I called Nick earlier today & asked how much he charges for an alignment. He asked the make & model of my vehicle & whether I needed front-end or four-wheel alignment. I told him four-wheel, he asked what time I could arrive & I said within the next 30 minutes. Nick said OK as he'd be finished with the car he was working on. I arrived within 20 minutes & decided to park on a residential street behind the main road, which was extremely busy. The shop is located within a cluster of other auto shops, so the driveway was a bit crowded & I felt more comfortable walking over first to get a better look. I spoke to Nick & then brought my vehicle around. Within minutes, Nick informed me that only my front wheels needed alignment, which would lower the price. And within 10 minutes or so, he was done! I almost couldn't believe how fast he completed the job, to which he replied "When you've been doing this for as long as I have, you know what you're doing. It doesn't take long." When I got back on the road, the wheel was perfectly centered so I knew the job was done correctly. Nick was a friendly guy & I appreciated his honesty. Thanks Nick! read more

Went to Nicks for a wheel alignment on my BMW E36 M3. He was professional and straight to the point. He did the work quickly and gave me paperwork showing what he did and even showed me the before and after settings on his computer. I have three other cars that need to have wheel alignments and will definitely return. I shopped around and the price was very reasonable. If you need a wheel alignment I strongly recommend this business. read more

Nick (Nerces) is a reliable and honest mechanic. I have trouble trusting anyone nowadays, but I know Nick is the kind of man who is humble and a master in his trade. Needed a tire alignment and was referred to him. I called and made an appointment to take my car in. He was quick - waited about 20 minutes for my Toyota (usually can take up to an hour). He is located in between other shops. When pulling in, he is the one on the far left. It is a busy street, so give yourself ample time in regards to traffic. It's hard to know who to trust nowadays, but my intuition has never failed me. I'm glad I was referred to him. Nick pulled my car in in reverse to make it easier for me to pull out of the driveway. He also took his time to educate me on how my tires have been burning and what to look out for. I will definitely be referring more people to him, especially since it's always a good idea to know a good mechanic. Nick is definitely the one. Thank you for the seamless experience! read more

Nick is an honest mechanic and he charges a fair price for good work for alignments, breaks, and tire rotation. If I don't need something, he tells me. Also, my friend, a lady, tells me Nick treats her fairly and has shared the prices and work she received. I remember from the past how some shops are biased and take advantage of women customers. Nick treats everyone fairly and will go the extra mile to make sure your car gets what it needs. read more

After getting a tire replaced, I discovered that my car's alignment was absolutely horrible (no wonder it was eating tires like it's at an all-you-can-eat buffet) so I needed to find an alignment shop ASAP, especially since I had planned to leave for an out of state road trip in a few days. Nick's was just down the street from the tire shop so I figured I would swing by - he able to get my alignment done fast and, while doing so, he noted that my brakes were due to be replaced so I decided to have that done as well. He also noticed the annoying 'clunk' sound that had plagued my front end since I got the car back from having warranty work done by Carmax before the pandemic - and fixed it in just a few minutes (Carmax wanted to charge me hefty diagnostic fees and gave me the runaround for what ended up being a single bolt that they failed to tighten fully) As a woman, it's hard to find an honest shop where the work is top notch (although, as a woman who works on her classic car as a hobby, I'm able to spot the BS when someone is dishonest) - Nick's is definitely one of those rare gems in the auto mechanic world! I highly recommend this shop! The owner is super friendly, knowledgeable and there's even complimentary coffee/soda/tea/water if you choose to hang around while the work is being done. I'll definitely be coming back for any future alignment and brake needs! read more

So I went to get my cars alignment done with my bf we had just lowered my car, we went in and since it was closer than my go to spot and we were able to be seen without appointment I guess it was convenient...uhhhh I'm not a cheap person don't get me wrong especially when it comes down to my cars, but 120 for a wait of a hour and still pulling to the right was not worth it. This isn't my first lowered car so his excuse was it's lowered it's not going to be perfect.... Sir I called ahead of time to verify if you had the proper equipment to perform what I needed with efficiency. Overall imma take my ass to Glendale took me 2weeks to get over the scammed feeling Lol. read more

Great mechanic who knows his craft. I walked in for alignment and things were a little busy, but Nick finished the car he was working on in 15 minutes and then did mine in 25. He showed me the old measurements as well as the new, and answered all my questions. Quick, easy, and the price was right. read more

My jeep has been out of alignment for an entire year due to the fact that shop after shop has excuse after excuse I have gone to well over 80 shops in Los Angeles. Nobody would do an alignment I came to NICK not only did he do the alignment got the steering wheel straight which everybody said wasn't possible, he took the time to look at what actually needed to be done instead of being scared and making excuses he tightened up multiple bolts which were just loose and he adjusted the tie rod, because whoever else worked on it before, did not know what they were doing when they put it on, so he simply took the time and knew what he was doing after shop after shop kept saying everything was fine this guy fixed everything and it's driving perfectly now only $130 I was getting estimates $6000 and up trying to charge me for a new gearbox. He simply tightens some bolts that were connecting it that were loose from my stereo system read more

I was referred to Nicks from across the street at the Oxnard's Tires (Castle). I've brought a few of my clients vehicles (Teslas and Porsches) here for alignment. Nick has taken care of me each and every time. He's quick and efficient and gets the job done. I'll definitely continue doing business with Nick. I definitely recommend this spot. read more

Got my 4runner aligned today. Went there about 6 years ago and the place looks the same and so does Nick. Made early morning Sat appt and he was right on time. NIck works quickly and efficiently and you can see he takes the time to adjust correctly. He also takes your vehicle on a test drive after alignment to make sure it drives properly. Prices are still very fair for the quality of service. read more

Went here for an alignment after I installed a set of eibach lowering springs. The car barely made it onto the ramp with a scrape. Service was fast and professional. While waiting I saw a muffler shop and decided to upgrade my exhaust tips. Both places did an amazing job. $80 for the alignment. $100 for the tips. read more

Nick is one of the most Honest, professional, human beings I have ever met. Have been driving an hour away from my home for 8 years to get my cars serviced here. Highly recommend! read more

Nick is a true professional. Such a perfectionist and a real classic handy man. My 90s heavy duty truck was a big pain and he did everything to get the alignment right. He even pointed out how my brake line was leaking. Thank you Nick! Really appreciate you! read more

I just called this place and got an estimate to change my springs on my 96 Mustang GT. The guy who I spoke with asked me if I had gotten other estimates, I told him I did between 200-400, he told me that 400 was a good price because it takes 4 hours labor. After laughing and thanking him for his time, he called me an asshole and hung up on me. This is a perfect example of a business trying to rip people off and then getting an attitude for not going for it. Stay away from these thieves. read more

On Saturday, July 6, 2013, my car was serviced for an alignment at Nick's Alignment. I was referred to him by a local tire supplier. Prior to visiting, I called to see what time would be the best time to come in. Nick patiently informed me that he was working on two other vehicles and suggested that I come in about twenty minutes. Due to other obligations, I couldn't make it there within that time frame. Surprisingly, he called to check to see if I was still going to make it and he waited for me after business hours! Once I arrived, he immediately began working on it and explained in detail what needed to be fixed. After the job was completed, he confirmed the three calculated measurements and the corrected adjustments. I tried to tip him for the great service (from start to finish), however he strongly but kindly refused and said, 'It is my job." That alone portrays how dedicated and passionate he is about his work. I agree, Nick IS honest, professional and has excellent customer service. I would definitely return in the future for an alignment, oil change or any other minor services. read more

Nick is a professional, and he's a great guy on top of that. I had a lowered car that needed alignment and was not your ordinary job. Nick was one of the only people to agree to do it and he went above and beyond. Took care of me and for that I am very grateful. This town is filled with mechanic shops, but good people are very hard to find. Nick knows what he's doing! To the guy complaining about caliper Pistons...no one is changing Pistons on a $50 caliper. You buy a new caliper. If you need alignment etc..go here and shake Nicks hand. I have had too many cars to count over the years and one thing I've learned is the relationship you build with your mechanic is just as important as the job. Tony read more

Nick is an honest man and a great mechanic with good prices. I needed an alignment on my 2007 Nissan Versa and Nick corrected the misalignment and explained everything to me. He even let me know the condition of my tires & brakes and rotated my tires free of charge. Best $60 I've ever spent on an alignment! I know a lot about cars but I do not have an alignment machine ;) So I knew Nick was telling me the truth on everything. To the guy who left a 1 star comment. Your friend who got into your head also forgot to tell you that nearly all mechanics are bolt/off and on mechanics and not machine shop specialists... It takes special machines to remove pistons from calipers and i don't know anyone who just didn't replace the whole caliper just to be completely safe. Nearly every brake shop you would have went to would just have replaced the caliper. Plus, bigger car parts like that incur a "core charge", like when you buy a new car battery. If you ever want to keep your old stuff, you'll have to pay the mechanic for it because then they are stuck with the core charge from the new part supplier. Hope that made sense, message me if you need more info/details. Nick is located in the back left corner of all the mechanics in that little block. I didn't get good cell service (Verizon) inside his shop so keep that in mind if you are needing to be on your phone. read more

I had my 2009 Ford Focus SEL's brakes checked because of the vibration I feel when driving. It turned out that the brake pads were worn out already and the rotors needs rephasing and there was a problem with the caliper. Nick replaced the brake pads and the entire caliper because of a 'leak' on the caliper. Nick said that the calipers need replacement for both front wheels (Left and Right) for $80.00 each (160 total). Being a non car guy, I obliged just to have the car repaired. Had an oil change also just to be on the safe side and time convenience. Told my car guy friend about the procedure made on my car the next day. To my surprise, the one Nick said that was 'leaking' and busted is a caliper piston that can be replaced for 16.99 per set (2pcs). I felt cheated for revenue! Nick did not even gave back my old caliper (2sets)! My friend told me that Nick just got himself a 2 caliper sets that can be repaired easily for less than 50 bucks. The service he did in terms of change oil and rotor rephasing (machine shop) is good. The whole brake pads and caliper replacement is unfair/dishonest. read more

If you like to be ignored and bad customer service, this is the place for you. After patiently waiting for 20 minutes for this place to open, i was asked what he could do. When I began to explain, a mechanic from the neighbor shop came up and started speaking Armenian. Then they both walked off and ignored me without a word. Obviously, I went to someone else that wanted my business. read more

Efficient, no waiting, and well done. A friend had recommended Nick and I totally agree. You can trust him to do a good job while you wait for your car. It was convenient and not crowded at all. read more

It was a pleasure to have my car aligned at Nick's, the work was very professional and carefully done. My alignment was way out of specifications--I really thought I'd be told I'd need major work done--but Nick made the effort and made it perfect, Highly recommended! read more

I took my car in yesterday and nick was just so pleasant. I am a female and a lot of mechanics take advantage of that, not nick. I would recommend him to all of my friends and family. He explained everything to me and was just a breath of fresh air. Thank you nick.....I really had a great experience. read more

I recently hit a curb with my right rear wheel and I immediately knew something was seriously wrong with my car. I pulled over and saw the damage and also immediately felt the car pulling to one side. The damage was so severe that I thought I actually bent the suspension which would have cost thousands of dollars to repair. I took the car to Nick's Alignment and he told me that it looked bad, but that he would try his best to align the wheels. 30 minutes later, he was able to get the job done for the price of a simple alignment. Nick too a bad situation and made it better without gouging me. read more

The Absolute Nicest guy you'll ever meet! Super efficient, and fair. Great work. He's helped me keep my 2005 Mazda 3 up and running. Thanks Nick! Will definitely be back. read more

Nick is the most honest professional in the automotive or any other business I have ever encountered. I have been a repeat customer for 8 years. One of my cars, a Jaguar XK8 is "temperamental" and expensive to maintain. Nick keeps it in flawless running condition at a much more reasonable price than a dealer. I would recommend Nick to anyone who wants an honest appraisal of the repairs needed. More than an alignment shop, Nick will either do the job or send you to someone who can. You cannot find a better repair shop in Los Angeles.... read more

I really want to say that this alignment shop is by far one of the best out there, Nick does an awesome job. Very efficient and informative on the condition of alignment, not only did he show me how severely screwed up my alignment was but he showed me a that the driver side tie rod was failing. Definitely worth the time spent there in his shop. I'm glad I went with my gut and chose his shop, I'm 100% coming back with my other vehicles for a top notch job. Thanks again , the car drives like champ. read more

Nick installed two front quick-strut assemblies on my car and performed an alignment. The alignment was off after installation and could have been fixed with a camber adjusting bolt which I would have happily paid an extra $15 for at the time. So now my camber is out of spec. Also the lugnuts were overtightened which resulted in three of the lugnut studs breaking. I'm sure this was an honest mistake with the wrong setting on the impact wrench, but I was charged another $60 labor to replace the studs. read more

Nick is as honest as any mechanic in LA, fast professional service at a very reasonable cost.
