This is a great shop. Jimmy and staff are a great team. You'll be well taken care of at extremely reasonable prices. I live in Oakland but avoid Auto Row like the plague. It is completely worth the drive to have my car serviced here. read more

Wow! Yelp works!!!! Had an emergency with my 2000 Grand Marquis - stopped and had to be towed! Suspected it was the fuel pump (I'm no mechanic, but I was right!) - was going to take it elsewhere but came to Yelp - saw Precision Auto Care and the mostly positive reviews - they deserve every single one! Diagnosed it, gave me a quote - car was ready the following day and the price was LESS than the quote! I also LOVE the way the mechanic actually brought out the old parts to show me what they replaced. Suffice to say ... They have a new customer! and I'll be recommending my friends too! Oh yeah ..and Kristen? She's a hoot! and a Sweetheart! Precision's one of the good ones! read more

Great work and very honest at fair price. read more

Excellent service delivered on schedule. Mechanic shop of high quality and dependability. It comes highly recommended. I had my brakes, rotors and motor Mount repaired here previously and they have done an excellent job. Today I had my car towed to them & replaced my starter and they completed the work in under three hours. Overall, excellent service. read more

I took my 93 Camaro z28 here and they got back to me within the same day. My car showed that it was overheating and I was kind of freaked out because the car wasn't smoking so I took it in and they said that they tightened something in the car and it was fine. Then I drove away and the temperature gauge went back up so I came back the guy said it's just your gauges and I should bring it back in a couple weeks to fix it. Since then my car has been fine. read more

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 read more

Brought another vehicle in for service. Fast, friendly, honest, reliable service. Shout out to the team at Precision. Thank you.

From the lady that answers the phone to picking up my truck, I was met with really good customer service. One shop wanted to charge almost $500 for ac work and I took it to Precision, they explained everything, were honest and great pricing. Come to find out, my truck only needed to be recharged. I recommend me you guys and am thankful for being open and honest. Now I can really enjoy summers and fishing in my old truck read more

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! read more

I have been going to Precision Auto Care for over 15 years!! I have brought all my Mercedes Benz to Precision Auto Care and he works on my cars!! The owner Jimmy is very professional!! The mechanics are superb and high quality mechanics!! Jimmy stands behind his work and backs up all his work!! If you have any problems with your vehicle bring it to Precision Auto Care!! read more

Jim has been an awesome, honest, & trustworthy mechanic in my family for years!! My parents have used his auto shop since I was a kid and now my husband and I do! We continue to come here and are satisfied for all his help! Thank you Jim & Precision auto care!!! read more

I love these guys! Not only do they do good work but in times of crisis they are so accomidating. Last Friday 6/25/2021 I was on my way to a funeral service and my jeep was making a strange noise so I went straight to precision. Told them I would be at a funeral all day so taking a call would be difficult. Jimmy the owner took care of me and he checked my car and called before I even got to the service. It was a tire issue and needed to go to a tire place. Jimmy was awsome and offered to take my jeep to Big O tires where I go for oil changes and tires. He took it there and it was taken care of. Whenever my check engine light comes on they check it quick for me and yet to charge me when its a simple issue. read more

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. read more

I had my car towed here because my starter died on me. Had to make it to work on a Monday morning so I called in and they helped me take care of getting my repairs done without having to physically go in which was very helpful. Late morning, they gave me an overview of the repairs and recommended I needed brakes as well. After a reasonable quote and guarantee of same day service completion, I decided to do all recommended repairs. I even got a first time visit deal. I was very pleased with the service and support from the shop owner. I would recommend this shop to others and will be back for any other future repair needs. read more

Great place! They tell you when some work need not happen right away. They shop for best-priced parts, if you can wait for those. Their time estimate to get the work done is accurate. read more

One million stars! My Jeep was savaged by crackheads at the Bay Fair BART station (holes drilled in gas tank to steal the gas, battery stolen, lock drilled on my lockbox, etc). I called Precision Auto in a panic around 5:30pm on a weekday, looking for somewhere to tow it after making a police report, as their shop is right down the street from my house. Jimmy said he'd stay open late to receive my poor Jeep! He did so, and was super nice when I was having a pretty darned bad day so far. He worked with my insurance adjustor to get everything settled, did the work, and even gave me a free oil change while my Jeep was in there! (He noticed my oil change sticker in the window and saw I was just about due.) He even sent one of his guys to put some gas in my tank before giving my vehicle back to me. He was in communication with me regularly, explained everything to me kindly and clearly without being condescending (can't take that for granted, I've had some dude mechanics talk down to me because I'm a chick), and everyone at his shop was SO nice. Cannot recommend this business enough. My husband is going to take his Toyota 4Runner here, and I won't take my Jeep anywhere else. read more

Very honest, very fair and great prices. I gave them a description of what was going on and what I thought the issue was, they gave me a quote quickly and didn't try to up charge for any unnecessary repairs. Will definitely come back. read more

Best,Honest repair shop in the bay area!!! Jimmy and his shop treat EVERYONE like family and always get the job done the 1st time.We came here for new belts 5 years ago on wife's 2006 highlander and haven't been anywhere since. Thank you for all you do!!!!! read more

I brought my car here after my mom's co worker said she's been going here for years. My regular mechanic is in Newark so I wanted to find a place closer. My steering wheel was almost impossible to turn while driving, so I first called to explain to them what was going on. Once me and my mother met up and were waiting for AAA, we just called to let them know it was on the way. Her voice was with an attitude as if annoyed that we were calling to give them the heads up. I had it on speaker so it that took my mom and I by surprise. Later, my check engine light comes on, so I took it to auto zone to get a read. Said it for the steering wheel pressure sensor. Huh?!?! I just paid $300 to get my steering wheel fixed. I called to see what was going on, and he said he never touched it, only fixed the pump and the belt. Why was this not noticed when I brought it in? And the first thing you say is I never touched it? Not, bring it in let me take a look. You fix my steering wheel, my check engine light comes on for the same thing and now you have no clue!?!?! Yea, no thanks. That's bad business, and based off his response he wasn't going to fix it for free even though he just did work on it. read more

I am newly in love with precision auto care. I called this morning, president's day, new customers, just arrived in the neighborhood. I needed help with the 2008 Subaru Outback I had given my teenage son, which was making a horrible noise. Precision #1, said to come in right away although they were busy, and #2, fixed the problem by the afternoon. If we had kept driving with this problem it would have been more damaging to the car and dangerous to drive. In addition, the oil was low-ish, belts needed to be replaced, filters, etc. They got it all at a very reasonable price. Best of all, when my dopey kid picked up the car, the mechanics took the time to show him how to check the oil. What a lovely bunch. I'm definitely going back. read more

Great place! The ever dreadful Check Engine light came on Wednesday afternoon and I was heading out of town that weekend. Not sure what to do so I found PAC and called them. Spoke w/ Jimmy who said come down and I'll get the code and we'll go from there. It was almost closing time and he said he'll stay there till I get there, 15mins away. Jumped in the car and headed over. Read it and didn't charge me and order the part to come back when I got back. Super friendly, quick and honest. Have since taken the Durango back again for other work. As long as the Durango is the Bay it will be serviced by Jimmy and team! He even took it over to a place to get it smogged for me! Thanks Jimmy! Go see him and Christian! read more

i will definitely vote for zero star, not even worth for 1 star. We noticed this since our company van is broken down today. We took it to a check and was told the engine oil was very old which had not been replaced. The old engine oil leads the belt to be broken. In fact, we paid $122.85 +labor for quantity of 3 engine oil to Precision Auto Care at 2/1/19 to do the replacement. Regardless of the store charged 3 buckets of engine, the van will only need 2 at most. Most importantly, our invoice showed we did the engine oil replacement. Apparently, they did not replace. If they did, it is not acceptable that $200 of engine oil will only last for 4 months. The service they charged is way higher than other stores which are not reasonable. read more

This review is over due...the experience is from when my fiancé took her 1999 Honda Civic to this shop when she was having some issues with the car randomly "stalling out/shutting off" while driving. They were up front and said that if it were electrical, it may be hard to diagnose, but they would give it a go. She ended up having them replace a relay as an attempt to fix the problem. A few days later the car was still having the same issues. So she asked me to go in with her to explain to the mechanic what I thought it was. Initially I questioned whether it was related to her after market alarm and the ignition kill switch function, perhaps the alarm brain was failing and causing the switch to shut off. So I asked, "Is it possible that the ignition switch or the alarm are causing a problem? It almost seems like the car is electronically 'turning off'." The guy at the counter flatly said, that couldn't be the problem and the other possible solutions may total up to $650 in additional parts and labor. She ended up not having the repairs done and two weeks later I took the car to the Honda Dealership for an oil change and they let me know there was a recall from 2002 on the ignition switch that "could cause the vehicle to shut off while driving." Honda fixed it for free and it's been problem free for almost a year now. These guys were very nice and tried to be helpful and did everything they could to not unreasonably charge her for repairs she did not need. The fact of the matter and the reason for 2 stars is I asked about the problem and it was dismissed was agrivating. I've been told that a lot of auto shops will run checks for Recalls to see if there are known problems with vehicles. Had this been done, it would have saved her the first repair which was around $150 bucks for the first attempt. read more

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 14th). 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. read more

Once again Jimmy is the best. Fixed my car, had it smogged for me, cleaned it and delivered it in great working condition. Explained all that was done and as always am so very grateful to have found Precision Auto Care. We bring all our cars to them and we are always very pleased with the service we received. Thank you Jimmy....you rock!!! read more

A while ago my sister Took my car here for a normal tune up and a few days later my car started giving me problems , went to another mechanic they told me that the tune up was done poorly and screws were missing , would trust these guys with your car. read more

One word to describe this shop HONEST! I came in with a check engine light worried because I had gone to pep boys to read the codes. Apparently my cylindar was misfireing . I knew that at this point, I was going to have to break my bank. Later that day I went to Precision for a FULL engine diagnostics.... Long story short, I needed oil and im an idiot! Any dishonest mechanic could have taken advantage. WHen people ask if i have a mechanic. I now am proud to say that I do! read more

My first time at the shop was this week, and I had a great experience. Car overheated, and I wasn't sure if there was any damage to the motor. The staff did a great job diagnosing the problem (failed hose), and repaired at a fair price. They even noticed my brake light was out, and replaced multiple bulbs for free. I will be coming back in the future! read more

My car wouldn't start Friday afternoon. I called around 4:30pm and a very friendly woman answered. I asked if I could have my car towed there and she said absolutely and they would look at it first thing Monday when they re-opened. By 8:30am that Monday I had already received a call letting me know it was just a simple dead battery and my car was already ready for pickup. I drove in a few hours later, picked up my car, and had great service from the person checking me out. I plan to go back for any issue in the future! read more

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. read more

****Jimmy Is Awesome **** My check engine light came on, then my car starting driving funny. I thought I needed a new Transmission. So I brought my vehicle to Precision Auto Care in San Leandro, CA, based on the great reviews they received. I'm so glad I made this choice. The staff is great, friendly & very honest. Turns out all I needed to replace was my Output Shaft Speed Sensor. They fixed the issue and it only cost $230. I don't need a new transmission. (Thank you Jesus) now my check engine light is off and I can smog my car. This will definitely be the place I take my car for any future auto repairs! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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

WOW! I am impressed. They are very honest, fair, skilled, friendly, on time, efficient, and did some extra work for me for free. I had taken my car to another shop and after nearly $400 later I was told that I needed a full-fledged mechanic to work on my car. Huh? Wasn't I at a mechanics' shop already and why wasn't I told that they really only do tune-ups? I checked around and was told to go to Jimmy at Precision Auto in San Leandro. Well, Jimmy took care of me. He told me that the other place should have spotted the problem right away by pulling one wire off and seeing the result. Jimmy was fabulous. He kept me up-to-date on everything and my car is running like it's brand new. He wants me to drive a 1000 miles, bring it in, and he will give me a FREE oil change just to make sure everything is in top shape. Unbelievable. I DEFINITELY recommend him. Honest is one word to describe Jimmy. Expert is the word to describe the mechanics. Another one word to describe Jimmy is WOW! read more

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 Yelp (and others) reviews are mostly excellent. Now lets see what they can do with my old battered Ford F150 with 139,000 miles!! Steve B. Hayward read more

My husband and I have taken our Toyotas to this place for about 15 years now. In other words, we don't often need the service, but when we do, it's always honest, professional and straightforward. Simply couldn't recommend Jimmy and his team more highly. read more

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!!!!!!! read more
