Unless your vehicle requires premium gasoline, filling up your vehicle with high-octane gas is a waste of money. The premium gas doesn't boost your gas mileage or performance. If you're not sure what grade works best for your vehicle, your owner's manual will tell you. You can also ask your mechanic what grade to use.
Acura offers an appealing mix of performance, technology, and value with its street-performance-oriented RDX compact crossover, the TSX wagon, and the ZDX, a fastback-styled crossover. These models join the popular RL luxury sedan, the midsize TL sedan, and the entry-level TSX sport sedan in Acura's lineup.
Buick is one of America's oldest car brands, with a rich tradition of style and innovation that dates back more than a century. Though recognized for catering to retirement-age car buyers with its full-size sedans, Buick's lineup now includes SUVs and sport sedans designed to attract younger buyers to the Buick brand.
Cadillac is the nation's most prestigious domestic luxury automaker, once known almost exclusively for its high-end sedans. In recent years, Cadillac has successfully updated and expanded its line-up, attracting a new generation of young, affluent buyers. The Escalade is a favorite of rappers, athletes, and young families alike, and the SRX crossover is a sportier option for people on the go.
Founded in 1911, Chevrolet sells an impressively wide range of cars and trucks, which are reasonably priced yet innovative, from compact hybrids to beefy muscle cars to huge vans and SUVs. If you drive a Chevy in the Milwaukie, OR area, the auto repair technicians at Nick's Auto Care are prepared to service your vehicle.

Had engine problems, went in for a diagnosis with a car that could start and drive. Was quoted 10,000 to repair so I went to pick it up and take back to the previous shop that the day before quoted me 3,500. Returned to a vehicle unable to start or drive. I asked point blank if the car still ran because I thought it was weird they were pushing the vehicle out of their work area. I was assured yes, it still starts and runs, they just didn’t want to make it worse. Tried to start the car- weird sounds and wouldn’t start. I went in to ask why they told me it ran. They told me it was my fault, that

Nicks service and techs are the best. I am a mechanic without a garage, and there are repairs I choose to not do in the cold and rain. I am always happy with these folks, where honesty, decency, and communication are the key. Nick has been taking care of 100 plus of the senior citizens I care for, refer, and have not heard ANY tales of questionable service or treatment, and most of my referrals are senior women. Trust is the most important issue, and this company is the best. Thank you all!!

My first visit- to get estimate for a shield for cat converter. They did a full inspection with pics to document, pointing out issues to address with a prioritization. Very cool. I’m following up with them to keep my 2011 Prius running a while longer!

This was my first time using Nick's Auto Care. The folks there were very friendly and courteous and took care of me and my truck. They kept me informed throughout the day. I really like that they use email to inform me of the status and inspection results. I am definitely going to use Nick's again in the future.

Nick's Auto Care is the place to go if you have any type of car problems.
If you are looking for a no nonsense, talented, friendly, honest family owned shop, then look no further. They are simply the best in my opinion. It is almost impossible to find a mechanic shop that has Integrity and is not charging you for things you don't need. I was really blown away at the attention to detail that they had in my inquiry about an issue my vehicle had. I was sent digital media(text or email)showing me exactly the issues that I was facing and explained in a way that was easy to understand.

My biggest regret in my short life is taking my truck here.
Initially took in my truck for an inspection over concerns of shaky handling. Over $1,000 later with new wheel bearings and other non-related repairs I was back on the road. On my first trip outside of town after repairs, the wheel bearings seized and I lost control of the vehicle while driving around 55mph on Mt. Hood. I was barely able to swerve my truck over to the side of the road, where I ended up being strandedfor 6 hours with no reception. After a costly tow ride home, and an entire day spoiled, I e-mailed Nick's detailing the incident

If anyone local is in need a of a wonderful mechanic, please check out Nicks Auto Care. He’s honest, affordable and does not try to rack up a giant bill for you. I had my car in there for an oil change and just to be looked over and he kindly did a bumper to bumper inspection and gave me a short list of some other things I might need done in the future. No pressure, no bullying. He didn’t go looking for millions of issues he could try to charge me for- like some other “competitors” down the road who have in the past held my car and bullied me into work I didn’t need

I had originally taken my car to another shop. They didn’t fix the problem and where going to charge me more money. so I called my cousin and he suggested going to nicks. I called got in quickly he was honest and fixed my car right away! He was reasonably priced and excellent service I can’t say enough about nicks I highly recommend them. They are honest with quality work!!! They are now my go to shop.

When in there for some work on my truck. Charged me 800+ dollars to replace a 100 dollar part that took 1 hour to replace and then I get my truck back and 10 miles down the road I get a check engine light and a low oil pressure reading. I take it back to them and they try charging me another 800+ dollars for a 50 dollar part. Ended up paying 600+ more dollars to get my truck back. They said the 200 dollars more was for coolant that didn't use. Goes to show theres no honest shops out there. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL.

Regretting having to leave a bad review. I have taken many cars in for repair over the past few years and was always satisfied. But last course le experiences have not been good. Things I request don't get done and things I didn't request are on the bill. I think the volume is more than the small shop can handle and many things fall through the cracks. Very disappointed.

I've been a customer of Nick's for about a year now and they've done a multitude of work on my aging beast of a vehicle. From oil changes, brakes, to major engine repair, it seems they have worked on just about everything on my car.
I have been very impressed with the professionalism and quality of the work done each and every time. If ever there has been any question or anything I didn't understand, they have taken the time to walk me through it and explain everything without any hesitation.
It's very hard to find a reliable repair shop that is both close to your home

Nick's ROCKS! Took my beloved 1992 Geo Metro in for minor maintenance and brake check and did I need a coolant change? Was braced for $1,000 worth of work (if brakes needed). Got Nick's call saying, "Nothing major needed, cost for various small things $118." WONDERFUL to have a reliable honest no BS mechanic! And the shop is just across the street from our new Orange Line so I can just hop two stations to get home and back. I am SO completely thrilled and simply cannot recommend Nick's highly enough. THANK YOU Nick!

I've dealt with my fair share of mechanics (who hasn't?). Had a car that we needed to know if it was worth having some things done on it or if we needed a new car. Nick is probably one of the most honest guys and friendly guys I've met, not just counting mechanics. Called before a single penny was was charged with exactly what items were needed in detail. There was none of the "well, this is worn out", or if "you don't do this, you'll be looking at more expenses soon" crap you usually hear. Told me what I could skip if I needed to due to costs and
