This business is criminal. DO NOT take your vehicle here. My SUV has been at another shop for a week getting all the repairs fixed that Precision screwed up worse. Spent over 2k to have my vehicle returned in worst shape. I honestly dont believe their mechanics are compentent in their job and integrity is a huge problem here. read more

Very good service. Very poor work. I paid over 4,000.00 and I took it home with even more problems. I don't recommend it. There was a very good previous owner; it's a shame he retired. read more

I just took my 2018 Cadillac ATS in for engine light and maintenance and always fearful going to a new shop. I highly recommend Precision! pricing was reasonable and Gonzalo (office) was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. I definitely will continue using the shop for future needs! read more

I should've paid attention to the 3.5 review... These guys charged $600 to basically tell me I need to spend $800 on a fusebox they get for $375 from Chevy LOL Glad I took my truck home and had mechanic do it on the side. They leave notes open ended to charge more or make up "other issues" Would NOT recommend to anyone straight Clowns! Gonzalo lied about my fusebox and said it wasn't pulled, but mechanic def pulled it. DO NOT TRUST!!! read more

I used these guys for 7 years and I wish I didn't.Like most people I am not mechanically inclined in any way so i put my trust in someone thinking they won't try to get over on you.After reading some of the other reviews on here it seems they have been over charging a lot of people for a while.If you use this place please get a second opinion. read more

I found a coupon very easily on their old website. However their new website is a bear. It's hard to navigate. With the coupon it was a reasonable price. read more

Thank you, Precision Auto Service for saving me over $900! 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. read more

Precision Automotive Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Sacramento, California

Talk about a HUGE ripoff. I KNEW I should not have trusted his quote. He charged me around $1,100 for a radiator replacement for my 2007 Nissan 350z. He told me he needed to "use special Japanese radiator fluid". This was before I started to get into cars more and learn how to replace my own things. Keep in mind, OEM radiators for the Z is roughly $137, however, he most likely receives discounts on product. Coolant is roughly $31, so around $62 for the two gallons (if needed). That's roughly $200 for just the parts. You're telling me I had to pay $900 for labor? No thanks. They were nice, but they're definitely trying to take your money out of your pockets into theirs. read more

All I will say is they are the best and very talented and professional and I would recommend them period

I've been going to Precision Automotive for almost 15 years. Rick has been such a pleasure to work with. Love the service & they don't try to upsell you a repair that you will need, but not necessarily right away. I have a 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 & it runs great....thanks to Precision Automotive.. read more

Did great work the first time I came in and the second time they remembered me and squeezed me in to accommodate my schedule; you just don't get this type of service anymore. Thanks again Scott! read more

Do not bring your car there these guys are the biggest rip-off artist I was referred to them by AAA they diagnose my car they thought they found the problem I took it back in 2 days they charged me again, the diagnostic first time was $178 when I came back because the car was not working they charge me another $148 the total bill came out to be over a $700 for a $15 item I was referred to them by AAA they said that they would give me 10% off the price but they only gave me 10% off the labor I would never refer anyone to this place watch your wallet because they are out to get you read more

I have a 2001 Ford Explorer with over 370K, owned since new. It has changed hands from me, to my older son, to now my younger teen son. For the most part I tend to do my own automotive repairs, but currently I'm working up in Seattle while my family is back in Sacramento. As such, I am not in town and ready to repair things needing fixing. The other day my son let me know the A/C had stopped blowing cold. Without being home, there was very little I could do and as such needed to find a shop I could trust, who would take care of my teen with professionalism and respectful. I used Yelp as the resource to see who out there has strong reviews, and selected Precision based on the favorable feedback. I am so pleased I found them. They treated my 17 year old respectfully with utmost professionalism and called me to fill me in on all the details. Their evaluation was thorough, well explained and detail oriented. I understood (and trusted) the repairs needing to be made and would not hesitate to have any future required repairs performed by the guys at Precision. When you are away from family and can't help when needed, it's a total relief to have a shop full of knowledgeable professionals who you can feel secure in sending your work to. Thanks Precision! read more

-Worked hard to cover a lot of maintenance in a short time, including some unexpected hiccups. -Called and texted me throughout the process to keep me updated. -My truck had been in storage for 4 years while I was overseas. They put it back in good working order and now I am confident that my family will be safe for the road. read more

Rick and his team have taken care of many vehicles for my husbands family. When I married into the family it was only right to marry into Precision Automotive as well!!! I wouldnt divorce them for anything! Hahaha... Now that I have a mobile grooming business, of course the only place to take it is PRECISION AUTOMOTIVE!!!! No doubt about it. Their honest, their friendly and have great customers service and the skilled work to back it up!!!! Dont go anywhere else...you are looking at your place to go!!!! Call today!!!! read more

Far from honest. This place is the epitome of shady mechanics. Not only were they trying to charge me for services I specifically told them I don't want, but now they are trying to hold my vehicle hostage. After I dropped it off, they told me they could not do ANYTHING because the battery is dead. I need to pay $265 for a new battery and $65 for them to install it. When I came to pick up my vehicle, they are now trying to say that they did work on it and they will not release it unless I pay them. After they told me they could not do anything until I bought a battery from them. This place ought to be shut down! They are the reason auto mechanics have a bad name. read more

I just moved here and drove cross country to relocate. My car needed a repair so I googled auto repair from my new home address and this site was listed. I am so lucky and happy that I found this place!!! Superior and excellent quality services. They are trust worthy and honest and I I will definitely become a regular customer. You answer to a person, with a name, when you call the shop rather than the annoying, automated voices associated with dealership service centers I've also called in this area. It was a wonderful experience and I will highly recommend this shop to anyone in need of car services. read more

Glad I found this place! They do great work and are good people! Rick is an honest professional that is an expert at what he does! He and his crew are great! read more

Precision Automotive Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Sacramento, California

1st, let me say that the owner Rick, is very amiable. However, like most shops today, they do not work on vehicles older then 2000. It seems today's mechanics are computer machine mechanics, not real knowledgeable mechanics like yesteryear. They need to get their hands dirty every now and then to remember what a real mechanic does. 2 stars for nice. read more

Honestly, this was the best experience I've had getting a car repaired ever. Rick and Scott were really wonderful to talk to. Scott explained what was going on with my car very clearly and in great detail. All my questions were answered. They showed a high level of respect, knowledge, and ability. I'm really happy that we started coming here! read more

While I can't write a review based solely on workmanship I can certainly write a shining review on Precision's professionalism, integrity, experience, and honesty. Rare qualities in a business these days... I left the bay area in the early AM on a Friday morning to start my road trip up the west coast heading to Vancouver, BC! Much to my dismay, my check engine light came on for the first time ever that very morning. With 900+ miles to drive and close to 2000 mile round trip I was unsure if I should continue on with my planned journey. Luckily I had a warranty through my car company but the several locations I called at 7:00am were unable to help me because of busy schedules or would have me wait around for several hours, if they could help at all. All I needed was a quick diagnostic to let me know was going on... if I should head home or not. I was able to reach a few companies that could get me in, but for a $100 or $150 charge and a couple hour wait. I called Precision Automotive Service and Rick Norton answered... he told me they were pretty booked up but he'd take a quick look right then and let me know what was going on. I headed over there quickly... He ran the diagnostic and explained I had a piston misfire. He explained the best and worst case scenarios very clearly and said he'd clear it out if I preferred, but not without a word of caution. Took the clear out and I tried to offer him some money and he refused, explaining he was happy to help us get on the road again. I was perplexed... the guy went out of his way to simply help me out. Based on this professionalism alone, I would highly recommend these guys to anyone! Not only that, Rick's advice was correct.. I had no more issues on the road trip up and back down and none since. I wish these guys were closer to me, I'd take my car in for repairs and maintenance in a heart-beat! Look no further for great service and experience in the auto-world. read more

Outstanding Service, amazingly knowledgeable ownership ( Rick and Scott). I had a timing belt issue with my 03 Chevy Diesel recently, Precision took my truck in right away, when other shops where at least 2 weeks out. Rick is very informative and knowledgeable about my year and make. He and his team where able to fix my problem and then some, after a few more recommendations about my truck , I was very satisfied with the end result. I have been searching for a great diesel mechanic for some time now, Precision has my business from now on. There no reason to take it to a dealer anymore. Precision Automotive is hands down best car service experience I have ever received. Thank you so much Precision Automotive. read more

David K. Is a moron. He is a disgruntled person about EVERYTHING ON THIS EARTH! He has NEVER had service performed by this business. He is attacking this business with no real (possibly imagined) life experiences with this business. Precision Automotive has performed time and time again for myself and many of my friends and family. Shame on you David K. Go crawl under a rock. read more

Outstanding customer service, the entire team at Precision is so friendly and welcoming. Most importantly, they are incredibly knowledgeable, upfront, and honest. I have tried various shops around town and have always had some doubt regarding diagnosis and repairs. I brought my car into Precision Auto Repair after having a disappointing experience at another shop. Precision is the first shop that I have ever left feeling confident about. This is due to the thorough explanations they provide every step of the way. For those of us who don't know the complete in and outs of cars, we're at the mercy of the people we choose to fix and service our vehicles and it's a nice feeling to be able to trust the team at Precision Auto Repair. read more

When I got to this joint I was greeted by Rick and Lindsay and taken care of from start with friendly, honest, wholesome care and concern. The tech guy nailed down the problem with a quickness and Lindsay was a pleasure to get information from. I am totally grateful and wish that this shop was in my hometown, I almost would rather make the trip to Sac then use a local from my own area! I don't understand the overpricing comments. Definently not over the top prices, just legit care prices. read more

My car was overheating and I brought it into this shop having never been there before. After charging me a rather high $150 diagnostic fee and told me I needed a new water pump and a lot of other "plastic parts" that just also happened to be leaking radiator fluid. The estimate was $2,100. They also recommended new transmission fluid when I had recently had it changed. They wanted to charge me an additional $60 because they checked the freon level in my AC which I refused to pay. I took the car to another garage and they replaced the water pump for $600 and that was all it needed. 3 months later the car is still running fine. I dodged a bullet. read more

My daughters car was not running good...thought it was the transmission..so I looked up best auto mechanic,.. precision auto came up with best reviews..made an appointment...so long story short,..5 motor mounts snapped in half..im thinking 3,000 at most...they come back with 1,200 and that included inspection, oil change and brake light fix,..TOTAL...great, friendly, honest service..and not to mention the full inspection with detail and photos to show what was wrong with the car..they fixed the motor mounts, oil change, license plate light, brake light..checked other auto mechanic...and precision auto had won for all auto repairs wither it be oil, tire or any mechanical need..thanks Rick. read more

A nice and professional shop which does the work on time and stands behind their work with an extensive work guarantee.

Took my car there to get an estimate on a brake job, rear brakes. Estimate said rotors needed replaced, along with new calipers. Total rear brake job, a grand! Really? I don't think so. Took car to another shop for second opinion, doesn't need new rotors or calipers, rotors can be turned, calipers are fine. Brake pads yes. The cost, less than half than what the original shop quoted me! read more

These guys are way OVER PRICED! Took our cars here for basic maintenance work a few times and each time we always ended up paying way more than they initially quoted us. Recently we came in and they told us we needed a repair that was gonna cost us over $3,700!!! Took it somewhere else for a 2nd opinion and turns out we don't even need that pricy repair! Will not be taking our cars here anymore. I would not recommend these guys to ANYONE!! read more

Not recommended. My female friend had a drivers side window stop working. After learning the total cost of repair she asked me to accompany her to pick up the vehicle. She knows little about cars and felt like she needed help communicating with the mechanics. I was shocked to see a total asking $500 to replace a window regulator. When confronted about the high price, the staff at precision automotive service asked what my relationship is to the customer. I thought this was a strange question because it's nobodies business and should make no difference. I was simply concerned with my friend being over charged. I was then asked what I am basing my claim on. I had my window replaced on a 2007 Lexus rx400h at the Lexus dealership and didn't pay as much. The staff member explained that all cars repairs are different but I can't accept that a 2000 Honda window regulator costs more to repair than a 2007 Lexus at the dealership. The staff assured me that the parts and labor are warrantied and things like that. I'm sure the work was done well and this is prob a very decent shop it you don't mind spending way more than you have to. We let the shop know that we would share our review with the yelp community and they agreed that people deserve to read an honest review. So in conclusion, the shop would not budge on price. The customer would not have agreed to make the repairs had she known she was being over charged. $277 was charged for a window regulator (same eom honda part was found online for $79) and the total for labor was $209. The receipt did not show the hourly rate or the time spent on the repair. Just a total for labor. They also gave us 3 pages of recommendations from their "courtesy inspection". I believe most of the "labor time" for the repair of the window was spent looking for more things to fix. If you're on a budget I would not recommend this shop. If you're looking for a positive experience and good customer service I would absolutely not recommend this shop. It doesn't feel good to be ripped off. It really doesn't feel good to not be heard as a customer. There's no arguing that the price they charged was way unreasonable and any good business would understand there's more profit in ensuring customer satisfaction than there is in ripping people off and having them voice their experience on the internet. read more

Way over priced!! I went here to have my car looked at they charged me $160 for an inspection. They then listed off like $3,000 worth of fixes. Somehow when they were messing with my car they broke the drivers side keyless lock, I didn't realize his until I got home. My cars not super old, but needed a tune up. I left and took my car to the dealership a lot of the things they pointed out were wrong and some of them were known recalls that I got fixed for free. I got all new tires, full tune up, oil change, belts changed, my recalls fixed and the locks fixed for around $600. I recommend going to your dealership first before having to deal with people that know nothing about your particular car and have no clue about any recalls your car might have, they just want the most money they can have I mean really, the diagnostic fee was insane, it's just a car. read more

Awesome service and very friendly staff! I was very happy with my first visit. Car runs great! I will definately make this my main car service and repair shop! I recommend it to anyone needing car repairs. read more

Go see these guys if u like good customer service. Had an appointment for the morning, car broke down this evening. Rick ( on his Friday no less) stayed open to receive my car tonight to save the hassle of towing twice. Ill post another review once my car is fixed, but on first impression, couldn't have went better! read more

Glad I found this place. This will definitely be my go-to shop from now on. Nice and friendly staff. Reasonable prices.

I always remember the old adage you get what you pay for once you find an auto repair shop that does a great job it doesn't matter what the cost is peace of mind you cannot put a price on I've been going to precision auto for three times now and every time I go I'm greeted by Rick or Scott by my first name and they know my vehicle and the service record every repair is done on time and absolutely excellent if you're looking for a good auto repair shop that treat you fair does excellent service and will even call you back and find out how your vehicle is running after the repair I suggest that you go to precision auto I found one that is right for me and I know that it would be right for you to expecially if you need your vehicle repaired and have the satisfaction of knowing that once it's repaired you will not have to take it back with the same service read more

Rick and the folks here are amazing. True customer service!! They go above and beyond to make sure my car is working great. So nice to find a mechanic that I can really trust and not feel like they are making things up to charge me for. As a woman it's nice to know they are trustworthy. read more

Excellent customer service. They take detailed photos so you know and feel comfortable about their recommendations.

My pickup didn't pass the smog test. Took it Precision Automotive Service to get it repaired. Got it to pass the smog test, but now it runs worse than it has ever run before!! I got reamed for over $6700! I took it back and explained, but they just said that's how the engine is. I was basically ignored. My pickup will never be the same. Although I'm sure people are satisfied with their service, I will never go back and never recommend this place to anyone. In fact, I will tell people of my negative experience and discourage people from going to this repair shop. read more

Precision automotive, specifically Lindsey, was the one and only bright light in the 3 month long nightmare we just went through with a truck we recently bought. Lindsey went above and beyond to try to help us out, even arguing with the third parties involved, on our behalf. After dealing with so many different terrible people it was beyond comforting to finally find someone who we felt we could trust, and who communicated extremely well. After 3 failed used engines we finally landed at precision and they were able to get us back on the road as painlessly as possible. Their rate may be a little higher than some other places but you truly do get what you pay for here. We will definitely be returning customers! read more
