Dan has serviced my 2000 Dodge truck for years. Dan has had a spare car in the past to use which really helped me out. This service was for my water pump. Terry the mechanic diagn...

Great experience. Dan is awesome. 11/26/2012

Precision Auto has done regular service on my vehicle for a while now. My husband was using a different mechanic and had some engine problems. He took his car in to get a second opinion from Dan, and Dan worked wonders on it. Now my husband has switched to them too. more

Timely service 11/5/2012

Always friendly. Service is quick and accurate. Staff is very helpful and informative. more

They are the only service I use. 10/11/2012

I have nothing but good things to say about Precision. Dan is terrific. I have tried other service dealers in town, this is the one I want to stick with. They are conscientious, they document things very well, and they stay on top of your car. I was very happy with them. more

Extremely conscientious and responsive. 9/10/2012

They have done a lot of different work on 2 or 3 different cars of mine. Everything generally goes very well. Right now they are having a little trouble repairing the air conditioner in my Acura but Dan is doing whatever he can to get it fixed. more

Fabulous, kind and efficient! 9/6/2012

Dan is great! I have found the place to take my car in Santa Barbara. My passenger side was wet. Dan took a look at it and advised me to first make sure that no water bottle had been leaking, because he didn't feel right charging me if there was nothing to fix. A day later, I was sure that my car was wet with water other than a water bottle. I brought it back before work and he stayed late so I could pick up my car after work. He said he was only going to charge me if he found the problem.... and thankfully he did! The drain hose had been disconnected and he and his team fixed it. Dan (the owner) of precision autobody is great, and I am always taking my car to get serviced there from now on!!!! more

Saved me a ton of money 8/27/2012

Went in because my car wouldn't start and expected to have to replace the starter, luckly they were honest and told me that there was just too much carpet under the clutch so the saftey wasn't being pushed in all the way, wasn't charged a dime. more

Great! I trust him when I take a car there. 8/15/2012

I've been going to Precision Auto Service since back to when Ed owned the shop. I had some issues with my car that someone told me was not going to pass smog, and was going to cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars to repair. I took it to Precision at that time and it turned out not to be true, and the car passed smog. I have done most of my own work on cars in the past, I've built cars from the ground up. I'm no stranger to cars, most of the time I know when I'm being lied to. But I've found that Precision are honest. I don't go any place else and I don't talk to any place else. If I can't fix it myself I bring it there. When Dan tells me one of my cars needs something I don't have any questions about it. more

Extremely friendly service. I will definitely return and I will definitely recommend them! 8/7/2012

Precision Auto Service is really wonderful. Dan takes care of my car very promptly and gives me excellent service. All the people working here really get along, you can tell by the way they talk to each other. It's really nice to see them all working together as a team. I have old car that needed a new battery. I was ready to leave the car in the shop overnight, but Dan and his people told me they would do it right away and I was on the road again in no time. They mostly do check-ups for me since I don't drive long distances. It's especially important to me when my granddaughter comes into town that my car is in tip top shape. So I take it to Dan and he understands and we chat a little about our grand-kids. It's really important to me that he cares about his people and his customers. He keeps things moving along so that I don't have to worry. more

Consistent excellent customer service 6/27/2012

Precision pretty much takes care of our three cars exclusively. That is, they have done everything from routine maintenance, to difficult intermittent electronic issues to fun restoration and performance upgrades. They have a wealth of knowledge and connections when a job requires a "network". I have always felt fairly treated and more. Others I have know to go to Precision have the same experience. more

great service, thanks more

Good service all around. 4/17/2012

I felt that I could trust Precision Auto Service, that I was in good hands, and that they took care of me because I don't understand mechanical issues with my car. They made sure that the service provided was clearly stated and that everything was professionally done, and they're prompt with appointments. more

Repeat customer 3/22/2012

Prompt service; detailed info (beforehand) on vehicle needs, costs involved, and repair priorities; thanks Dan for keeping us safe on the road! more

Dan is a nice man, upright and truthful 3/22/2012

I went to Precision Auto Service in the first place to get a smog test done. Dan, the manager, brought to my attention some oil leaks that I was experiencing and told me what would need to be done. I got an estimate with another shop and with Dan, and I felt Dan was giving me a very fair price. Precision Auto Service got the work done within one day so I wasn't without my car for very long. He suggested I bring it in in about 3 weeks to have his mechanic make sure the fix was good for the long haul but I do not have much doubt about that. I don't know much about mechanics, so finding someone I trust is important and that is what I felt at Precision. more

What a tune up! 3/9/2012

As usual Precision provided fast and accurate service for my car and for me. Thanks for the ride. I appreciate that you did a lot of extra checking the parts I haven't remembered to check. I am now the solo car care giver and will need your help in the future. Susan Billig more

Dan and Service 2/1/2012

Dan is a very honest and helpful mechanic. He came in on a SUNDAY to help my son with his car. My son works down in LA, but did not know a good mechanic down there. Dan changed the oil and checked the car. He also told my son things he could do to maintain his car. I really appreciated Dan's time, expertise and the fact that he came in on a Sunday to help my son. THANK YOU!!! more

Coordination 1/23/2012

Dan coordinated my oil change with the smog check by Easy Smog and my car was ready at the time I needed it. more

Excellent service 12/17/2011

I have been going to Precision for 10 years. In all that time the service has been great, the price reasonable, and the car is still running like a top. They go out of their way to make sure things are done right. Highly recommended. more
