My family and I have taken all of our cars to Nicks for years now. He really is the best at what he does! His prices are fair and his work is amazing. We used to take our cars to the dealership and have had better experiences with Nick than any dealer. If you need someone reliable and someone who will do the job right the first time go to Nick!!!

Ive been having my cars serviced here for years and wholeheartedly recommend Nick of Time.Over the many years, I think Ive had every service they offer; if not, close to it! Each visit has been driven by honest service advice and quality work. The over 320k miles between my cars with them still running well is an unquestionable testament to that. They take the time to explain things to you. They happily answer any questions you have. The waiting lounge is clean and comfortable. The rest room is also well kept. The accountability and friendliest that comes along with the service makes me feel super-proud to support this local small business.Once youve experienced service here, you wont want to go anywhere else.

Daughter is attending Stevenson University, so I was looking for a mechanic nearby to take care of her exhaust issue. I found Nick to be fair and honest in is repair and price. Instead of selling me a new muffler system he said it just needed a bracket welded to attach the pipe back to the muffler. Saved me a bunch of money and I am grateful to have chosen a mechanic with integrity! Thanks Nick I will definitely look you up in the future should I need any auto work.

I took my car in for service on the recommendation of a good friend. Nick was awesome! Not only did he come and get the correct key from me when I gave him the wrong one, he also did it with a very good attitude, and he was very communicative about what needed to be done, he had already applied the 10% discount coupon from his website, and he did the work in no time flat! On top of all that, he came and picked me up from my office and took me back to his shop at the end of the day after work because I did not have transportation. Very reasonable prices, highly recommend! It’s not just Nick of Time, it’s Nick all the time! Will bring my car back here from now on, and recommend him to anyone for car services! Nick treats you like you’re a friend, not a customer. I appreciate that!

As a GM in the automotive industry, I know the importance of quality service. Even more so when you aren’t part of a large chain. Nick not only has the knowledge and ability, but goes out of his way to provide an excellent service to his customers. I will be back for sure.

Nick took such incredible care of my vehicles when I was in Owings Mills caring for my mom, now that Ive relocated to Odenton Im going to give him a call to get my Bugzila ready for MD inspection. Heck, its only a 45 minute drive for the best, nost trustworthy car service in the state!

I was referred to Nick by another customer of his. I took my car in to have it looked at. He was very professional, nice, and understanding. He gave me options to fit my situation and I greatly appreciated that. I will definitely be going back to him in the future!!

I cant say enough good things about the service at Nicks. I moved to the area and needed my a/c fixed and everywhere I called made me feel unimportant. I called Nick and something in his voice was reassuring. The service was efficient and he communicated the entire time. I never once felt like I was being mistreated or undermined. As a woman Ive experienced this treatment from other mechanics in the past but not here.Next time my car needed a repair I called Nick and he gave me the same level of service as the previous visit. Reliable. Responsive. Respectful. He knows what he is doing. My car was fixed UNDER the cost he originally quoted because when he took off my wheel he found the repair didnt need the additional part he originally ordered. He communicated all along the way and was just wonderful. I will only be using this shop for my car needs moving forward. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Nick is honest and straightforward. He fixes my car quickly, and will tell me if something doesnt need replacing or repaired. Best mechanic I know!

Review №10

As someone who cares about his car I must say Nicks shop has done an excellent job for me on multiple occasions.I had engine problems and Nick gave me a reasonable estimate and did not overcharge for parts (like many shops do). He also took the time to show and explain the fix to me.The only negative I can think of is the time the repairs took. Due to the size of his shop he can only get so many vehicles through. But he was honest about this and communicated well.

Very pleasant experience. The owner was knowledgeable and explained the issue in a way that was easy to understand. He also resolved my issue in the most cost-effective manner!

How I met Nick of TimeMy used Honda came with wheel locks but no keys. Called around a few shops that proposed to forcibly remove the locks for a few hundred bucks.Called Nick of Time I was told I could buy a new key from any Honda dealership, which I did. Only cost me a few bucks.They didnt get my business that day, but won a client for life!... Well, for as long as I live in the area

First of all, I was referred to Nick of time. That was the BEST referral ever. I called, to inquire about services for my car and I had the pleasure of speaking to Nick. I was sooo impressed with his mannerism over the phone, I wanted to let him know then, that he had my business, at that moment,,, lol,,, he explained his background and how his customers are first priority. He told me, the job he had to do on my car would take the whole day but instead it took approximately two hours,,, impressive right. When I finally met Nick in person, it felt like Ive known him for years. He really made me feel just that comfortable. If you need work done on your car pleeeeeeezzzzzz, try Nick first. His prices are very affordable and reasonable. Lexus(dealership) was going to charge me $1,100 dollars for a job Nick did for $400 dollars,,, sooo now was that not reasonableenough for you,,lol.Thanks again Nick,,, Im definitely your NEW loyal customer !

If you’re looking for a honest person to take care of your vehicle look no further. I had a rattling sound in my car, I dropped it off Nick was able to give me a fair quote, and was able to give me a realistic time frame I had until it NEEDED to be fixed. So many other mechanics I’ve been too rush to have you fix it that minute, not Nick. Great person, great quality I highly suggest!

Had engine issues with my car. Called and was able to bring my car in the same day for a diagnostic. I was called by a worker and given an explanation of what was wrong and it was explained in a way I could understand. I was given a reasonable quote and work was completed in a timely manner. Car runs better than before. Staff was friendly and polite. Will definitely go back if I have car issues in the future.

Review №25

Nick you are awesome! My husband and I have been unable to drive one of our vehicles for the past two weeks due to it being at the dealership. Initially our car would not start, we were told it needed a new starter, great. It was fixed and everything was fine. Then we were told a fuel line split and that would be a couple hundred dollars to replace, and then were told that our engine was going bad which would be even more money. Mind you, we have had this car since October of last year and have NEVER had an issue with anything up until now. Our car was basically being held hostage from us at the dealership due to many ridiculous reasons. One night our windows were left down when we had torrential rain and the inside of our car was saturated. We did some google searching and came across Nick In Time, we brought our car in for Nick to take a look at it and check everything over for us. We have been iffy on driving it due to just not knowing the actual problem or if there even was one to begin with. Nick, we greatly appreciate you for helping us out, and getting our car checked so quickly for us! Come to find out there was NOTHING wrong with it!!!! We will definitely be bringing our vehicles to you for any further maintenance! Thanks so much!!

Look no further, Nick of Time is the only place you should take your car! Nick is the only mechanic I trust to work on my car. I’ve been taking my cars to Nick for almost 10 years and every time it has been a great experience. I have since moved to DC and still drive up to Nick for any issues I might have and even routine work. Nick is honest, will take the time to explain what’s going on to you, and is always reasonably and fair priced. From simple routine maintenance to more complicated issues, Nick is the best mechanic around. I had been experiencing electrical issues with my car and Nick was able to figure out that the TIPM in my Jeep needed to be replaced. Since replacing it, my car has been running great!

Review №32

Point blank. Period. Nick is that dude. In a world where its nearly impossible to trust anyone, let alone a mechanic, Ive been taking my cars, my families cars, and whomever else I can send to him for over 10 years now. At first glance, you might think hes not friendly, but Nick is one of the most honest and straightforward people I know and has never steered us wrong when it comes to our cars. Even when it might mean he doesnt get the business, he will refer you to places that are more specialized, e.g. he sent me to Whitcraft Transmissions down the street (another great business) when it was clear it was a transmission issue and he wanted to experts to hone in on the issue. Big picture: if you want honest, solid work, send your car to Nick. He will not steer you wrong.

I cannot truly express how thankful I am for Nick at Nicks Auto. He was polite, patient and made me truly feel like he cared. He took his time to talk to me every time I called him. He was very detailed in what was wrong with my car. Nick, you will definitely have my business. (My vehicle is the 2011 Chevy Traverse) The price was reasonable and fair! Take your car here! Get it fixed here! Give Nick a chance to make you happy as well! Thanks again Nick. You are appreciated!!! ❤️

I drive over 30,000 miles per year. I started taking my cars to Nick (OFTEN) over 15 years ago. I have never trusted a service provider to do good work for fair prices as much as I have with Nick of Time. My fiance and I now take our 3 cars there. She is a tougher customer than I am and she loves Nick too. He communicates honestly and clearly but most importantly listens to your needs.

Hands down the best auto shop in Owings Mills! These guys are professionals at what they do and get your vehicle repaired and out of the shop! I had work done to my Dodge Challenger, Nick kept me updated with what was going on the entire time he had the vehicle. The cost of labor was affordable. Highly recommend these guys.

Stand up guy. He truly enjoys what he does and that is evident in how he treats his customers. He is honest with pricing and time that will be required to work on your car. He cares about giving his customers what they need, and not just selling them anything he can to make a buck. He has always fit my oil changes, brake, and tire rotations into his busy schedule. Highly, highly, recommend.

I work for another Mechanic company which happens to be mobile. Our lines froze in the 10 degree weather, we shopped around for places to come and mount and balance some tires. I called and immediately was told without a question yes, and was not charged for the time to use their mounting machine. Its hard to find good people and a little bit of kindness goes a long way. I would most certainly recommend this company for any work needed in the Owings Mills area.

Amazing! Nick is the type of mechanic you would trust to fix your car. He explains everything clearly and does a great job to make sure you understand. I got my oil changed there for my 2000 Honda Civic lx and I don’t regret a thing. He has made me a customer for life. It’s a no brainer to service your car here. Great job Nick! I’ll definitely be back.

I had my exhausted system looked at the dealership and was told I need it to replace everything for about 1300. I was told about Nick of time and I called to explain my problem they told me to bring the car and they will look at it, to my surprise they only need it to weld a piece that came Lose and it cost me way less than what the dealership was asking. Very honest and quality service. Wont take my car anywhere else

This place is awesome! Nick did a solid 8/9 hunnit dollars worth of work for 4 something and he was cool to work with. We love you Nick!!! Woo Hoo!!! Bot only that.

Running from S. FLA hurricanes, my 2011 Audi A5 broke down. I originally thought the repairs would be $$$ but it wasnt that bad at all!

First off, I dont normally write reviews, however, I brought my Mercedes Benz CLS 550 to Nick for a full service. One of the nicest and most honest people Ive met doing european service. He tells you when its right, I let him have the car for two days doing all my major service, diff, oil, checking all fluids, everything was top notch. Hes also one of the first to tell you when he cant accomplish something as he has a good tally of experts he deals with who can accomplish the goals. He advised me on my transmission service to deal with Whitcraft who were also exceptional. Not allot of people do quality work on European vehicles, Nick is one of them. Nick will have my business for the foreseeable future. I like people who take their time to do things right and Nick is top notch.

I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora V8 that I purchased used in 2006 with a mileage reading of 20K. The vehicle retailed for 46K in 200l. The vehicle now has 90K miles. I have enjoyed owning and driving this vehicle, except for its major flaw: very poor resistance to under body metal deterioration because of rust and corrosion.When the vehicle leaking brake fluid lines were replaced in March 2018, it was found that the left-side rear coil spring seat was nearly completely gone due to rusting which rendered the vehicle unsafe to drive. Since the vehicle was overall still OK with 90K on the North-Star V8, I sought to get this deteriorated coil seat repaired. The blue-book value of the vehicle was only $1500-2000 which precluded an expensive restorative-type repair. I got repair opinions and cost estimates to fix the coil seat from five different reputable auto repair shops: four of the five were either too expensive or would not do the repair at all. The fifth shop, Nick of Time Automotive, proprietor, Nick Hill, said he would fix the left-side coil seat for $500 and also reinforce the right-side coil seat for $150 which was near failure because of rust deterioration. Both of these jobs were without warranty because of general rust throughout the underbody. I accepted the risk and got Nick Hill to do both jobs. I am very pleased with the thoroughness of the restructured left-side coil seat and the reinforced right-side coil seat repairs. I expect these repairs to last for many years.If you have a special vehicle with a serious structural problem preventing it from being driven, I suggest and recommend that you ask Nick Hill to examine the vehicle. Nick has unusual skill in working around and shielding temperature sensitive fuel tanks which eliminates additional job expense for removing and replacing these parts. Nick’s 16 years plus experience in welding, metal fabrication and fair pricing may keep or put your special vehicle on the road again.Satisfied Customer, Bruce O. Fowler, 30 April 2018

My Uncle Walter owned and operated a garage - what we called them back in the day. Nick is the ONLY mechanic I have known that operates in the same manner. He always attempts repairs to cost the customer less. Others just get a full replacement part, even if the problem is only a loose connection or a minor adjustment is needed.
