We broke down with 12 hours left in our drive home and had our vehicle towed to Nik’s shop. He was the only mechanic open in the area that weekend, and we are incredibly grateful he was. Nik immediately began diagnosing the issue, was upfront and honest about the repairs, and had us back on the road within five hours. Unfortunately, the vehicle broke down again on our way home. When we brought it to our local dealership, they confirmed it was the same sensor Nik had replaced — but determined the sensor itself was faulty. This was not Nik’s fault; it was just an unfortunate defective part. Since our dealership replaced the sensor again, the car has been running great. Nik quite literally saved us from being stranded for days. Without him, we would have likely been stuck until other shops reopened. We truly appreciate his responsiveness, honesty, and willingness to help us in a stressful situation. We’re very thankful for the help he gave us and highly recommend him and his work.

Nic was great, wonderful customer service and most of all, honest! So glad I found him to do my brakes and rotor replacement! I really appreciate the time he spent to make sure all the noises in my car was fixed and the follow-up check up too! Highly recommend and will definitely go back to him in the future!

Very quick response time. We had a date set to get my car looked at within 12 hours and then my brakes were replaced within 3 days. I would recommend.

Nik was amazing! he took my call wednesday evening, my truck was over heating in the pouring rain and I believed it to be a leak somewhere. He saw us that evening and diagnosed the problem right away. I knew we came to the right guy when he r ought out the pressure system testing equipment. Had the parts ordered right away. it was a water pump gasket but we replaced the entire pump and had an oil change too. dropped the truck off Thursday night and picked it up Friday afternoon. Nik was amazing, very chill, friendly and professional. I will be telling all our friends about him. Can’t recommend enough :)

Top class work.. transparent with process and realistic with diagnosis. Nik's Auto Repair is a beacon of a place to get serviced by. If you're looking for a place that has affordable pricing based on the difficulty of job, hes the place to check out. The job got done right and efficiently, with the schooling and experience he has; im not surprised how easily booked up he can get. I suggest do it the right way and trust the professional at Nik's.

I found Nik on Google looking for a mechanic when my car had issues late in the evening. He sent me his address and offered to look at my car despite it being 10pm! Luckily it was a quick fix and I was on my way! Nik was super friendly and helpful and I appreciate that he took the time to help me out not only late in the evening but with only a half hour notice that I was coming.

He did not work on my car due to distance ( my car was not driveable). However, he proceeded to rearrange, his schedule and stayed with me via text the whole day giving me peace that it most likely isn't major. I jumped the gun and went to someone closer, but he was willing to come to me the next day had I not. I honestly can tell you go here, as he is dedicated to resolving your issue. Although I got someone closer, I'd not hesitate to recommend or get others to go here 💜

The questions people ask us every week.

Answered here so you are not waiting on a chat reply at 9 pm.

How much is an oil change?
Full synthetic with a multi-point check. European cars from $250 plus tax.
from $180 + tax
How much is the pre-purchase inspection?
Inspection, road test and a photo report you can show the seller.

Do you do AC refills?
Yes. We check for leaks first, then recharge. A refill on a leaking system is money wasted, so we say so.
