I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Precision People's Car Repair…read more I brought my vehicle in specifically because the right turn signal was not working. Before taking it to the shop, I had already replaced the bulbs myself, and when that did not solve the problem, I suspected an electrical issue. I explained this clearly when I dropped the car off and specifically asked them to diagnose the electrical problem related to the turn signal. When I arrived, Brian informed me that every vehicle receives a diagnostic inspection. That seemed reasonable, especially if it would lead to identifying and repairing the turn signal issue. I dropped my car off at 9:30 a.m. on May 22 and did not receive a call until approximately 30 minutes before closing. When I arrived to pick it up, I was charged $250 for a diagnostic report. To my surprise, the report did not identify the turn signal issue at all--the very reason I brought the vehicle in. I was told there was no electrical problem and that the turn signal simply needed new bulbs. This was frustrating because I had already replaced the bulbs and had specifically informed them of that fact. I then learned that they had not removed any components necessary to thoroughly inspect the front turn signal wiring because doing so would require additional labor charges. My concern is not that additional labor may have been required. My concern is that no one contacted me during the day to explain that a proper diagnosis of the issue would require additional work and authorization. Instead, I was presented with a $250 bill at the end of the day and left with the same unresolved problem I arrived with. Fortunately, my regular mechanic eventually returned my call. I took the vehicle to him, and he quickly found the actual issue: an electrical fault behind the front right wheel well. The repair cost me $150 and immediately fixed the turn signal. Afterward, I called Brian and explained what had happened. He told me he would discuss the matter with the owner and call me back regarding a resolution. As of today, I have never received that call. I understand that diagnostics take time and that not every problem is immediately obvious. However, charging a customer $250 while failing to investigate the specific issue they requested, incorrectly concluding there was no electrical problem, and then failing to follow up after promising to do so is unacceptable. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Precision People's Car Repair.

AVOID. My plug-in hybrid was having charging issues, so I took it to Precision People's. BIG…read moreMISTAKE. First red flag: They wanted to charge me to change the brake fluid and head gaskets. I'm not exactly a master mechanic, but I'm pretty sure those things have nothing to do with charging a plug-in hybrid, so I said no thank you to those suggestions. Second red flag: After charging me $350 to "diagnose" the charging issue, they tell me the problem is the charging cord is broken (the portable cord in the trunk for 3-prong outlets), and they want to charge me to replace it. I tell them that can't possibly be the problem because I don't use that cord to charge the car. So they come back with a different problem. Actually, a couple different problems. The explanation keeps shifting, and they're being rather... vague. Finally, they settle on a broken charging port harness. Their estimate is that it's going to cost thousands of dollars to fix it, and by the way, they add, it might end up costing more than their estimate. I'm getting the feeling something ain't right, so I talk to another mechanic about it. When I mention Precision People's and their fishy diagnosis, he chuckles and tells me, "Trust your instincts" (exact quote). So I take it to the Ford dealer, who charges $250 (less than Precision People's) to diagnose the problem. Turns out it's not the charging port harness at all. It's a completely different part, and the dealer's estimate is $500 to fix it. I show them the paperwork from Precision People's, and they tell me in no uncertain terms that Precision People's doesn't know what they're doing. I send the dealer's diagnosis paperwork to Luis at Precision People's, and Luis emails me back. He claims it's actually the Ford dealer who has it wrong. He says (I'm quoting exactly): "These types of faults can be particularly challenging to identify, even for experienced hybrid and electrical specialists like ourselves." So I have Ford fix it. And they do. It cost exactly $499.91, and now the car charges properly. I email Luis at Precision People's to tell him the Ford dealer fixed it, and that the car's charging fine now. I attach a copy of the dealer's paperwork with my receipt showing what I paid for the repair. I ask Luis to refund me the money he charged me for his bogus diagnosis, and I point out that they were going to charge me thousands of dollars to "fix" something that wasn't wrong. Luis refuses to refund me the money they charged me for the bogus diagnosis. According to Luis (again, exact quote): "I'm sorry we aren't able to refund any diagnostic testing charges. You paid for a block of testing time and that is what we provided." So, when you pay Precision People's a chunk of money to diagnose your car, you should know that you are not actually paying them to give you a correct diagnosis. Instead, you are paying them for the privilege of having your car in their shop for a day or two. They don't think they actually have to give you a correct diagnosis, and they might want to charge you thousands of dollars to "fix" something that isn't wrong. EDIT: Luis responds (exact quote): "Diagnoses can evolve as more evidence is uncovered." Luis, I don't want the diagnosis to "evolve as more evidence is uncovered." It's a car repair, not a murder investigation. I want the mechanic to get it right the first time, like the dealer did. You guys ordered the charging port harness; you charged me a $466 deposit, and it was going to take two weeks to get one. I had to tell you to cancel the order, remember? What if I hadn't gone to Ford? At what point in your evolving diagnosis would you have finally discovered that wasn't the problem? You're right about one thing: Diagnosing these cars is hard. That's why an honest mechanic would have said, "We're not qualified to diagnose this; I recommend you take it somewhere else."

I can't speak highly enough about Ruben and the team at BA Auto in San Pablo. Ruben is quick,…read moreefficient, personable, honest and incredibly knowledgeable. It's no wonder they've been in business for so long this place truly serves the community with integrity. I actually drove my car all the way up from LA because I couldn't find anyone down there who would give me a straight answer about what my car really needed. Most shops only saw desperation and dollar signs. They quoted me outrageous estimates based on a glance not even a real diagnostic and were clearly trying to gouge me. But when I brought my car to Ruben, it was a completely different experience. He took the time to walk me through what needed to be done, which parts were essential and what could wait. He gave me peace of mind and a reasonable, honest estimate including a fair diagnostic fee. I'm incredibly grateful for his time and speedy service. Ruben is not just a skilled mechanic he's someone who truly cares about people, not just profits. If you're looking for someone you can trust BA Auto is the place.

A bit puzzled by the negative reviews. First time using this shop and was pleasantly surprised by…read morethe quick service/diagnostic and excellent communication. I'm afraid there are no "deals" when it comes to auto repair. Most shops quotes are usually market rates and pretty competitive ... unless going to a dealership! Always stings when you are addressing mechanical issues. With that said, this shop uses software / app that clearly defines the issues that presented with a scan and diagnostic. The customer has the ability to review the most serious issues needing attention ... and agree to authorize which services to complete. Prices are clearly presented and broken down with parts/labor so it is very easy to price shop if you are hesitant to authorize a service. I did not find that this shop was a bargain nor overpriced ... again pretty much market rates for labor and parts. Some may find a $200 charge for diagnostic and overall vehicle inspection high, however I found the results well worth it as I now have a roadmap of services needing attention. Some I can handle myself and others will require the shop service. I consider the detailed diagnostics more of a safety check as my Toyota work van has 315,000 miles and still going strong. I dealt with Victor, who was extremely communicative and kept in touch multiple times during a 24 hour period with updates on the vehicle status.

Be very careful with this place and do your research ahead of time…read more I brought my car in for an oil change and tire rotations. I thought it was a little overpriced but I was open. I was told that it needed a few other services, including replacing 2 tires. For the services that my car "needed" I was given a quote of $4,000 (oil change, tire rotation, clean intake valves, replace the two back tires, replace front brakes, and replace transmission fluid). When I asked the guy who was assisting me what were the most urgent issues, he avoided answering my question directly and kept on trying to explain how it all was necessary. I ended up getting the oil change, tire rotations and one other thing that can't recall. The services that I didn't get were still about $3,000, I share this because this is where I felt like I was taken advantage of and lied to. I did tons of research, called various places to get quotes for the services I still had pending... everywhere else I called was a lot less than what this place quoted me. I ended paying $1200 for the needed services. Also, for the 2 tires he had told me I had to replace asap for my safety, I went to two tire shops and they both told me the it was only one tire that needed to be replace and that it could last at least 2 more months. Do your research, don't commit to getting the services done here. Couple other things to keep in mind: they will send a $20 if you have them a 5 star review ($20 isn't worth lying or going back). Also, they kept on contacting me after to come back and take care of the other services.
