Lamb's Automotive Inc Is Permanently Closed

We are very sorry to report, that after 40 years shared with our customers, Lamb’s Automotive Inc. has permanently closed. A number of factors have recently converged and contributed to our closing:   

1. Recent issues with Lake County Building and Zoning required alterations that we could not perform.  
2. The impending sale of the building, that we are located in, has restricted our future within the building.
3. After already being shorthanded, last February we lost a technician due to health reasons and have been unable to find more than part time replacements, in spite of extensive and expensive efforts in recruiting.
4. My own personal health issues, at age 67, have restricted my activity in the shop.

We are very proud of the honest and quality service that we have offered, the relationships we have formed, and the bonds we have made with our customers over the years. We have customers that have come to us for 3 generations, and we thank you all for your loyalty and your trust.  

As our part in that trust relationship, we felt an obligation to find another shop in the area to take care of our valued customers, so that you can continue to have that same peace of mind when getting your car repaired. We have found such a shop. They are local, honest, offer excellent service, and have a pricing structure similar to ours. They will not be selling you items that you don’t need, and will help establish priorities on those services that you do need. They will have access to your vehicle history with us. They have also agreed to honor any warranties on past services that we have performed and have even extended that warranty. I would like to introduce you to:

When you call them for an appointment, please tell that that John Lamb sent you, and they promise to take special care of you. If any special circumstances arise that I can help with, David and Ron at Advanced VTech, know how to reach me.  

Best wishes to all of you, and we have enjoyed our relationships with you.
