Honest Mechanic Reviews
“Good experience with Nicks from my Bfs prospective. He called to get a quote and Nick was helpful and friendly giving him the information and a rough estimate over the phone depending on the outcome of a diagnosis. We got his truck towed the same day to the shop and Nick kept him informed on the cost to repair the next day and ordered parts. Turnaround time was two days and we were able to pick it up the next day. He was not charged a storage fee overnight but maybe since he had the work done there which was fair. Family owned business near the Peppermill. Fair prices and close to the estimate given. Truck runs like a charm! Will do business here again if needed and recommend!”

“I called Nick's Automotive, and right away was able to take my car in. After less than an hour (and that was even after looking for a part that my car needed) I was on the road. Tony was GREAT! he explained everything to me that they were doing, AND gave me options. I didn't feel forced or tricked into anything. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs automotive service..”

Nick's Automotive provides excellent customer service, as well as, follow-up and down-home personalized service. I went back again to ask a question about general maintenance and Tony remembered me by my first name and even said hi. I know that's not saying much but to remember your customers is a key component to a successful business and that's just what Nick's Automotive is.

“I have been taking my vehicles to Nick's for many years. Tony has always been honest and fair with me. He takes the time to explain everything to me in detail so I can understand what's what. I love the customer service, fast return, thorough inspections, and "done it right the first time" repairs. Thank you, Tony!”

“I brought my stratus in before a big road trip. Tony was super nice and honest with everything my car needed to be done. He flushed all the fluids in my car including giving me a new radiator so I would be safe on my trip. I really appreciated the honesty and genuine care Tony has for all of his clients. This place is awesome and if I need anything else done this will be my new auto shop!”- Jordan P.
“I'm new to Reno, so when my car started running funny and the dreaded check engine light came on, I had no idea where to take it. I did some research and fortunately, Nick's was right down the street and had good reviews. When I got there I was nothing less than impressed. Everyone was very professional and friendly, and I got my car back the same day. My car knowledge is pretty limited, and if I had any questions they were explained in layman's terms without any condescension. You don't normally want to come back to a mechanic - but if I do end up needing to, I'll be coming back here.”
-Nick K.
“Came in with a major rack & pinion issue (2014 Subaru) that needed repair quickly. Nick was extremely helpful, upfront, and professional about the whole process. I had done my research before coming in and even compared several different auto locations but Nick was very honest with his price and got my car done that next day. Highly recommend.

Tony is very knowledgeable and will take the time to explain the issues and provide a detailed summary of the work completed and related charges. My two kids and I all drive (very) high mileage cars and have had the occasion to have our 2 Subaru’s and our Toyota Sienna in for repairs and maintenance ranging from timing belts to air conditioning, transmission flush, and all gaskets and all fluids replaced. The work is very high quality and timely we will definitely always take our cars to Nick’s Automotive.
Anthony/Tony at Nick's Automotive is the most thorough mechanic in the business. He explains everything to you so that you can make an educated decision. I have taken 3 cars to them and have been extremely happy with the timely service and outcome. I trust him with every one of my vehicles. He has been in the business a long time and helps steer you away from others that may do you and your vehicle harm. I will only use Nick's in the future. It's very hard to find a good mechanic...Anthony is a great find!!!
Tony has been so professional and I am very impressed and at ease that my Kia will be taken care of to the best of their abilities! Best mechanics in town!!
Great, honest mechanics. I've been using them for years, they've always been great to deal with. Tony always takes the time to properly diagnose and discuss your options. He always goes above and beyond to be sure that you leave happy and informed about what's going on with your vehicle.
I went in and Tony was very helpful and knowledgeable. He took me in the back and had one of his mechanic guys come to check my car as well. His name was Rick and immediately knew the issue my car had with only taking a quick look. Rick showed me what he was doing and was very satisfied with their services and honest work. They definitely have a customer for life and I will definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thank you, Tony and Rick.
My 97 Jeep broke down on HWY 80, 30 miles East of Reno. Needing a place to get towed, I called Nicks automotive and as luck would have it Tony answered. His knowledge and experience had my Jeep running like a top in a lot less time than I could have and I'm a mechanic! Great shop, awesome people. Competitive pricing!
