Niko communicates well and their work is top notch!
Awesome staff and efficient process. Prices are very reasonable for the work. Definitely recommend.
Midtown Autoworks did a pre-purchase inspection for me recently and they were fantastic, very thorough and communicative. I live in NY so literally on the other side of the country, Niko drove the car for me and was honest and upfront with his opinion. I did end up buying the car! Thanks again for all of your help!
I contacted Niko about performing a pre-purchase inspection of a Porsche 997. I am not local, so was depending on his evaluation of the vehicle. He was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and communicative. They found several major issues and Niko went through them with me in detail. I decided not to move forward with the purchase based on this invaluable information.Highly recommended!
The owner Nicko is very honest and knowledgeable. They always take care of my car ans explain me what to do and what no to do. Great place, thank you.
I contacted Niko @ Midtown in Sept of 2020 to perform a pre-purchase inspection of a 1995 993, since I am out of state. Midtown Auto coordinated with the dealer directly for pickup and return. Niko, even though he knew of the vehicle, gave a totally honest and unbiased inspection of the car. I value his opinion and professionalism.
I called the shop based on the recommendation of a local car dealership where I was considering buying a used car. I spoke to Niko the owner and even though we had never met, he gave me his honest appraisal of the car I was considering buying. Most importantly was his professional opinion on a number of issues that I might be facing in the next 10 to 20K miles with that type of car.Niko did not make me feel rushed or as I was putting him out even though it was just free and friendly advice. I really appreciate his care and concern and paid to bring any other car I might consider buying to his shop for a prepurchase inspection.Give a call and ask for Niko the owner!
Nico is extremely professional and knowledgeable in Porsche repair. He provided great communication with me throughout the process and gave me all possible scenario so I can make an informed decision. He was also patient with me as I was unable to make a decision immediately regarding the repairs. I will definitely be taking my other and future cars to his shop.
Nico is the best!
Very knowledgeable and kind people, and just went in there for work shown on the dashboard of my wifes Panamera and they found some coolant problems that were covered under warranty and took care of it with speed, ease, and general good work. And they dont charge what you get charged at the brand name dealers service bay. Sometimes, not even half! Yet they do the same or better job! You cant go wrong here.
Ive been a happy custom of Midtown Autoworks for years. Without exception, the owner Niko has surpassed my exceptions with the quality of work done in a timely manor, honest and great communication and repairs are less than his competitors. I wholeheartedly recommend Midtown Autoworks without hesitation nor reservation. Theres only one best and its Midtown Autoworks.
Niko and Midtown Autoworks were awesome. Got my Cayman in right away, diagnosed the problem, did a full car checkup, and completed the work quickly and correctly. Niko does a good job of explaining the issues and the work required. His prices are very fair, especially compared to the dealer. Everyone I dealt with at the shop was very friendly and helpful.
I had them check out a 2009 Cayman bought from a local dealer. Very friendly. Did not take my CC info until the car arrived. They even mentioned that there was a closer mechanic. I chose them anyway based on their great customer service on the phone. I am out of state and was a bit nervous about buying a car without seeing it in person. Niko checked it out thoroughly and then had one of his mechanics give a second opinion. They detailed minor issues and provided a cost for future repairs. It was a very honest and competent description of the car. They even charged me less than the original quote because the car was in better shape than they thought it would be. Highly Recommended.
Nico is extremely personable! I come up from the Bay Area to get my work done by him. Once you factor in time and gas it doesn’t make much sense to go so far from where I live. However, I want Nico to have my Business because he’s got a unique personality that sticks out much than other shop owners I’ve met. He’s also extremely knowledgeable, funny, and kind in everything from his work to personal interactions that he does. He truly cares about his work and making sure the customer leaves happy! If you’ve got a Porsche or any German car for that matter, take it to Nico. He’s a total bro and a mechanical wizard.
This is your hometown service kind of place. Niko will take great care of you and treat you like he values your patronage, not like they’re doing you a favor. A+
I have been taking my Mercedes to Niko for over 2 years. He is honest and helpful. Always does excellent work and service. And he saves me hundreds. I would highly recommend him. I now take my Cayenne to him. I wont go anywhere else ! Niko is the best 😁
Very relaxed interpersonal skills - super friendly! I drive past several locations I could take our autos to (Porsche, Mercedes) but Nicos friendly demeanor and excellent service win out!
I contacted Niko @ Midtown in January of 2020 to perform a pre-purchase inspection of a 1985 911, as I am out of state. Midtown Auto coordinated with the dealer directly for pickup and return so there was no hassle on my end. I was provided a thorough list of repair items and Niko worked with me to understand how in-depth of a PPI I really wanted. This wasnt a concourse-level car but it was reassuring to know that they were taking the time to listen to my own unique set of concerns and criteria.Several weeks later, I traveled to Sacramento to see the car myself. After a test drive, I showed up at Midtown Auto unannounced and Niko spent a great deal of time discussing his impressions of the vehicle and even drafted a list of estimated repair costs for the issues identified. I ended up purchasing the car and am very happy with it--not a lemon! Niko and his team at Midtown Autoworks were professional, knowledgable, and eager to help from start to finish. If I were in the Sacramento area I would not hesitate to take the car to Midtown for service.
I have taken our 2008 Boxster to Midtown Autoworks several times for both routine maintenance and mechanical repairs. They are fast, thorough and friendly. Explained the work and the cost consistently. Dependable customer service. Thanks!
Hello- So here is the deal-I have only written 2 on line reviews in my life. They are both for Midtown Autoworks. Why? Simply because are they best service provider I have ever come across-Not just Auto Servicing. More than anyone else they recognize the value of good customer service. This means prompt, courteous, excellent and fair priced auto servicing. Niko understands that this type of service creates long term customers and a recommendation from a current customer has unlimited value, including word of mouth. That is how I found Midtown- from another Porsche owner. This is why they continue to grow. Midown Autoworks honestly cares about their customer base and treats them as they would like to treated. I travel quite a distance for servicing at Midtown. Although there are many others in Nevada County where in live, that advertise services they cannot or will not do, but are things that Niko and his staff do as a matter daily business. If you own a Porsche or Mercedes, do yourself a favor and skip the others and go directly to Midtown Autoworks. I promise you it will be the best car move you will ever make.John B
2000 996 service. Honest service with reasonable prices. Highly recommend .
I would recommend Midtown Autoworks to anyone who has a high end vehicle. I own a Mercedes and since I bought it no one has serviced my car except for Niko. Being a single female, it is hard to find an honest place to take my car for services, but I trust Niko implicitly! Thank you Niko for not giving me one more thing to worry about.
After several years taking my car to Niko... hes still the one! Although my Wifes car is still being serviced by the dealer, since its only a year or so old. My Porsche continue to visit Niko for all services and the simple things (oil changes). I live in Rocklin, so its easily a 40 min drive. Im happy to make that trek, well past many other service shops Ive used in the past.(3+ years ago)Nikos great! Knowledge about Porsche, and a trustworthy mechanic. (Its a great family biz, his dad Spiro helps around the shop... which makes for comfortable chats when waiting for my car.)
My Experience here has always been exceptional. I went in with what I thought would be a major problem, I have an older S430 Mercedes, but because of integrity & honesty found out a very quick solution. When I went in for another estimate on other repairs the service was professional, thorough and timely. I was impressed with the quality of workmanship and competitive pricing. I would highly recommend Midtown Autoworks.
Had an oil change and front brakes replaced on my 2016 Cayman. Work was done quickly and accurately. Niko is great to work with. Just had more work done this week and same quality work and service.
Great service, great promptness: The work is good and it is ready when promised. But what I really appreciate about Nico is that he is straightforward and wont sell you something you dont need.
Just bought a 2009 Cayman out of town and was not able to obtain a PPI. I had Niko inspect it and perform the 40k service and he assured me the car was in great shape. Big relief. Its great to be able to discuss your issues directly with the technician doing the work. Great service..easy to work with.6/25/20..Sold the Cayman to a guy that bought it because Niko maintained it. Bought a 911 and continued to receive outstanding service from Niko. Very happy.
Niko at Midtown Autoworks still believes in good ol fashioned customer service.as if the great car care werent enough, his Dad drove me to nearby car rental place, and they covered the cost of the rental car for the day.havent had such great service in a long time, was truly surprising and refreshing.
Experienced.. excellent work.. and on time
Service (both customer and for my car) never ceases to be amazing here. I ALWAYS trust their diagnostics and that they are looking out for whats best for my car and me.
Niko is the man to see!!! Ive been to 3 different Mercedes mechanics in the greater Sacramento area and always have had to return my vehicle 4 problems I took it in for originally. Niko actually advised me NOT to put money that I was willing to spend into work that does not need to be done. Great experience I will definitely be returning if I have to
Brought my car in for a regular service and to check some small issues. As always, the service was excellent and efficient. Everything was done within the hour. Niko is simply the best!
Stress-free. Service is to the satisfaction of the customer; fair, even low prices compared to a lot of service shops; also, shop looks very professional and clean, well maintained. Nico only strives for what is best for the customers concerns and bottom line.
Niko did a great job replacing the dead battery in my Mercedes C-300. In most cars I can do that myself, but in a Mercedes the battery is way underneath an inaccessible. Very reasonable price and quick service.
Niko at Midtown Autoworks just passed the TRUST test! After a required visit to the Mercedes Benz dealer for a recall replacement of the driver’s side airbag, I took my wife’s E350 to Midtown for a second opinion on a battery replacement. The dealer recommended a new battery, saying that four years was the average lifespan of the OEM battery. Niko tested the battery and discovered it to be still good saving me about $350. Trust Midtown to never upsell you the way the dealer does!
Always honest, helpful and polite. If you want quality work with honest mechanic this is the place its hard to trust people these days but you can trust them. Been there a few times with my mercedes. Just because I have a nice car doesnt mean I need to be ripped off.
The owner and the tech are very knowledgeable about what they do. They will do a through all job. The shop is clean and the personal are friendly and willing to help you out.
I came to Midtown Autoworks because I have gone to two other local Porsche specialists who could not troubleshoot a leak. One shop even had my car for over a month, which included 3 return trips. That was frustrating to say the least.Niko and his team fixed my leak - permanently. To make the situation more unique and complex, this was a known issue from Porsche, but did not have any manuals, or replacement parts since it was not a Porsche manufactured component. Niko went out to research the problem, how to fix it, found replacement parts from a specialty shop and performed the repair based on his 10+ years of factory training and experience.Needless the say, Midtown Autoworks is the only shop in Sacramento I would trust and recommend that have your Porsche serviced - whether it be regular service or unique problem.Heres the icing on the cake for me. I have been to many shops from many different manufacturers. When Niko says he will call you back on a certain date with an update, or a quote - he does! I have been to countless shops where they never do what they say they will. I always have to call them back or chase them down just for an update. This is a great example of how customer service should be.So with the technical expertise to fix your problem (or perform regular maintenance) with factory training and many years of experience, great customer service, and reasonable pricing, is there any reason to go anywhere else? I think not.Thank you Niko and your team of staff. You guys are top notch.
Niko is the best, simply put. Wouldnt take my Porsche any where else.
Great service! Niko is always honest, professional and very knowledgeable. Best car repair shop we have been to hands down.
They turned a bad experience into a pleasant one. Got towed in from West Sac. They had all the parts needed for the repair and I was back on the road in less than three hours. Shop is clean and well organized, which is a good sign when looking for a reliable shop. Reasonable rates too.
Excellent place to have your car repaired! Love the prices (very reasonable) and the Stellar Customer Service! They have repaired my Mercedes Benz with prices that beat anyone else. I highly recommend Midtown Autoworks and they are the most trusting, honest people you will meet.
Twice now I have had my Mercedes ML 350 serviced at Midtown Autoworks. Before then, I was having serviced at the dealership. On my break job and most recently on my factory recommended B service, I have saved hundreds! Nikko is always upfront and honest about what is needed and what is not. Great experience and highly recommend.
Niko and crew are top notch, and significantly cheaper than a dealer. Were fortunate to have access to a Porsche shop of this caliber in Sacramento.
Ive used Midtown Autoworks twice and was impressed both times with the quality of service, the fair price, and expertise. I have a 2001 Carrera and I feel like they treat my baby with care. Ill be using them for as long as I own this car... which is until I upgrade to a new or faster model :)So happy to find a shop I trust.
I took my Porsche in several times, they treated me so well now I take the Mercedes. More than fair and always honest. Great place for those German things you drive.
Fair prices and excellent work. Really knowledgeable about their benzes. Furthermore, first thing I noticed entering this shop is how clean it is. Ive found with garages, the cleanliness, organization, and tidiness of the garage is a direct indication of the care, expertise, and thoroughness of their work.
I take my Porsche and Mercedes to Niko because he explains things clearly and always delivers on time. I HIGHLY recommend Midtown Autoworks for all the right reasons; knowledge of my machines, clean and friendly and #1 great customer service.
Impressive service and professionalism. Original quote on the phone was wildly inaccurate, however, and there were no unexpected surprises in the shop. But quote on day of service was accurate and still reasonable.
Niko is a very experienced and professional businessman/technician. He always takes the time to explain things thoroughly and his charges are very fair and more than competitive. He will not try and upsell you and will clearly explain what your car needs and why it needs it - it is then up to you to decide what you want to do now and what you may want to defer.Clean and organized shop, great customer service, and very professional repairs - I wouldnt take my 2012 911 anywhere else.Roy
Excellent service
Niko and his family were fantastic to work with. I had a oil change completed on my Boxster. Very good price. Received a ride to and from work back to shop. Highly recommend Midtown Autoworks.
Niko is very professional with his work. Great service, right price, prompt delivery. The place to go if you have a German make. He will be my mechanic as long as I own my Porsche.
Nicko tried to take advantage on my friend, telling him that his well-maintained Mercedes with only 105,000 miles might need a transmissions by plotting to cheat on him by offering $500 to buy it.Luckily, I found out and told the man to go to a place where honesty is practised across the board. He got his car fixed yesterday for the cost of peanuts.I am disgusted with Nickkos
We always receive excellent, honest service from Midtown Autoworks. Nikko and his team are fantastic with customers and incredibly kind. So happy to have found them!
Great place to take your Porsche and Mercedes for maintenance and repair. Very knowledgeable staffs and pair price.
Great service. Practical advice. Super knowledgeable. Trustworthy. Thank you Niko!
Niko at Midtown Autoworks has been servicing my Mercedes for several years now. He is very professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and fair. If you are looking for a great guy to service you Mercedes Benz or Porsche, I recommend Niko at Midtown Autoworks.
Ive been taking my 2007 Porsche 911 to Midtown Autoworks for a few years now and hes always done a great job at an affordable price. Theyve been more than helpful in every aspect, even gave me a ride home one time (I live in Antelope, so about 16 miles) when it was discovered that my car would need to stay in the shop for a few days. Niko (the owner, I believe) has always been transparent about what needs to be done, what might need to be done somewhere down the line, and will show me the trouble parts that he replaced and why it was faulty. Turnaround time is always pretty quick, unless a part needs to be ordered, but I dont fault them for that since it would be impossible to keep all parts in stock all the time.They keep the facility clean and maintained, and have a small area with free WiFi, TV, water cooler and a coffee machine.I will be continuing to visit Midtown Autoworks for any of my Porsche service needs, and I would highly recommend them!
The staff at Midtown Autoworks is very friendly and their service is excellent.
Food is decent good selection of flapjacks. But very pricey and kinda skimpy on the portions
Exceptional shop to service your Porsche or Benz with thoroughly honest and knowledgeable staff.
Midtown Autoworks consistently delivers quality workmanship for my Porsche 993. Its also a convenient location to grab a cup of coffee while the work is being completed.
If you need service for your Porsche this is a good place to go. Very reasonable prices and very professional service.
I have a 2003 Boxster I brought to Niko after I bought it. Niko is great. He told me what I needed to get fixed now, what could wait until later if I needed to and the signs to watch for if I did wait to know I needed to bring the car back in.The shop is clean and orderly. His knowledge of Porsches is great. His prices are reasonable. He will be my mechanic as long as I own a Porsche.
Ive dealt with Midtown twice. Both instances were superb experiences. Nico is an entirely trustworthy mechanic.
I needed some work on my new-to-me Boxster S. Got good recommendations and excellent work from this family-owned independent shop. Work was as estimated and on time as well as performed conscientiously and thoroughly. Niko is very knowledgeable and experienced on Porsches as a former factory-trained dealer technician. I recommend his shop.
Nikko, and the crew at Midtown imports are excellent and perform exceptional work. I highly recommend them for European vehicles, I personally have them service my Porsches and BMW.Dr. Washington
Niko is great, knowledgeable and extremely professional. This is the only shop that i will bring my Porsche for any type of work needed.
Niko does a great job. All was reliable
There is nothing that Niko cant do. He always goes above and beyond in taking care of my Porsche. I would not take my car anywhere else, and certainly not all the way to Rocklin. Hes very convenient being located in Midtown as well.
I love the way Niko operates MIDTOWN AUTO WORKS. The wife & I bought a certified pre-owned from VON HOUSEN of EL DORADO HILLS 2 HALLOWEENS ago. GLK 350 with 35k. For not only peace of mind, money & the way to ease the strain of scheduled maintenance this shop is smooth as silk & the place we trust with the life of our automobile.
I have had Midtown Autoworks service my E350 for 3 years now, they are awesome, great service and pricing.
Niko was great to work with and knows his cars. Without a doubt, he will be my go to guy on my 968 mechanical needs
Ive been taking my Mercedes to Nick at Midtown Autoworks for 5 years now, always excellent service, friendly staff and the best prices.
If you want real wings, this where you go. Just like being back-east.
We have been taking our Mercedes and Porsche to Niko for the past 2-3 years. In every case of repair or maintenance, Niko has been honest, direct and fair. His knowledge is exceptional and if he is not sure about something, he doesnt BS you...he says Im not sure, but will find out and get back to you.The quality of his work is top notch and his repairs are much more economical than the dealers (surprise?) and you get better attention and, in my opinion, much better service. Often Niko takes care of little things he finds (a light bulb out, adjusting an item, etc) and doesnt charge for it...just part of his excellent customer service.I am also the owner of a small business and Niko certainly has the skills, honesty and attention to service that will keep customers coming back and bringing new ones via referrals.I would have no qualms in recommending him highly to my friends and associates for service and repairs on porsches, mercedes and other vehicles.
Niko and Midtown Auto Works are the best, I wouldnt take my Porsche anywhere else for service! His honest, caring approach is unsurpassed and exemplifies what customer service is supposed to be!Update - Was looking to add a third Porsche to the family so of course I consulted Niko for his advice on which year/model Cayenne to target. Based on his advice I focused my search on a Cayenne Diesel. After locating one locally Niko performed a pre-purchase inspection on a 2014 Cayenne Diesel. I was amazed at the thoroughness of the inspection! He really brought piece of mind to the process! I purchased the Cayenne based on his input and couldnt be happier with my purchase.Midtown Autoworks is the only place I will take my Carerra, Panamera, and newly added Cayenne!
Great place, great price, great knowledge. I love this place, you can ask questions and there are willing to take the time to answer them.
Outstanding service. I asked Nikko for a Pre-purchase Inspection on a Boxster I was considering and Im glad I did. He did a great job going through the details of the auto and letting me know what the issues were. He saved me from making a purchase that would have cost me a lot of money to fix!
Niko was great. He serviced my Porsche Panamera recently. I got 50K tuneup (oil change, cabin filter, air filter and spark plugs). He recommended getting my brakes, sensors and rotors done also. Gave me a good discount compared to what Livermore/Rocklin Porsche was quoting me. Niko is very knowledgeable, technical and personable. He kept me updated on the progress of my car throughout the day. I would definitely recommend family and friends to Niko.
Fast and friendly service. A good value for the money.
Had purchased a 2004 Porsche 911, contacted Midtown Autoworks with questions on IMS and RMS. They were very informative and I decided to have them and the clutch replaced. They scheduled the work around my schedule and completed all earlier than expected. They saved all removed parts and went over them with me when I picked up the car. I am very pleased with the attention to detail in both the description and execution of work. I highly recommend them and will be using Midtown for all my services.ps: Wife said cleanest restroom she has ever been in (big deal to her)
Great customer service Niko definitely knows his stuff at affordable prices too! Highly recommend for porche & mercedes!
I checked several Porsche shops in my area to fix IMS problem with my Boxster and Nick came highly recommended by Porsche Club members. He fixed the problem for a lot less than his competitors and for a small shop, offered convenience similar to dealerships, such as pickup and drop-off. The shop is conveniently located and easy to find. Nick has a good attitude towards customer satisfaction, adjusting any questions and dispute fairly. He also fixed some additional items on my Porsche for which he did not charge me.I just brought my turbo in for routine check and Nikos proposed a thorough 60K check; I am glad I listened to his advice rather than wait for some catastrophic events (since I have very low miles on the car, the plugs and tires are likely worn out, just due to time/age. He also advised new tires, and I have a friend who has a race shop and a trailer who informed me old tires on his 18 wheeler just exploded because of age. He also fixed my reserve reservoir on my clutch, its now almost like new, much less effort in shifting. As usual excellent friendly service from a very knowledgeable mechanic!!
This facility is modern and clean however, [BEWARE]The fraudulent, dishonest and perpetrating owner Nikko should not be trusted.The Bureau of Automotive Repair will be your best resource after Midtown Autoworks attempt to scam and rip you off.
Awesome. They did a pre purchase inspection (PPI) of a Porsche Boxster for me. Im out of state and relied on them to help me out with a thorough inspection. I could not be happier with the time and care that they spent on this for me. Niko provided in-depth analysis of the vehicle and spent a lot of time with me on the phone. Very strongly recommended for any Sacramento-area service.
Excellent extremely knowledgeable service. Competitive pricing
Great service as always! Quick, fair, and honest.
I am having issues with my 2003 Audi A4 Quattro and I went to him based on his reviews, and he is true to them. Sadly my car is not worth fixing however if I get another car, Id so take it back to Niko
Niko just wrapped up a major project on my newly acquired 1999 Carrera. He was awesome to start to finish. I had been hunting for a 996 for several months. I found a potential car in Roseville and had the car driven to Niko at MidTown for a pre-purchase inspection in mid-February. He did a thorough evaluation and gave me his opinion of the car. I decided to purchase the car and left the car in his possession. Niko suggested and I agreed to a 60 k service, IMS bearing, clutch, flywheel replacement, brake flush, water pump, thermostat and any other items that might arise during the dismantling of the car. Niko sent me an itemized bid the very next day for my approval. Half way into the project I returned to Midtown Autoworks to see the old guts laid out on the workbench. I kept the old IMS bearing as a workbench trophy. Within a week my new baby was ready to be picked up. So, all told Niko had my car about 2 weeks and during that time period Niko communicated with me in a timely fashion. Niko did a a great job and I am extremely pleased how my 996 is running. Niko is truely a Porsche whisperer. Thanks.
The work was completed and my car delivered on time and for the price quoted. No need for an overpriced dealership repair when Midtown Autoworks is available.
Excellent customer service, first class professional service of My Porsche Turbo, I will always prefer Nick at Midtown Autoworks as the prices are very reasonable for all my service and maintenance requirements.
Very helpful on the phone for a general question!
Fair pricing, thorough explanations of what needs to be done (or doesnt) and why, and just great people to deal with (both Nico and his dad!)
The best in town. Niko bends over backwards to work with us.
Great, reliable and reasonable!
Nico is awesome
