Precision Auto Care

If you are looking for a reasonable and very honest shop this is it. A friend of mine recommended this shop to me after I got ripped off at a couple of other places. The owner Jim has worked on several of our cars and even saved me from having to buy another car when the Dodge dealership told me that our car was not fixable, he worked on it got another two years out of it. He has a very busy shop and you can trust that he is never going to do anything to the car that isn’t necessary because he isn’t «hungry». He takes the time to explain everything that he’s going to do on the car and afterwards what they found and what work they completed. If I could give this place 10 stars I would.

I gotta say this place really rocks.
I had been having some trouble with my vehicle (an older vw jetta model) where it wouldn’t go into reverse. I wasn’t sure why but I knew I needed a good mechanic to help me out. I’m new to the area so I searched places with good reviews and Precision Auto Care was top of the list. I can see why now, because when I went in they were very personable and helpful. I originally thought I was gonna be there for a couple hours so I gave myself a window of time.
Low and behold tho about 30 minutes later one of the mechanics had found an oil cap that I had lost a couple months ago in the linkage which is what stopped it from going in reverse. Who would have thought! And at the end of it all I was only charged 20 bucks!
I’ll definently be back

The owner Sucks really rude and gave me incorrect information. He literally made me pay for more then I had to

I would think this be a good spot because of the reviews. But the front desk lady was super rude she hung up twice the second time I asked why she hung up she was just rude about it. I believe her name is christen.

They fixed my car pretty fast and it runs great! Great customer service!!! I just think they should remodel there lobby/​waiting area to make it more comfortable but besides that it’s a great place :)

Precision Auto Care is amazing. I talked to several mechanics who couldn’t figure out an electrical problem with my car and wanted to charge me a lot of money for an evaluation. As soon as I brought it to Precision Auto Care, they figured out the problem in less than 10 min, and were also able to fix another problem I had based on the mechanic’s superb knowledge and experience. They were kind enough not to charge me because it was easy for them to fix the issue. These guys are truly experts and know how to treat their customers well.

We have several vehicles and are so lucky to have a business like Precision Auto to take care of them. They have been great to work with: reasonable prices, good communication — Kristin is always calling us with updates, fast service, Jim is super knowledgeable I think he can fix anything — we have Chevy’s, Honda, Jeep, Toyota. All the mechanics are friendly and helpful. too.

It was kinda unbelievable the level of professionalism that I encountered at this place. Great people, great service and great prices all in 1 visit. I received multiple quotes to have a repair done on my car. Not only did he beat everyone, he did over and beyond my expectations. I wanted to treat him to lunch. Everyone was great and I will recommend this place to everyone I know. Thanks Precision

Superior customer service. High quality automotive repair work. And very accommodating and flexible staff. My trusty commuter broke down around the corner from Precision, which is out of town for me. Instead of towing the vehicle all the way back to my home town, I elected to take it to Precision on advice of both the towing company and another business’ recommendation (ironically another local mechanic, though he specialized in British vehicles). Precision allowed me to actually borrow one of their cars for a quick run to take my client somewhere as he got stuck with me when we broke down. And although the repair to my car took a while (full valve job done in about 8 business days), and the final tab wasn’t cheap, it was all necessary, unfortunately, and it was clear they hustled to get mine done as quickly as possible. Overall, having the customer service as strong and accommodating as it was helped ease the pain of both the price and the wait. And Jimmy has also offered a return check up service for free, which is a rare benefit in the industry. The high ratings for this business on here are warranted. Honest, quality, reliable, great customer service and staff. Your car’s in good hands here.

Love this place! Jimmy and Christian treat us like family. They take great care of us and our cars. Trustworthy, reasonable, and always courteous. A real find!

Definitely trust Jimmy and his crew. Was referred by a couple different friends and I’m glad I was. It’s important to find an honest mechanic. They’ve worked on 4 different cars of mine and they continue to provide fast, quality work. They even helped me sell my car to another client of theirs. Christine is on top of it as well.

The best there is in Auto Repair!
I have been going to Jimmy for years and my husband has gone for years and years, so this recommendation comes from LOTS of experience with their service. We have always been treated fairly and with great care, and our vehicles have been expertly repaired and serviced. We recommend Precision Auto Care for their honesty, fair pricing and quality workmanship. I have seen them go above and beyond for every customer that comes their way, and in this day and age, they are a gem. A rare find. A priceless treasure, and I mean that sincerely. Give them a try and you too, will become a loyal customer.
By the way, our vehicles have 150K, 580K and 600K, all with their original engines, and along with good gas, Jimmy and his staff are our secret weapon!

I’ve been here a few times and like that they are not only «straight shooters» about what is going on with my vehicles, but they diagnose them right the first time and their estimates are close (No hidden surprises)! They are great about their scheduling and have never been held up waiting for them to finish my car. Any automotive repair place is pricey, but I always feel that they are fair with their rates. I would highly recommend them!

Just the best shop in the east bay! Jimmy and the crew are the best! I’m so happy with his service and prices I drop of donuts to the gang! Can’t go wrong here! G.

I have been going here for a few years and really trust jimmy with my car. He is always busy but will make time for your car and fit you in to his busy schedule. I always feel like he has my best interest in mind and that he does not overcharge me.
When I needed a car he hooked me up with a reliable source and put me in touch with someone to sell me their car. He did all of the work on my car w the previous owner and in my humble opinion just does good business. I feel he is very trustworthy and would refer to anyone to him!
There have been times where I dropped my car off to him for work to be done and he gave me a ride back to my job.
If you ever deal with him and feel like you are being rushed off the phone, trust they are very busy and do not let that sway your decision on going there. This guy is in high demand and getting the job done!

Corvette Club members recommend this shop last year. Have had three repairs for my 2001 C5 convertible. Each was job fairly priced and work well done and through. They took the time to show the stuff that was replaced and explained in detail what was done.
This is a neat place just to walk around in. Apparently many locals bring their custom stuff here. Always seems to have some Vettes, Stangs, & other really cool rides in the shop. Although their specialty is Vette’s and Mustangs (ugh).the do work on other vehicles too. There location is very convenient. The Unilocal (and others) reviews are mostly excellent.
Now lets see what they can do with my old battered Ford F150 with 139,000 miles!

Though the bill was a tough one to swallow, especially after Xmas but that said, my car needed some TLC after driving around two different states and much city driving while ignoring my vehicle’s regular service.
The customer service woman was really great (sorry, I didn’t catch any names). The person who closed me out, I’m assuming was the owner or head mechanic, was very thorough on the work that was done, threw in some wipers because he saw that I needed some.
They called me after checking my car and the numerous pesky issues, which not all shops do! They went over prices before doing any work and confirmed that they could get me car to me that day. They threw in wipers which was badly needed and I appreciated it!
I have found my new service center for my car, and I’m thrilled that I didn’t have to kiss a lot of frogs before finding this place. First timer who plans on going back for regular maintenance!

Jimmy and his beautiful assistant are always helpful. They take care of my wife’s Prius and do an excellent job of recommending service’s to keep it on the road. Jimmy’s prices seem better than fair.
Service’s are done promptly.
Communication is excellent.
He also puts in oem or better parts which increased our gas miles.
You can trust his work!!!

They are very fast and efficient here, however at the end of the day, they did not properly diagnose and resolve my automotive issue. Rather than taking my car in for a third time, I elected to go to S&K (down the street on E 14^th). Additionally, my family had been taking their automobiles to Precision for years, but the courtesy «discount» I was to receive as a result of that was no less than any other repair place. Not very pleased with my experience for an otherwise well reviewed establishment.

Jimmy is truly an outstanding customer oriented businessman. When my car broke down, I took it to Jimmy and he evaluated the situation for free. It turned out my car was toast. Jimmy presented all the options in terms of junkyards, private sales, and so on. I decided to sell the car, and Jimmy even helped me with the DMV title transfer. I had my car in Jimmy’s lot for a week, got a free diagnosis, recommendations on tow trucks and junk yards, guidance on selling my car on craigslist, and help with transferring the title. All for free. Outstanding service. I will be going back when I need service on my new car.
