This place is great. I was visiting from out of town and they made the space to fit me in. They where very through and thoughtful and did everything they could to ensure I was safe and taken care of. Eric was amazing and gracious. I would highly recommend him and this place any day! read more

Hands down the fairest and quickest automotive shop ive run into. Although Brian has left, they still run a great business. They seem to really want to always give you the bare minimum price and truly have your best interest in mind. Have been and as always will be a returning customer. read more

I had the same experience as Bobby D....Poway Accurate Automotive was great and Edith at Poway Smog was a complete liar and totally bashed PAA so she could charge $46 instead of $30 at PAA. Brian and Team at PAA were great..fast and did a complete smog test as quoted for $30. read more

Thank you for taking care of my car. My car had some weird seatbelt problem and it was fixed within the promised time. Customer service was excellent. I'll definitely come back again. read more

Excellent customer service. Eric explained the problems with my car very well where I could understand. The owner, even followed-up with me after I left to see how the car was running! I will definitely be giving them my business again. read more

My Smog test just cost me $30, everything included. That has got to be the best price in town. I also have brought my car in here other times and I really trust Brian.He tells you like it is. So, If your looking for an honest auto shop that has a great mechanic (Ronnie), this is the place to go to. Thanks read more

Just moved here from out of state. Just a smog check requires an appointment. These guys made it work for me. Being on a tight schedule I appreciate it greatly. Easy going, straightforward. The prices they quoted for some routine service when I asked was reasonable. I will be back to get my car serviced as well. Thanks guys! read more

I came at 4:30 for a Smog check and was out of there by 4:45! Super fast and a great deal. Everyone was very friendly...if I ever have car trouble I will be coming back here! read more

They did an excellent job at diagnosing the problem which was tough. The manager took the time to work with us in locating a part that was not being made anymore on a 2000 Ford. We were very pleased at the care and workmanship this business took in completing this job. Recommend this place highly. read more

We have been taking our cars for repair to Poway Precision Auto for many years. We are loyal and happy customers. Dirk and his staff are very fair and attentive to our needs. We have never been disappointed. We have recommended family and friends to Poway Precision Auto and they all have been happy with the service they have received. We give them a 5 star rating. read more

I made an appointment for my car to be smogged. I didn't have to wait at all and was done and out the door in about 20 minutes. The technician, Brian, was very nice and polite. Since I belong to AAA, Brian gave me directions to their office in Poway where I was able to get my renewal sticker right away. It was extremely good service, best price I could find and the facility is very neat, clean and comfortable. R. C. read more

Excellent shop. Courteous, efficient and reasonably priced. They do great work and no hard upsale for extra work. Best price I've found for smog check and certificate. Check their website for coupons. read more

This place is the absolute best! I have had the worst luck with cars, just constant matinence needed. Eric and his mechanics don't nickel and dime you, and they are honest about what needs to be taken care of immediately and what can wait till a later date. We have used them as our family's mechanic for years, and we certainly don't plan on changing any time soon. If you want a good mechanic who is upfront about what your car needs, go to precision. read more

I came in with a specific problem and instead of treating me like a silly woman that doesn't know cars, they had a diagnosis that agreed with my initial assessment. I have a cranky old car and was fully expecting a bunch of additional "must fix now"s , but that was not the case. My part was discontinued and they went the extra mile to try to track down my part, and ultimately fabricating it. The final price was way below what I expected and the customer service was awesome. Thank you Dirk and Randy - I will definitely come back. - Kelley Hattox read more

Idk why everyone's giving 5 star reviews. Took my car in for an oil change and the very next day my wire to one of my cylinders was clipped. Like a clean cut. Check engine light when on as it was only running on 7 cylinders. This was a 2017 charger rt with less than 30,000 miles. Anyways come back one guy tells me (from my pics) that obviously someone tampered with it. The owner manager comes out shoos him away. And then takes me to my car to show me "rat chewed" wires. Now it looked worse than before and they legit tried to make it look like an animal bit. This place is such a joke. They fried my ECU. I told dodge about it and felt so bad for me (I was in tears) showed the before pics of the clean cut and they after pics of when they tampered with it more. The dealer was dumbfounded and god protected me and he covered it under warranty. ECU was a 2,000 dollar part with out the wiring harness. Also dodge said the wiring harness they tried to fix was what fried my ECU. Drive the car there but had to tow it dodge. Worst place ever glad the other place shut down. Well deserved and it's something callled karma. RUN AWAY read more

Always an honest assessment, as well as fair prices. I was so happy to find a auto shop that doesn't take advantage of it's customers!

Accurate Automotive is an unobtrusive rare find tucked away behind a U-haul store of all things. I discovered Accurate though an internet search to find a shop to diagnose a suspected head gasket leak. Their diagnosis was thorough and confirmed my fears. Previously, I had taken my vehicle to a well know LA tuner that was more than happy to optimize vehicle performance but never thought to check for fundamental issues - like a failed head gasket! I had previously researched San Diego performance shops and found most were happy to bolt on parts and apply a "canned" tune from some distant provider. However, most are hesitant or incapable of engine disassembly and repair. I researched reviews of Accurate Automotive, asked around and found a host of satisfied customers - so I took a chance and entrusted my vehicle to them. The head and block were inspected in detail. A burnt exhaust valve was discovered and valve seat re-machined. Head and block deck fortunately were fine. Accurate further discovered and repaired a leaking oil line and faulty turbo fitting. The work was conscientious and performed correctly and at reasonable cost. The vehicle has not run this good for some time now. They have since become my go to shop if I want work done correctly and fairly. read more

I visited Poway's Precision Automotive for an emissions smog test. Even though no indicator lights were on inside the car dashboard, the shop threatened to fail my car if I did not buy a $20 gas cap immediately. read more

Brian & his crew at Poway Accurate Automotive rock!! My 2002 Acura RSX was very poorly aligned before I took it in. Now my car drives straight as an arrow!! Everything was done in a timely manner and Brian treats his customers well! No bs, no drama. If you need work done on your car I highly recommend taking your car here!!! read more

I needed a smog check and found a coupon for this company, so decided to give them a try. Didn't have an appointment, but decided to wait and it didn't take long. I was very pleased with this shop. Pleasant, honest, and efficient. Will definitely return not only for a smog check, but for other services as well. read more

I went in for a routine oil change.I was then told I needed a new rear main oil seal $$$ and urged to leave it with them cause the leak would get worse and the engine would blow. I didn't have the money (luckily) and was worried for weeks.I then took it to a "fast oil change" type place for an oil change thinking it would prolong my main seal problem.They told me the seal was fine but the oil pan drain plug needed replacing($25).They wiped off the underside of the car so any leaking would be easy to spot .I went back to the oil change place a week later so they could look underneath for me. And there were no leaks.And now 6,000 miles later - NO SEAL LEAK (there never was).That's my experience with PRECISION TUNE POWAY.Thank goodness I didn't have the money they wanted.Ive never been so happy to have been broke.So if you go there I STRONGLY recommend a second opinion on any repairs they say you need. read more

I heard so many negative comments about Perry Ford that I looked online and called Poway Accurate Automotive. Jimmy Norman answered the phone with a friendly " how can I help you"... I didn't know if he was a manager or other employee, but he treated me great. I have a Ford F350 diesel, I was worried because my power steering wasn't responding and my breaks were making a whining sound, I also had two warning lights showing. Jimmy told me bring it in, it won't cost you anything for us to check. True to his word, they checked and found easy fixes, did a complete brake check and found I had about 40 % brake pad left which left me a few months to decide my financial options... A package deal better than any I've found so far. Yes, Poway Accurate Automotive will be getting my business...my job gives me a lot of experience investigating truth...Jimmy Norman and this business are the real truth... read more

I think this is the FIRST time ever that I have walked into an auto shop and didn't feel like I was being ripped off!!! I can't say enough about the owner Dirk, the Manager Jay ... Even the guys working on my car! You can see these guys really know what they are talking about!! They are trustworthy and honest!! (and that's hard to find these days!!) The last time I was at Precision Tune I didn't really understanding what was wrong with my car ... so Mike (the guy working on it) had me come in the shop so that he could show me the problem. Now that is customer service!! I take all my business here and always will ... I recommend you do too!! read more

I absolutely HATE taking my car in for any work, almost as much as I hate going to a dentist! My air conditioner went out on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that was 7 months past the 36 month warranty but 12,000 miles under the 36,000 limit. So I took it into the local dealer I bought it from on a Friday and was told he would not have a tech available to look at it until the following Monday so I had no choice but to make an appointment then. I drove up the street to PPA and spoke to Dirk (the owner). They took it in immediately and called me later with the problem. It seems I had a leak in the evaporator and they could do the necessary work for me right away. Another immediate problem I was having was that I had family visiting from out of town and I had loaned my other car to them. Dirk made arrangements for a rental car for me while they were working on my Jeep. On top of all that my guests were leaving town on Sunday and my wife was leaving town early Monday morning so I was all messed up. Dirk called me on Monday and said the job was completed and ready for pickup. I was very pleased at that as the dealer I originally went to wasn't going to look at it until that day. I just needed to get my son to provide a ride to PPA for the pick up. Then Dirk offered to send one of his guys to give me a ride. I have NEVER had this type of EXCEPTIONAL service from ANY auto dealership or service agency. I will be taking my car problems to PPA in the future. This is how a business should be run. Thanks Dirk read more

Poway precision auto has been extremely helpful in maintaining my 88-year-old mother's car. Always helpful and easy to work with. Very trustworthy and dependable. read more

Beware of bringing your vehicles at Smog stations that has a repair shop. I recently brought my 1994 Honda Civic in this shop for an oil change from a Groupon and decided to do a smog, as well. The owner called me and said my car failed the smog test and I should come in so we can discuss options.They said my car overheats and needs a brand new radiator. They even offered my next smog free after paying $50 for smog if I choose to have it fixed in their shop. I refused and said I have a mechanic. I was skeptical and brought my car two buildings down to Poway Smog Station, an establishment that does nothing but smog checks. SURE ENOUGH MY CAR SMOG CHECK THE SECOND TIME AROUND PASSED. Lesson for the day: Never ever bring your car in a smog station that has a car repair facility as well. After this incident, I will never bring my car in this place coz I do not trust any of their business dealings. It was my first time to use this station and I will not bring my business here again. Be forewarned. read more

My car had stalled on me in the middle of the road while driving and I called Triple A to have it towed to an authorized repair shop and they had me go to PPA. Where Eric the manager quickly came outside and assisted with helping get the vehicle off the tow since it would not go into neutral and trying to discover what the issue could have been. I left my vehicle with Eric and his team for a day and they were immediately able to come back to me with some answers on my Alfa Romeo even though they had never really worked on any before they managed to shed light on what the problem was and some other faulty work that was done by Mossy Alfa Romeo and pointed me in the right direction as to getting my repairs. These guys are a very family oriented business and they welcomed me and my family with open hands and provided us with quality customer service. Thanks again Eric! Very Recommend I will be bringing my other vehicles here for any future repairs . read more

I took my car here a month ago and I was pleased with the service it took the couple of hours they had left in the day and overnight but only because it was spur of the moment for me since my vehicle was dying at every stop and had lack of power for the whole drive there. I had a misfire on my car and they fixed it. To me the prices felt a little steep but then again I've very hesitant when it comes to spending money so. But one thing i didn't really like was that they seperated my Catalytic converter from the pipe that leads to the muffler on my exhaust in order to diagnose if it was my cat. Hammered it back together after saying it was ok, and now when I drive there is a rattling from my catalytic converter. 9might be the shield? but i've not had the time nor money to go back and get it fixed.) replacing a cat costs 300 bucks alone for the part. btw, I failed smog today at a different shop. They blamed my "ratty cat". The owners are really cool though. They were punctual about calling me when they said they would to ask me if I could authorized work that had to be done. They're good guys, I used this branch in Virginia! read more

I came here to have my A/C fixed. I called and was told I could bring my car right in. The job was done quickly (3hrs for A/C, oil change, and alignment) and they have great customer service. There are places to eat or shop while waiting that are within walking distance. Overall, I had a good experience. read more

This place is beyond expectation. They treat you like a family, they treat your car like their own. My Benz is always safe here and I save a lot of money. I used to think car repair must to be done at dealer but after I got tricked by dealer few times and spent so much money, no more going to dealer. Ronnie is a great technician and I recommend this place to anyone with 10 stars :) read more

Came in to check my alignment. Service and staff was perfect and honest. I will definitely come back to this shop for future services.

All the other reviews on here pretty much sums up this business. Brian is as honest and reliable as they come. My wife's 240-SX needed a new air-conditioning unit that we had Brian and crew put in late last year. Well, it worked for awhile, but then nothing but hot air was blowing out into the cabin. Came in and found out that the seals had somehow come loose so it was fixed, what, 5 months later... all well and COLD now in the car. We bring our other car here, too. Wouldn't trust anyone else!!! You will not be sorry for taking your vehicles to Brian to get fixed. read more

I needed a smog check. They had an awesome coupon deal, got me in the same day and had the car tested and done in about 25 minutes. Best experience ever. I will be be using them again. read more

I took my Tiguan in for an alignment today. Friendly people, quick service. I highly recommend.

Been there a couple time for service and they do a great job. Seem to be very honest on what they can/cannot do. Would recommend to a friend. read more

Referred by Discount Tire, reasonable price for Alignment, $60 if you go through discount tire otherwise $80. Brian is Manager there, always go with appointment, it takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Go for it. read more

Eric is amazing! He is your go to guy when it comes to a honest, reliable, genuine car mechanic. He articulates your car problems in a way you can understand and delivers quality car repairs for the best value around. Go see him and you won't ever need to look for another car mechanic in this area. read more

Brian is wonderful & personable! He took care of both my daughter's first cars (used). Two naïve young women & their mom, like feeling they can trust a car mechanic not to take advantage! read more

Because of the great reviews, I decided to pay a visit to this repair shop. Unfortunately, I was BEYOND disappointed. It all started in March when my car needed repairs on a check engine light because I needed to pass smog. They took the car in and started to get us a diagnosis (free of charge) but began making repairs without our authorization, thereby robbing us of upwards of $300. Fine, we dealt with that but with much annoyance as they did not fix the issue, they only hid it. So it was to my amazement that we failed smog FIVE TIMES. Hoping to get some sort of a fix we brought the car in for a diagnosis to see if they could fix the problem. The guy at the counter refused to take responsibility for their botched repair and tried to rob us of $150 just for a diagnosis because it was a "failed smog diagnosis" which, by the way, was the same diagnosis we asked for earlier that was free of charge. I will never return and I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone who wishes to have a quality repair with customer satisfaction. read more

Very good service. When you talk to Brian you'll get a trustworthy and honest assessment of your vehicle, not a sales pitch. In my recent 100K mile checkup he pointed out three things that could be serviced, but he helped me make a decision on what should be done now and what could wait, regardless of price. I'll definately be back for repeat services for both my vehicles. These guys have it figured out. read more
