I’ve been coming to Nick for as long as I can remember, and there’s truly no one else I would trust with my family’s cars. Nick isn’t just a great mechanic—he’s an exceptional owner who genuinely cares about the people he serves.
From routine maintenance to unexpected issues, he has helped my entire family for years, always going above and beyond to make sure we’re taken care of. His honesty, professionalism, and attention to detail are unmatched. You never feel like you’re being upsold or rushed—instead, he takes the time to explain what’s going on, what’s necessary, and what can wait.
On top of that, the service is fast, reliable, and incredibly thorough. Nick treats every car as if it were his own, and that peace of mind is priceless. It’s rare to find someone in this business who combines skill, integrity, and genuine kindness the way he does.
If you want a mechanic who will look out for you and your family for life, go see Nick. He’s been amazing to us for decades, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

It is very hard to find a car repairs shop with honest service, everyone knows that. Well, I found it by trusting the reviews in Google! After a year of using their service, I can say that I agree with the reviews, this team is good.
Nick is a gentleman, always giving a knowledgeable advice in the client’s interest. He even stopped me to repair a car that needed to be replaced, saving my money. He could just do the opposite but refused it. Nick also has a good team of mechanics, doing a fast and reliable job, at a good price.
I recommend this car repairs shop to anyone interested.

Excellent work. Fixed my 1970 plymouth fury and it never rode so well. Not afraid of a challenge and does a genre at job

Great neighborhood car repair. Nick the owner insures the repairs are done right. And the prices absolutely fair. Would highly recommend Engine works.

I can’t thank nick enough for all the work he has done for me and my family members and friends. His work is top notch and he is always ready to answer my questions. I will be honest, I can get annoying with my questions, especially about if my car is ready, but nick is tolerant, understanding and an all around great guy and mechanic. It will be a really bitter sweet day when he retires.

Nick Karanicolas at The Engine Works and his crew of mechanics are extremely good. I've had everything from NYS inspections, to oil changes, engine idle, tire leaks, to exhaust system maintenance repairs done. Nick and his team are real professionals who provide great automotive care at very fair prices and stand behind their work. They can be very busy, so call ahead to schedule an appointment if you are short on time. Nick is friendly and caring, his expertise is evident when it comes to troubleshooting and noticing potential problems down the road for your ride. You will not be disappointed with Nick's service.

One of the few great mechanics left, I trust what they say the problems are, if any, and I am truly grateful to have found a shop like them

I had the pleasure of being introduced and recommended to Nick at The Engine Works. I needed a difficult repair on my GX470 which was very time consuming and it needed patience and experience to do the job right. I needed an evaporator coil on my air conditioning system which was located behind the dashboard that had to be completely removed. Nick and his master mechanic Chris did the job beautifully and very professionally. I was referred to them by another mechanic who told me they would do the job right. Very happy with the results. Thank you. I will recommend you to my friends and my customers. Nick was very honest and reasonably priced. Worth every penny. Drew :)
