Tire

They tried to scam me into buying unneeded tires. I went into this Jiffy Lube location for a routine oil change and a tire rotation. The technician told me that my tires were completely bald, refused to rotate them due to their condition, and handed me a printout quote for four new tires costing about $1,500. I knew this didn't sound right because my car only has 17,000 miles on it and is only used for short city commutes to and from work. I decided to wait and took my vehicle straight to my official dealership for a second opinion. The dealership thoroughly inspected them and confirmed my tires are perfectly fine and safe 6/32' , noting that I shouldn't even think about replacing them until around 30,000 to 35,000 miles. This place tried to completely rip me off by taking advantage of me, and I am writing this to warn other people to always get a second opinion before trusting their recommendations. This is at the location on Carrillo and Castillo.

Service said transmission fluid was leaking. Went home and checked. Absolutely no leak. Not honest. Won't be back.

Perfect place to be scammed and an amazing place if you want to pay to talk to rude and condescending people who will not fix the car.

They checked the alignment for free, completed everything else, and had me back on the road in only two hours. I own Bling Em Rim Repair, a San Diego-based mobile wheel-repair business. I've been repairing rims and wheels for 20 years, and I also provide mobile wheel repair in Santa Barbara when I come up on weekends to visit my family. My van is my livelihood--I need it running safely and reliably so I can keep serving my customers. After working with automotive shops for two decades, I can honestly say these guys are among the friendliest, most responsive, and quickest I've dealt with. Great communication, excellent service, and they move with the quickness! If you need brake repair, an oil change, tires, alignment service, or other automotive work in Santa Barbara, check out Big Brand Tire on Milpas. They got my mobile wheel-repair van handled and back to earning. They've earned every one of these five stars!

$80.00 for a standard oil change? No, thank you!…read more After reading the stellar Yelp reviews for Precision Auto Service, I contacted them to schedule a routine oil change for my small pick up truck. Much to my surprise I was quoted $80.00 for the service. I don't know what kind of liquid gold oil they use, but for that price, the service should be accompanied with lunch for two and cocktails to wash down the pain of being over charged for a basic service. The associate I spoke with added, "they check your brakes and stuff too." Ok, can I get a pedicure while I wait as well? All humor aside, $80 seems completely ridiculous for a service that I've never been charged more than $40 for at other establishments in town. If an oil change is that expensive, I can't imagine what they would charge if I actually needed a repair. I'll take my business to a shop offering competitive pricing and great service.

I don't know why this place doesn't have more reviews, because I was floored by the outstanding…read moreservice I got from Dan. I took my beloved '94 Nissan Sentra in for an oil change, an inspection about my Check Engine light and a strange sound I had started hearing, and a general tune-up that I thought I needed after having been told so by a larger chain mechanic. When I arrived, the first thing Dan told me was "Never ask for a 'general tune-up,' because people will try to take advantage of you and charge you for repairs you don't need." I was astonished. A mechanic whose first comment is a warning about how NOT to spend extra money? As a cash-strapped recent college grad, I knew I had come to the right place. Later on, Dan assured me that Precision is in the business of only fixing what actually needs to be fixed, and never charging more than is absolutely necessary. That promise turned out to be true. After two visits (the second because nobody could hear the sound I was concerned about the first time), I had had my oil changed, a full inspection of everything under the hood, my battery cleaned, the Check Engine light problem resolved, and a loose, hanging part under the bumper (which had turned out to be the cause of the unusual sound) fixed, all for less than $130. I easily could have paid that much just for labor if I had gone back to a chain shop. As if that wasn't enough, I had to go to work both days before the repairs were finished, and both times Dan brought the car to me. Suffice it to say, Precision has gained a new loyal customer!
