I rented a Coachmen RV this past fall for a Rte 66 adventure with my wife. The NY Sate woman I rented fromhad no idea about the operation of the vehicle. The 1st weekend with the unit was horrible. While passing throgh the greater Cleveland area a cousin referred me to Nick.Nick took us right in. He spent 3 hours with me, gave the RV a thorough exam, took care of all that had to be taken care of. Provided an indepth explanation of AC, furnace, water heater, cabin battery charging system, water tank, care of black and grey water drainage protocol.......Nick was a Godsend to us. An extremely talented and knowledgeable man.I was also impressed by his sincere nature laced with honesty and integrety.Nick became aware of the reason for our cross country trip, my wifes failing healthbeing the reason we were doing this trip while we still could. Nick is a compassionate human being. He even coached me on the value of good nutrition and shared his own life story with his health situation.A freindship was formed during my visit with Nick. I made a point to phone Nick from Arizonasharing with him my deep appreciation. Nick is the real deal!

Have always taken my car to the local dealership for maintenance. This last time I felt I was being taken advantage of. He was recommended and did not disappoint. Fixed my issue at a fraction of the dealer estimate. Very responsive and knowledgeable. Thx Nick and Team!

We were on a cross country trek and our RV broke down. Nick Brunner dropped everything and helped us get back on the road in an hour. He was very knowledgeable about RVs, and very thorough with his work. My family was super thankful for his help!

The type of service and assistance you find with Nick and his shop is nearly impossible to find anymore. They are stand up people that truly care about community and have a passion for their trade.I cannot say enough good about them.If you want honesty, integrity and quality then Nick Brunners shop is the place for you.

I needed a brake job on my vehicle. Nick did what was needed and did not “over recommend “ additional services. Cost was reasonable and the work was done in a timely fashion. FYI, if you do pay by CC, you do pay the merchant fee so you can plan ahead of time how you want to pay for the service.

I tried to start my car today, but I had left an inside light on over the weekend and the battery was dead. I just moved to the area, so I didnt know anyone nearby that I could call for a jump. I was in a BIG hurry, so I Googled mechanics near me and saw that Nick Brunner Auto Service had a very high rating. When I called I was shocked when Nick himself came to the phone and told me hed be here in 15-20 minutes. Just like he said, he pulled in my driveway right on time. He jumped the car, and had me on my way in less than 5 minutes. He told me the fee up front on the phone, which I felt was very reasonable considering it was an emergency call. Guess whos my new mechanic? Professional, reasonable, and true to his word! Thanks Nick!

Review №16

Been going to Nick for 20 years. Best thing about Nick is he always tries to find a way to fix/repair our cars in the best and most economical way possible. Never had any issues with Nick trying to upsell. Price has always been very fair and the work done has been top notch. I recommend Nick and his business to any one looking for an honest place to take their vehicles. Two thumbs up!

I thought that having my car towed there late in the day would guarantee that I’d have to wait at least another day to have my car back. But it was done really quick! And it wasn’t expensive! I’ll definitely take my car here next time.

Nick was very professional. I took my 2011 Honda Civic to him knowing I had several things that needed to be looked into and fix. He is very knowledgeable. He let me know I needed tires and asked how much I was able to spend. His prices are good and service is excellent. I will continue to take my car to him as repairs are needed. I highly recommend Nick Brunner auto service.

Review №22

I was recommended to stop by nick’s place by a co-worker after I unexpectedly got a flat a work. It was late in the day and many auto services were closed. It was close to closing time for Nick’s auto service but when I called he was very welcoming and told me to come right on down. When I did he was nice enough to order me a set of new tires and even threw in a tire to replace my flat until my new ones came in. He fit me in within two days and now I have brand new tires and Nick has a new loyal customer!! He’s very nice, honest and professional. I’ll recommend anyone I can to his place! Thank you!!!

Review №23

I dont think Ive ever had better quality service from any other business, in any industry. I was impressed by the kindness and expertise Nick possessed after just one minute of speaking to him on the phone. He never pushed a sale on me. Instead, he began our conversation by merely educating me on a purchase I was about to make. Once I went in-person, I was blown away by business and his character. He was happy and excited to share his extensive knowledge about the vehicle as I considered my purchase. Upfront he offered continuous help with the vehicle, even after I eventually take it off the lot. His background in the industry is apparent by the level of detail he puts into ever car he works on. It sounds cliche, but it is apparent he places much greater value on helping others than he does on simply making. I am not exaggerating when I say that I look forward to working on this vehicle with him more in the future, and as long as I am living in the area he has a customer for life. If you are anywhere near the area, I highly suggest taking your business to Nick Brunner.

Review №29

Nick was the only mechanic of the 7 I called who was A) willing to look at my vehicle on short notice on a Saturday and, B) spontaneously willing to do the repair on the spot.Nick not only instantly diagnosed my issue, he did the repair in an incredibly short period of time, for which I was very grateful as the issue, if unaddressed, could have caused serious damage to the engine.I will take all my vehicles here for repair. This was the single best experience I have had with a mechanic in over 40 years of vehicle service. Thanks, Nick!

Review №34

My front left shock broke so I needed my front shocks/struts replaced. I had my truck lifted 3 inches a couple years ago, so that made the replacement more challenging. Not only did Nick replace the struts to address my problem, he pointed out something else that needed attended to and showed me how to address it myself.From the moment I arrived, Nick made me feel like he wanted to help me fix my problem. During those few moments we discussed the problem and arranged a time to fix it, I knew I had made the right decision to come to his shop. I highly recommend you consider Nicks place for your repairs.Thanks again, Nick!!!!!

Nick to the rescue! Our van developed a significant oil leak, that my husband wasn’t able to fix, during our cross country road trip. Nick was fantastic. He got us in right away, diagnosed AND fixed the problem within a few hours. We were back on the road again in no time. His wife even came to pick us up at a local park (which we had walked to) when he was done! Go see NICK

Nick helped me out, I had a frozen idler pulley that ate my serpentine belt. In addition to replacing the faulty one. He checked the others so that they wouldnt fail in the near future. Most places would have just done the frozen one and let you go. Thanks Nick!

These gentlemen are very good at what they do and have been doing it for a very long time. Like most others have said - quick and direct service. I called Nick last night at 530 (30 minutes to close) and he had me in the next morning (today) at 10 am... Dave and another (forget the guys name now, my bad dude) got 5 tires mounted and balanced in under an hour 15 and asked all the right questions. Highly recommend this place if youre looking for people who will treat you like a person as long as you do the same.

I called about having a truck at a nearby dealer looked at before I made a 2 hour trip to come look at it. For a reasonable price Nick offered to go get the truck and bring it back and check it out before I made the trip. He was thorough and gave me a list of everything wrong with the truck as well as some service records. Very happy with his services.

Had to put in a new starter in my Audi. I had the starter, so I scheduled to have them put it in. I was able to get in the next day. Stated it may take 3-4 hours. They had it done in less than 2 hours. Very quick and for less than the quote. Very good work. I will go to Nick Brunner again for work on my auto.

Review №61

I think Ill start with how disrespectful he was towards me when I asked him a question regarding the car my son was considering purchasing from him. It was bad enough that my 17 year old almost walked away from the sale at that point. However, he had stars in his eyes, falling in love with the car at first sight and boy did Mr. Brunner see my son coming! He lied about the car never being in an accident, Ive had TWO mechanics and a VIN check verify this, and the simply problem of bad gas and a misfiring spark plug?Try dead cylinder head. He assured my son that the check engine light would turn off after he drove it for a little bit. Again, not true. This man took advantage of a teenager who saved his money for his part-time job for almost a year to buy that car and should be ashamed of himself.

Nick got me in same day for a concern with my exhaust and not only accommodated that issue, but also addressed other issues I may have needed like an oil change/tire rotation and cleaning of my filters. Honest work, efficient, and fairly priced, all completed just within a few hours. Nick is also personable and very trustworthy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my family’s cars! This service is unlike any other experience I have ever had. Sincere appreciation for everything today!

Nick was gracious enough to check out a car for my teenage daughter. She was considering purchasing the vehicle so he took a look at it and went over it with me.

First and foremost I want to thank this man for helping me get home a couple weeks ago. I was experiencing issues with my cooling system at the time and I was over an hour away from home. The superintendent at my job told me to follow him there. I got there and in 10 mins this man fixed my car and I made it all the way home. I greatly appreciate the work theyve done and God bless you Nick. Plus they have a surplus of affordable used cars...Even though God gets the Glory first and foremost....thank you sir. Highly recommend this shop.

First time customer, Nick gave me a very great deal on the installation on a few tires on my car along with taking car of the old ones for me! I really appreciate all the work him and his team did! It took just alittle longer than I expected but when I called to check in everything was explained to me clear. Overall I did not have any problem with my experience there! I’ll be glad to go back when I need service.

If I ever need work done in Mentor this is where I will be taking my car. This mechanic is very honest and helpful.I broke down on the way home with a coolant leak and pulled my car into their shop. They handled everything very professionally, were reasonably priced, and got my car done by lunch the next morning.When I picked it up they showed and explained all the work that was done to my car so I know whats going on.They went above and beyond with their work and customer service. Thanks again for the service!

Review №85

Nick is a very kind a knowledgeable Mechanic.I have a 2000 Camry and I came back from a long trip and it wouldnt start I called road side assistance and after a few failed jumpstart attempts. The roadside assistance technician told me that he thought my alternator was bad and he could fix it for me since he was a mechanic on the side with his own business, he also recommended I should change my timing and serpentine belts. I picked up the parts and the guy never called me back to come fix the car. Since I had already bought parts, I knew I couldnt take it to the dealership. And at the end of the day theyd charge me more than what my car is worth for this kind of maintenance.This very unfortunate story lead me to calling Nick Brunner Auto Service for the first time and it was the best decision I could have made. Nick was able to get me in the same afternoon I called and could have provided towing if my insurance refused.After thoroughly checking the battery, alternator, and belts he found it was the battery and the advice I had gotten was completely wrong. He called me to let me know and called the store where I bought my battery on my behalf to check the warranty. It was under warranty and and I saved tons of money, because he ran proper tests.I enjoyed my experience going to Nick Brunner Auto Service because Nick is a genuinely good person. He is not pushy about making repairs to the car that are superfluous but WILL tell you the truth about what is wrong with the car and how serious it is. Also since hes the Boss you can ask him an estimated price and it sticks, unlike the multiple different Toyota Dealerships Ive been to in Ohio and other states where the maintenance bill just keeps going up as you sip coffee and watch day time TV.If you are looking for good work at a reasonable honest price Nick is your guy.

I’ve been having problems with my steering wheel shaking while driving, I called and dropped it off the same day, Nick was wonderful and let me borrow one of the cars there as mine was being worked on (it worked great), and he got the problem figured out, called before he did anything with it, and gave me some wonderful suggestions! Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be going back!

Review №93

I have an old Ford Fusion 2008. Almost 200,000 miles. Hard to keep old cars going. Had a check engine light and no heat. Took my car to Nicks since my old car place was becoming increasingly expensive. Dave at Nicks took really good care of me. Didnt just start replacing everything in site. Took the time to diagnose and explain things to me. Right now engine light is off and car has heat again. Price was good too.About what I expected for the time they had to put in diagnosing the problem. Might be some stuff down the road but hey, its an old car. Had a good experience at Nick Brunners Auto Service. Think I will be going back again.
