Lakeside Collision II in Merrillville, Indiana
Family-Owned Collision and Body Repair Shop — Lakeside Collision II
Lakeside Collision II planted its roots in 1999 by father-son duo, Chuck and Brian Starcevich. It soon became a staple in the community for dependable car repair and known for its comforting, friendly atmosphere. Chuck eventually retired and, in 2019, Brian sadly passed on. With the help of Chuck and sister-in-law Charlyn Vlasic, Brian’s wife quickly stepped up and took his place. Kim Starcevich officially became the sole owner of Lakeside Collision II in January 2021. Although Kim’s acquisition of the shop was unexpected, she relays it was one of her best decisions and greatest challenges in life. Kim is dedicated to honoring her late husband’s commitment to his shop by providing that same level of expertise, reliability, and customer service the community has come to know and love from Lakeside Collision II.
