“6 stars. Mike did a pre purchase inspection of a car for us, and was INCREDIBLY thorough. Being a race car mechanic, he knows what he’s doing. He went point by point with us under and inside the car. Definitely will be back if we need to buy another car in the area.”

“A++ What can I say? I took my basic 2017 Audi A3 to get a diagnosis for a coolant leak which Mike was able to quickly diagnose as a water pump failure. Not only did he fix my problem, he was able to provide maintenance (Transmission, Haldex AWD system) that was long overdue. While inspecting my car, he found that my brakes were very close to being worn out and replaced the rotors and brake pads. I figured I might as well upgrade my performance and he was able to provide an APR Stage 1 tune to my car without any issue. I practically had my car returned to me in better condition than when I bought it. His attention to detail is something I’ve never experienced before at a mechanic shop. An example of that is using an external power supply during my ECU tune so that the voltage fluctuations wouldn’t fry the car’s computer! As an amateur car person, I asked a lot of questions about the value of certain parts/services and he was able to answer everything without trying to sell me anything. Probably owed to the fact that he has a long history of working with race vehicles. What I thought would take a week or two to fix, he managed to complete a diagnosis, repair, maintenance and tune in 3 days. The cherry on top is that the price for labor was highly competitive (bye Audi dealership) and the transparency was a breath of fresh air. If you’re driving German, Nordküste is a no brainer.”

“Excellent service, communication, and performance at the hands of the experts at Nordkuste. All of those things at a competitive price is traditionally hard to find, but at Nordkuste, Mike does his absolute best to educate you on fulfillment times, install times, and applicable labor charges. He take’s the “I have to open it to see it” out of the industry, while performing super professional upgrades/services to your vehicle. The service I received from Nordkuste blows the service provided by many BMW dealers, out of the water. Mike does an exceptional job getting you in and out; while providing cutting edge service for every automobile need. Highly recommend bringing your daily, vintage, and/or weekend car in for work by the professionals at Nordkuste as you won’t find another shop that pays as much care and attention to detail as Nordkuste does.”

“Mike is the best in the business, skip the hassle and come to Nordkuste Performance. Mike has diagnosed and solved what 2 other shops could not detect on my 2020 BMW M2C. Highly recommended him for all things performance.

-Andy Blitz

“This is the best place to take your car around Cleveland. I have a lowered 350z that everyplace around was too scared to work on or didn’t have the proper equipment . I am new to the area, and I looked all over trying to get an alignment after I repaired my suspension. Nordkuste performance got my car right and is exactly what I needed. I would recommend taking any sports car, project build , or standard repair to Mike. He is very knowledgeable and professional.”

-Caleb Kellogg

“Excellent 5-star service by Mike and the Nordkuste Performance team on my 2007 BMW Z4 convertible roadster. Needed a starter replaced along with a service plan for a couple of other maintenance items. I towed the car to my long time and original dealership but received an outrageous repair quote. The car would not start so I believe the quote/service was marked-up as a result knowing I was in a tough spot. I then reached out to several reputable BMW and European service garages and dealerships in my area for additional estimates. Nordkuste Performance was highly competitive in comparison on pricing and value for the needed service(s) and significantly less than the original dealership quote. I had the car towed to Nordkuske Performance from the dealership for them to do the work. Mike was outstanding...took the time to talk with me, answer questions, and be honest about what work needed done and what work we did not need to do or could put on a maintenance timeline (more urgent to less urgent). Most appreciated. I've found my new service garage! Thanks to Mike and his team for the great service and fair pricing. I'll be back for my future automotive service needs.”

-Michael T.

“Mike is a very polite and pleasant guy. Like his personality. First time here; he is currently working on my car. Came in yesterday for an estimate on my exhaust system and got scheduled the following day. He explains everything that's going on. Waiting room was comfortable and clean. I may have finally found a great mechanic. 😊 I got my exhaust and tires balanced What a quieter and smooth ride now. What a difference. He knows his stuff.”

-Lisa H.

"Mike at Nordküste Performance goes above and beyond expectations. He is good dude and is very reasonable on pricing. Always willing to go that extra mile for his customers. Do NOT hesitate to bring your car here! I've had 3 different vehicles in the shop, always A1 work!"

-Sam D., Akron
 

"I'm so glad I found Mike at Nordkuste Performance! He takes great care of my BMW and is extremely patient with the million questions I always have for him. At other shops I usually never felt comfortable enough to ask too many questions and typically left not fully understanding the repairs performed or needed. This couldn't be farther from the case with Mike. He provides excellent communication via phone or email and always follows up with any additional information I request or need. I will continue to take my vehicle to Nordkuste Performance for any future maintenance or repairs!"

-Jerilynn B., Cleveland
 

"Mike is very detail oriented and shared all the information regarding the repairs through the process. We can't recommend him enough!"

-Melanie T., Northfield

"Mike was great!! He communicated with us through the whole process of our new to us vanagon being in his shop. When we picked it up and walked us through everything he did, showed us the bad parts he took out of the van, and shared with us what it now means to be van owners (and what to look for to keep the van in shape)! Thank you for setting us up for success in our new adventure!"

-Taylor R., Cleveland
 

"Nordkuste is a terrific shop, and my recent experience having my '88 Vanagon serviced there was flawless. I really appreciated the shop tour that Mike Pottle, the owner, gave me and how he walked me through the work he was doing on my Vanagon along the way. I was really surprised at how reasonably priced the service was! Mike's labor rate is very reasonable - A lot of places would have just gouged me for how long the work *could* have reasonably taken them and not how long they *actually* spent on the work. That Mike charged me only for the time the work took really left me with a great deal of trust in his integrity and business model, and the quality of the work he did in his clear skill as a master mechanic.  I especially appreciated Mike's following up with me after my road trip. Nordkuste is my go-to shop in Ohio!"

-Michael M., Bowie MD

"Lucky to have found Mike - he is knowledgeable, genuine and trustworthy. He is always very transparent with what is going on with my Volkswagen, includes pictures and detailed descriptions through email when I can't be there in person. He is great with performance enhancement and has done amazing work on classic VW sports cars."
