Niko is awesome! Bought a new to me Cayenne and had him service it. He was so nice and reassured me that I had found a great car in good condition. I’ll be taking this car to him for as long as I own it. Highly recommend if you want a great Porsche mechanic who is honest and fair.

Niko is fantastic. He did some work on our 911 4s. He was super gracious, bring it by, we'll get it checked out. Cleared codes replaced the gas cap. Done!!! Cars perfect. Brought our macan in, fixed the brakes, oil change. Done!!! We have found our forever home for our German babies. Thanks Niko. 100% happy.

Niko always takes care of us and is honest and up-front about everything. Excellent service, knowledgeable, and knows how to treat customers right. Highly recommend.

Aug 2024 update to previous review: once again had excellent experience with repairs done at Niko's shop. fixed what needed to be done at a fair price, and let me know what was still OK and didn't need to spend more $ on. Niko at Midtown Autoworks still believes in good ol' fashioned customer service. as if the great car care weren't enough, his Dad drove me to nearby car rental place, and they covered the cost of the rental car for the day. haven't had such great service in a long time, was truly surprising and refreshing.

Terrific service from Niko. I recently purchased a used MB. I was afraid he may find issues with it... but no! He is very honest and provided great expert work and was super informative!

Niko is awesome and honest. I’ve been looking for a new mechanic since mine retired years ago and Niko is the guy! Highly recommend. Fixed my car up great and much more reasonable than Porsche service.

Niko is the best! My Audi Q5 had a leak; the diagnostic was efficient and thorough. Pricing was fair and I received my car back the same day. The staff treated me superb…I am so thankful to have found Midtown!!

Really great experience. My time is limited, they understood that and accommodated me in every way. Had my service, brakes and called me an Uber.

The owner Niko is super nice a awesome mechanic specialist in all Porches and Mercedes-Benz cars. A ton cheaper than the dealership. I would highly recommend him.

I can count in one hand how many automotive shops I trust completely. Nico is trustworthy! He explains the repairs and provides the best outcome that fits your needs. He is professional, kind, patient and extremely knowledgeable and friendly. His prices are reasonable comparable to the dealership. I have saved thousands of dollars and for that I am grateful. I have been getting my Boxster fixed numerous times here. My dad also comes and gets his Porsches serviced here. We will remain loyal customers for life!!

I have taken my Mercedes to Niko for years. He is warm and professional and he doesn't talk down to me because I'm a girl. He also is way more affordable than the Mercedes dealership for my inspections. When I leave his shop I don't feel like I have been taken advantage of. He is the best!!!!

I requested a quote from Midtown Autoworks for a PPI on a flooded Porsche. The owner responded promptly with a pretty high quote compared to others after I responded with the links to the car for sales and carfax info. The owner urged me to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. This Porsche is expensive even with a salvage title. I figure I should use the 'best independent Porsche mechanics in town' to do this at a higher price for such a high risk car. It is almost near what a dealer would charge. I also ask the owner if he can make some recommendations on purchasing this car after the PPI. After that email, all communication stopped. The Porsche was sold shortly after. I sent more emails. crickets.

I was referred to Niko for a major maintenance on my GT3, and could not have been happier with the overall experience. Niko is everything you want in a mechanic - Honest, incredibly thorough, and fairly priced. To top it off, he’s a Porsche Master Technician and a super cool guy. I was extremely impressed with his level of detail and care from the second I handed over my keys. He truly treated it as if it was his own. A gem of a shop.

Feb 06, 2024

Niko and his crew are professionals. This shop estimated a couple of repairs and were able to do the repairs well under the estimate and three days faster than expected. Every aspect of the work was excellent. This is a shop that I trust and will return to. What a stroke of luck on my par tot find it.

Feb 06, 2023

I have had great experience with this Shop and my Cayenne S repairs. I am a repeat customer and just recently got jammed up with my best friend flying in from San Diego and my Porsche broken down. Niko took me right in - got the part and repaired it same day so I could get to the airport and get my friend. We hit a casino one day and wineries the next! Niko saved our weekend! Another downtown shop had misdiagnosed the repair and Niko got it right and saved me over a grand. He has a customer for life! Be sure to give him a shot.

Feb 06, 2023

Niko was incredibly nice and diligent when I approached him to perform a major service on my car. He made things as easy as possible for me, calling my insurance company many times to keep my out of pocket costs as low as possible. I can not recommend him enough.

Feb 06, 2022

Excellent service

Feb 06, 2022

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!

Feb 06, 2022

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!

Feb 06, 2022

Nico is the best!

Feb 06, 2022

Niko communicates well and their work is top notch!

Feb 06, 2021

2000 996 service. Honest service with reasonable prices. Highly recommend .

Feb 06, 2021

After several years taking my car to Niko... he's still "the one"! Although my Wife's car is still being serviced by the dealer, since it's 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 it's easily a 40 min drive. I'm happy to make that trek, well past many other service shops I've used in the past. (3+ years ago) Niko's great! Knowledge about Porsche, and a trustworthy mechanic. (It's a great family biz, his dad Spiro helps around the shop... which makes for comfortable chats when waiting for my car.)

Experienced.. excellent work.. and on time

Feb 06, 2021

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!

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 wasn't 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 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.

Feb 06, 2021

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. It's 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.

Feb 06, 2021

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.

Feb 06, 2021

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.

Feb 06, 2021

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+

Feb 06, 2021

Very knowledgeable and kind people, and just went in there for work shown on the dashboard of my wife's 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 don't charge what you get charged at the brand name dealer's service bay. Sometimes, not even half! Yet they do the same or better job! You can't go wrong here.

Feb 06, 2021

Very relaxed interpersonal skills - super friendly! I drive past several locations I could take our autos to (Porsche, Mercedes) but Nico's friendly demeanor and excellent service win out!
