I recently had my vehicle serviced here after over a year of frustrating electrical and other issues. I had received steep quotes at two other shops with added unnecessary work. Precision Motorworks quoted me way below the other shops! The owner worked on my vehicle & within a few hours, it was ready & better than I'd imagined. He even rearranged the wiring so it was more safe. I felt so relieved as I drive my children in this vehicle. I'm a very pleased new customer and will be recommending this place! read more

These guys do great work. They are quick and efficient, they have great loaner cars, and Steff is especially great to work with!

I've had good experiences with Precision Motorworks. The guys who work there are super friendly and provide accurate estimates. They're also great about calling to keep you updated on the status of the repair. They specialize in BMWs and Volvos and have done excellent work for me. The location is slightly inconvenient (I'd prefer something more downtown-y). But they provide a free loaner car (albeit a somewhat old, gutless Volvo) or will gladly give you a ride to work, if it's reasonably close. read more

Carl is nice and very helpful. Beamers are expensive cars to maintain. That said, PMW does a good job and gladly offers free loaners. read more

We bought a 2005 Mini Cooper S in Portland over the weekend and had it in the shop Tuesday to have these guys go through it with a fine tooth comb. They were polite, prompt and so kind to me! Josh called me and we went over the list of things that needed to be done, stack ranking them, starting with mission critical. They gave me a loaner and had my car fixed the next day. I picked up my car and Donny the mechanic sat with me and gave me some pointers. He even asked if i wanted to take it for a drive so he could observe if i was riding the clutch (it's a super charged hot rod lol ). I really appreciated how patient, thorough and kind they were. Thanks everyone, we will be back! read more

Would give minus stars if that was possible! We brought my car in last week for Oil Change service and upon picking it up was told that my whole suspension needing to be replaced including Control arms, ball joints, bushing, springs etc. The shop had said that my front suspension was at 80% wear and my rear suspension was at 60% wear. Mind you, my car only has 57000 miles, it does not go four wheeling, it is just a little Audi SUV. The shop said if we get it done all at once they would give us a Military discount and the total would be around $3500. Lots of red flags went up after this. My car runs and drives great, it does not drive like it has any major suspension issues, just some un-even wear on the front tires that are due to be replaced. We went out and got a second and third opinion at suspension shops and were told that there is nothing wrong with our suspension, that it just needed to have an alignment done after we get the tires replaced. Beware! read more

I honestly had a really good experience with precision Motorworks, Im also pretty happy that they were willing to work on my 1984 Mercedes Benz 300D as a lot of shops don't like these old cars. One of my favorite things about them was how easy they are to work with. They are very communicative as well. I will definitely take my car back when it's time for the next maintenance or repair. read more

I went there for my my first time this week and got better work and service than I expected. I called MB of Seattle about an electrical problem and was quoted over $200 for the first hour. I called these folks based on Yelp reviews and they're $120 an hour and fixed my issue within that time. The diagnostics also uncovered another issue that they said could wait until the check engine light comes on and didn't pressure me to fix it immediately. They have plenty of business and a full lot and are happy cranking out the fixes quickly. read more

When you "have a guy" it's gold. This is very true of mechanics. Precision Motor Works are "Our Guys"! Josh and team are thorough, responsible, have deep knowledge and are HONEST!!! It goes without saying that they are also fun and cool. Love them and will take my car no place else!! read more

John was extremely helpful, polite, and informative. Even though the work i needed performed on my BMW was not something he offered, he recommended another company that could, indeed, help me. I will most definitely use Precision Motorworks for any future BMW maintenance. Thank you for help John!!! read more

This was the most professional, courteous and dependable company I've ever done "car" business with. I knew to Seattle and they made me feel extremely welcome and help you in every way they could with my car. I recommend them highly and I'm so very glad that I was recommended to go see them with my Mercedes. I'm very grateful! read more

This place is awesome. Pulling up to the lot, it's packed with cars. I thought it may be a day or two to get my car fixed, but they were finished within a few hours. If I could give them six stars I would. I've taken two Volvos here over the past few years and have no complaints. Always fast and communicative. Plus, the loaner cars are a fantastic perk! Thanks again! read more

I have a 1982 BMW 733i and a lot of shops won't touch it even though its in great condition. But its no problem for PM. Jeff is the technician who takes care of my baby and does a stellar job. Josh works the counter and is always friendly and communicates costs and pick up time honestly and accurately. This is a shop I would recommend to anyone! Thanks Guys!! read more

Since I'm a nurse I depend on my car to get me around to visit my clients, anyways they put me in a loaner car even though I didn't have an appointment with them to listen to my brakes that just started making funny noises when I was coming across the Magnolia bridge. I found a new place now for my car to get some TLC. Thanks Renee read more

What a shop. It's 30 degrees out on a Saturday, and Esteban, the owner of the garage helped me out in a pinch and got me back on the road in under 20 minutes. Couldn't ask for a better experience, and the other staff in the shop were great to chat with as well. Will continue to bring my business here! read more

Went in for oil, battery and a ticking from engine check. Dropped in on Saturday and picked it up on Wednesday. Took more than I thought, although I had a loaner which dint bother me. Battery was replaced and oil changed. Did not reset the oil indicator but was charged $33 on paper. I saw that right away before I moved from the location. I drove the car back home. Took it out after two days and it showed the same symptoms of a low charge battery, which I dint expect after a battery replacement and programming. The car says 'Increased battery discharge', just after two days!! My car dint do that before. Now I suspect if the coding was done but I'm not sure how you could test it. But after driving a little distance it seemed to b normal. Not sure why it did that. Things seems to be OK with it now. This was my experience and they seem to know what they are doing. Pricing is not bad compared to others around. read more

Thorough, knowledgeable and competitively priced.... Don alone LOVES his MINIs and has been a mechanic for over 30 years. Josh is well-spoken, informative and responsive, handling all details throughout the process. The work bay was very well organized and all around these guys have it all down. I wish I had cut the apron strings with the dealership long ago! read more

I wasn't getting an acceptable level of customer service from my previous mechanic so I decided to give these guys a try: boy, what a breath of fresh air! Josh managed to be professional, thorough and friendly at the same time! My Mini Cooper had quite a few maintenance issues to address, but they did a great job of outlining what was needed and prioritizing them to fit my budget. There was one little cosmetic fix on the wheel arch that I had planned to do myself, but I noticed after I picked it up that they just went ahead and fixed it for free; no muss, no fuss! Also, loaner cars! Mine was a bit beat up and didn't have air conditioning, but you really can't complain about free. I'll definitely be back, and if each visit is as good as this they have a customer for life! read more

These guys are hands down one of the better European service centers in the Seattle metro area. I've been a long time Audi owner and have always known this place existed but never approached them for servicing until recently. First impression was this place is dialed in. You know a good service garage when they have every part neatly organized, the service bays kept clean and shelves stocked with parts from if not the OEM, the same or better oem equivalent brands. Throughout the entire time they had my car not once did they over promise and under deliver. They were upfront and honest. Furthermore, I know I am a complete crackpot when it comes to my car, I know this about myself. It's probably annoying to a lot of people. I could talk at a brick wall for an hour about my car and walk away feeling pretty good about what just took place. These guys [at least made me feel like] had a genuine interest in my car and seemed enthusiastic to work on it. I know my B5 inside and out and know they did too. Could I have shopped around and found the labor for a little less expensive? Probably, but having peace of mind knowing the work was done right and won't have to make multiple return trips [**ahem firestone**] for their parts failing makes it all worth it. Anyone who is a German, Nordic or, both car fan and owner is doing themselves a favor by trusting them with your car. read more

Precision Motorworks - Auto Repair Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Josh was friendly. Told me what to look out for on my next appointment. I got no complaints. Will be back here more often now. Having a loaner is huge!! read more

This garage was recommended to me by a couple of friends who I trust. My car was serviced there for a couple of years and I never felt comfortable with the communication from the desk staff. Frankly I had that gut feeling that I was being taken advantage of in the services they suggested, and the cost. There is a pretension there I can't exactly explain. They would say "just bring it in today, we'll take care of it", but sometimes they needed to keep it until the next day even though they had already assessed what the issue was and what was needed as far as parts. On one occasion I needed to have the car towed to them. I asked if they had a preferred tow company. The company they suggested were some of the rudest people I have ever encountered. When I gave them feedback about this referral they didn't seem to care. Several times I waited for hours past the time they suggested the car would be done. One time an oil change took over 4 hours when they said it would be about 2. Prior to Precision I went to Bellevue BMW. Their services cost the same, but they offered complete detailing as part of their service and a loaner pristine car. Precision one time offered me a loaner car that I had to ask for, it was not offered, and the car was extremely dirty. It was just filthy. I've found a new service provider. Their communication is incredible, they deliver when they say they will and their cost is much lower. The cost of an oil change was $100 less, and they used the same oil and provided the same service. It's worth traveling to the Eastside for their service. Clearly I'm an outlier in my experience given other reviews. I do not recommend this service provider. read more

Service was actually good, though prices aren't that much different from a dealer's. Rating would've been higher... If they hadn't used my car to go get lunch. read more

Precision Motorworks recently serviced my relatively high mileage (120,000+) BMW 3 series. The service ended up being significantly more expensive than I was expecting due to various problems that were found (I bought the car used, and don't know its service history), but I believe that everything Precision suggested either needed to be done immediately, or would have needed to be done soon anyway. Pros: I was informed of what should be done right away, and what could theoretically wait. The courtesy loaner car was very convenient, and worked fine. I appreciated that the person working at the service desk asked what sort of insurance coverage I had, and warned that if I didn't have full coverage on top of liability that an accident could prove costly. Since I wasn't sure about the details of my coverage, I was given an older, less costly to replace loaner car. My car was ready right when I expected it, and the squealing / squeaking appears to be gone for good. Precision also replaced a burned out headlight bulb as a courtesy (thank you!). I was asked at the time I dropped off the car how I heard of them, and when I mentioned Yelp, was given a discount (mentioned on their listing on Yelp.com) without needing to ask. Cons: The first time I called Precision Motorworks to get a quote for service, my call was never returned. The next day, the second time I called, I was placed on hold, and then the call hung up while I was holding. The third time I called, I was able to get a quote and make a service appointment. The loaner car (older BMW 523e) needed to be cleaned and vacuumed, but worked fine to get me home and back. Bottom line -- when I need future work done on my car, I'll very likely use Precision Motorworks again. read more

Update: shortly after I had my 60k tune up and a clean bill of health for my car my check engine light came on. I called Precision and they said to immediately bring it in. I did, and they gave me a loaner with no appointment. They kept my car for two days looking for the cause. They found a pinched air intake hose that occured when they were putting back stuff during my tune up. They replaced the hose and didn't charge me ONE cent for the labor and parts. They couldve taken advantage of me 10 different ways, but didn't. Customer for LIFE! read more

I've been to Precision twice now since moving to Seattle and could not be happier. John and his team are very honest and trustworthy mechanics that really seem to love what they do (and you can see it in their work)! Not only were they able to detect the issues with my 06 BMW that others couldn't, but they provided realistic and fair prices that, in my opinion, are better than dealer prices. Their customer service goes above and beyond what I've experienced in the past, and they keep you up to date with their progress along the way. Plus, you can't argue with a free loaner vehicle. I will definitely be coming back here for any future services/repairs. Thanks a ton guys! read more

With 60% of their service hours dedicated to BMWs and 40% to Volvos, there is no time or intention on the part of these specialists to dirty their hands on any other car models...thank goodness. As a result the mechanics at PM have become highly adept at extending the life of their patients (a sick car may as well be referred to as a "patient"); they have assisted my Volvo S60 consistently over the years, which is now nearing 160,000 miles and still driving like it is new (just about). read more

I highly recommend these mechanics. Quick service and attention as my car was worked on and returned to me in the same day. Note: Try to get there early before they get busy as they are in a popular location with many clients. My engine light was on and I was given a poor diagnostics from the local dealership. I am happy to report there are true, honest, hard-working auto mechanics the people of Seattle can trust on doing solid work. Big thanks to Joseph and Josh for sound advice and an excellent job on my LR2! Cheers to you guys. You saved me big-time and I will definitely be back for my next service. read more

This place came highly recommended from a friend who works nearby. He brought in his e92, had his engine wiring harness replaced, and borrowed a nice 5 series from them while they did the work. I brought my e83 X3 in to diagnose a coolant leak and get my transfer case flushed and rear & front differential fluids replaced. As I walked up to the shop I saw a BEAUTIFUL e30 in bright yellow. I began salivating at the prospect of possibly taking that thing home, or, at least, a newer 5 series. Immediately as I entered the building I was greeted by Josh who was the most informational, attentive, polite, and thorough representative I've probably ever met. The level of service he provides is enough to keep me coming back. He quickly got me set up and confident, then asked me if I needed to borrow a loaner car. I began salivating again. He said, "We don't have any BMWs right now. You're going to have to take a Volvo." My heart sank and I contemplating asking for drive the e30. Clearly it wasn't for customers. Overall fantastic experience and a great story I'll remember forever. I definitely plan on going back to get my transmission fluid replaced! Any whatever other procedures I may need! read more

I just had my first experience with Precision with my 2015 Audi All-Road with a headlight replacement. They were half the price of the dealership and their customer service was exceptional. Both Josh and Jason were knowledgeable, polite, efficient and when I brought my car in, Jason was able to fit me in right away and attended to several details on my car without me even asking, included in the service. Additionally, their ride service was very helpful and convenient. They went above and beyond for me and though I never hope to have to bring my car in for repair, I know Precision is a place I can trust when I need it. Thank you! read more

I'm so happy my friend found these guys - the service is the best. Love the guys that work here. I've gone to plenty of places where the mechanics treat me like I don't know anything about cars, but I know enough to know when I'm getting screwed. These guys are honest and the happiest group of mechanics I've ever met. And I have to laugh when I bring my sporty VW in and they give me the soccer mom old volvo - ha! read more

Today I picked up my car from my first visit to these guys. Service was great, they didn't charge me a minimum for diagnosing my problem and really went above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of. They referred me to the dealership for a recall when they could have tried to charge me for the fix themselves. I'm thrilled and now a loyal customer. read more

I dropped in w/o an appointment to get headlight bulbs replaced on my BMW. First time into Precision Motorworks for me. Relatively small job but it was completed in relatively short order, I appreciate that they were able to accommodated the job when I dropped in, and there were no surprises. I'll give them a shot next time I need service. read more

Seems like customer service has gone down since John the owner (?) seems to not be working there as much. I have had minor issues with work here, that have taken weeks to be resolved. The excuse I have heard is "I have to ask the owner and he's not on the office that much". So after hearing this excuse, I now take my BMW to another shop where the owner, and staff are competent to answer questions if they may arise. Precision told me my car has "several oil leaks that are urgent to repair". I went and got two other opinions from Seattle area European car repair shops, and not one of them said there were any oil leaks that were of any concern. That's when I was finally done dealing with Precision. My new place does not offer loaner car services, but much more pleasant to deal with. read more

I would give them negative stars if I could. I was handed the 2002 volvo I currently drive after finishing school. Precision Motorworks took advantage of the fact I was young and unknowledgeable about volvos. For the past two years I've been in Seattle, they put a sticker on my windshield for an oil change at 3 month intervals, which is more frequent than necessary for Volvo's. Additionally, I have taken a broken driver seat handle to them about three times now. Each time, they speak with such confidence that they've permanently fixed it. Four months later, the handle breaks again. Mind you, I only drive my car on the weekends for hikes, if I even go. They are all talk and no show for their fixes and services. I have zero trust for employees here. read more

Honestly these guys did a great job. I screwed up some electrical parts in my 2011 BMW and these guys walked me through the whole process and checked in with me everyday to tell me what they were doing and how much it would cost. I felt like they were very straight forward and honest. Their pricing isn't out of control especially because of the quality of work they do. I will tell all my friends about these guys. Thanks again! read more

I have been taking my BMW's to Precision Motorworks for almost 10 years. I have had older cars (1988 and 1998) and they treat them as if they were brand new. They are nice, friendly and won't charge you for work you don't need; in fact, they tell you what's wrong and if they don't think you need to fix it, they will tell you. Prices are reasonable and they work to find used parts when they can for my older cars. They know what they're doing and obviously have a passion for their work. read more

I have a 2007 BMW. I came to them to inspect the car before I purchased it used, and they've been doing regular maintenance since then. This place is good and they honored my extended third-party warranty. They're not out to sell you whatever service they can, the prices are fair (not cheap, just fair). Never had any problems and driving the old loaner cars around is kind of fun (for a day or two). Their service and prices gets them four stars. BUT, the fact that they don't talk down to me for being an "asshole know-nothing chick" (as another fellow yelper described) is totally true and really appreciated. Therefore, they have earned 5 stars. read more

I switched to Precision Motorworks last fall, and I'm glad I did. They have everything I needed from a convenience standpoint (close to downtown, loaner cars, on a busline), but most important I felt very comfortable throughout the estimate process. When I called to describe the issues, they provided me with estimates based on their past work with a similar make and model. They were proactive in calling me with detailed information about the work needed on my car, and gave me straightforward answers to my questions. When I picked up the car, they walked me through the invoice and gave me recommendations on future work with my car. And, by the way, the standard work (inspection 2) was about 15% less expensive than my previous mechanic. All in all a great experience and I recommend them highly. The work done was on a 98 BMW, but they also work on Volvo and VW. read more

Been coming here for awhile now with my Bimmer, I'm just so glad they added Land Rover's to the list of vehicles they repair and service now. Now I don't have to go across the bridge to Bellevue for just an oil change or ask a question about a strange noise. read more

This was possibly the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I brought my car here in late December to get a simple oil change since my normal mechanic is in Bellingham. When I arrived, the man behind the counter ensured me that they weren't one of those places that would over charge or try to "pull one over on me" (I am a young women so that alone felt like a little weird, I wonder if he would have said that to a man?). A little while after I left I got a text from them saying there were nearly $1,000 worth of repairs needing to be done to the belts. I called my normal volvo mechanic who has serviced the car since we bought it in 2013 and he ensured me that these had recently been replaced and they should not need to be replaced again. I told Precision Motorworks to not do the repairs. Since then I have gotten the car looked at by other mechanics who have said there is nothing wrong with any of the belts. When I arrived to pick up my car from precision motorworks and was reviewing the bill, they had charged me twice and I had to ask for the second charge to be removed from the bill. within three days of leaving the oil light in my car came on again and upon inspection, I discovered that my oil tank had been gauged and needed to be replaced. Due to the inappropriate comment, the double charge, the misleading attempt to get me to spend more on unnecessary replacements, paired with the new damage on my car that coincidentally appeared right after they worked on it, I will not be returning there. Huge waste of money and time. read more
