    We've been bringing our vehicles to Nick for about 2 years now. We were preparing to purchase a '98 4Runner for our teenager and wanted to get it checked out before we committed to the purchase. Nick did a detailed inspection and came back with a small list of repairs that would need to be done and what the priority order of these repairs should be. We appreciate his honesty and the repair costs he quoted were absolutely reasonable. It's great to know we have a trustworthy, reliable mechanic around!

    We took a used car to Nick for a buyers inspection and thank God we did...he found a hidden hard to find leak in the coolant system that would have cost us $$...needless to say we didn't buy the car. Nick saved us from buying a used lemon and saved us lot of $$. He's honest, fair, very thorough and reasonably priced. Definitely plan on going back for any future repair work.

    Nick was great! Went there with couple of major tasks. Nick diagnosed the issue and helped solve it quickly. Price was reasonable compared to other similar shops. Recommend this place to everyone.

    I have both cars I own serviced at the shop. It was recommended to me by my friend and colleague a couple of years ago, and since then I have recommended it to a few friends of mine as well. The job quality is always superior, Nick's advices are straightforward, knowledgeable, and helpful. I did my best to recall at least one negative thing about the shop to make this review look more "objective", but I miserably failed. I beg your pardon for that.

    Nick is the best mechanic I have ever had! He has extensive knowledge of vehicles and how to maintain them. He has very reasonable rates and will do his best to make sure all repairs large and small will be as affordable as possible. If you need a good local mechanic, there is no one better than Nick of At the Shop!

    Nick helped me with my second hand Prius in a couple of situations. He solved a hard issue with the electronic key that was making the car start system very unpredictable and he did it much cheaper than in the official Toyota repair house. He also helped me choose good tires when the ones the car had were totally exhausted. I don't know much about cars but I know I can give Nick a call and he will help me promptly.
