Took our vehicle to Nippon Auto Works recently. Needed work done on the suspension and was given a quote by the dealership. The owner, Dave, was super responsive even with his busy schedule. He did an assessment and gave us a great price quote which was way cheaper than the dealership quote. When we turned the car in, he also noticed it needed additional repairs and continued with great pricing and still got the work done super fast. I can see why they're one of the top rated independent shops in the area. I highly recommend Dave and Nippon Auto Works and will be a returning customer if I ever need work completed. Thanks Dave! read more

The family that owns this business is truly so kind, honest, and hard-working. I would recommend any good friend or family to this shop. They worked on my Acura this week, and were so honest about the work they completed. They saved me hundreds of dollars. This family business is truly one of a kind. read more

Dave is simply the best. We only have Japanese cars and he's certified master mechanic No upsells here but he'll make recommendations to keep you on the road; not sure if he does financing though like the other shops (which is a practical bait and switch tactic) read more

I took my Honda in for service as it was having battery/power issues. Unfortunately, I had to get it towed in. He kept me informed on what he was going to do and was always transparent with any costs that were going to be involved prior to any work being done. Dave was thorough and once I got my car back, it was running better than ever as he even improved a previous brake pad job that was rubbing & making noises. It's rare you have faith and confidence in mechanics these days, but Dave is honest and I never felt like I was getting hustled. Quality work at fair prices, we will bring our cars here from here on out. Thank you, Dave! read more

I brought in my wife's TOYOTA RAV4 for multiple mechanical issues, Dave Nishioka was extremely professional, He found the issues right away and perfectly fixed with very fair pricing, Honest, Great customer service!!!‍‍ read more

Great family owned business very reasonable and nice to work with. Very fast and reliable

Dave has 5 stars for a reason. Honest and quality work at a fair price. He has worked on several cars for my family and I. I will continue to trust Dave's work and price. The best! read more

Nippon Auto Works enhanced the performance of an old Scion XB. New engine mounts stopped all the vibration and shaking when at stop lights. An engine tune up gave the engine back some pep it used to have, making driving more enjoyable. Air conditioning with new compressor made the summer bearable again. All work done well and prices were very fair. Located on Stephanie between Galleria Mall and Russell. read more

Dave is so nice and honest. He fixed my spark plugs, air filter and changed my oil. He also checked my breaks and told me they aren't due yet. He was able to do a lot in the time I gave him. There will be a wait since he is thorough and he's only a 2 person team fyi. Definitely would come back again. Thanks Dave! Glad I found you here on Yelp. read more

Dave is probably the best mechanic in town. He would not try to overcharge and rip you off or recommend you in any other services you don't need. His skills were very impressive that the car was fixed in no time and how accurate his diagnosis is. I'm very pleased with the shop. ありがとう ございます! read more

Our entire family has been having our vehicles serviced by Dave for years. He is honest, accommodating, and reasonably priced. It is so hard to find an honest mechanic in Las Vegas/Henderson. I pray he never retires! read more

Dave did the 30000 maintenance check on my car Lexus 2020 IS300 including an oil change and was great. Even though it's a little far for me to go, he is my new go to mechanic and worth the drive. read more

I don't live in Henderson/LV, but I have family here. My Toyota developed a coolant leak while I was visiting, and my parents recommended Dave @ Nippon Auto Works. I'm a meticulous, quality and customer service-obsessed person and a huge car guy. I'm glad that I went to Nippon Auto Works. Dave was so friendly and accommodating, even though he was busy. He communicated during his diagnosis, and fixed the issue for a very reasonable cost. If it says anything, I would have happily paid more for the work. Details and experience matter and great mechanics are very hard to find these days. I might have to schedule some planned maintenance work with Dave the next time I visit. read more

Fast, reliable inexpensive, trustworthy. I take my Lexus to him and I totally trust that they will not try to scam me or do unnecessary repairs. read more

I've been doing business here for 2 years. Most shops these days are simply a remove and replace kind of auto shop. Nippon Auto has mechanics that can FIX things. I have many auto places much closer to home but I'll drive the extra miles to get quality work and courtesy service. Bonus tip: his prices are always fair. read more

I was referred to Dave at Nippon Autoworks by a lady I casually met at Costco Tire shop.... and gave it a try, to make the story short....I was very impressed with his work, competitive pricing, and most of all, he's honest. For sure I'll come back when my vehicle needs service. Thanks. read more

Great Shop, excellent work. The owner, David has shown himself to be a honest and trust worthy individual. I was pleased with the work so much so that I left a $20 tip.. I know its not much but I thought he deserved it. Joel A. read more

Great service! And honest!! This is by far the best place in Henderson! Heck in vegas for me!

Dave is the best mechanic I've ever been to. He's honest, he works hard, and always gets the job done. Most shops try to upsell you on a bunch of crap you don't need, but not this place. Dave has actually tried to save me money on numerous occasions. I will never take my cars anywhere else. read more

I scheduled my appointment and everything went super smoothly. I asked Dave to check my brakes that were making metal grinding sounds for a quick run down if anything else was wrong with my 2010 Honda Civic. My brakes work perfectly now and he told me nothing else seemed wrong with the car. He was very quick and his prices were super reasonable. Nippon Auto Works is going to be my go-to auto shop from now on. read more

My wife and I have been bringing our vehicles here for years! The shop owner Dave is honest, responsive and always provides top notch service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this shop to anyone. read more

Brought in 2 vehicles to have their oil changed, but my family has had a fair amount done by this shop in the past. The lobby is pleasantly arranged, and the work is done quickly. Mr. Nishioka is an honest professional who extends fair quotes, and I will be conducting all of my business here in the future. read more

Dave is always fast and efficient for my Prius oil and filter change! Highly recommended Dave!

David is amazing- Honest, upfront, thorough and fast. His prices are more than fair and he will communicate what you need and what you don't need. Best mechanic I've had. read more

I was in a pickle because the steering on my 2003 sienna went out, but they were able to get me in. Not only were they able to get the parts quickly, but repairs were super fast. David is a wonderful, hardworking and honest man. When I first took it in, I was worried that I'd be spending more than my budget allowed (as I had with previous mechanics). To my surprise and delight, the price was extremely reasonable, and the quality of service simply cannot be overstated. I will be bringing all my vehicles here for future services. honestly 20/10 for every thing! thank you so much! read more

Dave the owner is very accommodating, up front & doesn't price-gauge you. Very friendly & respectable. Other places STILL try to upsell or take advantage of females, but not Dave. I will continue to go to him for all my vehicle needs. read more

I've been going here for a while and I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Dave has been very honest and trustworthy with my car's needs. He and his wife have been very accommodating while I'm there and I love the drinks and snacks in the waiting area. I'm so glad I found a mechanic I can always go back to. read more

Brought in my old Lexus IS300 for some much needed repairs(rack & pinion leak and other issues). Spoke to Dave who is very knowledgeable and also very honest about the what is needed and what is not worth spending money on. I was looking for someone in Henderson that really knows Japanese cars and am very happy that I found this place. read more

What am AWESOME guy this Dave is. I was trying to find a mechanic closer to home, in case I had to walk home, and was fortunate enough to find Dave. He told me to bring in my car at 2:00 PM on a Saturday so he can take a look, even though he closes at 2:00 PM. After 15 to 20 minutes of trying to determine what may be causing the leak, he provided me with a couple options, and didn't even charge me for the initial visit. All I can say is "WOW". Looking forward to seeing you next week, as well as all my future automotive needs. ***Edit 3/22/18*** After Dave cleaned up the oil in my engine compartment, oil once again accumulated in the engine compartment, so I brought my van back and left it with him for a day. The cause of the leak was as he expected, so he was able to order the parts, and have it fixed by the following morning. It's been a little over a week now and no more oil leak. Thank you again Dave for an awesome job and great service. read more

I wished I had found Dave sooner. He has since pre inspected several vehicles for me to purchase. Honest & reliable. Cost is competitive. He is and will be maintaining my 6 vehicles. All Honda and Toyota. read more

The owner of this shop is amazing. He remembers your name. His price are VERY reasonable and he warranty his work. He worked on my husbands Yukon and my Monte Carlo. I recommend him to anyone needing work. I can't say enough nice thing about this company and owner. read more

I took my cars to Dave for many years before leaving Vegas and was one of the most honest mechanics that I have ever met. His prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend him. read more

I manage an Auto Repair Shop in Los Angeles and was looking for a local shop for my parents who live in Henderson. Found Nishioka-san through the Las Vegas Japan Times magazine and after seeing all the stellar reviews on Yelp I made general maintenance appointment with Nishioka-san. I was greeted upon arrival and my car went into the bay on time. 30 minutes later the car was done and pulled out of the bay for me to drive. Nishioka-san is very friendly and approachable. My parents will be bringing their cars to Nishioka-san from now on. read more

Amazing work! One of the few shops I can really trust. He always calls to let me know if something else is wrong, before working on it. Unlike other shops who will rack up your bill without letting you know. read more

Second time here. This guy is polite, prompt, let's say beyond prompt. I'm here 45 mins early and he's taking my car back . Very reasonably priced. My car takes a crazy oil OW-20 and he is keeping in stock . I would recommend him to all Mazda owners. read more

Nippon Auto Works - Check it out.. he even has snacks. - Auto Repair Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR'S HEALTH, DON'T BRING IT HERE. HE CAN'T DO BASIC SERVICES AS A MECHANIC SHOULD BE ABLE TOO. IF YOU DO, PROCEED WITH CAUTION AND DOUBLE CHECK HIS WORK IMMEDIATELY. DON'T BLINDLY BELIEVE THE POSITIVE REVIEWS, THEY ARE DUE TO INCENTIVES HE GIVES FOR THEM. I brought my vehicle in for Transmission Fluid Drain and fill, Oil Change Throttle body clean, and suspension/motor/mounts checked. He quoted me $135 and he stuck to the quote. I was wondering why it was relatively cheap. Dave is the worst mechanic in the industry. Lacks proper tools, very rough with handling the vehicle, and does a subpar service. Dave overfilled my transmission fluid and engine oil by a significant amount which caused a significant amount of leaks in both my engine and transmission. If I hadn't caught it in time, it could have cause irreparable damage to both the transmission and engine. He did clean my throttle body, but there was still a bit of carbon in there and what ever he used may have contributed to my motor knocking. His roughness broke my intake boot. He told me it was already torn, but I had it replaced almost a year ago and rubber doesn't degrade that quickly and I garage my vehicle and dont drive that much either. Maybe 8000mi a year. I saw how he was handling my car and I am not surprised he broke it and refuses to admit it. Its a plus to have a battery powered dash cam hidden hood's insulation of my vehicles for maintenance purposes. I only review it when I feel the car is not running well which is rare. I am not that paranoid. He said he repaired the boot, but yea his repair was a strand of electrical tape. Really Dave... 1 strand Electrical tape. You dont have wire ties let alone gorilla tape??? I asked if it will last till my next oil change, which I do in six month intervals, he said yes!!! Really, you think 1 strand of electrical tape will handle all the bumps and g's one's vehicle incurs. He also shot my hood struts, I know they were getting worn, but he completely shot it to the point where lifting the hood just drops back down. After all this, I went to my trusted mechanic. They were always good to me and always find ways to save me money. They fixed all of Dave's negligent service for about $1526.42. I asked Dave for a refund and to pay for the invoice. He refused to pay for the invoice, but he claims he refunded me, but I dont see it yet. I will have to wait and see. I was about to take this to court, but the time off work to go to court costs more than winning the case against Dave. If he keeps up this mediocre work, he will probably be out of business anyways. Dave's work feels like he looked up a quick youtube video to do the work. A warning to everyone, check his work if you plan to come here for servicing, otherwise look elsewhere. This is a one man shop, Dave does all the repairs and long term will suck the money out of you due to negligence and lack of proper tools and procedures to do a decent job. I could have done the job myself and could have done a better job. I come to a mechanic to get knowledgeable input in any issues with the car and not to have the car running like its on its last legs when I leave the garage. Word of advice to Dave: FIND ANOTHER PROFESSION!!! UPDATE: He did indeed refund my money, but did not pay for the invoice due to the damage incurred due to his negligence and idiocy. Will never come back here again. read more

Needed someone to repair my oil and power steering leaks on my minivan before driving to LA. Found this business via Yelp and was super happy with Dave's work and willingness to squeeze me in on Friday into Saturday morning. Not only was Dave pleasant but his repair price was great - I had a quote from another shop at double what Dave charged. He's now my go-to mechanic in Vegas. Highly recommend! read more

What a great mechanic! I first brought my car to be fixed about 8 months ago and David did an amazing job.
