Nick and the team did an outstanding job in repairing my Fiat. Reasonable price, great customer service, and a professional environment. Highly recommended and thank you!

Once you take your car to Nick, you’ll never take it anywhere else. Old, new, car you drive or garage Queen - he knows his stuff and his pricing is fair.

I’d like to give 5 ⭐️’s to NV Auto NV European Auto for their excellent service. Everyone was professional and knowledgeable about my vehicle. I was in and out in a timely manner and my car rides better than it ever has. I recommend everyone to these guys!!

Nicholas was great! Ordered the part we needed for our 2004 Audi and replaced it the next day. I highly recommend Expert European Auto Repair.


Jun 06, 2024

My 2008 Jaguar needed to find this place to be at home with other older sports cars. The shop floor is a history lesson. So is Nick, who diagnosed the problem in a few hours and could have the parts the next day. I drove away happy and highly recommend them.


Jun 06, 2024

Nick has a real talent for troubleshooting and will only fixs what is required at a fair price. Highly recommended!


Jun 06, 2024

Nick is great to deal with. Workmanship is outstanding. Would highly recommend this shop


Jun 06, 2024

Nick is very professional and was very thorough in his inspection of my vehicle. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a fair and reasonable European auto repair expert.


Jun 06, 2024

Service was quick….finished at the time promised and the proprietor is friendly.


Jun 06, 2024

The best there is. Exceptional, enjoyable, and reasonable. To read about it and experience it is two different things. I don’t think I can do justice in words for what I think. The last mechanic one will ever need. Thank you


May 06, 2024

Nick is one of the most knowledgeable and professional mechanics I’ve met. Fair pricing, great service. Highly recommend!


Mar 06, 2024

Nick, the owner is there all the time he’s been in the business for over 30 years straight shooter and master technician I got a quote from the garage in town for $6000. I stopped into him and we got it done for 1000 because they were lying to me. He test drives every car before he getsit back to the customer and is very accessible on the phone. I highly recommend this business


Mar 06, 2024

Very helpful and knowledgeable!


Feb 06, 2024

Great experience, Nick and his team are very knowledgeable, professionals & personable. He went above the basics when dealing with my fussy Range Rover.


Feb 06, 2024

I am new to the Sarasota FL area and brought my Maserati to NV for a bunch of services not covered by my CPO warranty. Nick and his team knocked it out in less than a day at a fraction of the cost of Maserati. I recommend to anyone who has a European car in the Sarasota FL area. 5 stars and more!


Feb 06, 2024

I can't say enough positive things about Nick. His attention to detail is unmatched in my 40 years of playing with cars. I brought a TR6 in for a suspension rebuild and a few other odds and ends. His work exceeded my expectations, every part he removed from the car to be reinstalled was restored to as new condition. The car now runs and handles flawlessly. If you are looking for a place to bring your European import NV should be your first and last stop.


Feb 06, 2024

I had a great experience with Nick, he was great, he knows what he is talking about and and I'm glad I found him. It's important to have someone who you can trust when it comes to your car.


Feb 06, 2024

I purchased a vehicle previously repaired by this business, and I use the word "repaired"extremely lightly. I would not trust them to work on an exotic car. This establishment had absolutely no business performing major engine work on a 918 Lotus engine. Had I known this repair facility was this inept for the repairs they attempted before my purchase,I would have never bought the car. If a negative star we're an available option that's what I would be giving this establishment.


Feb 06, 2024

It took a little longer than I had hoped, but dealing with foreign car parts ( Aston Martin) can be an issue. The end results where very good!! Very happy with the final results!! Thanks Nick


Feb 06, 2024

Nick abd his team are wonderful! They keep our BMW running flawlessly year after year! Always a great experience! 😍👍

Nick at N V is highly recommended and extremely knowledgeable in his work. Especially with the exotics. M&S Auto Sales

Nick was very helpful and very knowledgeable. Satisfied experience


Feb 06, 2024

The business that I had been using for service to my 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 closed their doors. I had been searching for a replacement. I found NV Expert European Auto Repair by accident and I'm glad I did. I stopped in and talked to the owner about his knowledge of Mercedes cars. 48 years of experience told me that he would take care of my car expertly. I dropped it off on a Monday afternoon and got it back the very next day. The service was done quickly, and I got back into my car with no hassle at all. I will be going back for other service when necessary. Top marks from me!


Feb 06, 2024

Wonderful experience from the first phone contact with Nick. He said he would return with a quote regarding my issues on my 2016 Smart Car. He set a appointment within a couple of days and completed all maintenance at a reasonable cost. I couldn't have been any happier.I have two Smart cars and he will be my repair shop for all my work.


Feb 06, 2024

Becoming a long time customer of NV European very quickly! They have more expertise, fairer prices, and better dispositions than any dealer. Better in every way and will be returning for the long term!


Feb 06, 2024

He did an awesome job on the car!


Feb 06, 2024

I could write a book about how amazing this place is but I’ll keep it short. From start to finish I was treated better than any other mechanics shop I’ve been to. The guys from Nick to all his crew just 5 star all the way around. My car runs better than it ever has everything’s perfect. I won’t take my Mercedes anywhere else again and that’s even over the dealership! Thanks Nick keep up the good work brother 😎💪🙏


Feb 06, 2024

Nick is a great guy, he did right by me and was patient throughout the entire process- straight to the point and got the job done, he even refilled my washer fluid without me asking- great guy all around


Feb 06, 2024

Nick provides superior expert service on our Audi Q5...highly recommend him after years of searching for a trustworthy mechanic...top notch!!!


Feb 06, 2023

I absolutely love Nick he really cares about his customers and their cars! He has been servicing my BMW for over a year now and he does great work, very honest, and never have an issue!! He really knows his European cars!

I brought a 1973 Fiat 124 spider in for brake and fan work. After, Nicholas mentioned the rear differential was leaking and he could fix it for $1000. After about six months of waiting, stopping by and checking on the car, and an endless bank of excuses, I eventually had to insist he give the car back. He claimed the rear differential leak was fixed; however, there was no oil in the differential when I arrived to pick up the car. He put it on a lift and filled it in front of me. I paid, left, and later realize he didn't give me a receipt. The car leaked differential oil all over my garage floor immediately. I returned to the shop and asked for an itemized receipt showing what parts had purchased. Nicholas refused. I gave him a demand letter requesting my money back. He smirked and said I'll see you in court.

I went to NV EUROPEAN AUTO REPAIR because they were listed as a approved shop for the aftermarket warranty on my 2012 BMW. I had just purchased the car and after my first fill-up of fuel I was experiencing I significant gas smell. When I took it to Nick Feher (owner) and explained my problem he assured me they could fully diagnose the problem and correct - but it could take a day or more to do so. He explained they would have to run diagnostics and probably pressure check the tank to help detect any leaks that could be the cause. So I lined up a rental car (out-of-pocket) and went on my way. The next day I called and was told my car was ready and no problem was found. I asked if they had done the pressurization to help find the problem and he said it wasn’t necessary as the diagnostics had shown no codes and they woul have if there had been a problem. So I paid him his 1 hour diagnostic fee of $165.00 + tax and went on my way thinking it had been a problem on my part of overfilling that tank (somehow?). The next fill up I was still gun shy and mad sure I stopped short of completely full. On my third fill up I topped it off and the fuel smell most definitely was still there!! Rather than returning to NV I took the car to a more local garage I had heard good things about and when they put the car on the rack it was immediately obvious there was a fuel leak (the left side of the tank was wet) and there was a problem. Further investigation required dropping the tank and the culprit (a bad top tank seal) was found. My warranty company did authorize them to replace the tank, but as they were not in the network I had to pay $200.00 out-of-pocket and get another rental car until work was completed. So what should have been a no-cost warranty repair for me when I first visited NV ended up costing me over $500.00 due to their ineptitude at finding the problem. I visited with Nick today (10/25/2022) and discussed this with him, thinking he would be a good businessman and least offer some reimbursement. BUT NOOO!! He said they had done their do diligence to find the problem - didn’t find a problem - and he certainly wasn’t going to give me any any money back! I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND OR DO BUSINESS WITH HIM AGAIN!!! Bob Secker

My husband took his 2013 bmw 535i to nick and he told him right away the problem, the car had 2 oil leaks. Nick fixed it and the car hasn't had any more problems since then.. Last week i took in my 2013 bmw 328i. For a ckeck since it was leaking alot of oil. Nick told me the oil leak were it was coming from but not only that , he made me aware of the belt was worn out . I had taken my car to the dealer mechanic before, and they had never said nothing about it. Wich im glad nick told me because of my safety of me and my daughter. I highly recommend nick very professional, and honest. Does an excellent job ..will continue to take my car for any further repairs


Feb 06, 2023

Nice customer service when they want to hook you up for service but after that … u will be „whooppeed” … get estimate $520 , after job was done came to pickup a car and bill was over $650 . … 1st they said will need 2.5 of labor maximum ( similar what dealer said ) but they billed me for 3.5 and additional parts when i get them all they need . Not fair at all… just make sure u got estimate in hand signed before job is done … before there was nothing else done besides changing a spark plugs.

The engine on my 2010 Mercedes e63 was seized and he unlocked my motor savings me thousands


Feb 06, 2023

Truly awesome people that know their stuff. Just did a timing chain on my 2014 Jetta and they did a great job. I highly recommend this shop for any European vehicle repair needs.


Feb 06, 2022

Nicholas talked to me right away when I showed up at his business. He did an on-site diagnosis the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I was worried about driving my car with the issue. He told me what the problem was, emailed me an estimate and scheduled me the following week. Repairs were completed on the date committed and the price was the same as the estimate. I would recommend this business.
