I've finally found a mechanic I actually trust! My husband and I had been concerned about our car for the last 2 years since we discovered there was heavy sludging in the engine. Every quote we received to replace the engine was expensive and we didn't trust any of the mechanics we spoke with so we just kept putting off the decision. Last month, however, things got much worse and we knew we couldn't put off the decision any longer. After trying again in vain to find a mechanic we could trust not to rip us off, my husband's friend told him about Dave and Nippon Auto Works. After talking to Dave in detail we finally felt confident we had finally found a quality mechanic we could actually trust. I've never met a more sincere, honest, and hard working person in my life. My husband and I share one car, so Dave quickly arranged to get a replacement engine out of L.A. the same week (and not just any engine, but a high-quality replacement engine from Japan). He personally drove down to pick it up and then spent the entire weekend, when he is normally closed, to get the new engine installed. Nippon Auto Works is a small shop and Dave does all of the repairs himself, so we actually felt really bad that our single car situation meant Dave had to completely change his schedule to help us. No other mechanic would have done this for us but Dave was genuinely concerned that we would have to pay for an extended car rental so he went above and beyond to help us out in our difficult situation. The car is driving great now and we saved a ton of money by replacing the engine instead of buying a new car. Dave even replaced two belts, a hose, and the spark plugs, when he changed out the engine, and all total it still came out to less than what other mechanics quoted us just to replace the engine. We feel blessed to have found Dave and we'll never bring our car to anyone else. It's so refreshing to meet someone that is passionate about what they do and truly cares about their customers. Thanks again Dave you're the best! read more

I was first time customer. Mechanic is very honest, kind and reasonable price. I was fully satisfied. He will be my mechanic from now on. Also his shop is east side near mall. It is convenient location people who live this side of town. とても親切な方でした。初めに金額やかかる時間も教えて頂けました。east side には日本の整備工の方がいなかったのでとても便利になりました。 read more

Needed an AC recharge and oil change when I moved into town. Dave is an excellent, honest mechanic, gets the job done very quickly and fair with his pricing. Will definitely come back for any major jobs read more

I just had my Scion XA repaired by Dave and cannot help raving about his amazing service like everyone else has been!!!! He is certainly the nicest, most honest and skilled mechanic I have ever met and yet (drum roll please)...will be the least expensive for your needs because he would not charge you arms and legs for his quality work. Also, just by seeing him, you could possibly save hundreds and thousands of dollars you were about to be scammed by other shops for unnecessary jobs they pressured you to get done. Just because I never trusted those local mechanics, I used to go to the dealership for any repair needs and spend $100 plus at least a couple of hours waiting just for the diagnostic, let alone a lot more $$$ and all day if I needed anything done. Dave charged nothing for a quick inspection when I dropped in with a short notice and told me the "problem" I was told by other shop (not a dealership this time but a shady local business) was actually non-existent. So I ended up with having some other minor works done and his price was beyond reasonable. I already booked the next tune up and other works with him and am very happy that I finally found a "family doctor" for all my auto needs in the future. read more

I personally don't want to give Dave and his shop a good review only because I want to keep his services and shop a secret for myself. Being the selfless person that I am doing the right thing. Dave was very accommodating and got me in the next day to fix a myriad of things that have been left neglected on my Honda. Dropped off my car and was done a few hours later with a price waaay less than the dealer was asking. read more

Dave is a master mechanic. He knows his stuff. Easy to talk to and gets the job done.

I seriously will never go anywhere else for my car to be serviced. He's quick efficient kind, free Wi-Fi, free coffee, so comfortable waiting room, he books appointments and actually shows for them, I'm always happy. I usually buy gift certificates for my friends and family to come as well. They all love it. Do yourself a favor and go. read more

Amazing!!! He did my brakes and saved me money compared to the other 4 shops I called. Reliable, quick and friendly! Definitely be back for all my car repairs! Thank you Dave!! read more

My go to Auto Mechanic. I originally got a Groupon for an oil change a couple years ago. Since then I've been coming back to Dave for all my car troubles. Very friendly and trustworthy. He is always accommodating and is very knowledgeable. Im happy to support a small business like his and I will continue to do so. I know good people and Dave is good people. read more

Best shop EVER for service and repair. I can't recommend Dave highly enough! Honest, very reasonable pricing, keeps to his schedule. He was able to easily diagnose a problem that 2 other shops could not! I live +20 minutes away but this is now the only shop where I will take my car. Completely worth the drive for peace of mind and a mechanic you can trust. read more

Dave at Nippon Auto Works is awesome. He's super responsive and easy to work with and can accommodate your schedule. Just call ahead! Dave performs the work so you always know what you get and he is super thorough and efficient. I'm always happy to support small businesses and you'll always get excellent and prompt service. read more

Our Japanese friends recommended Nippon Auto Works and the service is fantastic! They fixed a problem on our 2006 Toyota Sienna van a few months back and it runs so nice now. Currently my 2003 Lexus is getting serviced for a radiator leak and I really appreciate the detailed explanation and time took to SHOW me the problem. The owner, Dave, genuinely seems to love working on cars. You can sense excitement in his voice as he talks about your car. The shop is small and I imagine I shouldn't even post a review because it might make them even busier which would mean that when I need them to work on my car they might not be available! But this shop deserves many good reviews. Thank you so much N.A.W. read more

I'm very satisfied with the level of service & quality of work at this shop. I have set an oil change appointment the day prior & upon arrival I was 10 minutes early for my appointment. Dave, the mechanic greeted me right away & informed me that he will start right away & it will be about 30 minutes. I then proceeded to wait in the waiting room & sign the needed documents for my oil change visit. 10 minutes have passed & at this point I was just timing when & how much more till the 30 minutes timer will come. Finally I hear a car start then pull out of the garage hoping it was mines & to my surprise Dave entered a minute later and announced that its "good to go, everything looks good". It took about 20 minutes from check in to to check out compared to the 30 mins that was promised. I was very impress! The car is running great & ready to go for another road trip. Thanks Dave & Nippon! I will definately come back on the next visit whether for another oil change or some other car related problems. read more

The mechanic here is very friendly, helpful, and totally transparent for what NEEDS and what doesn't need to be done to your car. He is great at estimating your wait time and does a good job scheduling you in. Good honest mechanics are hard to find but you'll for sure find one here at Nippon! read more

So excited to have found Dave. Used Yelp, actually, and so glad I did. He is personable, helpful, and honest. I've found a good mechanic in Vegas and I'm so grateful. read more

Great place. Came in 20 minutes early for my appointment, got me in rite away and out in 20 minutes. Friendly and nice. Definitely will go back. read more

This place is the best! Dave is so honest and he will give you the best price! I am so glad I found this place. Now I don't have to go anywhere else. Highly recommended! read more

Nippon Auto Works - The outside view - Auto Repair Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Dave is an honest, straightforward guy. Got my Lexus fixed without any fanfare. Recommend him.

I have been going to Dave for a few years now. He does all of my oil changes and has also completed some minor auto repairs. Recently, I was having problems with my car starting. Dave went above and beyond for me to get my car running again. He has great customer service and makes sure that the job is done correctly and efficiently. I even had my car towed by one of his vendors. The whole ride, the tow guy spoke very highly of Dave and his knowledge of cars. read more

I was recommended here by a coworker and I'm glad I went. My cigarette lighter / USB went out. I called first before I went and Dave answered. Saying to come right in. As soon as I arrived, he stopped what he was doing and immediately checked my fuse and replaced it. Took less than 10 minutes. I tried to pay him and he refused. (Maybe because it was such a small thing to him?) But I'll definitely be coming back. Dave is a very nice and helpful guy! read more

Dave is the owner, operator and tech. It's a one man operation here, but what an operation it is. Dave is the first and only truly honest auto mechanic I've found, he won't try and squeeze any money out of you, and he does amazing work. He'll also try and find the most economical solution to your automotive problems. read more

I have been going to Dave for years. I really like him and appreciate his honestly and hard work. I highly recommend him!!!!!! 3 cheers for Dave :) read more

Nippon is a local hidden gem in the Henderson area. I have a car that only takes synthetic oil and to date they have the best prices I could find in the Las Vegas valley. The service was extremely fast and the owner was extremely friendly, I will definitely be returning! read more

IF YOU NEED A MECHANIC - DAVE IS YOUR MAN!!! Very helpful guy! Very prompt and makes sure that your satisfied with his work. Highly recommended! read more

I am so happy with them! I came in for a break job and they said my breaks are good! I needed my oil pan changed and he was willing to get it done instead of my break job without me having to reschedule. Thanks I will definitely return! read more

Absolutely amazing man. He is so helpful and I always go to him to get my oil changed. If you want honesty, this is the place to go.

Great mechanic , just moved into the area and my Eclipse needed a timing belt (interference motor). I wanted to find someone I could trust to do it. I looked on yelp and didn't really trust most places as if it goes wrong, the engine head would probably need to be replaced. Then I found Nippon auto works and read the reviews, I texted the mechanic (Dan) and he responded right away. We setup for an appointment and he got the timing changed right away. Service was great, location is great (go walk down to the galleria or costcos while you wait). I am not in Henderson a lot because of my work, but when I am back, I will definitely be calling Dan to work on my car. Very honest and up front, the number he estimate is what he charged. My first review on Yelp, but had to praise Nippo auto works and Dan for great work done. read more

So I had just left LEXUS after a warranty covered service and car wash, and found Nippon on Groupon. I called Dave to see if my car qualified for the Groupon oil change. Then I told him I was on that side of town and could he squeeze me in today. I was at his shop within 15 mins. He greeted me and started working on my car immediately. I was probably in and out in 20-25 mins. This is a typical Mom and Pop shop, which I really like to support. I appreciated the quickness of it all, as I had other errands to run. It was very nice to check this off my list without all the extra waiting around! We discussed other vehicles and services he offers and works on for future needs. I would definitely recommend this place. A little gem nestled behind a lot of other commercial buildings. You probably have even driven by it a few times without noticing. As I thanked him and was leaving, he handed me a punch card for future visits. He also gave me the walk in price without a Groupon, and it was still reasonable. Check it out for yourself! read more

A hidden gem. I am totally impressed with this small mom and pop totally professional auto mechanic! I called and Dave, a very friendly and accommodating man (now that I know him) answered I made an appointment for an oil change. He was willing to honor an old coupon I had for this place (rare) and he was also able to get me in that day. I completely no showed my appointment without realizing until hours later!! I called right before to they were closing to apologize and to make an appointment for the next day and he said he'd wait for me to come today!!! So nice and very efficient! The area it's in is kind of cool too, as it's and industrial auto workshop place with all kinds of different auto specialty businesses and garages. I totally recommend over any corporate place that tries to nickel and dime you and tell you you need work on stuff that you don't. Dave is awesome! read more

Came in for an oil change from Groupon and he really went above and beyond without charging extra. Really impressed with the service and I will be back for sure read more

I sent a text yesterday to schedule an appointment today for a synthetic oil change and tire rotation. He responded promptly and I had an appointment today at Noon. The service was quick and the price was even better!!!! It is a small shop and appears to be a one man show but I was out of there within 30 minutes for the entire service. I would definitely recommend this shop and I'll be back! :) read more

I have found my forever mechanic. Not only did he have my car done before the time he promised, he is very reasonably priced. My mother goes to him and he came highly recommended by her. I will be referring him to everyone I know. To top it off, he is a really nice guy! read more

I've been traveling cross country with a stop in Henderson to visit my daughter. The car needed an oil change and I didn't want to go to those franchise places that try to sell you everything under the sun when all you want is an oil change. So, I went with a Groupon for an oil change and was pleasantly surprised. This is a one-man operation. I called and asked if I could come in an hour. He said, "sure." I made it earlier and he took my car right inside, immediately, and did the oil change. Once there, I decided to check out the other Yelp reviews and was so happy that they confirmed my first impressions. I told him that I don't live locally but that my daughter does and she doesn't have a mechanic. He gave me a punch out card where I can buy 4 oil changes and get the 5th free. And, the price of the oil changes are $19.99. He punched the card for me and told me I could give it to my daughter. That was so nice of him ;) I told him that I will have my daughter bring her car to him. I'm so glad this works out. Now, I don't have to worry about my daughter getting ripped off when she needs work on her car. read more
