Nick's Auto Service & Tire

I needed my car taken care of as quickly as possible after having my car break down on me. I just moved to the Detroit area and need my car to get to my internship everyday. I’m so thankful Nick and the rest of the crew worked on my car so quickly. I also appreciate the pricing being in the range it should be rather then over charging. They fixed exactly what I was thinking may be the issue and my car is driving great! I would recommend coming here 100%

I drove to Michigan from the chicago land area for a bowling tournament on friday afternoon and my tramission fluid began leaking from where the line goes into the trans cooler on the radiator when I reached my hotel. I ended up taking my car to this shop the next morning where they charge an outrageous vehicle inspection fee when all there doing is visually inspecting where I said the issue was happening. $142 to tell me what I told you the problem was.My hands were kind of tied behind my back because I needed my car to be fixed that day in order to drive back. So after the 15min inspection, I get a call from the shop saying the fitting the trans line goes into rusted out and that I needed a new radiator(already knew that). So I ask if I can just purchase a universal trans cooler to just bypass the trans cooler on the radiator and they tell me no because it might get to hot (in 20°weather). So after he tells me $780 for a radiator on a 06 galant, I decided to take my vehicle down the street and got it done for almost half the price I was quoted. I'm back home and had no issues on the 4hr ride back home. I gave 1 star because at least they did open on time. This place to me really over inflate there prices because they think no one knows about cars. No I wouldn't recommend them.

Nicks Auto the Plymouth location, takes advantage of seniors and others. They tried to take a deposit of $2000 for a repair that should have cost about $700. Then they claimed they have to replace the engine and that was going to be about 13,000 like what!) when he said don’t do that, just, give me my car back. They left it sitting on their lot still torn apart for about 5 more days deliberately. They ended up charging home about $1600. Be aware of this place… run to another! Shame on this business, its people and especially the manager!

I cannot even begin to explain the experience we just had with Nick's. I should have read the negative reviews to see what kind of people they truly were before going in. All started out great. We were looking to purchase a truck with "rear end noise" and brought it in for an inspection prior to purchase asking for them to check and see if the noise was a differential or bearing issue. When we returned, we were told they couldn't fully look because they couldn't find the tire key...which was right in the glovebox and I found it in .5 seconds... we then had them look and Steve came back in and said "Great News! It's a bearing issue (repair est. $850) and we can replace the axle, not a differential issue (repair est. $2400)." With this knowledge, and an inspection report stating the differentials "passed", we went ahead and purchased the truck, and brought it back to them the next morning to make the repairs we discussed previously. This is when things got strange. We got a call late in the day that the parts were fixed but the rear end was still making noise and it WAS in fact the differential that needed replacement, adding an additional few thousand dollars to our bill. Since we only bought the vehicle because we were told this was NOT the issue, we were very disappointed. (They kept back peddling saying they didn't tell us that it wasn't the issue.. although 3 of us heard the same thing...and that the inspection report was for "visual inspection" even though it wasn't and the report specifically says to check the differentials for the cause of rear end noise) We were told they couldn't get us a quote until Monday, so Monday we got a call that it would be an additional $2600 fix, but they'd give us a break at $2200, and include a free axle for the other side of the truck, which was not reported as needing replacement, so my husband asked if they would consider just taking the price of the axle they already replaced off and not give us the free additional same part we don't need. Keep in mind we are on a budget and thought repairs would total $1400 from their inspection, and now are being told we will be at $3600 even with a "break". This is when all hell broke lose and we saw their true colors. Steve flipped a switch and went off on my husband saying they didn't trust us, they didn't think we would pay them, that we're "asking for too much?", and swore at him. We just asked a question and had no intention or thought of going elsewhere with the job until this happened. They would not allow us to speak to Marty (who we had gotten along with great the day before), or give us his number to clear the air as to what the heck just happened. They said we could no longer pay with cards or check and could only pay cash because we seemed like the kind of people who wouldn't pay them (like what?? because we asked a question?) After trying to reason with them and say we're confused and have no idea why they feel this way or what just switched to make them treat us this way, we no longer trusted them having our truck in their possession, so our FIL went to pick up the truck and sure enough, they refused to let him pay by debit, credit, or check, and we had to go to the bank and get cash because they didn't trust US after THEY made a mistake. It was then that we noticed a review from 3 months ago stating their experience after the shop made a mistake...seems like a similar experience to ours. Everyone makes mistakes, but this was unlike anything we have ever experienced. There is so much more, but please just AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.

Definitely the best auto shop I’ve ever been too. Had my car at “mechanic one” off joy road, they were treating me like absolute garbage. Had my car towed to nicks auto and they took wonderful care of me. Got the repairs done for less than half of what mechanic one was telling me. They treated me with respect and didn’t act like I was stupid because of my lack of knowledge about cars. They did my repair in less than two days and kept me updated along the way. They understood my financial situation and didn’t give me a hard time when I asked to go with an aftermarket part. Normally taking my car in for repairs makes me insanely anxious, not knowing if I’m being price gouged, feeling like I’m being talked down too. But not at nicks. I will be definitely coming back and recommending to my friends and family. Thank you Nick!!
