Helpful answers from a shop you can trust
What drivers need to know before and after service
At Nick’s Auto Service, we believe informed customers make better decisions about their vehicles. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear. If you do not see your question here, our team is always happy to help.
How do I find a repair facility I can trust?
Start by asking people you trust, like family, friends, and coworkers, for recommendations. A shop with a strong local reputation is often a good sign. You can also check with organizations like the Better Business Bureau to learn more about a shop’s reliability before you need repairs.
What should I look for when choosing a repair shop?
Look for a shop that has the proper diagnostic equipment and trained technicians. Modern vehicles rely on computer systems, so accurate diagnostics are critical. A shop without the right tools or experience may not be able to properly identify or repair issues.
Why shouldn’t I choose a shop based on price alone?
While saving money is important, the lowest price does not always mean the best value. You are paying for quality parts, proper diagnostics, and the experience of trained technicians. Cutting corners can lead to bigger problems and higher costs down the road.
What makes a technician qualified?
ASE certification is a strong indicator of a technician’s skill and training. Certified technicians are required to stay up to date with ongoing education and testing, ensuring they can properly service today’s advanced vehicles.
What kind of warranty should I expect?
Most reputable shops provide a written warranty on parts and labor. Many offer at least a 12 month or 12,000 mile warranty, and some include nationwide coverage for added peace of mind when traveling.
Are all auto parts the same?
Not all parts are created equal. Quality, brand-name parts are typically built to meet or exceed manufacturer standards, which helps them last longer and perform better. Choosing the right parts can make a big difference in the longevity of your repair.
Why is a customer satisfaction policy important?
A shop that stands behind its work gives you added confidence. Customer satisfaction policies help ensure that any concerns are addressed and that your vehicle is repaired correctly.
What are your hours of operation?
We are open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We are closed on weekends and most major holidays.
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are recommended but not always required. You can schedule a drop-off service or, for smaller jobs, request a while-you-wait appointment. Calling ahead helps us better serve you.
What warranty do you offer?
Most qualifying repairs are backed by a 12 month or 12,000 mile warranty on parts and labor. When using a NAPA credit card, that coverage may extend to 24 months or 24,000 miles. Nationwide warranty coverage is also included for added peace of mind.
