We were leaving for Portland and I realized that the tire pressures were uniformly low. Panic!!!!! I have had excellent service done at Precision Tune in the last. When I dropped in and explained the problem, they didn't hesitate or even ask my name. They had me go to the back bay door and filled all my tires immediately. With a smile. No charge. Great people. Great service. read more

Had my vehicle for weeks and did not complete the repair. Terrible customer service. I paid to have my vehicle towed to another shop to complete the repair. Owner drives an electric car and is clueless in addition to being incredible rude. read more

I needed an inspection for car insurance. I was hesitant to try them at first due to a few bad experiences with the prior owner several years ago, but I walked away delighted! The front desk person was very professional and friendly. Ron Patel, the owner, worked with me to understand what was needed. I was able to get in the very next morning. The waiting area had everything I needed to be productive during the wait. I was able to get to know Ron during part of the time and was very impressed with his friendly manner, knowledge and experience. I highly recommend them to anyone needed help with their vehicles. read more

I would leave a negative star if this site would let me I have contacted precision tune, corporate three times now with no return calls or emails or text. I still have my Duramax diesel engine with $9000 worth of damage because precision tune of taking out the glow plugs in the head of my engine and then repair it with JB weld go figure. Precision tune in Gig Harbor has told me there's nothing they can do because their insurance will not pay for them to fix my engine. Please beware before taking your automobile here. read more

They are crooks . Charge me 35% more than the quoted price from the Tacoma location. Refused to honor a written quote. They just want to gouge GH residents. Never will I go there if I could I would rate negative stars....don't take their response below as indication they wanted to make the situation better. I called and all they did is double down. So a total waste of time. I would like to add that they seem to be a OSHA and CPS violation waiting to happen. Two children under 8 were hanging around when I dropped off and picked up (5 hrs later). One child was walking in and out of the bay u supervised. I sure help for the health and safety of the children they would make better choices in the future. read more

This place deserves ZERO stars. Took my car in for a basic oil change. I returned to find my vehicle spraying oil throughout the entire engine bay. My car had a 12-point inspection 2 months prior to this oil change with zero oil leak or issue noted. It is no coincidence that the second this "shop" touched the car there is now a MAJOR issue. Save yourself some serious time and money and avoid this place at all costs. read more

Honest and trustworthy...period. They also have a great mechanic who is skilled and experienced. Me? I was a Chrysler journeyman mechanic and built a race car in my twenties ..went back to school and worked as an engineer for 30 years. I've been giving people advice about car issues my entire life ...so here's the point: I've had 3 difficult and unusual problems with 3 different cars that I asked them for help with and each time they not only found and fixed the problems but charged me fairly when I could have easily been taken advantage of. So my advice to you is not to hesitate to use them you are in good hands. Gary Z read more

I locked my keys in my car in the parking lot outside, and despite it not being one of their offered services, the receptionist kindly asked if any of the mechanics would be able to help. Christian and Jack came out to see what they could do and put a lot of effort into helping me even though they weren't obligated to. They were both really kind, helpful, and very knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to help a potential customer and I really appreciate it! Thank you guys!! read more

So I went to Precision tune to get a quote on my 2006 outback 3.0 for a tune up. The reason I picked this company was because of a coupon offer. This is what the coupon stated. Maintenance tune-up which included a Tune up Verification, Replace Spark Plugs. 6 cyl. $69.95. So I called Peninsula Subaru and checked with them for a tuneup quote and it was $300 plus tax. Once I arrived at Precision to verify that this coupon was legitimate I was told to sit down and wait for a tech to come and talk to me. After 40 minutes an employee came out and quoted to me the following. "The spark plugs will cost $120 and the install will be $300". How can the quote go from $69.95 to $420. I pointed out the sign in the office above where I was sitting stated the price of $69.95 included "plugs installed". She said it was a little misleading. I would call it a bait and switch. If I could give a negative number I would have. Never will I go back to this business. In my opinion this business is a huge ripoff. read more

I don't trust this place anymore. The new owner (since 2019) is not as engaged as the old owner. He has friendly yet unprofessional front desk staff, and the "technicians" way overbid for rear brakes on my van, just picked it up from Schwab and was exactly half the price PT quoted...Will be looking for a new shop for my fleet read more

My appreciation goes our to Ron Patel, Manager & his team at Precision Auto for providing quality service. Ron went out of his way to problem solve an issue with my vehicle. He was determined to find an alternative and affordable way to fix my vehicle. I value Ron and his an entire team for providing exceptional auto care. Precision Tune Auto Care is the best! read more

So my mom and I brought in her car in for a smog check... our car was working fine we drove it from Los Angeles to Gig Harbor..... the minute we get in the car after the smog check from precision to drive off something was notably very wrong with the car.. we drove back immediately to ask Justin what had happened .. he couldn't even come and check the car out for himself before letting us drive off.. the drive home was horrible and dangerous. The car wouldn't go over 45 mph on the freeway and when we had to drive up the hill to get home we were holding our breath... THANK YOU PRECISION FOR NOTHING... my moms car is being towed this very moment to the dealer because it is un-drivable... !!!! THANKS FOR THE GREAT SERVICE PRECISION :) read more

Needed my truck checked out and fixed. Precision Auto Care did an excellent job. Professional, honest, prompt and affordable. Under new management now and I recommend them read more

The owner told me "I WAS GOING TO Hell" When I told him I wouldn't be coming back because of their shady price increases that happened 3 times during one visit for a oil change. I paid in full and when they called me to pick it up told me my car was really thirsty! It took more oil & would be another $20 What??? That makes no sense! Don't you drain it and refill it? His poor sister that runs the place is always having to clean up this pathetic mans messes with the public. I see quite a pattern after reading his reviews he obviously has a PROBLEM WITH WOMEN. After coming here for 20 years...this woman won't be returning!! read more

Had a good experience here when I took my car in for emissions test. The staff was very friendly and they had the car done right when they said they would. read more

I just want to say they were amazing! My car broke down and through some hard work they figured it all out! Mike stayed in communication the whole time. Monica dealt with my constant calls and working with my warranty to get everything covered. They honor all of their work and even got my car finished sooner than I expected. I will continue to go to them as they are now my trusted mechanic. read more

Update: It's with a heavy heart that I update this review. The air-conditioner we had PT fix lasted only 2 times before it stopped. :( More importantly, I recently took my new car to PT for an oil change, and with their coupon they told me it would cost $90 as my car required synthetic oil. We still had a free change at the dealership so we took it there. While at the dealership they told me the car DOES NOT require a synthetic oil, and that an oil change at the dealership is only $40 with the recommended oil from Honda. Previous review: usually try to avoid going to the mechanic, and change our oil and do basic maintenance at home. It's cheaper to get the oil changed at Precision Tune than to DIY, and the team is trustworthy and always has a smile. We have started bringing our cars in for the things we have been avoiding fixing, because we finally have a team we trust. My husband finally has a working AC and we didn't have to break the bank. Thanks PT! read more

So last Friday my wife brought her car into Precision Tune Gig Harbor that we frequent often for oil changes and low and behold she needs a new battery. My wife called me and told me that they had to jump start the car 3X. I said that's a load of crap because I just replaced that battery 2 yrs ago. And anyone that knows me knows that I only buy the best. I mean this is the super duty high-end kick ass start up in a blizzard type battery. Anyhow she takes the vehicle to a Local Automotive store where I buy all my stuff from including batteries and they told my wife they did not recognize the battery. Of course my wife gets stranded and I rush to her aid. I popped the hood and about craped myself. That's not my battery. It's an undersized old battery that does not belong in my vehicle. We took the car to the automotive store to verify by RECORD what I purchased two years ago. YES MY BATTERY WAS STOLEN AND SWAPPED OUT. Do I have proof... NOPE I am just using deductive reasoning and alleging that something amiss happened here. Why do I feel this way? Two years ago Precision Tune told my wife that her brakes were going out and they were really bad. I forgot the number they used to describe the breaks otherwise I would write it provide it here. Anyhow I procrastinated and decided to hold off on new breaks for a few months. Several months later I go a blow out and decided to have my breaks looked out while they were replacing the tires (Les Schwab). They told us that our breaks were fine and did not need replacing. It been two years and they are still good. I gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time but now after this incident I have changed my tune. read more

I first came to Precision Auto over a year ago to get an emissions inspection. Although this is just a perfunctory test, I was immediately impressed with the personalized attention to my vehicle. I was greeted by Azziz, who I assume is the manager or owner, and he not only gave me a complete review of the emissions inspection but also took the time to look at the vehicle and give some no-pressure suggestions. I felt that he was genuinely interested in the health of the vehicle. I came back a few times for oil changes and those were all fine. At one point my Dodge Ram pickup truck was having some serious issues and I limped into the shop. I received a complete evaluation with up front explanation of costs and options. I felt empowered - not pressured - to decide what to do next. It turned out that I simply was not firing on all cylinders due to a failed spark plug and I was given the options from simple to deep and went ahead with the work. I chose the options that worked for me and the work was performed thoroughly and in a timely manner. Since the repair I feel like I have a new vehicle. I will continue to use this shop as I feel that the staff cares about my vehicle and is out to help me and treat me fairly. read more

My husband and I have been going to Precision since moving to Gig Harbor 7 years ago. We've always been impressed by the customer care, the pricing, and most importantly the owner is ALWAYS there! You can see that he truly cares about not just his business but the customers and the service they receive. Today, after the oil was changed in my 2005 Ford Expedition and parked, I asked for a "roundabout idea" of what new shocks would cost. He asked if he could actually pull my car into the shop again to give my husband and I a more accurate quote. I'm always impressed by the service. This establishment is not pushy by any means and allows the customer to have control over the decisions without feeling obligated or forced to have work done immediately. I see many reviews that state this establishment fails to communicate with the customer yet in nearly 7 years of business with them, I've NEVER found this to be true. I'm always informed of the cost prior to my car being repaired, I'm always informed of fees even if it's a $10 fee as to what it's for or why and there's always communication of what is further needed if there is a need. read more

Want to let you know BMW fixed he problem for 156.88 you asked for360.00 and you lied

So my car was reaching 90k miles, and it just finished a trip of around 1700 miles, it was time for a check up and they offered one for 170. The price tag was for a 4-cyl and my car being a 6-cyl it had a bit more cost, not enough to blow the bank at though. I mentioned a few things I knew that were wrong with it, and they also confirmed what I was aware of, and brought up something I didn't bring up that I knew was an issue already (granted this was an accident and I had completely forgotten about the break fluid issue I was having). But as I was already aware, the owner (Forgive me if I'm mispelling, but Azizz I believe he said, know him when I see him, terrible at names though.) said that it, while could be an issue later, wasn't really up for saying it's a necessity, instead just something to keep an eye on. The reason for the 3 stars....well, they said everything was fixed, but the one thing that wasn't, that I was very specific about, was the windshield wiper fluid nozzle on the driver's side is busted on my car, it puddles out while the passenger side sprays fine. They said it was all taken care of so I said great. As I drove off I pressed my windshield button...same issue I was having. Now that in itself was only about 15 bucks, and the hose connecting to the nozzle was dry rotted, so needed to be replaced, but this makes me feel they really didn't test it. I know it's something small, but it's minor details that are important. Overall though I'm very happy with the service I was given, and do intend to return to them for their business. The lady at the counter is very courteous and the technicians are friendly, the latter being very important to me. I may adjust this rating based on what my return visit yields me, but I was too lazy to take my car right back, and I had a few plans that held more priority than that small issue. read more

DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE. They lied to me and they will lie to you. The lady owner toll me that they could not credit the diagnostic towards the repair. I called the corporate office customer service and they said it was up to the shop not a franchise policy. They charged me twice the amount for just the diagnostic. Yes they are very friendly, to steal your money. DO NOT GO THERE. read more

My dashboard display wasn't showing the mileage, and the owner looked up the problem, and found the fix, which unfortunately required going to the dealer. It did, however, make dealing with the dealer auto repair much more tolerable since precision had already figured out what the problem was. Another time they recommended going to the dealer because the car was still under warranty, even though they could have made a profit from my business, instead they made a continued loyal customer. Also, they checked to make sure the problem I was having wasn't due to anything from the last oil change I had gotten there for free. read more

having had oil changed a couple of times before with reasonable price and service i decided to trust them with a tune up. Hold on to your wallet when you walk thru the door. parts that are readily available anywhere are charged at three times retail spark plugs that cost $60 are billed at $128.00 and spark plug wires at $40 are billed at $116.00 differential fluid should be $25.00 and billed at $60. oxygen sensor should be $45 and billed at $122.00. Use extreme caution with this shop . read more

Been going here for 20 years, always good service, staff is friendly professional, and fair pricing. I will continue to go here. Highly recommend. read more

I brought my car in for a simple oil change and when I returned my seat was leaned all the way back and broken. The owner began yelling and calling out obscenities telling me to get the fuck out of there. They refused to return my money. The owner an Indian man was very hostile and threatening he overpowered me and then came towards me with his hands up telling me to leave as if he were going to cause physical harm. I plan to file a lawsuit for the damages. DO NOT GO HERE! This man is volatile and aggressive. I've never had a business owner speak in this manner. I should have checked his reviews. My seat was not broke upon bringing it there. read more

Took my car in for blinking headlights. They told me I needed a charging system test. I had just had this done at O'Riley's, and said it was negative. They told me they must preform the test anyway, so I paid $47. Surprise surprise, there was no problem with the charging system. Then they told me it was a break light relay and headlight switch. $400 later they told me it was fixed, but they told me they broke something which rendered the car undrivable, and I had to pay $150 to fix it. We were annoyed but paid it. We picked up the car and 5 minutes down the road, the head lights were STILL blinking. Also all the coolant leaked out both into their parking lot and our driveway. It wasn't leaking when we had dropped it off, so we took it back, and they charged us another $500 to "fix the leak". Nobody called me, I had to call 5 minutes before they closed, because nobody called to say my car was ready, so I had to pay over the phone, without inspection. I payed, picked it up in the dark, and it was still leaking. Now they say it was another problem! They wanted $600 to fix that. And our headlights are still blinking. We asked for a refund or to fix what they had damaged, but they refused. They asked us to call back when the owner returned after christmas to discuss a resolution. We called back after the first of the year and again asked for a refund of just the labor. They told us no. I would not recommend this business to anybody read more

Precision Tune Auto Care - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Gig Harbor, Washington

If I could give zero stars I would. My husband use to trust the old owners. I brought my car to get fluids changed and spark plugs. Agreed spark plugs after test I gave permission for and agree on price told them I would be out of town, to pick up upon return . Came back ,walked to pick up and car was still up in the air, said they did more tests (did not have my permission to do) and that they had to take apart my whole engine and to fix it would be 6000 dollars. Told them they didnt have my permission to do that and no way would I pay that . (old car just needed it until spring for two block driving) The mechanic could barely pronounce a sentence his supervisor came out as if it was my fault and they were doing me a favor. Left there sounded awful , fluid everywhere now no longer able to drive. This place use to be trustworthy now they are crooks. They had no right or permission to take my engine apart . Thinking I should take action.... DO NOT TAKE YOUR Vehicle THERE O stars..... They Are crooks..... read more

I have seen unfavorable reviews and have considered going elsewhere because of them but always end up back here because they are incredible. They always get me in and out quickly for an oil change. The other day I had to get a headlight changed and unfortunately with a Nissan they have to remove the whole front fender. I didn't have anywhere else to be so I just stayed and waited. Not only did they fix the light perfectly I had a blast with the inside staff. Good people, good prices, great service!! read more

I have been having issues with my vehicle. I was a little distraught about my situation. This shop was a nice place to go to get all my service done. They diagnosed my vehicle and walked me through all the steps to get my car back in order. The communication was fantastic and pleasant. This is my auto shop for life and I will recommend it to everyone I know. read more

This place is a total rip off, I went their together my car tested for emissions and when it came to the part to make their recommended repairs I asked for the cost up front and went over with them carefully ( I hate being ripped off).. I said go ahead and when it was done the mechanic called and said it was ready and I asked him the total amount owed and it was to the penny what I was quoted from the young lady at the counter. I go pick the car up and the owners wife checked me out and she charged me an addition 30 bucks, I told her that was wrong and she told me I was wrong, I asked her to go get the young lady and ask her what the charge was to be, she did and the young lady said that it was the price quoted (178.00). The owner said the young lady was wrong, I asked about the mechanic who confirmed the 178.00 and she said he was wrong. Ok, I get it here, I am getting ripped off and I could see it in plain sight. I paid and I will never step in this place again, I feel sorry for all the senior citizens I saw getting talked and scared into things that I am sure are over exaggerated Beware people. read more

Don't go here! I took my car in for a simple oil change and they forgot to screw the cover plate on under my car. Not happy.. This mis-hap ended up costing me money to fix and when I called them to see of they'd help me with the additional cost to repair my vehicle they weren't willing to stand behind their shanti work. I will neVer ever go here again! read more

Had a coupon for $19.99. Small print said they add for supplies. They also charge a labor fee for removing the skid pan. $19.99 actually means about $30, unless you want the premium oil in which case it would run about $41. read more

I took my car for an oil change here for the first time today since my beloved Sears Auto Service center (most honest place on the planet) closed. I hate taking my car anywhere other than my dad's garage due to practically every chain service shop in the industry predictably taking advantage of my lack of automotive knowledge, and this place was about on par with others. People at the front desk were very nice and efficient. The wait was not long on a Monday afternoon, service was quick despite no appointment, and they were mostly up front about their prices, however, it's ridiculous that they charge an extra $10 just for 5W20 oil when IMHO it should just be included in a standard oil change. They tried to charge me another $10 to top off the coolant which I knew we had at home, so I said I'd pass. Got home and had my dad check for me and he said my coolant level was FINE. I may give them another chance but I will be wary of price gouging. Anyone with minimal car knowledge, beware. This place doesn't go above and beyond to be honest any more than the rest of them. read more

People don't use this place for anything!!! I went to have my emissions done and it failed. The price to find out what the code was 150.00 and that doesn't even include what it would cost to fix the check engine light. Took it to my friends shop, had an oil change done the light went out and I was done for 40.00. Took my car to the state emissions in Tacoma passed with flying colors. These pigs are just out to make every nickel and dime they can off people.....if you have a mom or dad and they are elderly, tell them not to go there because they will talk them into everything they can...BEWARE OF THESE CON ARTIST!!! USE SOMEONE ELSE!! read more

Another great experience at Precision. I have old cars with a lot of needs. The staff here- from the 3 amazing people at the front to the talented technicians in the shop. Same day service always. Thank you! read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I had a great first impression but 1,800 dollars later I have two broken parts, a slipped off belt TWO days after service. They refuse to cover warranty. I will be taking legal action. They are professional looking but the mechanics are UNTRAINED and do not know what they are doing. The other shop I went to after my belt slipped off said I was lucky that I didn't get into an accident. read more

My husband took our 2015 SUV in for a standard oil change. After a we brought it home, we noticed the vehicle dripping oil. We took it back in to Precision Tune Auto. When they tried to remove the oil cap, it took two people and two separate tools because it was so overtightened, which damaged the cap, and was causing oil to drip out. All they did was replace the oil filter and clean the leaking oil off the engine. We took it home and the oil started leaking again. This time when my husband took it back to them for inspection, the assistant manager said that he saw them over tighten the oil cap and damage the seal, so it now leaks oil. The manager JR said it was a cheap car with cheap parts and the most he could do was a discount on a new oil cap and service. When my husband told him he needed to fix the damage to the vehicle that they caused, JR told him never mind, he will charge us the entire parts and service fee. When I called to speak with the manager, he was rude/disrespectful and uncooperative. His answer to making his companies wrong doing to a customer was, "See you in small claims court," and hung up the phone. I know a lot of people in the area that service their vehicles here and I will definitely tell them my experience and that customer service is not guaranteed, especially since this is an independent franchise so there is no accountability to take care of the customer. read more
