Lakeside Auto Center Joins CSN Collision to Bring Premier Collision Repair to Toluca Lake

Toluca Lake, CA – September 2025 – Lakeside Auto Center, a locally owned and operated collision repair shop founded by lifelong car enthusiasts Andre and Edgar in 2024, is proud to announce its partnership with CSN Collision, a leading network of collision repair facilities across North America. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in delivering top-tier collision repair services to the Toluca Lake community.

“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.”

By joining the CSN network, Lakeside Auto Center combines its personalized, customer-first approach with the resources, advanced training, and repair standards of a nationally recognized brand. This partnership ensures every repair is completed to the highest level of quality and safety while backed by CSN’s nationwide warranty.

“CSN shares our core values of honesty, respect, and excellence,” added Edgar. “Being part of their network means we can deliver local, hands-on service while offering our customers the confidence that comes with industry-leading standards and support.”

Located in the heart of the tight-knit Toluca Lake community, home to nearly 10,000 residents, Lakeside Auto Center has quickly become known for its comprehensive in-house capabilities. The shop performs most repairs on-site, including mechanical work, ADAS calibrations, programming, and wheel alignments, minimizing delays and ensuring complete control over quality and timelines.

High-quality collision repair is more than just making a car look new again. Modern vehicles feature advanced safety systems that must be precisely restored to keep drivers and passengers safe. “Poor or incomplete repairs can compromise a vehicle’s integrity and even put lives at risk,” explained Andre. “That’s why we’re committed to ensuring every vehicle leaves our shop safe, reliable, and ready for the road.”

Lakeside Auto Center is equally dedicated to making the repair process simple and stress-free for customers. The team assists with insurance paperwork, provides loaner vehicles, and keeps customers updated at every stage of the repair. This dedication to service has already earned the shop a reputation for honesty, transparency, and care.

One recent customer shared their experience in a review, describing how the team not only repaired their vehicle but also provided seamless communication and a complimentary loaner car, making a difficult situation easier to manage. Stories like this reflect the shop’s mission: to treat every customer and vehicle as if they were their own.

Beyond repairs, Lakeside Auto Center is committed to giving back to the community through initiatives like a local holiday toy drive, donations to the fire department, and active participation in the Chamber of Commerce.

As the shop continues to grow, Andre and Edgar remain focused on their original vision: combining dealership-level professionalism and quality with a personal touch. “We’re here to do more than fix cars,” said Andre. “We’re here to help our community, restore peace of mind, and build lasting relationships based on trust and exceptional service.”
