Took my car in to have some front end work done, when I first picked the car up something just didn't seem right in the steering. I called and told them what it was doing and said I would try and bring it back in a few days. The next day Rick Nixon the owner, reached out to me and called and left a message for me. He was very apologetic and wanted me to get it back in so he could figure out what was going on. I took the car back and the next day Rick called to let me know the... See More

I've been going to see these guys since they opened and they've never failed me. Today I was on my way to work when my truck overheated. The tow truck came swiftly and they got me back to work right away. Thank you guys so much for all you do!

Had to be towed last night off of I44.....Couldn't ask for better assistance!!!! THe tow driver was courteous, called checking on me as he was enroute, went out of his way to take me home, and just so friendly. Totally eased my fears and made me feel safe... Felt like family!

These guys are the BEST!!! Honest and very competitive in pricing. When they do a job they do it right and don't try to sell you on things you don't need. I Highly recommend them to my family, friends, and anyone that need automotive care! Thank you guys for being so great! It's hard to find a good mechanic these days, but you guys take the cake! :D

Do NOT take your car here. My car got dropped off at 8:30 in the morning, and they didn't even look at it until the last hour of the day. When they were fixing my car, I called to see how they are doing(I was told it would be done by 3) because I had to work late in the afternoon. They were almost done, but then suddenly a new noise appeared and they were looking into it. Was I called to be informed of this extra charge? NO. So, I had to scramble to find a ride to work since we are a one car family and I ended up being late. They supposedly "finished" it that evening and never called. Guess what? There's still a noise that THEY caused. This business is unprofessional and disorganized. Do NOT take your car here.

Ladies - this is a garage you can go to and be treated with respect and given great service all at a reasonable price. Being a single woman and unable to work on my vehicle my friend Stephanie Halliwill is another lady who went to Nixon's. You really are treated very well. - My Rating from 1 to 10, I give them a 9.7 ..... A 5 $tar shop and let's not forget - they will come and get your vehicle and tow you back to the garage. Please go with confidence.

Don't go to Nixon's. They will scam you. I paid over $2000 and my car wasn't even fixed. They are dishonest. I would rate them using negative stars if I could. I had to give them one star for this to post.

I would not recommend Nixons for fleet owners.it is hard to track your vehicles they don't put the vin on your bill .snd with out the vin I don't see how they can track it either. Also they will tell you your vehicle will be ready this day…

Was driving long distance to see my kid for the Thanksgiving holiday when the check engine light came on. Happened to be close to Joplin, and since I had just spent money on a full service check in OKC I figured someone might have left a cap off. Stopped checked oil and fluids all were okay but still the engine light was on. Well I was not getting to my destination until after dark and Joplin was a great place to make sure I did not have issues someplace I did not want to break down in the cold. Found Nixon's, but they were jammed packed they day before Thanksgiving of course. Told Josh and his team the situation and they had me in and out in 15 minutes, it appears my o2 sensors were triggering the light but they were working fine according to the mechanic. It seems I can't take a car into a shop these days without dropping 300 bucks. The piece of mind Josh and his team gave me for the rest of my six hour drive cost me $15 bucks...
Great group of mechanics and guys. Thanks all for a much easier trip.

Nixon's Garage did an excellent job of replacing a 2.2L 4 cylinder motor in my '04 Chevy Malibu at a fair and reasonable price. I have put about 6,000 miles on my replacement motor and I'm happy to report that the motor is running perfectly and I get 28mpg in town, 34mpg highway.

Due to terrible communication and customer service from one particular employee, I never actually made it to Nixon's Garage. I'd heard several positive reviews from friends and family, so I thought it might be a good choice for my timing belt replacement (60,000-mile preventative maintenance). They were priced a little cheaper than the majority of places I called for quotes, and on my first contact with them a guy whose name I believe to be Rick, sounded very confident and friendly and assured me that the job would be completed for a price I felt was reasonable (around $300). Due to his customer service I decided to choose Nixon's over another shop whose price was lower. I scheduled the appointment, and one week later (the day before I was scheduled to bring in my car), I called to confirm the details and talked with another employee whose name I think may have been Steve (I am not completely sure of his name, and now I'm kicking myself for that). It was a completely different experience. Right off the bat, he had mega attitude and told me he didn't see an appointment scheduled under my name. Finally he "found it". I asked if I could pay when I dropped off my car and he sighed loudly, then told me my total was going to be over $500 and that I would be "stupid" not to get the water pump replaced too. He told me the price of the parts and I thought the labor seemed exorbitant so he told me it was due to "taxes". I explained to him about the quote I received a week earlier from Rick, his coworker, and he told me in an extremely rude & condescending tone that he was "100% sure Rick told me that quote was PRETAX". He sounded very agitated and angry with me. By that time, there was NO WAY I was giving them my business so I scheduled elsewhere and cancelled the appointment. I don't know if this second guy I dealt with is an owner or manager at Nixon's but he needs to check himself before he wrecks the favorable image of the business.

I love everything about Nixon's! Is very " female" friendly! They do NOT treat you like you're an idiot just bc you're girl & they have NEVER "fixed" something didn't need fixed just so they could make an extra $!!! They appreciate their customers & are grateful for your business! I wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else!!

Don't bring your car here. They forgot to hook my air intake back up. They told me to buy parts that were unnecessary. They banged up my car. The owner was rude to me, and refused to help. Probably the worst customer service experience I've had anywhere, ever. Many, many small problems.
