Nichols & Sons Auto Machine Shop

Great auto shop, especially if you have a Prius! If you have any questions or issues with your hybrid — this is the place to go. We’ve brought our car here several times, and each time the service was fast, reliable, and on time. The staff is very polite and professional, always take time to explain everything clearly. Prices are fair and reasonable, with no pressure for extra services. Highly recommend — this is now our go-to shop!

I recently visited Nichols and Sons to have my Subaru cylinder heads refinished. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the experience. The facts of my encounter are as follows: 1. Rough belt sanding: Upon receiving the cylinder heads, I noticed the sealing surface had been belt sanded very roughly, resulting in deep scratches. This raised concerns about the sealing capability of the heads, which I brought up with the staff. 2. Ignored concerns: My concerns about the rough sanding were brushed aside. Despite expressing my worries regarding the sealing issues that might arise, the matter was not taken seriously. 3. Poorly cleaned heads: I observed that the heads were dirty, filled with oil, dirt, and remnants of gasket material. 4. Leakage issues: As expected, after installing the cylinder heads, they immediately began to leak oil and coolant, a direct consequence of the inadequate preparation of the heads. 5. Unpleasant response: When I returned to the shop to request proper resurfacing and cleaning, an employee became offended and told me to take them elsewhere. This was unprofessional and did not address the core issue. On a positive note, the shop provided me with a refund for

I've had two motors machined at this shop and had a pair of VW heads looked at. Their machining work is excellent! They're old school and know how it is supposed to be done. They're also honest! The VW heads were done! They didn't just wanna fix what I asked them to do and collect a check - they let me know that the heads were done and weren't worth the repair when I could buy a new set online for less than repairing them. Their painting engine skills could use some work LOL, but they're not an engine paint shop. They machine engines and auto parts and they do a damn good job at doing it. BTW guys - that boat is STILL running so strong and I love this engine job you guys did for me. Thanks again.

I agree with previous poster, Glenn is amazing and these guys do fantastic work. They really helped me with my old vw rabbit head. Honest, they get back to you like they say they will, they don't lie by omission, and it was a pleasure working with them. I'll go there again if and when it's needed, for sure. Thanks!

Glenn is amazing, he is very smart and good at what he does. We have taken 3 cylinder heads to him so far and plan on bringing a lot more work his way in the future. Glenn is always friendly and makes you feel welcomed when you are there. I highly recommend Nichol's & Sons!!!
