We love bringing our cars to Precise Auto Repair! Tom and Viet are the best mechanics we have ever had: they are honest, do a great job, and extremely reasonable with pricing. We will never take our cars anywhere else. We plan on keeping our cars for a very long time: and Precise Auto is part of our plan! read more

I found this place via Yelp search. They indeed provide great, expert service at very reasonable price. The two times I needed some major service, I brought my car to other places and they gave me much, much higher estimates, with lots more work to be done than my car really needed. Tom & his crew explained to me what they need to do and a fair cost upfront. And the final cost was never higher than the original estimate. The 2nd service was my sunroof. Other places told me they need at least a week. Tom fixed it in one day. With a family of three kids on different weekday schedule and both parents working, this was awesome. I recommend this place to anyone, they will help you with their expert, honest opinion at fair costs. read more

Beware! all bad reviews about Precise Auto Repair was deleted!!! This is my third time to post my review because my previous one were all deleted: Due to car battery corrosion, the positive battery connection cable head was broken, and Tom/Viet told me that it will cost only $20 to repair it. However after 5~10 minutes he finished the work, but charged me for $50 ($30 labor fee). In addition, he fixed it using the non-copper (Aluminum or Iron) cable head instead of copper connection head, which my car dealer told me it will cause high resistance for the current. In summary, not honest & non professional, better to avoid this autoshop! read more

Did a smog check. No fuss, no hassle, staff was friendly. was pretty cheap too, in and out in 20 minutes!

I saw the positive yelp reviews and decided to go here - plus it is within 5 minutes from where I am. I also called in beforehand to check on cost and time. I didn't know where to park, but walked in and someone was able to assist me. I needed an oil change and a smog. I initially mentioned the oil change only. My car was finished within 30 minutes. Then, I remembered I needed a smog so I asked. I felt bad not mentioning it in the first place, but he took my car back in within no complaints. Thank you, Son. It's just my first visit here and first impressions are big. Service was great, prompt and efficient. Awesome. read more

Came over with engine light on. Owner check the car, and told me that nothing urgent and I'll be fine. So different from most of the shops where the first thing you will hear how broken your car is and needs to be fixed asap read more

The reviews are spot on folks. Viet and Tom put the customer first. They're success comes from the quality, value, and transparency of their work. They've helped me out so many times and I find myself routinely recommending any friends and family who ask me where they should take their cars. Thanks guys! read more

Tom is the man. I have been going to Tom for years...even when he used to work for another shop a few blocks away. My family always takes their cars to him, I always recommend him, and I always come back. Tom is easy to talk to and easy to work with. Trust is paramount for me...it is rare for me to be so trusting around mechanics and this is the primary reason I come back to Tom. When he gives me an estimate, he is transparent about it and always right in line. He always keeps the replaced parts for that day and offers to show me to justify the work. I highly recommend him. read more

I was originally concerned with the number of 5-stars from users with very few reviews. (Maybe all like myself -- don't care to review restaurants, so that only leaves car stuff every 1-2 years?) But Precise Auto Repair turned out to be great, and I will likely come back. I had a straightforward, honest experience for my Hyundai Genesis Coupe 60K service. Price was quite reasonable: similar to non-dealership competitors, and 2-3x cheaper than dealership. And they told me exactly what was covered, what was not, what I should get done, what I shouldn't bother with (both for now, and for the lifetime of the car). They also found an obvious oil leak that was likely there for months/years, as evidenced by the amount of dusty oil on nearby surfaces, that the dealership hadn't caught when I had my last 2-3 oil changes there. Since the leak should be covered by powertrain warranty, the techs here recommended doing the leak repair at the dealership for free. Precise Auto Repair is first come first serve, so morning walk-ins are recommended. They were kind enough to squeeze me in at 11.30 ('kinda late'), and the work was done at 4.30. I even came back the next afternoon to get (unrelated) TPMS and engine light diagnostic reads, which they did immediately and for free. Now, this *is* a nondescript hole-in-the-wall, and the techs handle everything including paperwork and front desk. You may have to grab their attention if they are busy working on cars. There may not be shuttle service (didn't ask), or Wifi (didn't check), and there is no waiting area besides an old 2-seater couch. But at least none of those extra 'features' will sneak onto my bill. read more

1st time for us...read the reviews and thought we couldn't go wrong. Tom did some general maintenance and Jim said the van is driving great. Fair price, great service. Tom said I look 50 (66) so we will be friends for life. Heck with the van, I'm going back just for the compliments! Great job Tom, plus....we had a lot of good laughs! We'll be back. read more

It's a very good place to go with your car. I had two leaks, one in the power steering oil pump and another one at the steering. He recommended the best and cost effective solution, also by counter checking by calling the vendor of after market parts. Tom is very experienced and tries to find the best technical solution for you. Very competent and smart. Very good experience. I will go there again if I have another technical Problem. He has also recommended to exchange an additional small part since he knows from his experience that this part at a Honda Odysee fails normally after a while. He is a very proactive guy. Great experience, definitely the right place to go with your car. read more

Great service! After the recycling center coming from Lafayette street. Come at 8:00am for oil changes, they got me out within 30 minutes.

My husband and I have been taking our vehicles to Precise a long time and it never occurred to me until now to leave a review. We actually drive from Blossom valley just to get maintenance done here. I've even told the smog check guy who offered an oil change that I have a mechanic I go to. It's a chore to find decent and honest people to work on your car or house for a reasonable price these days, so we really appreciate these guys. read more

In the end things worked out great. Car still running good and light still off. Id go back for sure. Small place so didn't have to wait much! read more

Had a problem, but they fixed it. A true and honest company that cares a lot about their customer concerns as well as doing their best at fixing anything that needs to be done with your car. read more

Went to have them check the condition of my brake pads and rotors. The mechanic was informative helpful and friendly. He checked them in less than 5 minutes and gave me advice on when to have them changed. Trustworthy and intelligent. read more

I like how tom and guys run the business here. dropped my car off for some struts and got it back mid afternoon as promised. price is decent and happy w the customer service and attention to detail, such as putting the car seat back after they were done. good job guys, happy customer and def coming back read more

This place is better than I can even explain! The mechanics here are so helpful and so reasonable! My engine block went which is covered under warranty and they diagnosed my problem so quick and told me exactly what i needed to do to get it fixed under warranty! Thank you soo much guys this is by far the best mechanic! read more

Tom and his crew do a good job on all three of my vehicles, he lets me bring in my own synthetic oil for oil changes and some minor parts that I purchase on line on amazon like ceramic brake shoes and such. Good price (A lot less than going to the dealer and a lot less hassle) open on Saturday and a quick turnaround on minor maintenance. What I also like it that they are honest and never try to up sell me things I don't really need. read more

I have finally found a place that I can trust. I first came here about a year ago for a smog check and an oil change. I was so impressed with their service that I have been coming back. I recently had a problem with my air conditioner and they fixed the problem right away. I came home and a week later my air conditioner went out again. I then brought my car back and they found out that my fan was broken and fixed it for me at no charge. This place is family owned and they treat me like family when I'm there. Great service!! read more

Tom was really nice, I felt confident about his advice, and also about the car repairs.

Discovered Precise Auto Repair on Yelp and figured I would give them a try. It turned out great! Quick service and good prices. Had an automatic transmission drain and fill done while I waited. Tom is a straight shooter and will tell it like it is. He answered all my questions about engine/transmission/flushes without skipping a beat. Thanks, Tom! read more

This place gets you in and out in no time at an affordable price, simple as that!

Tom has been taking care all my cars for years now, regular services or repair jobs. Always reliable and honest, thanks for the great services. read more

This place is Diamond. Fixed my car in less than 20 mins and less than any quoted price. I wasted an hour in another shop and they said they need new parts. I saved $$$$. Check them out before heading to dealership. read more

These guys are the type of guys you want working on your car. They are honest with their prices and if it's a quick 2 minute fix they do it for free. They have cheap prices for great work. This is my go to car place. read more

While I usually don't go overboard in praising a business, I might end up doing just that for Tom and his team here. I have had my fingers burnt with other repair shops (Shiv Auto Repair in Sunnyvale), but I have been to Precise Auto Repair about 3 times and each time my experience has been utmost hassle-free, tension-free, reasonable and perfect! Once it was all the belts in my Kia Rio that needed replacing and the other time it was various sensors that had gone bad. I can trust Tom with car of any make and with any job of any complexity. I can be assured that it will be done with care, at the most reasonable price and with supreme workmanship. I am trying to do just my part in spreading the word around. Honest, ethical and genuine repair shops like this one should become VERY successful to set an example! read more

Honest, reliable, and fair. I always go here when I got a problem with my car or just maintenance. Tom is the best. Straight forward no b.s. These guys really know their stuff. read more

Repaired my AC here. The job is finished fast and the price is fair.

Dropped my car off with no appointment late in the morning, asking for a brake job front and rear. Later on, they called me and told me my front pads had some life left -- I didn't need to replace them yet. I picked up my car at the end of the day, no problem. Work was done well, and price was good -- way cheaper than dealership. read more

My wife's 1996, Z28 Camaro was making a loud, irregular, metallic, rattling, sound upon startup last week. This awful sound was coming from beneath the engine. Had to quickly turn off the ignition for fear of more damage. Spoke to Viet in the morning, and had it towed using a flatbed truck to Precise Auto Repair. Since my wife and I really like this car, we were hoping that it was not a broken rod; engine problem because that is what it sounded like. Viet called me in the afternoon, and said he had some good news. The problem was that the starter motor's gear housing (next to the front roll drive) was cracked, and a piece of this metallic housing was loose, and hitting the flywheel gears as it rotated (yikes) during startup. Good news was that nothing was wrong with the motor! We felt like we dodged a bullet on that one! Viet replaced the starter with a brand new, Delco, starter which was slightly more expensive than a rebuilt one, but was worth it to me. Thank you, Viet. You are a keeper. Our experience prompted me to write this positive review. This was on Valentine's day, so my wife was very happy. Thanks. read more

Great customer service and prompt repairs. We have had two of our family cars worked on here and they beat their expected completion time each time. They were also very proactive with showing me the worn parts. I highly recommend a Precise Auto Repair! read more

I recently moved to the area from out of state and needed an oil change for my car, I initially went to a Chevy dealership since my car is pretty new, however, I had the worst service there and they charged me $100 just to come in, so a friend recommended Precise Auto Care. I went there today and got everything I needed done, and for a very reasonable price!! Tom was the person who took care of me and was very honest and friendly and let me know costs of everything ahead of time. I didn't even need an appointment, I called and asked when they had an opening and they told me to come on in! I will be going to this place from now on for all my servicing, this place is great! read more

I took my car in for an oil change and I was in and out pretty fast. I actually expected to pay more. I was surprised. These guys are fair, competent and most important to me is Honest. I didn't go in for an oil change and come out with a fat bill stating I needed new tires, engine rebuilt, paint job, first born and a pint of blood. I appreciate HONEST Mechanics and these guys are it. I won't go anywhere else to have any of my cars serviced. I point all my family, friends, co-workers here. nuff said read more

This place is awesome. We always have a great experience here. They are fast and efficient on helping us get our cars back up and running. They are always helpful and provide us with all of our options so we can make an informed decision. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. read more

Honest, trustworthy and reliable mechanics! Reasonable rates. Not out to nickle and dime you for things you don't need. Outstanding customer service every time!!! Highly recommend!!! Can't say enough great things about Precise Auto Repair and Tom and Viet. Would not trust my car with anyone else! Best kept secret. read more

I'm not a regular customer, but anytime I get a job done by a mechanic on time and under budget I'm impressed. I had to get the cracked air intake on my 2005 Honda Accord replaced to pass smog. They agreed to obtain the part and install it for less than I expected to pay, then charged me a little less than their original estimate. read more

This place was outstanding! Knowledgeable, friendly, reasonable pricing, and quick turnaround. I'd highly recommend this place!

Good if you are a new customer, otherwise they start you to charge you everything. At first this palce was excellent, they helped out to fix many things and whatnot. I had my EGR replaced last year in Fall (a common problem for my SUV at 86k miles). Then, my check engine light came on this year July. They checked it for free and said that it was my EGR again. I let them clear it since I thought it was just a wrong trigger since it was very hot that day. The light came back on over 5 weeks later again. I wanted to make sure that it is the EGR again, and, in case, replace it. This time they wanted to charge for the check ("beacuse I cleared it for you so many times".) No thanks. I give them 2 stars because one day they fixed my car in the morning and saved my trip to Tahoe and were usually very friendly and helpful. I do not know what happened to them. read more

not very happy about their service. The guy on the phone quoted me 500, and promise me to switch my signal light, and $25 discount. when I pick up my car, light wasn't fixed read more
