Spark plug on Amazon

Service was ok and thought not much of it until I came home to do a little research. I paid $149.28 for 6 plugs and later found out they ripped me off. Could've got the same for $55-60. That's a 170% markup! Lost around $95 on extra charge. Future customers, buy your own parts first after asking what parts they will be using. Also borrow an OB2 reader from O Riley's to save yourself $ on unneeded repairs like I did. I felt scammed knowing they could've used a 5 minute OB2 reading to let me know it was a coil problem not spark plugs, coupled with using 170% marked up parts. Wasted $400+. Felt a little predatory. Good luck Reply to Owner: I did let them know I wanted spark plugs replaced from finding a similar case online. I take blame for not using a OB2 reader before going in. However, as professionals it would have been nice if you guys performed a 5 min OB2 reading like O Riley's. It would have saved everyone parts, costs, time and business. With that said, my post was mostly about the $95 markup on parts. That's a 170% markup on parts. That's just crazy. I already paid high labor cost of $225. Hence the feeling of being scammed. Sorry if all other mechanics do this practice too

I had brought my car to get my 60K maintenance done at 8am, earlier today. I went to pick up my car at 4PM then I get a text with my information from "Oscar" stating that he's my mechanic with the confirmed place that I had just picked up my car from 3.5 hrs ago. Then he tells me they're going to charge me an additional $1200 from what I had already paid along with the company's phone number to call if I have questions. This made me so upset and frustrated. I thought I found a super close by auto shop near my house and I would be able to trust this shop and the people who work there. Vile. I am horrified and disgusted that they tricked me and threatened me with debt collectors if I did not pay them. Only after threatening them that I will be contacting the police did they state "wrong customer". I would not recommend this shop as your information cannot be confidential and who knows, others might fall for their trap and get scammed by these people.

See all

Our BMW F30 is displaying a warning message that says: Drivetrain malfunction. Drive moderately, maximum drivetrain output not available. What would be the most probable cause for this and is your shop familiar with it to repair? Ty!

Hi Rick, there are too many possibilities for such warning to show up. The first step our technician need to do is scan the vehicle and obtain a diagnostic scan report so we can come up with a plan on how to diagnose the issue. We do repair issues… 

Have a 2003 VW Jetta and we have a electric circuit switch that is open and cannot find where it is? Have you ever come across this issue before and is it something you can fix? We have to disconnect the battery every time we don't drive or it dies.

Hi Steve, did you meant to say you have an electrical draw within your system which is causing your battery to die if you do not disconnect the battery? If so, yes. We do diagnose and evaluate this type of issue here at BYOC.

Hi, do you have trailer wiring installation service for Subrau?

Hi Darong, is this a direct plug and play or require modification? We will need more information to see if we can do it or not. Very likely we can, but installation instructions are required from the manufacturer or the product company. Please… 

What's the "average price" for an oil change on a Porsche Cayenne? I called this morning and was told $315? Other places do it for $120?

Hi LT, what year is your Cayenne? If other places are doing it for $120, go for it. Make sure they are using the proper oil and filter. Because my "average" BMW oil changes ranges from 140 - $180.And a Cayenne will cost in the same range if not… 

I bought this "coil overs" for my 2007 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5L Sedan. I'm would like you inquire of how it cost to install this "coil overs" nor do you guys do this kind of service?

Hi Dennis, yes we do install coilovers and perform an initial adjustment (height and dampening to your specifications). Please give us a call or email at us byoc2019@gmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you, thanks!

Did you retain Juan as one of your mechanics?

Yes, Juan is the mechanic here along with myself.

Best hidden gem in the entire South Bay. Unlike many mechanics who charge exorbitant prices, pad…read morelabor hours and car part prices, and avoid complex troubleshooting especially with older cars that could take hours, Mike has the expertise and equipments to perform any job big and small. His pricing is bar none the best value in the region by a wide margin and he is not afraid to take on complicated or perplexing mechanical issues. I have taken in my old Camry to troubleshoot oil leaking from multiple places and Mike was able to locate and plug all the leaks at a very cost effective way. No markup on parts. I have taken my old 1998 Camry to a dozen other mechanics and no one would touch it or they would quote me astronomical prices to fix the leaks. Not Mike! Same great experience when I took in my 2005 Subaru Legacy to fix a puzzling and complex issue with the vent actuators and ac control panel. Mike took on the job even though no other mechanics would, and promptly locate and fix the issue that has been troubling the car's cooling system. He would also take pictures of the repairs and parts that he replaced and guarantee his works. Extremely honest and ethical. Like what the other reviewers have mentioned, I wish I could give 10 stars if possible.

Macky, by far, is the most honest and humble mechanic I have ever done business with. He was helped…read moremy mom countless times, and many of my friends as well. I can promise you, you will NOT meet another mechanic like Macky.

Dropped off my mother's 2005 Toyota Matrix since it had approached 170K on the odometer. I had…read morepreviously recommended my fishing buddy Tom and his Toyota Sequoia for a transmission overhaul, and Tom was happy with Precision Transmission's work and reasonable price, so it was a no-brainer along with the handful of stellar Yelp reviews. Mother's Toyota Matrix had a slight whine before bringing it in, and Mr. Henry (very nice and professional, but what is most important to me is that he is very honest) educated me that it was the transmission bearings that may be getting old and eventually will go bad. But he also told me that the car was still good to run safely (even though the tranny bearings are getting old), and maybe even with some good maintenance and early and often fluid changes, might even last another 50K miles. Handed the key to my cute mother's cute little Toyota, and in 24 hours later received a phone call to come pick it up. While driving her Toyota Matrix home, it was shifting buttery smooth again. The feeling is like a fresh new oil change, the car just runs almost like new again without hiccups. Needless to say, i am satisfied just like my friend who had a whole new rebuilt transmission done. So now that i have a good and trustworthy mechanic/shop for my transmission work, i am going to be scheduling my BMW 530i and Nissan Titan to have both transmission fluids changed. Peace of mind is often worth more than the journey itself, and preventative maintenance is the way to go for me. But only, if my mechanic is honest and good at what he does. Precision Transmission gets busy. I am almost reluctant to post this review, since it is already hard to find parking the times i've been here. But Yelp has helped me find good merchants (this is how i initially heard about Precision T.), so it is only right that i return the favor.

I went to Precision Transmission with my 1999 Suburban with a 4L80E transmission issue. Henry was…read morevery transparent with what he believed the issue was with the transmission. I dropped the truck off with him and the repairs were exactly what he stated and the issue was resolved. His knowledge saved me the cost of pulling the transmission and transfer case, as the issue was with a module within the transmission. I would definitely recommend Henry and his shop.
