I had a really solid experience with Auto Precision here in Vista working on my 1977 Monte Carlo. It's not always easy finding a shop that understands older cars, but these guys definitely do. They replaced the rear main seal, fixed an exhaust leak, and took care of a handful of smaller things that needed attention. What I appreciated most is that they went through the car thoroughly and tightened everything up instead of just doing the bare minimum. The pricing felt fair for the amount of work done, especially considering it's a classic and not always straightforward. After getting it back, the car runs smoother and feels much more dialed in overall. You can tell they take pride in their work and actually care about what they're putting out. I'll definitely be back and would recommend them to anyone looking for honest, quality work. read more

Auto Precision - My Monte Carlo at AUTO PRECISION! - Auto Repair Near Me - Vista, California

My late father is the one that found this gem of an auto repair shop and now my husband and I are also customers. The owner Luke is HONEST, straightforward and fair to his customers which is a rarity in these times. We have been customers for 8 years now and have been extremely happy with the work that has been done on our cars. We have had a few super tricky issues that were very puzzling and somehow Luke figured out the problem . One of the most enjoyable things about AUTO PRECISION is that there are several of these old guys that visit Luke each morning and sit in the lobby with their coffee and Dunkin Donuts and chat. Sometimes I have waited for my car to be repaired and I thoroughly enjoyed talking to these guys. I highly recommend Precision Auto as a reputable business. read more

I found in my neighborhood 1.4 miles away this shop about 25+ years ago. I've relied on this standard of car care ever since! That's above a 5-Star rating to Me! These Guys lead by the working owner, Luke stand the test of time for delivering the automotive service consistently! Risking my integrity: Tell them Tom sent me! read more

I could have sworn I filled out this review after my first visit last year. But, I guess not. Glad I have the opportunity to tell you how great this facility is with workmanship, trust, confidence, and cost! Yes, they are friendly too! I've worked with Luke (owner) and Tony (long-time employee) & it has been my pleasure. They tell it like it is and allow you to get the work done a little at a time, if you need to. All the work done on the car or needs to be done on the car is in the computer so everything about your car is noted. I have never left with a disappointment in the work done, the cost it took me to repair & the confidence I have in these guys. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Luke and the guys at Auto Precision have kept my 1991 Chevy S-10 truck on the road for a long long time. Luke has gone through long extensive hours to find issues that aren't seen by the naked eye and made proper judgement calls as to what needs to be done. He is honest and always takes care of me and my family. Extremely intelligent and kind and always breaks down the intricacies of the job when asked. I'm a gear head and would trust Luke to do anything. Extremely Recommend! read more

Auto Precision - 1991 Chevy S-10 - Auto Repair Near Me - Vista, California

My alternator went on my civic a couple miles away from the shop. AAA highly recommended them so I decided to give the a shot. The mechanics were able to get the job done quickly and for a great price. I highly recommend getting work done here. I also saw a lot of happy customers which was a good sign. read more

These guys are outrageously priced. I got a bid for my air conditioning. It was over $1,300. I got it done for $518. Unfortunately I had to pay them there diagnostic fee of $157 so I could take it to another place. A-1 Air Conditioning did a fantastic job for almost a third of the price. read more

Finally found a shop I can trust,after many frustrations and disappointments.Luke was not only knowledgeable of my Infiniti G35,but also found the problem(the lesser cost problem,the starter) quickly,and had my car back the same day.A huge plus was his communication style that removed a lot of potential stress and worry. Thanks, Luke R.Price read more

Luke and his crew continue to take care of my vehicle with amazing service and very fair prices. His AAA recommended service reputation still continues and you will never be not happy about getting service done here. Don't forget after service if you have an active aaa membership, it provides a 10% discount on parts and labor up to $50, and warranty extension on parts & labor that they provide. Maintenance, repairs, you name it, they do it right and find what's wrong. Recently had them fix oil leaks on my 09 Honda Accord from the vtec solenoid and a pretty big leak from the oil filter housing. Thank you, it's why I continue to come back for amazing and great service. :) read more

A few weeks ago my husbands car just stalled. Was told it was the starter, so we replaced it. Less than a week later it stalled again. He managed to get it towed to Auto Precision - AAA recommendation when towing. Though we did not go through them for the repairs. My husband was impressed how honest and helpful Luke and Michael were he wanted me to make sure I did a yelp. (he doesn't have anything to do with computers lol) They were straight with him that his engine was gone, and that though they can do the work, he might want to check with the dealership and make sure it is not covered under warranty. Well it was covered under warranty. My husband was so happy to have honest business and people and wanted to make sure to give a review. read more

This auto repair facility is the most honest and fair business around! I highly recommend them, we have been going there for years and everytime they do an amazing job in a great turn around time. Like I said, fair and honest! read more

took our car to Auto Precision in Vista, by Discount Tire, to CHECK the breaks, they refused to let us take our car off the lot, without replacing the breaks, we had to pay them for a break job to drive it home, almost $1000.00 and they used the most expensive break linings they could get. Sadly, we were broke and could not pay our rent, so, never going back.....ever. VERY EXPENSIVE MISTAKE. read more

By far the best "little" neighborhood shop in San Diego county. if you want to be seen by the best.....you better be prepared and plan accordingly......you will find you'll need an appointment..3-5 days out. But let me say .....They are worth waiting for. You can trust these guys with your Jeep or your Jag. Great communication and "no-fluff", very, very fair pricing. Thanks luke........ read more

Luke (Owner) has Many years Experience and is Excellent in Diagnostic and Services. Luke saved me Tons of $$. He will "Down Sell" you if you do NOT need a particular service. Luke is Honest and Genuine. Highly Recommended... read more

I am a female in my mid-20's and know little to nothing about cars. When my car started steaming, I called AAA to get a tow. While I have an auto shop I typically go to and trust, it was too far away for the tow. I was reluctant to trust anyone else because I have been manipulated and up-charged at many places... probably because I look like a female in my mid-20's that knows little to nothing about cars, lol. Precision Auto was a AAA recommended shop, so I took the gamble and trusted AAA. Luke was very professional and personal. When the mechanics got a look inside my car and found it was a bit of a jig saw puzzle (due to an old fender bender), he immediately called me before going further so that I would know that this "simple fix" might turn out to be more complicated than originally anticipated. I appreciated the phone call and the honesty. I got a good vibe from Luke as being an honest person, but I still wanted peace of mind so I had my dad call him. My dad talked cars with Luke and it was immediate obvious that Luke was doing what needed to be done so I could safely drive my car and not looking to up-charge me at all. I even got a discount with my AAA account and a discount on my part through Luke's wholesale connection. Luke also checked in on me to make sure I had a ride coming. Would recommend and use them again! Thanks, guys! read more

This place was a recommendation from someone at another auto shop. When I called, Luke was very nice and was able to get my car in right away. I had some issues with the brakes, but Luke was able to fix the problem same day and my car is running better now. If you're looking for good service at a fair price, I highly recommend! read more

Took my classic car here for the first time to have some new parts installed - front brake kit, master cylinder and booster, headlights, air filter, and wheels/tires. I'm very nervous about taking my classic car anywhere, but Luke took great care of it and I received it back in the same condition as I dropped it off. Two things that really impressed me. Luke always answered the phone when I called and he even called me a few days after I picked the car up to make sure everything was running smoothly. Auto Precision was referred to me by a fellow hot rodder and I will definitely continue to have him work on my classic car. Thanks Luke. read more

This is the best car repair- honest to a fault! Last month the dealership told me i needed a new waterpump- to the cost of hundreds of dollars, and luke at auto precision (the owner) assured me i did not! I am grateful to know an honest mechanic! read more

I want to start out by saying I have not been to this shop with my car yet. But I will be using them for all future repairs and maintenance. To make an incredibly long story short I called these guys to get a labor quote for my car, one that I have been waiting for hours to receive from the shop my car currently sits. They gave me a rough guesstimate within minutes. No wishy washy no nothing. I would have gone with them except my circumstances made me stay with the current shop. (Bummer because I liked them over the phone immediately.) Lesson learned today was do your research into who you are going to use in unexpected situation. I've always gone with the dealership solely because my car was under warranty and now it isn't. Another reason to use these guys is that I've now had the time to ask around to fellow vista peps and they recommended this shop. All I have to say is THANK YOU Auto Precision for your great service. I will be seeing you for my next anything and everything on my car. read more

Luke is a great guy to have take care of your vehicle. I use him for our American van fleet and my personal Toyota.

I needed an alignment quickly because I had just replaced my bad outer tie rod ends; was referred to them by another shop that wouldn't deal with my lowered suspension. Luke at Auto Precision was willing to squeeze me in that day. Although the adjustment options were limited due to the suspension lowering, they worked hard and took the time to dial in the best settings they could for drivability and low tire wear. I love the way the car handles now and really appreciate the time and care put into the job! On top of that, their fee was very reasonable! Happy to recommend this place and will certainly go back again when I need more work done! read more

Luke is great. Of all AAA-approved repair shops, I've found Auto Precision to be the most forthcoming about what was really needed and reasonably priced. read more

Fast service. Great work. Inspection and oil change were done as per estimate. The guys were very professional and did the required work without pressure for other services. Auto precision will now do all services with my cars! read more

We moved to California 5 years ago and never thought we'd find a mechanic as good as back home. We happily found Luke at Auto Precision in Vista. He's been taking care of our family's vehicles since. From minor to major (thankfully rare) work, he's always been honest and fair in his prices. He and his crew are friendly, knowledgeable, and have never pushed repairs we don't need. The customer service here is amazing. I wouldn't have our vehicles worked on anywhere else. Thank you Luke and crew! read more

Luke is the best. I've taken both of my Suburus to him for years and wouldn't trust anybody else.

Being referred by AAA for authomotive service, Luke's business is tops!!! Micheal at the shop diagnosed the problem, fixed it, and then explained the importance of a severe belt that needed to be replaced, and what damage it could do if it wasn't taken care of. Very reasonible in price, and they do care about their customers. I would highly recommend using their service. read more
