have smoke stacks on it I was told to bring in. I waited 20 minutes for them to tell they could not do it for my diesel. In my opinion if your going to work on diesels you should be equipped with the tools to satisfy the customers needs. Your shop done nothing for me except burn up my fuel going clear cross town.

Just did the brakes and ball joints on my truck (got my diesel emissions done too ) They located a coolant leak while the truck was there, it turned out to be the EGR unit (the oil cooler was fine). They fixed it all at a great rate. Lake Arbor is hands down the best mechanic shop I've ever been too. Thanks for focusing on the customer guys.
