Lakeside Collision II

09/11/2026

Well… this is pretty cool. ❤️

Lakeside Collision 2 was featured in Autobody News!

And when I read the article, what made me emotional wasn’t seeing my name or even reading about how much our business has grown.

It was seeing our story.

Brian’s legacy.
The foundation he and his dad built.
Our small-but-mighty (and VERY scrappy 😂) team.
Our customers.
Our culture.
And the belief that has guided me since I stepped into a business I never expected to run:

“This is not a car business. It’s a people business, and I love people.”

I could never lead Lakeside the way Brian did. So somewhere along the way, I stopped trying.

I decided to lead like Kim — with relationships, communication, transparency.

Kim Starcevich of Lakeside Collision II in Merrillville, Ind., built a culture of honesty that helped her recruit talent and grow sales.

DAY 2 of posting until we find our perfect body tech. 🔧❤️

Why am I holding my granddaughter Everly in a recruiting video? Because this is what work-life balance looks like.

At Lakeside, we work hard and take a lot of pride in what we do—but we also believe there’s more to life than work.

Flexible schedules. Early Fridays. Family first. A place where you’re a person, not a number.

We’re looking for a talented body tech who wants to do great work without giving up the life they’re working so hard for.

Think that might be you? 👀
Come join our Lakeside family.

DAY 1/30 — Posting until we find our perfect Body Tech. 🔧🚗

Here’s reason #1 to come work at Lakeside:

You will never be just a number here.

We’re a small, family-owned shop, and when you join Lakeside, you become part of my family.

I know your name. I know your family. I care about your goals, your life outside of work, and where you want to go in your career.

We work hard. We expect great work. We take a lot of pride in what leaves our shop. But I also believe you can build a great career without feeling like another technician on a corporate spreadsheet.

I’m looking for the right Body Tech to join this crew — someone who wants to be valued, wants to be part of a team, and wants a place they can call home.

Maybe it’s you.
Maybe you know them. 👀

Follow along for the next 30 days while I show you exactly why you should come work with us.

And please SHARE this — our perfect Body Tech might be one share away.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another happy customer—and another Jeep back on the road!

Thank you, John, for the kind words and for trusting Lakeside with your Jeep!

Great repairs and getting you back on the road on time are always important—but so is making sure you feel taken care of throughout the entire process. I truly believe our customers deserve personal attention, clear communication, and a repair we’re proud to put the Lakeside name on.

We may be a small, family-owned shop, but that means your vehicle—and your experience—matter personally to us. ❤️

Thank you, John, for choosing Lakeside Collision 2. We appreciate you!

Storms leave more than fallen trees—they leave people hurting. At Lakeside, we lost a big tree, but besides that we are safe. We understand the region was hit pretty hard. Today, we lift up every family, business, and emergency responder impacted across Northwest Indiana. We’re praying for safety, healing, and God’s peace over our community.
