-Nicole T.
Had my 204 BMW M3 leaking coolant. I was able to make an appointment the next day at a convenient time. Took my car in expecting the worst, turned out to be a loose hose clamp. All of the personnel was friendly and polite. Service was quick and very reasonably priced. Will definitely take my car in for anything else I need.
-Hugo Z.
I have been going to Noltes for a least 20 years. Don has a top notch place always honest. Ed goes way beyond helping you out also. He's always very informative on what they did to your car or truck he even took pictures to show me how bad things were. Plus I'm in the market for a used truck and he helped me so much on things i need to keep an eye on. Thank you Noltes your the best.
-Tim D.
Last year I was new to the area and needed a mechanic I could trust--I consider myself lucky to have started here. Consistently great, honest service at a reasonable price.
-Vic E.
Nolte's Auto Repair is great! They have been taking care of my cars for about 10 years and I've never had a problem or been disappointed. They are friendly, helpful, efficient, and they know their stuff. The office is clean and welcoming. I highly recommend them!

Don and crew are always able to make the correct diagnosis and repair. Whenever they work on my vehicles, I know the job is being done properly.
-Jim G.
After having several other "Repair" persons look at my 2002 Ford Windstar, Nolte Auto repair evaluated the NEEDS I had, gave me the price and time to complete at better prices and completion time than any others... and following the repairs being completed, my car runs like NEW and it isn't... Thanks Nolte... you are going to be our New Auto Repair choice from now on and I have already told many of my friends and family about you...
-Nicholas H.
Great customer service! They were honest and told me what was worth fixing and what I could go without fixing, due to my car being 10+ years old. Extremely happy with the repairs and the customer service. Will be taking all future cars here.
-Morgan C.
We are repeat customers - very happy with past services - great shop to do business with!
-Skip A.
Been taking my cars to Don for the past 25 years. We have two vehicles over 14 years old each and both are running great. Nice not to have a car payment. The key here is that I trust Don and he has not only been informative, but also completely honest with me, even to the point of telling me on several occasions not to do a repair yet because it was not necessary. I really appreciate that kind of honesty. They do great work and I would not even consider going anywhere else.
-Rick P.
Great work & they don't recommend services you don't need.
-Diana C.
I took three company cars to Nolte's. All of the vehicles get rough use by the employees driving them. The repairs needed were beyond normal maintenance and all of the work done was exceptional. When I got the vehicles back they all ran and handled like new. This is the only location to trust your vehicles too. This is especially true for business and fleet owners. In addition the cost of the repairs was very reasonable in comparison to estimates received from other shops.
-Stanley C.
This is a top notch auto repair business. If you are tired of going to your local dealer, this is a great alternative.
-John M.
They were professional and on time, great place to have my care repaired
-Christina B.
Honest people and good communication with no pressure - highly recommend
-Timothy B.
Trust and Integrity We have been taking our vehicles to Nolte's for quite some time. It is one less stress in our lives. Thank you for that. We have never been disappointed. Ever.
-Sue and Bill

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
