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

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.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Steering & suspension replacement, Brakes, Battery

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!

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.

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

Nick and his team again did a great job on my '77 MGB. Nick is professional, courteous, and technically competent. He answered my questions patiently and took the time to explain the problems I had with the car and what he did to repair/replace. I give NV Expert European Auto Repair my highest recommendation for European auto maintenance, service and repair. Extremely satisfied!

Nick Feher is the most meticulous master mechanic I could ever wish for. He is truly a master that will make anything he works on look and perform like new or in my case better than new. He truly cares about his customers and the cars they bring him. My Datsun 240Z has never runs so good. Nick rebuilt and precisely balanced my SU carburetors and transmission and thoroughly went through the entire car. In the end, everything he touched looks and performs like new and my final bill was much less than I anticipated. I could not recommend Nick Feher and NV Expert European Auto Repair more. 5 Stars doesn't seem like enough.

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!Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Brakes, Oil changeServices: Air & cabin filter replacement, Brakes, Oil change

Nick rebuilt the transmission on my 2012 Jaguar XF. Great job. It shifts smooth again like it was new again. I can highly recommend Nick's repair shop.

I am new to the area and was recently experiencing a clicking sound with my Audi Q5. After researching plenty of local shops, I found NV and saw countless 5 star reviews. The owner Nick was able to get me in quickly, assess the damage and make the necessary major repairs within a day for an incredibly fair price. As a woman who knows nothing about cars, I was very comfortable at NV, Nick is extremely helpful and explained everything in layman s terms for me to understand. I took business cards on my way out to share with our neighbors. Very thankful to have found this shop!Service: General repairs & maintenance

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.

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 SeckerService: General repairs & maintenance

Nick Feher is hands down the best European car mechanic I have ever dealt with in Sarasota. He is courteous, intelligent, proactive, professional, and delivers on his promises. It is always straightforward dealing with him, and the cars leave his shop running well and spotlessly clean. I only trust our Rolls and our Benz to this mechanic. If you have an opportunity to work with Nick, rest assured you will get only the best possible service for your prized automobile. C Hurst

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.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Glad I contacted Nick and had never been to his shop previous. I am a snowbird that had a major knocking issue on my Jaguar. I was worried...He took me in the same morning I called, put it up on lift and found it was just some very very loose components that were banging around. if left untreated, it could have been a full roadside breakdown situation... So he fixed it with no problem for a very fair price. The point is that he was honest about the issue and didn't try to pad the bill. Nick is a straight shooter old school/hard working type of guy.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Nick Feher did an excellent job repairing the brakes on my 50 year old Maserati. He has the expertise to tackle any project, the experience and confidence to work on exotic and classic vehicles and completed the work in a timely manner at reasonable cost. I heartily recommend Nick to maintain and repair your car.Service: BrakesService: Brakes

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!

Met Nick Feher, while buying a V12 BMW 760, I asked him to perform the first complete service on it and examine any other problems car might have. We were treated truly like family, we waited for the car while at his garage, as we were travelling as soon as he completed all items. He was glad to answer all my pointed questions and further suggested I might call on his garage with any issues. He has since helped me diagnose BMW issues and helped with all technical questions. Even though I live in GA I plan to take my cat to Nick for any major work and inspections it might have. Boutique car mechanics that are knowledgeable and fair are difficult to find. I found my mechanic!

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.

Totally outstanding experience. Nick and his team were knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and lent a confidence all around. Brought in our Mercedes and Jaguar, and both were serviced efficiently and quickly -- and at 75% less than the dealers would have been. Would now not ever think of going elsewhere for service.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning, Oil changeServices: Air & cabin filter replacement, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning, Oil change

My 2007 Jaguar had a clogged a/c condensate drain line. My local dealers wanted a fortune to repair this. I drove 70 miles to the EV shop to have it done at a fair price. Nick the owner is an outstanding mechanic on European cars. His pricing is fair and his work is excellent. I recommend them highly.Service: Air conditioningService: Air conditioning
