Nick’s Union

Disclaimer: Nick has been my husband’s mechanic since before he was born. Of course, there’s a reason for that loyalty. Nick is that mythical creature that most of us only hear about in fairy tales: The honest mechanic. If he bills you for two hours of labor, he did at least two. If you want to save some money, he’ll try to make it happen with a reconditioned part or some other tactic. If he can’t fix it, he’ll refer you to someone else. Oh, and if you normally go to a quick-​stop lube place for an oil change, do your car a favor and have Nick give it a full and proper oil change, complete with lubing just about every moving part on the car as he gives it a once-​over. A little extra goes a long way.
You won’t find espresso machines or flatscreens here, and Nick can be a bit cantankerous sometimes. It’s a gritty, old-​fashioned shop, but it’s run by guys with actual ethics.
