Precision Auto Repair

Nov 01, 2024

It's been two years since I found Precision Auto. My car could not be in better hands or in better shape. They are courteous and skillful. The communication is great. I find their pricing fair, much better than the dealership I had always used before. They are really top notch mechanics.

I have been taking my cars to John for over 20 years. He is honest, reliable, professional and courteous. I have asked his opinion on every car I have purchased. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants high caliber service

After 10 years of going to the dealership, I decided to branch out and try a highly recommended local auto service shop. I could not be happier with Precision Auto. They are friendly, extremely quick, absolutely reasonable, and they actually knew who I and my car were, as opposed to the dealership Who never had any history of service on my car and who never were able to answer a question or return a call. My main reason for leaving the dealership was that every time I went in they recommended three to 5000 $ in repairs for a car that was worth about 7000. So happy to have found this great local shop that takes such pride in their work.

John is the best mechanic in the world. He helps his community and lifts everyone up. He is also a great mechanic.

Expensive, poor quality parts, after only a year I had to replace brake pads a second time

Experience here was great. John is a really nice guy. EDIT: My car was broken into this past weekend. I had an overall feeling of discomfort after that happened, and John and his team were kind enough to check and make sure there were no other damages made to my car. That was a really astonishing, positive thing that happened after something bad happening, so my original 5 star review remains 5 stars!

My new garage!!!! - I was in a hurry and Jockamo quickly fixed the issue I was having with my coolant cap. Big ups to the team and all the help.

John is honest, kind and helpful at getting your car issues fixed. You never get the sense you're being taken advantage of and he's just a genuinely good person. This place deserves your money.

Bringing my car to Precision Auto Repair was a great decision. Throughout the entire experience, I was informed of the repair process and John helped navigate any questions I had with clarity. If you value transparency, I can’t recommend the team at Precision Auto Repair enough. Five Stars

Friendly, informative, and fast! They replaced my clutch in a day and the cost matched the estimate. Super-easy.

Nov 08, 2023

Highly recommended. Very trustworthy people. They got me in and out very quickly with no bs and at a very good price.

I absolutely love this family shop and business, I trust precision auto, their delivery of service and mechanical expertise. I've been clients of theirs since 2008 and never regretted being loyal to this shop. San Franciscos' finest.

Nov 08, 2023

I totally recommend this Auto Repair! I just went there, bc my tire broke and John did an awesome job, he fixed it very fast and also checked all other features of my car. He was very nice and professional! Thank you!

I'm doing a mechanic search and had to check in on my old mechanic, Precision Auto, to see how things are with them. Realized that I've never left a review -- so here it is: Bluntly put, the family over at Precision Auto Repair runs the best mechanic shop in Northern California. I can confidently say this in my 20 years of car ownership of four different Subarus across multiple towns and cities from SF to the Nevada state line. John, Jr, and Dad serviced two high-mileage cars of mine. There's a Nathan for You episode where the business plan is to put a mechanic on a lie detector when diagnosing car trouble, and I think we've all felt this when working with some mechanics that are out there - I certainly had a mechanic in college who took advantage of me. Precision is different. Precision can expertly translate complicated mechanical issues to the typical car owner in a way that even the most novice car owner can both understand and make their own judgment on where one should prioritize fixing their car. There are those mechanical issues, especially with older or high mileage cars, that can lead to endless money pits to fix. Precision recognizes this and provides honest, transparent guidance to servicing your vehicle without just opting to drain their customers' bank accounts if service doesn't make sense as a vehicle reaches the end of its serviceable life. In a city like SF, where everything comes at a premium price, it's nice to know that there are still businesses like Precision Auto whose mission is to deliver fair service and truly affordable prices. Car ownership comes with unexpected and hidden costs - Precision does their best to give customers the most value for the money paid to fix their car. I've never felt overburdened by car trouble expenses when working with Precision. Even when I couldn't afford work that needed to be done on my car, Precision helped to set expectations on timelines and car usage until more severe mechanical issues would arise when putting off car work which helped me in budgeting and planning for necessary service. When you drive your car into their garage, they make it a point to greet you personally and build trust with you as they diagnose your car. John had a knack for knowing the time of year and what I would be doing with my car during that season. He would diagnose and provide service recommendations based on the usage level I would be putting the car through for the next couple of months, whether it is winter driving or long summer road trips. Precision would work around my schedule and offer secure overnight storage if my job prevented me from same-day dropoff or pickup (while having no problem with quick same-day service if it was an easy enough job). They are great at communicating findings and cost through text. While my car was being worked on throughout the day, I would always know precisely what the issue was, how important it was to fix it, and what the cost was. Working with Precision made me a better car owner in the level of detail they would communicate, along with the driving type impacts on mechanical systems. I've never had more trust in a mechanic to keep my car in its best shape while knowing that they won't overcharge me for a service or where the service doesn't make sense. When my dealer service plan runs out on my new Subaru, I'll make the trip from Oakland to Precision Auto to keep my car running at its best.

Imho, the best bbq in SF.

Initially it took them more than a day to respond to my query email, but then the process of booking my oil change and wiper blade installation was really easy. I brought my Volvo XC40 in at 8am and they said it'll be ready in the afternoon, but at 11am I already got a text saying the vehicle is ready. Pricing is really reasonable and final figure was what was actually quoted. Nice friendly attitude, they even smile, imagine - auto mechanics and they are not miserable. Overall, very pleasant experience, I'll be coming back.

Nov 08, 2023

It was a pleasure to work with John, he communicated clearly about the repairs being done and what it would cost.

Nov 08, 2023

My car hasn’t looked this good since it was new! A few months back my car got stolen and needed some work. I picked Precision Auto Repair because they are certified with my insurance company, the location was convenient to the city, and they offer detailing. They were incredibly easy to work with, and I got updates every step of the way. Excellent customer service. While my insurance covered the balance, the total for the bill was very reasonable. Once all the parts were in my car was finished quickly and it’s sparkling like new. I’ll definitely be back the next time I need a detail or any body work.

Nov 08, 2023

My partner recommended PAR to me. Their services are super quick and John is communicating time and cost estimates.

Nov 22, 2022

Great service! I called from around the corner with something stuck in my tire and they told me to come right on in. In and out in 30 minutes. Super reasonable price. Everyone there was lovely!

Nov 08, 2022

Family owned and operated for generations. I myself have been super pleased for two cars now. And I keep my cars a long time because of the work John's team does. Super honest, high quality, and very reasonable prices have been my experience time and time again. I've recommended Precision Auto to my friends and they've been pleased, too. You just can't find a better business to work with. Six out of five stars!

Nov 08, 2022

John was extremely fast and his communication was great! He got my car battery ordered and replaced in under 24 hours. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Quick & knowledgable.

Nov 08, 2022

I've always been very pleased with the great work from Jon. I trust precision completely with my car care. Jon is very responsive, honest and reliable.

Nov 08, 2022

John and his guys are hands down the best shop you'll ever find. After bringing it in a couple times for smaller things, my car broke down and needed some work that was outta my budget at the time. John still let me take my car and come back to pay him when I got paid. Couldn't believe his generosity. Customer for life. Theyre always super fair and will never overcharge you.
