In August 2026, I had an oil/filter change and Smog check on my car at Freeport Automotive…read more Freeport Automotive does not perform Smog checks, but there's a business behind them that does, and Freeport Auto takes it over there and gets the Smog checks done. Everything was fine. About 10 days later, I had a bunch of error codes/messages flashing across my dashboard. So I called Dion and explained what was happening. He said to bring it in whenever I could, and he would take a look at it. I returned to Freeport Auto that afternoon and Dion was able to quickly identify and resolve the issue. He said it's possible that one of my sparks was going out, which caused the "Check Engine" code to flash. Dion said that error code more than likely triggered the other 5-6 error codes to flash. Dion was able to clear all the codes. His recommendation was for me to get a tune-up within 5 or 6 months. He said that even though I have very low mileage on my car, he recommended getting the tune-up. The spark plugs will be replaced at that time and I should not encounter that issue anymore. Such a relief! Thanks so much, Dion! I appreciate your calm demeanor and for quickly diagnosing and resolving my car issue and putting me at ease!

The customer service was welcoming and friendly from beginning to end. I walked in and was able to…read moreget someone to look at my car. They didn't suggest I pay for a diagnosis. They were able to take a quick look under my hood and understand the issue right away. (I understand this isn't always the case but it shows that they are experts in the field and not trying to get over on people). Sergio, was able to accommodate services for me within a few days. Dropping off and picking up my car was seamless. Price points are decent. And as of now, my car is running well and the problem has been resolved.

Thank you, Precision Auto Service for saving me over $900!…read more When my Chevy 3500 Diesel Pick-up Truck developed an issue with its Transmission Control Module (TCM) I took it to the Chevy dealer. When that dealer didn't fix it I had it towed to a second Chevy dealer. When it looked like the second dealer wouldn't be able to make the repair, I called Precision Auto Service in Sacramento. I spoke with Rick. After days of dealing with the problem, I had gained some knowledge concerning TCMs (essentially a computer that helps the vehicle's transmission be as efficient as possible). From speaking with Rick, I could tell he knew his stuff. I explained the problem and asked if Precision Auto would be able to fix it, in the event the second dealer could not. Rick assured me they could make the repair. Next, Rick asked me about my warranty with Chevy. My truck is six years old and has 63K miles - well over the warranty - or so I thought. Rick educated me as to the Federal Emissions Warrant that goes beyond the GM warranty. I looked into it as neither dealer had mentioned it. Chevy was able to make the repair and was ready to bill me over $900. Because of Rick's technical expertise and his mentioning of the Federal Emissions Warranty, I knew the dealer wasn't being 'up front' regarding coverage under warranty. In the end, I didn't pay a dime! Next time my truck has any need at all I will have Precision Auto Service do the work. Before I could write a Yelp review on this business, I wanted to personally visit Precision Auto Repair; I had dealt with them over the phone only up to this point. I met Rick and his partner Scott. Both very personable and knowledgeable. I viewed the business and the repair bays. Precision Auto Service is clean, well run, and professional automotive repair shop.

Brought my car here to have an electrical problem resolved. I wanted to make sure that this shop…read morehad the equipment to run diagnostics and repair a broken PCU since very few shops have such capabilities other than the dealership. So I had called to make sure they could tackle this problem and was told "it should be no problem at all!" Except there actually was a problem! It wasn't until after I dropped off my car and waited about a week that I found that they were able to acquire the part...but they couldn't program it.... I was then told they needed to find an outside party to program the module! After giving them a few more days and not receiving any updates, I had to reach out again only to find that they still had not found anyone to program it. Going on two weeks without a car might not seem all too long but as I was initially told, the job would be "no problem". I will say I appreciate not being charged the diagnostic fee, but I don't appreciate them not being completely up-front about everything from the beginning. Had I been told "hey, we can easily get you the part BUT it will take a little bit longer since we will need to reach out to another vendor for them to flash and program the computer module", then I wouldn't be upset. I just didn't appreciate being led to believe it would be a simple and easy task they could tackle right away. I also don't like the lack of communication or follow-ups along the way. I literally had to reach out and bother them every time to find out if everything was going okay. But essentially my car sat in their shop virtually untouched for about two weeks. And within that period of time, I could have had my car sent elsewhere and the problem resolved by now. I'm sure this business does other fine work when it comes to car maintenance. I just wouldn't recommend going here for any electrical issues with your vehicle's computer systems, even if you're told it'll be "no problem".

For the current prices, I think it is better to call or show up in person to ask for a price quote.

Juan offered to look at the issues I was told by the dealership I had. Some of the items the dealer said I needed Juan was upfront and said it wasn't necessary or could wait. He agreed with a few issues (brake pads was #1) and two other items he will address next week. Once I left the business, I felt a sigh of relief. I didn't feel played or taken advantage of. Juan never rushed me and explained things in a way I understood. I appreciate him and his staff. I just got my brake pads done today and next week, he will complete the other items.

They QUICKLY reached back out and quoted me over a $1000 for the job, while Elk Grove Chevy quoted me just over $700. I knew this job entailed dropping the pan and working around the exhaust. Something that is really easy to do once on a lift. All in all...a 1.5 hour job, and that's a BIG stretch. I shared this dealer quote with them, and it was basically shared with me that I should go there (not in a rude way). Well, obviously I did. The moral of the story for me and for others should be, DON'T assume ind. auto mechanics will be cheaper than the dealership. I ALWAYS want to support local business, but I will not support local businesses when they can't do a job at a fair price, and I feel like the trend with specialized labor has been leaning way towards a place it never used to be.
