Nicko Garage, Miami FL

Several months back I purchased a Kawasaki Ninja 300 from Nicko and must say the bike is in great condition but work was needed. Nicko or Nick originally texted me a picture of the bike after I had stopped by his shop while staying in Miami for work. He told me he had a 300cc Ninja for sale, he priced the Ninja at $2800. He sent me pictures of the bike but only from the side of the bike without a crack in the rightside plastic also further investigating revealed the bike had a rusty chain, low oil and even scratches on the right side of the front fender and bottom plastic with the Kawasaki logo also right side miror. Contrary to what Nick had told me, "The bike needs no work. " As well as deceiving pictures of the bike showing the good side. Initially I bought the Ninja because I wanted a higher cc bike than my 125cc Grom and thought max it was a $200 fix for the Ninja, which was far from the truth. You cannot buy individual plastics for a Ninja anywhere online only the kits which cost $500 which I paid for, the chain on the bike lasted two months before snapping which I replaced for $40 and the oil change had me at another $60. Not to mention, the $80 right side view mirror replacement adding to $680 in repairs. These small tricks used by Nicko are how he sells his cars and bikes in less then great shape. The Ninja I bought expecting to put no money into for at least six months had issues after 3. When I tried to contact Nicko after buying the bike for follow up questions as well as, general information and too see if he could find me plastics he never answered the texts. He just wants your money and wants to put as little work into or the bikes or cars to make them run and make them sell fast with little regards for the customer. Lastly, when I tried to talk him down realizing dammage to the plastic he was rude. Nicko insisted, the bike was in great shape besides the one scratched or cracked plastic without pointing me to other scarches or areas of needed repair also he stated, that the plastics were a cheap fix (Which was a lie). I would advise anyone reading this to not shop with Nicko or get work done with him it is a very shady business with even worse ethics. A bike in "perfect condition costed me $680 in repairs within three months of me leaving he shop!

Best motorcycle shop in Miami or South Florida even! One of the last standing legendary places for a bike to get worked on. On top of it Nick is an amazing mechanic and great person. This place is highly recommended. Lots of history and positive mojo in this shop. A must see!

Very Best Motorcycle Repair Shop in Town! Nicko and his crew do great work on your bikes. Nelson

Nicko helped me fix my car, when the clutch broke down on a roadtrip. He did it as soon as possible even he had to do overtime for that, so I could continue my trip the same day.
Awesome!

This shop is pricey I spent over a 1000 dollars to fix my vehicle here. Niko is friendly but his wife is rude and nasty she doesn’t know how to communicate with individuals and I was confused on who was the mechanic him or his wife? I do not refer this shop to anyone they tell you one thing and then it becomes another problem. I’m still in awe on how she dealt with me when asking her questions about my vehicle after getting fixed I thought niko was the owner not his wife.

I have been sending my vehicles here for the last three years. They do all my vehicle maintenance from oil changes up to installing a crate engine. I highly recommend.

This is a great shop, it has a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Nicko to ally friends, my Harley has never run better. Thanks Nicko.

I do not recommend anyone go there.that has major issues with their vehicle. I let them rebuild the engine on my vehicle and it turned out to be a disaster. The truck was worse than before the rebuild. Gave it back to me with a very obvious manifold leak. They cut the hoses to the heater core off when removing the engine, and instead of replacing them they simply bypassed the heater core (what makes your ac blow hot air) and also helps remove heat from the engine coolant like a mini radiator that's located in the firewall of your vehicle. They used old spark plugs and it turns out that they used a zip tie to hold the butterflies open on one of the banks in my lower manifold because they lost the connecting rod to the intake manifold runner control. If they did all of this to my vehicle alone i cant imagine how many other people have taken their vehicle there for repairs only to have other different problems soon after. My recommendation ask to see the mechanics ASE certification not the owners certification but the mechanic actually working on your vehicle.it should be posted somewhere in the office IF they have one. Goog luck and beware.

Very honest and fair mechanic which is hard to find in Miami. Highly recommend using NICO he is very professional and knowledgeable.

Brought my BMW Airhead for repair.

Nicko's Garage located at 14801 N. Miami Ave, I just bought my 250 2013 Blue Star Yamaha from him for a great price. It was pretty cool of him to let me pay it off as my budget is such. Nicko lets me practice around his garage when I need to practice "like who does that so cool" so I can practice on my star. Nicko's Garage will be the only place I take my bike to get serviced or for repairs of any kind on my bike. I only trust him as he's pretty experienced. Oh and one thing he plays some pretty cool rock songs.

I took my old Yamaha R6 for a much needed valve check to this shop. Nico the mechanic was super cool to talk to and tuned my bike to specs so now the engine sounds super smooth.
I loved the "museum" part of this shop. Nico has a collection of relics, from very old vintage motorcycles, plates, souvenirs, engines converted to shop art, even an old public telephone cabin, and much more. Definitely worth the visit and the job they did to my bike was super!

Such a cool shop. The owner Nicko is very attentive and has a great personality. He works on all kinds of bikes and has an awesome selection of old school bikes in his shop. I took my 2014 Yamaha Bolt to him. He installed new handle bars, exhaust, fuel controller, and intake. He did a great job and its always a pleasure to hangout at his shop since he place great rock music.

Nicko treats me like His family, the technician are friendly easy to understand. I Service my Yamaha Roadstar 1700 cc there all the time and always great service.

I bought my Harley Davidson Nightster here. The guys were awesome showing me around their inventory and making it easy to get all the paperwork done the same day.
I recommend this shop if you are into getting a used bike or having service done on it. I looked around the other bikes they had and the prices were very reasonable compared to the other places i checked in Miami.

Been waiting for an excuse to come here for years! Finally found one and even though I felt heavily emasculated by how simple the fix was, I have no regrets (especially considering that the price was very reasonable)! Very chill and "authentic" atmosphere. Bring your guitar!

They will break your car more so that you would go back to them in few weeks later. Don't take your car their. No good.

Good service in Cars and Motorcycles also best prices in Motorcycles in North Miami. Nicko Always give good service!

Good mechanics, great price, fast service. Motorcycle experts and also for general auto repairs.
