I was passing by on interstate, trying to get home to NJ, Nick was able to help me replace rotors and brake pads on my car on Sunday, in the most coldest day outside. If I could give give more stars, I would. He is a professional mechanic, honest and great pricing as well! Thank you Nick!!

Nick showed up to diagnose a repair i needed, but before even doing so, (as i was fairly sure the repair would entail a huge load of serious wrenching) we discussed worst case scenarios . Lets just say the Ford Triton engine is a hassle at times if its high mileage, and at 320,000 miles . I opted to look into a replacement, he recommended a good source for the engine, and i was able to find one with extremely low miles and usage. He got my truck in and out in a very timely manner and was pretty accommodating throughout the entire process, saved me a good amount as his hard labor is very reasonably priced. And i got my SUV back in just the Nick of Time

Nick is the best! My van would not start after the Chiefs playoff game and Nick really saved my butt. He came out on a Sunday in -7 degree weather. He got my van running, so I could get home to my family. His rates were extremely fair and the work he did was very good. I only wish he worked in Springfield. I would use his services for all my automotive needs. So thankful!

On site on time. Professional, and courteous. Nick is honest and upfront. He has the knowledge and doesn't use it to take advantage of people, he uses it to help. Had every steering component replaced, struts, brakes, and diff fluid changed. My truck rides like new!!!! I will continue to use him for every auto repair I need. The convenience of him being mobile is also very nice. I work a tight schedule wich makes it hard for me schedule appointments without taking time off of work. He made it work!!!! Thanks a million Nick!!!!!!!

Absolutely a poor businessman. Did major work on my son's car. We made it 9.8 miles up the road. Called him and he was too busy for 2 days to come even look at it. Pretty shady in itself for a guy that claims he guarantees his work. We had to pay another mechanic to assess it, correct what nick messed up and get our car home. Nick finally comes out and within 5 minutes of that convo it was decided it was best he leave our property. (His claim was not what a reptuble mechanic had already confirmed and his piss poor attitude was nauseating) Customer service was spot on until you pay him. Then you're an inconvenience. ZERO accountability for his service.

Called on a Saturday morning. Nick called back in a reasonable amount of time. Very helpful and professional. We are from out of town, we will definitely use him again if we have car problems in the Kansas City area again.

Said he would be available when I initially contacted him for service, puts 24hr availability for his business and then doesn t respond to texts or calls. Unreliable. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Let me tell you how absolutely stellar this man is! I contacted him online on a Saturday night, after 9pm, and he got right back with me and said he'd be at my hotel in the morning at 9am! On a Sunday! He showed up, on time and had the problem figured out in less than 20 minutes. I am not car savvy in any way shape or form, but this man didn't take advantage of my negligence. Instead he took the time to explain everything in normal language. He drove me to get my part and put it in, even in the rain! He was more than fair, respectful, professional, and I will never contact anybody else for auto repair in Kansas City! This dude is frickin awesome! Did I mention that I drive a Mercedes Benz SL500? He could've raked me over the coals, but he didn't. Stellar Nick, just STELLAR!Service: Steering & suspension repair

He checked my car and said it needed a fuel pump. I paid for the part and labor. He supposedly put on the part but the car would not start. It was doing the exact same thing as when he diagnosed the problem. He said he had to go to another customer but would be back in a little bit. He never showed up. He said he would be back the next day again did not show up. He stopped replying to my texts and won t answer or return my calls. Do not recommend him at all.

Nick was AMAZING! My car wouldn't start, and he came to help me THE DAY I called! He diagnosed the issue within 10 minutes, helped me get a replacement part, and efficiently installed it. He was professional and honest, and the fact that he came to me saved me a huge towing fee. 5 stars all around! Thank you, Nick!Service: Auto engine diagnosticService: Auto engine diagnostic

Nick was awesome. My car was shaking when I pressed the brakes. He first started by greasing the caliper slide pins as they were seized up a little. We went for a test drive and it was still happening, so he told me it was rotors that were probably slightly warped. I went to buy them, he installed them in probably 45 minutes and the car drives like new again. He was personable, worked efficiently, explained things well; overall great experience. Plus, he saved me some money! Highly recommend his services.Service: Brakes

Nick is a true professional & a very down to earth, relatable individual at the same time! He goes the extra mile to assure the best repair possible! He is extremely detail-oriented and charges FAR less than your typical auto repair shop. Nick will give you the BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK, all the while giving you top-notch service! Trust me, you will not be disappointed! Services: Steering & suspension repair, Brake service & repair

My starter went out in my car! He and his friend were very respectful, went to the store to pick up the part for my car and got my car fixed within an hour and a half! 10/10 would recommend

I can not say enough good things about this guy! I have used him on more than one occasion. He was able to come on short notice and repair my vehicle at MY location for a fraction of the cost of other mechanics! Others couldn t even get me in for weeks or months. Our brake line burst and the others were rusting thru. He replaced ALL of the lines. He replaced brake pads. A bolt that I couldn t get back in, he was able to. Someone broke into our vehicle. He replaced door handle and ignition. Best of all-my son was driving when it was negative degrees outside one night. He lost coolant and died on side of road. I live almost 2 hrs away so called Mobile Mechanic Nick to see if he could help. He went over and helped my son and followed him home to make sure he made it because of the cold!!!!! Super awesome guy. Knows what he s doing and very affordable! I just wish he was closer to where I live lol.Services: Tires, Body & Trim, Brakes

Told him issue with the car, he lied and said he couldn't do it but would send his brother over. His brother came and told us he just didn't want to do the work. The brother worked on it one day and then said he would come back the next day. Never showed up and tried to blame us for it. Had to pay a new mechanic to fix the issue. DO NOT USE THIS GUY.

The man has ghosted my whole family. After we paid him for the vehicle to still not work. We definitely got scammed!! We bought the part that he requested us get and we paid the man and he's never came back since then. Watch out!!

Nick and his crew were AMAZING!!! They came out and swapped out my starter in less than an hour. Car started right up. Punctual, efficient, and executed the job flawlessly. Definitely recommend over any other in the area after calling every mobile mechanic around here. They were the only ones that came through in a pinch.

I was stuck on the road with a flat tire. The lug nuts were on so tight that I couldn't get them to budge. Tried calling tow truck with little success. Nick saw me in distress and offered to change the tire at no charge. In no time at all the tire was changed and I was able to continue my journey. Nick was a lifesaver. I had some cash and gave him a tip but it wasn't enough for the kindness that he sharrd with me in my time of need.Service: Tires

My daughter's car was having issues and I was over 4 hours away. It was a holiday day and Nick met her in a public area, diagnosed and fixed the issue. Since it ended up being a quick fix, he only charged his diagnostic fee.I don't know Nick but he saved me from a lot of grief. Thx
