If you are stranded on the roadside with a vehicle not working and need 24hrs emergency auto repairs, Nick's Automotive in Indio is your best choice!Nick and his crew really went out of their way to make sure our vehicle was repaired and back on the road while we were traveling to California in March 2024. Our Honda minivan broke down on the side of the highway about 15 miles from his shop. Nick is the kind of business owner who delivers exactly what he promises. Can't say enough good things about Nick and Nick's Automotive. Never met him before this situation but he's someone you can trust.We called his business at 4pm on a Wednesday afternoon and had our vehicle fixed by 9pm that same day. His crew replaced our vehicle's bad alternator and even had one of his staff drive out to where we were stranded and pick up the rest of my family who were unable to ride in the tow truck.Thank you Nick and crew!! Grateful for small businesses like this one that define going above and beyond for their customers!

Life saver! My window was stuck down and I'm traveling for work and staying in my car. Nick's got it up for much less than the others in no time at all. I'm writing this after an oil change at American Tire about five minutes away. I forgot to tell them the window can't be rolled down and it was stuck. They wanted to charge me $200 to get the window back up and two hours wait time.I called Nick's again and they got me in right away for a fraction. It was interesting that after they heard my call with Nick's and American Tire guys said they would do it for $44 with a two hour wait time. I just went to Nick's. Thanks for the amazing service!

What an incredible shop! Service was quick, VERY fairly priced, and it is clear that Nick and Jesse know what they are doing. Worked very well on my European vehicle, servicing my Porsche as it should and diagnosing the issue well. My new go-to shop! Highly recommend it.

What a place! 24/7 mechanic is a God send! Although my vehicle wasn't able to be serviced after 10 pm because of parts, I was able to get my vehicle towed from 0100am and sent there after my car had broken down going to Blythe for the night. As for how long it took, I left my vehicle under his care Thursday morning and went to Blythe. I came back to my car ready Friday afternoon!I knew of some problems my car had and was meaning to get to them on my own but he caught all of them! I only had enough for the fix but if I had more money I would've left my car to him to do a full service of all the problems! Keep it up Nick! Like I said in person, if I lived nearby, you'd be my mechanic!

Ever since a family member referred us to him . Nick and his crew have been nothing but a blessing to us. Now my whole family deals with him with repairs and also buying vehicles. Nothing but positive experiences with Mr. Desert Auto. True man of his word his warranties are honored and pricing is beyond fair. It s hard to find someone you can trust in the auto repair business. Well Nick and the Mr Automotive Team are those guys you can trust. Family and friends won t go anywhere else. Trust these guys I m telling you.Services: Electrical repair, Air & cabin filter replacement, Exhaust, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Auto interior vacuuming, Battery, Oil change

On our way out for vacation from Phoenix, we had a little car trouble. I was searching for anywhere in Indio we could get to and Nick's automotive was available for us to come in on Saturday. Nick was so nice and helpful. We had to wait until Monday to be able to get the part we needed which was no biggie. Once we were able to get the part needed they got it replaced for us quickly so we could get back on the road. Much appreciation! Would definitely recommend Nick's automotive.

My car broke down and I was on the side of the road waiting for a tow. It was 8:00 at night and everywhere was closed except for Nick s. I called and they assured me they would be open when the tow truck was finally able to get me. They fixed the problem within an hour and didn t make me feel bad for not getting an oil change when I should ve. Also didn t charge me for two services. If I wasn t moving, I would go to Nick s for everything.

Our car started chugging while we were driving around Joshua Tree. We called Top Desert, they were so nice. Had us come right in, they ran diagnostics to be sure about the problem. Nick and Alan worked the problem but weren't able to get the part till the next day. We had no transportation, so Nathan was so kind and drove us back to our campsite. They got it done the next day. So professional!! Eternally grateful.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Allen and Nick from Top Desert Automotive saved my father and myself during our road trip to Mexico. We were stranded at a gasoline station at 9PM, Nick and Allen came to our rescue at the gasoline station where my '78 Ford Bronco broke down. They provided fast and effective service. They were very professional and showed their expertise in their craft by fixing my bronco in a short amount of time. Not only were Nick and Allen very professional, but they were extremely friendly and are amazing people!!! Thank you Allen & Nick from Top Desert Automotive for going above and beyond, thank you for coming through for us and working overtime!!!Service: Electrical

Top Desert Automotive is fantastic! My car started to violently shake when I accelerated, and thankfully Top Desert was right off the freeway. All of the employees are incredibly nice, and they worked very quickly to help get us back on the road- even going above and beyond to stay after hours! The problem ended up being an easier and cheaper fix than expected, so that s always a bonus!Definitely head over to Top Desert Automotive if you need car work, or if you re searching for a new mechanic!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Absolute professionals! I came in with fluid leaking from my transfer case. Apparently I had a seal that had to be replaced. They also replaced my steering rack, power washed the underside, removed rust and gave me a protective undercoat all for significantly lower price than other shops I had gone to had quoted. 5 stars all the way. I wish all auto shops were like them.

Called the shop about having my rear brakes looked at with possibly a defective caliper as I had just had them replaced in Phoenix, the guy says give him a few minutes and he will call me back about 10 minutes later I get a text asking my Vin and what I'd need done. Never heard another word again....so if ya take pride in your reviews maybe you should pit a little more focus on your customer service and not your Google profile.

Nick has been my only mechanic for about a decade. I trust him 100%! Whenever I've needed emergency service, Nick comes through everytime. He's always honest, upfront and more than fair with prices.
