10 NOV 25: ULTIMATE IN EXPERTISE AND INTEGRITY We have used Precision Motors three times in the past three months and will continue to use ONLY Precision Motors for all of our vehicle maintenance requirements. Our only regret is that we did not find Hector and his phenomenal team years ago when our vehicles were new. As stated in previous reviews, Hector is without a doubt the most professional and honest mechanic I have met in over 55 years of driving. Hector’s expertise and integrity combined with his ability to explain the reasons various maintenance actions are required, both verbally and with photos of your car, provides a thorough understanding not only of vehicle issues, but Hector’s thoughtful and logical “it must make sense” approach and thought process. Price-points are very reasonable, but even more important, we don’t have words strong enough to convey how much trust and confidence we have in Hector and by extension his entire team. From Tara and Greg in the office, to Hector and his team in the maintenance bays, we can’t emphasize strongly enough what absolute pleasurable experiences we have had at Precision Motors. THANK YOU very much, Hector… and your phenomenal team. With ultimate respect and admiration, Don and Anna. 06 NOV 25: INTEGRITY, TRUSTWORTHINESS, HONESTY, and PHENOMINAL WORKMANSHIP are hallmarks of Hector and Precision Motors. As previously noted, Hector is without a doubt the most professional and honest mechanic I have met in over 55 years of driving. His ability to explain the complicated computer-driven inner workings of today's engines and related systems in layman's terms is extraordinary and remarkable. I had total confidence in him within minutes of meeting him. Hector is continuously and totally focused on fixing issues and providing perfectly executed maintenance, not how much money he will be able to make. Hector's expertise is apparent in every facet of auto maintenance and his analytical approach in combination with his sincere, candid, and forthright approach provides not only assurance that he will complete the desired work on your vehicle in a timely manner, but that he also runs a caring, trustworthy, and ultra-professional car repair business, and instills those qualities in all those who work for him. I have counted on Hector multiple times in recent months and will definitely continue to count on ONLY Hector for any future maintenance requirements on my vehicles. THANK YOU, Hector...thank you very much. NICELY DONE, Señor ….and so very much appreciated. 14 SEP 25: Hector is without a doubt the most professional and honest mechanic I have met in over 55 years. His ability to explain the complicated computer-driven inner workings of today's engines in layman's terms was phenomenal. I had total confidence in him within minutes of meeting him. His first recommendation to fix my issue did not include bringing my vehicle to him. i.e....unlike a local car dealership, Hector was totally focused on fixing my problem, not how much he would be able to charge me. Hector's expertise was ultimately needed to solve my issue, but he did it at a mere fraction of the cost compared to what a local dealer had quoted. The issue on my car was self-induced by lack of preventive maintenance, but Hector's expertise and analytical approach made this lesson-learned pricey enough not to forget maintenance in the future, but a heck of a lot less expensive than posed by the dealership. Hector's sincere, candid, and forthright approach provided not only assurance that he runs a caring, trustworthy, and ultra-professional car repair business, but that he instills those qualities in all those who work for him. I will definitely count on Hector for any future maintenance requirements on my vehicles. THANK YOU, Hector...thank you very much. NICELY DONE and very much appreciated.

My #1 go to now. It was for my daughter’s engine. Not only did they check that but Hector and his crew made sure it was 100% to be on the road again. They are friendly family oriented and honest. They have good payment plan application which was great. I give them a million stars. Thank you to Hector his wife and the crew for taking care of my daughter’s car and being patient with me.

Hector is a solid guy and has earned my trust. I brought him a car that was very difficult to diagnose and he stepped right up to the challenge. He was communicative through the whole process, he explained what had to be done and his prices were fair and everything itemized. I hope I won't be needing his services for a while but if I do I will definitely be paying him another visit.

This was my first visit to Precision Motors, and I was helped by Hector, the shop’s manager. I brought my Honda Civic in for a brake inspection (the odometer reads just over 110,000 miles). Hector checked the vehicle right away and walked me through his assessment. He showed me that the brake pads still have plenty of life left, so no replacement was needed. In fact, Hector told me the car is in excellent condition overall. The only issue he found was a leak in the rear shocks, which he recommended replacing. I agreed, and he had the new shocks installed within a couple of hours. The entire experience was fast (in‑and‑out the same day), reasonably priced, and completely honest—Hector clearly explained what truly needed attention and what didn’t. I’ll definitely be returning to Precision Motors for future service.

CHEAPEST IN SAN DIEGO for SMOG. I called over 20 businesses in San Diego and this was the least expensive at $41 including Certificate as their regular price- with no scams, no fine print, no surprise fees and no coupons or groupons needed. They got me in same day without appointment. Ready in 15 minutes. Extremely professional, excellent customer service. They do car repairs too and will keep them in mind for that due to great smog experience.

We arrive in Hot and Sunny Chula Vista with no Air Conditioning. I know hot 🥵 is only how I feel coming from Canada. We needed to get the A/C fixed and only had a small window of time to get it done in. I googled looking for a shop and came across Precision Auto Service. Good reviews, easy to find, drove up and they got us right in, in less than 1 hour we were on the road with nice cool air blowing on us. The price was fair and they did give us a courtesy phone call letting us know our battery was very old and could fail. We had a spare battery with us so didn’t get it replaced but nice they were aware and on it. The shop and yard are very clean, McDonalds was a short walk away where we enjoyed coffee while we waited, walked back and the service was complete. I would recommend this business and Hector for your automotive requirements and services.

I was in vacation with the family when we had a problem with my Yukon's cooling system. I needed to get it fixed before driving all the way back to AZ. Hector and his crew were able to find the issue, fix it, and have me back on the road in time for the family to enjoy an afternoon on the beach to wrap up our last day of vacation. We drove over 6 hours home, through the desert at 106 degrees today and had no issues with the overheating. The AC was blowing the whole time and I didn't have to worry going through the mountains. Oh yeah, the price was also fair for the work that was done and he didn't try to sell me any extras I didn't need. I would recommend Precision Motors to anyone in need of auto repair in the San Diego/Chula Vista area.

Hector, Jenny, and everyone at Precision go out of their way to accommodate me, and I can be difficult. I've never had a bad experience with these people. They always treat me with kindness, consideration, and hardcore respect. Regarding their work and their prices, the work is professionally done and I consistently pay about 20 - 30% less than at other shops around Chula Vista. I highly recommend this shop and its workers.

Outstanding!! I looked online for a shop close by to take my 98 GMC to for diff and trans case service. After reviewing several, Precision had an excellent rating. They got me in quickly because of an opening and did excellent work, pointed out things that need repair in near future and they were honest and good to deal with. Great family run operation. Again... outstanding service!!

I recently found myself in need of good quality mechanic services, and as a result of all the positive reviews I read online, I ended up at Precision Motors Auto Repair. Prior to taking my car to Precision, I had conducted my own non-professional inspection of my car. Once at Precision, my car was thoroughly inspected and I was delighted to hear the "problem" I thought my vehicle had was non existent. I could have easily just left, but as a result of Hector's honesty, I elected to have them perform all of the manufacturer recommended services to my car. I can say without reservation that all of the work performed on my car not only met but exceeded my high expectations. I plan on soon taking my second vehicle in for service. Thank you Hector

These guys collected money to perform work on my car and never did the work. They just kept saying the part was on order and a year went by they refused to return the money or follow up on the request to complete the work

I am relatively new to CA. and was struggling to find a trustworthy, fair and honest independent shop to take my daughter's '95 BMW 740iL in for repairs; specifically, idle was horrible and white smoke was coming out of my tailpipes. Being mechanically inclined, I knew what the possible problems might be but left it to Hector of Precision to diagnose it for me and he gave me some options to consider. Long story short, he had the job done in a day by replacing the rear oil separator valve. He also prepared a short list of relatively urgent items that should be addressed in the near future. Straight shooters! Reasonable rates (not low but not high) Finding a shop to work on a complicated engine like the one in our BMW isn't an easy task and I consider this to be a good fortune in having found Precision Motors. Normally, shops don't have the capacity to complete repairs as quickly as they did and I was prepared to leave the car with them for a week at least. It isn't any wonder when I picked up the car today that there were all makes and models of cars parked in their lot waiting for attention.....from '56 classics to late model imports. All I can say is check them out, tell them exactly what's wrong with your ride and hope for the best but plan on the worse. Mechanics aren't magicians, they can only do estimates based on what is known and what is currently happening to your engine or suspension. There is always the possibility that when work begins, they might find a related or unrelated serious issue that could ruin your day. But be it good news or bad news, I wouldn't want to hear it from anyone else but from Hector or Jenny. I will be taking my other vehicle to them too!
