            My son and I took his car to Lakeside Auto Recyclers on 5/8/2023 to be sold for scrap metal. At the inbound scale window my son was quoted $****** scrap price. The yard removed the car from the trailer we hauled it on. When we were weighed on the outbound scale, my son went to the window and was told he would only be paid $****** due to an aftermarket exhaust system on the car. I know for a fact that the original exhaust was on that vehicle, I bought the vehicle new and sold it to my son last year. Was in contact with the manager (Nick) yesterday 5/9/2023 and he still insisted it had a aftermarket exhaust. Today 5/10/2023 I called to see if I cut it out and look for factory markings and was told it had already been scrapped. We are out $******. This is a deceptive business practice and dishonest.

            Someone had Lakeside Auto Recyclers tow my registered and insured car from my driveway. Lakeside took a fake title for an Explorer for my Buick. The car ran, just needed new brakes. Very sketchy workers, and the office help does not tell the truth. Car taken 9/21/23 and crushed the same day.

            Lakeside Auto Recyclers Response

            10/04/2023

            Lakeside was not aware that this vehicle was involved in a crime ring of people creating fake titles.  Lakeside has given the police all the information available and has been working with the police to catch the people responsible.  Lakeside and their employees have done nothing wrong in this instance or any other instance involving these people creating fake titles.  That can be proven by the police, we have a good relationship and work with them always.
