By far the best place to get your car serviced. Nick is a star and I am so lucky I found him. Honest and knowledgeable on his craft. I brought my 2011 Cayman to him and he has given me honest advise on my car and I will continue to take it back to him. Love this guy!!!!!!!!!!
Nick provided a comprehensive survey for my 2007 Carrera. He worked closely with me to create a service plan and completed it on time at a reasonable cost. Nick communicated with me throughout the process and provided detailed updates.
I cant say enough good things about my experience with Nick and Top Auto. He is professional, very knowledgeable, and has a true passion for his craft. Me and my Porsche thank you, and we are lucky to have Nick in our area.
Nick is extremely knowledgeable. I will continue to bring our Porsche to him for the life of the vehicle, as well as all future higher-end cars we purchase. So glad he’s around to keep our vehicles maintained. He’s very friendly, polite, honest, upfront... Couldn’t ask for a better mechanic. Having a mechanic that you trust is everything.
Very professional thorough knowledgeable skilled mechanic Better than the dealership Nick truly cares well for all his clients and is a man of his word Got all my cars in Excellent Condition
Great experience, great service. Nick is a very experienced, and knowledgeable Porsche technician. He is also a Porsche owner and enthusiast. I will be going there for my service on my 997.2 from now on. He had a lot of high end Porsches there for various issues. Great shop.
Nick is absolutely amazing and does excellent work. We have an Audi TT and Porsche Cayanne and absolutely WILL NOT let anyone else work on these cars. He is very honest and stands behind his work. If you want your car to be the best take it to the BEST to be serviced.
Nick has a true passion towards his work. Extreme attention to detail. Highly Recommend!
Nick was extremely professional. Have us an upfront estimate and a detailed breakdown of what he would do. Very clean garage area and excellent work! Highly recommend for any euro cars.
Brought my high-mileage C63 AMG in for a post-purchase inspection and was able to very quickly revive the car back to its former glory with Nick’s repairs. If you want dealer quality repairs at affordable prices, with the best parts for your car, *with* warranty, Nick is your guy. He will send you pics of what’s wrong and explain the situation before anything is done. Very knowledgeable, have already recommended many of my friends.
Top automotive is a quality shop with outstanding service. Nick went out of his way to fix my car as quickly and economically as possible. This is a great find for quality work on your car without the dealership hassle.Thank you !Peg Spidel
He just did a engine out refresh of my 2000 Carrera including plugs, coils, AOS, injectors, water pump, starter and timing chains. Nick’s attention to detail and focus on top quality work is awesome! If you want it done right bring it to Nick.
Nick is Awesome. He does a complete 13 point inspection when Porsche has a an 11. Nick and his guys go the extra mile and does excellent work. Dont mess around with anyone else with your 4 wheel baby. Top Automotive is KING!
We recently moved to Wesley Chapel and soon realized that our 2012 Mercedes E Class Sedan was in dire need of its 90,000 mile service.When two neighbors independently suggested Top Automotive, I called/set up an appointment - scheduled three days later...As a result of this weeks Service by Nick & Vlad, I am delighted to unequivocally & enthusiastically recommend Top Automotive.Heres why:1. Ease of making an appointment; 2. Upfront detailed explanation of what the Service and Price provided; 3. Recognition & resolution of unexpected problem(s) - we needed a new battery, priced at slightly over Nicks cost; 4. Timely completion of the Service inc. purchase/installation of battery; 5. Notable courtesy; easy to understand explanations; very fair pricing!
I have an 07 Cayman S with a Raby engine. When I experienced continued issues with starting, Raby recommended Nick. I live in Asheville, so Nick is over 2 hours away. Not exactly convenient. But Im glad I found him, and hes going to be my to-go guy from now on, despite the distance. He was able to quickly diagnose the issue and the repairs were done in two days. He communicated frequently during the process, and was very responsive when I had a question or concern. And best of all, my car is starting as it should again.
After months of research and Blogs for days and countless phone conversations with I do it all shops and it may not go in reverse after its done responses.. I went with a Kevlar clutch for my 08 Murcelogo.I had several conversations with Nick, The owner I shipped my car 5 hrs away to a guy i didnt know and hoped for the best. Nick over communicated from the start and took detailed pictures when the car arrived and kept me informed on the status of my car. Nick was very informative and educated me as I am new to Lamborghini. I had Nick go through my car and had him fix problems and any possible problems down the road. Nick is on his game Top Notch. He did not try to upsale and actually corrected alot of issues and didnt charge me for it. He Quoted me a price and was able to Source locally and saved me money. Unlike 9 out of the 10 other shops that try to gouge me when I pull up in a Lambo. This shop operates with integrity and delivers Quality! For me i want a relationship with the person working on my Super Car and to be able to Trust who i am spending tons of money with! If you are looking for a Mr Miyagi for your Super Car look no more. As for me the cost of a 5 hour enclosed trailor for my car is well worth it and will be the only shop to work on my Murcelogo in the future. My car runs like a beast and my tune made a huge difference and the Kevlar clucth is well worth it.
I just finished having my 2000 Boxster S IMS upgrade done with Nick at Top Automotive. Nick took care of all my needs and recommended all the things i needed to make my Boxster run like new. I am completely satisfied with the outstanding work Nick and his team did and the great savings he gave me. I highly recommend Nick and Top Automotive for all your German car maintenance. I will take my cars to TA for there required Maintenance.Thank You Top Automotive.
Very knowledge and professional
Brought in my BMW for some repairs the other day., Nick, the owner, repaired everything perfectly and kept me in the loop on what needed and didnt need to be done. Hes a perfectionist, which is what I look for, as well as a very knowledgeable mechanic. Will continue to bring my car to him from this point on!
Nick installed the IMS Solution in my 99 996. He was quick to respond, thorough in his investigation, detailed in his analysis and review, and delivered on time and within budget. A great experience with a true professional.
Professional, knowledgeable, organized luxury auto shop. Top notch. Was nice doing business with Nick. Highly recommend.
Today was my first visit at Top Automotive and I will definitely only use them to service my Porsche Cayenne going forward. I went there based on the recommendation of a friend and I am so glad I did. I never once felt as though they were trying to sell me a service or repair that I didn’t need (as I have at previous places ). Nick was fantastic and it is apparent he has great pride in what he does and it reflects in his customer service. Highly recommend them !!
One of the best shops in Charlotte for your German cars. Incredible owner. Very satisfied with service. Highly recommended!!!!!
Top Notch service is what this shop should be called!We have been taking our vehicles to this shop for years now, and cannot imagine ever trying to take our vehicles to be serviced anywhere elseThe technicians are completely professional, knowledgeable, and very thorough.They always make sure that, your vehicle is running right.Nik and his staff handle all their customers with respect, honesty and integrity . People rely on their vehicles to get them to their destination safely, Top Automotive makes sure that your vehicle can do that!
Few months ago I had an opportunity to purchase a 911 from Top Automotives owner Nick. By far, this has been the most pleasing and professional experience I have ever had when purchasing a vehicle. Since I live in Chicago, it was important to me that I come to a price agreement before I make a trip to North Carolina. Nick (the owner of the shop and owner of the actual car) did not waste my time or play silly games. He happily took the car to an independent Porsche shop for a PPI (I kindly asked for it) prior to my arrival. Upon verification that my future 911 was in a phenomenal condition as stated in the sale offer, I flew to NC the very next day. I cant express enough how detail oriented, patient, and welcoming Nick has been throughout this process. His enthusiasm was top notch. I truly wish that he owned his business closer to Chicago as I would be very grateful to have him and his crew take care of my Porsche. I wish that more auto shop professionals carried themselves in such manner, passion for clients, and fairness. I wish Top Automotive my very best, and would love to have an opportunity to be their customer again some time in the future. Thank you !
I knew after talking with and meeting Nick and Vlad I had found the perfect shop to have my Audi A4 Quattro brought back up to “Speed”. Nick assessed and prioritized the items to address on my A4. It has 127k on it and needed quite a few components replaced due to its age!! Audi of Charlotte already had taken me to the cleaners and I was new to the area and I will now be taking my A4 to Top Automotive from now on for all my service needs.Great Job!!Thank you
Top Automotive is the best. Very thorough and honest. They have worked on my Audi A8 and BMW X5 for years. I recommend them highly!
Took my e46 m3 here for some work. Nick and Vlad are good guys and very professional. They found a couple things that other shops did not find. Called me to provide updates along the way. I plan to bring my wifes Audi here for service as well. Price was fair for the quality of work that they did. Im excited that I found a local shop that does it right.
Nick and his shop crew are very professional and courteous! After being tired of paying dealer price for repairs and maintenance, my husband and I were so happy to find Top Automotive for our Cayenne S, Macan Turbo and 911. Since we are big fans of European cars, and the shop only works on European cars, we found a very trust worthy place for all of our cars. The BMW and Mercedes we purchased here are also very clean and reliable. Nick is very patient and detail oriented, he always makes sure that we are satisfied with all services provided. Highly highly recommended!
This review is from a females perspective, a girl who loves her Porsche 911 C4S, but admittedly, doesn’t know all the technical details about the mechanics of the car. Nick at Top Automotive is not only a brilliant and masterful German auto mechanic, he is meticulous, he is honest, he does not cut corners, he does things the right way. His actions speak louder than his words, he is a very good man. He is who I chose to do the RMS, IMS Solution, replace my clutch, teach me about true synthetic oil, which is not Mobil 1 and he is who I will recommend to my Porsche friends, the ones I hold in high-regard. He and his partner, Vlad, are excellent at what they do and they love what they do. They are passionate, they are professional, you are in competent hands...you get what you pay for and then some!!! I strongly recommend, Top Automotive. Thank-you, Nick & Vlad for restoring my faith in being able to trust my mechanic again, thank-you from the bottom of my heart. I love my car and I now have piece of mind driving ‘her’ again...long live the silver bullet!
Outstanding work provided on my BMW. Owner and mechanic are Superb. Highly recommend utilizing the service. Detailed oriented and friendly!
This is the only place I trust my BMW to! Ive shopped around for pricing, and they not only have integrity, and work for the most cost effective solutions, but treat you like family.
Nick and his team are amazing! They do high quality work and are extremely professional!
They are always professional and do top of the line work! In an industry where it’s hard for women to trust, I always trust them and know they do great reliable work! Thanks Top Automotive!
The professionalism I received coming to Top Automotive was incredible. They made me feel totally confident in choosing there services. They are very knowledgeable and truly care about customer satisfaction. Would recommend Top Automotive. Thanks
This is the TOP shop to take your vehicle, especially for a second opinion. I have had problems with my BMW M3, I took the car to another shop, it was diagnosed to have over $10,000 work of work that needed to be done partially due to a problem that their mechanic caused while my car was in their shop. When I brought the M3 into Top Automotive, Nick was able to diagnose the issue quickly and presented a plan to take care of the car for less than half of the original estimate. I was happy to have the issues resolved and have a working vehicle that drives with no problems. I am extremely satisfied with the level of care that I received and will recommend all my friends and family to only take their vehicles to Top Automotive.
Nick and Vlad at Top Automotive are competent, energetic, tremendously honest, and well trained professionals who love cars. I own a BMW, Mercedes Benz and a Land Rover. I would never consider having anyone else service my vehicles.Everyone wants value for the dollars they spend and you get that and more with these gents.
Nick is just an A+ guy. True professional. Very helpful and insightful. His prices were better than just competitive.Not very often I run across people that I truly like and trust. Nick is definitely one of those people. North Carolina is lucky to have a man like him for all their German automotive needs!Scott & Apple
I could not be more pleased with the professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail that Nick at Top Automotive has provided me with the maintenance and repairs for my Porsche 928. These cars are known for their complexity and Nick has been a true professional when diagnosing (and solving) issues, as well as honestly and effectively taking care of routine maintenance items. Pricing is fair and competitive, and more importantly, the work is of outstanding quality and integrity. I highly recommend Top Automotive and am thrilled to have found a trusted and competent professional to care for my vehicles for the foreseeable future.
Cant say enough good things about this place. My experience exceeded any previous Porsche service/repair shop (including the dealership) and the prices are great! Nick and his team are outstanding. They are refreshingly honest and extreamly knowledgable with the cars. They document your analysis/tests/repairs with pics and videos (who does that?). If you live in the Charlotte area and go to the dealer or any other over priced shop, your loss. This shop kills it!
Top Automotive has above and beyond earned 5 stars in my book!! Nick consistently goes the extra mile, works hard to give the best deals on parts to customers, is always helpful--answering as many questions as you have, and makes sure your car is in top condition. He is honest and helpful. After years of horror stories at other mechanics, Nick has redeemed my faith in honest mechanic!~Samantha R.
I wish I had known about this service 5 years ago, when I had a German car with constant problems. I have now moved on and own 2 Japanese cars, and Nick does an outstanding job helping me maintain, repair, and modify both my Toyota Tundra and Subaru Impreza. I have and will continue sending all my friends and family to Top Automotive, they are simply outstanding! Absolute honesty and quality at too-good-to-be-true prices. Keep up the good work Nick!
Ive been using Nicks services since 2013. The level of integrity and the knowledge of European cars is unmatched in the Charlotte area. You definitely get the most for your money and your vehicle form Top Automotive. He also back up every part that needs to get replaced with images to educate the consumer on their cars symptoms and the gets down to the real cause of the issue.
Excellent customer service and really knows what they are doing. Thank you for the excellent work on my Mini Cooper. I will be sure to refer others.
After the factory warranty on my BMW ran out in 2014, I was jumping around from shop to shop looking for a reliable mechanic to help keep my car in tip top shape. I was given Top Automotives information by a co-worker and havent looked back since.From routine services to major repairs, these guys have always performed excellent work and at the best price Ive seen in the Charlotte area. If you have a foreign car whose repair bill from other shops/dealers brings a tear to your eye, Id highly recommend checking out Top Automotive! The quality of service, honesty and friendliness of the crew are second to none.
Excellent seller. Fast response and quality parts.
I used Nick for an IMS solution (and other items while the engine was out) on my 2000 Carrera. They did a great job! Nick is a wealth of information and his passion for German engineering is evident in the work he does. I highly recommend them!
How can you tell if the shop and the workers really care about you or just about the money? Simple you show up after hours with a window stuck and it is snowing the next day and you have a 4 hour drive. What did Top Automotive do, they took time out of there personal lives to make sure I did not drive 4 hours in the cold and snow. I can assure you they care about you more than they care about the money. Top Automotive Service before Self! Thanks guys, Robert B. Walker
Top Automotive is definitely on Top of their business! Nick and Vlad diagnosed my cars maintenance needs accurately and performed the service in a timely manner. I am very impressed with the quality of their work, their professionalism, and even the cleanliness of their shop. I highly recommend Top Automotive, and I will be back there as well.
I reached out to Nick based on a YouTube video he made on how to pretest the high pressure VANOS system on an M6 to diagnose before opening the bottom end of the car. Nick has been fantastic to deal with. Beyond knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommmed Nick and his shop to anyone who needs their high end German Auto repaired. I don’t find many people like Nick who are straight shooters from the beginning. Great guy! Great shop!
I highly recommend Nick & Top Automotive Inc in Indian Trail, NC. We have taken all of our vehicles to him for several years. He is fair, fast and HONEST. He has done it all for our vehicles from minor maintenance to a transmission replacement. I have lived in Charlotte for 42 years and checked out many, many other mechanics before we found Nick. Now we only use Nick & Top Automotive to work on our vehicles. He was referred to me by my wifes ministry office, where many of the ladies there have used him for years. I personally use and recommend him to family and friends. My Dad (a very tough customer to please) went to Nick after he was fed up with the dealers repair shop. He thanked me for the excellent referral. And now uses him as well. Bottom line: Honest, Hard-working, Really Knows His Stuff and Friendly.
I was in here with my Lexus and Infinity on separate occasions. Each time Nick was able to diagnose and fix the problem quick. His level of knowledge and expertise amazed me. He even keeps the old broken parts to show you what he replaced. Great customer service. Keep up the good work.
I had a vehicle sitting in my garage for almost half a year because I could not find the right mechanic to take care of the many complicated problems that my BMW had, every where I went I received an exorbitant quote for the repairs. I was so glad to hear about Top Automotive, from the first look Nick was able to figure out the problems and was able to restore the car into a great running condition in a timely manner with an incredibly reasonable price. This is my shop for any future vehicle needs that I might have, I highly recommend them.
Dont know where to start, but let me just say if Google + had TEN stars, Nick and his guys would get it! The work he did on my BMW was awesome. From the time I walked in the door, I FELT like I had FINALLY found a straight up businessman/auto service company who genuinely cared about me as a customer. The repairs were complicated but Nick took time to put the pieces of the puzzle together and went the EXTRA mile to not have me spending more on the car than was necessary. His pricing is very reasonable and I can tell you, this is an operation that has integrity! The little extras, like washing the car once and making my headlights shine, another, is VERY appreciated! As long as I am in this area, Top Automotive will service every vehicle I have.
I am extremely satisfied with Nick and Top Automotive, I brought in my Cadillac Catera with transmission issues and was able to drive away within days, Nick was very courteous in diagnosing and finding a solution. His advice and recommendations were very honestly laid out on the table so that I can make the best choices in the exact parts and services I needed for the solution without anything extra. The service was quick, professional and most important is the exceptional quality in which the work was done. I highly recommend Nick with Top Automotive to Everyone with any car problems. Top Automotive will make them go away! Thanks Nick and Top Automotive.
Nick and Vlad are the most knowledgeable car mechanics I have met! They really take the time to diagnose and go over specific details related to repair work. They are friendly, kind, and prompt. I will be taking my car here regularly going forward! Thank you Top Automotive!
One of the best experiences I have ever had with a mechanic.... I have a BMW 5 series and repairs can be very expensive from the dealer and it can be hard to find an honest mechanic in Charlotte. Nick was very upfront about the cost and very honest about what needed to be done on the vehicle. He replaced my stock bumper with an M5 style bumper and it looks like it was put on at the factory!! His price was also much less than what you will pay at any local body shops. I strongly reccomend Top Automotive and will continue to use them in the future!!
Nick and his staff are top notch . They are professional, trustworthy very respectful and treat you like your family. I highly recommend Top Automotive and will be a lifetime customer.
Legitimately the top choice for any German engineered vehicles. Experienced Techs that will dig through and fix any mechanical or electronics issues. Highly recommended.
Such a great group of people. Ive serviced a Maserati, Mercedes and soon my Aston Martin here. The quality of the work and the professionalism is incredible. Great people, great service!
Very acc
Nick and Vlad are fast, reliable, honest, and thorough. They are extremely knowledgable and make sure that all of my problems are fixed. I have the utmost trust and respect for Top Automotive. I recommend these guys every single time, without hesitation.
I highly recommend Top Automotive, both Nick and Vlad are great to work with and very knowledgeable. Every service call with them turns into a success story.Thank you guys!
Positive vibes and amazing work. Engine overhaul was done in a timely manner and my 911Turbo never ran smoother 👌🏼
I used Top Automotive for all my mechanic needs!!! They are the best in what they do!!! When you take your vehicle to them, be sure that when you pick it up it will be in an amazing condition!!! I recommend their shop to anyone who needs a great mechanic.
My sixteen-year-old Porsche Boxster needed a clutch and a few other things. The While were in there list grew and grew, as expected, and in the end I have a new car! No more worrying about the IMS, waterpump, oil cooler, etc. etc. They are all done by a competent, conscientious, quality mechanic who not only knows these cars but CARES about them. Ill be back, Nick, and anyone needing repairs on their Porsche should consider Top Automotive, Inc. in Indian Trail NC as the place to go!
Highly recommend Top Automotive. Nick and Vlad did a great job on my M3 e46. Payed half the price dealers charged for my repairs. Very Professional and trusty worthy mechanics.
Recently serviced my BMW with Nick at Top Automotive. Customer service and expertise were second to none. Highly recommend to anyone and will definitely be using him in the future!
Im telling you. This guy is like top doc for your luxury cars. Except he makes expensive repairs more affordable. Who doesnt want to save money right?But that is besides the point. I am pretty much sold to him. He always asks about my family and even lets me see inside my car when he takes it apart just to explain exactly what is going on. Felt like I was watching a real heart surgery and makes me appreciate not only his hard work but the value of getting my BMW fixed. Something that legit bmw companies dont allow. I remember every time they screwed me over even for a small change. They try to take your money. But Nick is honest.He even cares for my car more than I would have. The way he handles and has his guys clean it up and maintain it. I dont even have such patience to do that myself. I would rather just have him fix my oils too because I know I might just break or mess something up if I try to save money... get my drift?Def would recommend him, even my paps and bro are starting to go to this guy.
Nick at Top Automotive serviced my Benz. He was knowledgeable, experienced, and honest. Will use him again. I recommend his shop for any high line vehicle.
AWESOME JOB .TOP QUALITY JOB WITH TOP QUALITY PARTS. HONEST ALL THE WAY .THEY KNOW EVERY PART OF THE CAR.WHEN THEY FIX IT YOU KNOW IT IS DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.THEY WILL DO ALL THE SERVICES ON OUR CAR.THANKS NICK GREAT JOB
Awesome shop for German vehicles including Mercedes Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, etc.
Great shop. Worked on my M5
Exceptional service experience; honest and friendly!
Great customer service and good honest repair work done here.
Great customer service at a fair price! I take my european auto here whenever it needs service and the job is always done great.
Excellent work at a reasonable price done by two dudes who love European cars.
I was referred to Nick at Top Automotive by another professional in the automotive industry here in Waxhaw known for Restorations and Great Detailing.Nick from start to finish is a honest, professional, on point guy. He will not screw you around as some other shops due in the Charlotte area. He doesnt sell exotics (like some other shops) he fixes them. And that is where his honestly is the best. I trust him and I know he wont try to upsell you on anything. He gives his honest opinion.I own my own small business and honestly I dont have time to take my cars to get looked at. He said no problem and picked up my Audi R8 which was acting up. He found solutions for the problems I was having and based on the way he does business he picked up my Gallardo to look over.Bottom line I am lucky to have found a a company that loves what they do. And will not rest until it is fixed.Thanks NickSkyler JonesSkyBlueVeteran
First off I have to mention that the guys working at Top Automotive are some of the most down to earth and reasonable people to deal with. They are very professional and go beyond ones expectations to get the job done with these Euro vehicles. Ever since i bought it, I have had a few headaches with my 2005 ZHP 330ci. There were injector issues, a ccv issue, a throttle issue linked with the DME, fuel pump/pressure issues, and a few other oddball things. I felt like it would take a miracle to get this thing fixed, but Top Automotive got it running better than I expected. The car feels like it gained about 30-40 horsepower and runs very smoothly now. Throughout the process, I regularly received phone calls and updates as to where we were at and how things were looking. I have also taken my E36 M3, convertible 330ci and 325ci to them in the past and have always been beyond satisfied with the work that was done.If you dont know what is wrong with your vehicle or you are questioning any kind of work Hendricks shops or any other shop is telling you to get done, stop by Top Automotive. Not only will you get an honest inspection, but you will save yourself a good chunk of money if you end up going with the repairs.A+ work guys!
This guys know what they do. Clean and fast.
Excellent customer service that translates to quality of work that i receive everytime i bring in my vehicles for service. Puncuality is definetly a part of this business with compatative rates that all can afford.
Helped me out a lot with my cars and told exactly what the problems were without lying. I highly recommend
Honest, reasonable and does excellent work.
