Nickerson Sales Services & Towing

Within 10 miles of my spark plugs getting replaced and a new ignition coil, the car starts running rough. It turns out, they over-tightened everything and stripped a bolt, making the coil wobble around on cylinder one. So now it is at a different mechanic's; no way I'm going back to Nickerson's. Hopefully the repair won't be expensive. Do not trust this place. They also towed my friend's truck after it broke down ( just because it was parked on county land while he ran to get parts); that cost him $1200. Just take a look at the office; it's obvious they don't take pride in anything. That should have been a red flag.

Broke down near Lookout Pass summit. Owner (Jerry) had great mechanic on staff at his place in Smelterville. Chad the mechanic and Chad the owners son had me on the road again in 2 hours. Great service, reasonable price. Great guys, all of them.

Jerry Nickerson went above and beyond. My family and I were camping this weekend, or at least were trying to camp. The springs on my trailer broke in route to our camping spot on friday night late. We literally stayed in our trailer that night just off the highway. That morning I called Nickersson Towing (after being recommended by friends that live in the area and others as well), I sent Jerry pics of what was broken on the travel trailer, he immediately knew what it was and there was no way to tow our 30 foot trailer. However he went out of his way to come several miles to my trailer and take the springs apart, drove into Post Falls, ID to get the new spring, then brought it back and installed it that night. It was an all day event for him and I can't say how much I was not only surprised but very humbled to see that there are still people who go above and beyond for others. He could have easily said he couldn't do it until monday or not even attempted to help at all and went on to the next job. I never do reviews online, but I wasn't sure how else to express my gratitude for myself and my family not having to sleep by a highway for the 2nd night in a row. Nickerson Towing and Jerry Nickerson in particular is not only getting 5 stars, definitely the best service I've seen from any business/person in my lifetime.

Amazing service from a great guy!!!! Beyond the call of duty, on a snowy Christmas Eve morning, after several days of working with barely any sleep, Jerry Nickerson towed our vehicle from where our engine died @ a mile from the summit of Lookout Pass in Idaho. We'd been heading to Montana to visit our grand-kids for Christmas. He towed the car all the way back to his lot in Smelterville,(over 20 miles) and then, when we couldn't find any other transportation to Coeur d'Alene (35 miles east) to rent a car before they closed at 3PM, he personally and graciously drove us all the way there, to the car rental office. He was our family's Christmas miracle! And this was when his own home was still without power after the storm of the preceding night. This is one wonderful human being- the kind of person you like to believe exists, but you often don't get to meet. “Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus!”
