Precision Automotive

I love coming to Precision Automotive for them to take care of my car. It’s not easy to work on an Audi A8L, and it definitely isn’t easy going to the dealer with Audi’s astronomical prices! Some work I can do myself, but I’d rather take it to a professional for more difficult things. This is the only place in town that I would trust with my vehicle with and I am glad that I have been able to give these wonderful people my business over the past few months. Bill and Liz are very warm and welcoming and their shop is very clean. Bill and his guys are true Audi experts in my eyes, and have helped to keep my transporter A8 at 187 000 miles running like new. Their prices are definitely unbeatable anywhere and I will continue to come to them in the near and far future! I recommend them to any VW/​Audi/​Foreign car owner or just any regular car in general. Very honest and caring people! Take care!

Great service. I usually try to do all my repairs myself so if I take my car to the shop I have an idea what is wrong. Bill and his crew handled my issue on my Bmw quickly, efficiently, and at a fair price. When a last minute problem popped up he offered the option of a used part with warranty to get my vehicle done in a day. I will definitely use this shop again for all 3 of my vehicles.

My hubby took our CHEVY Trailblazer here after calling around for quotes. While this shop specializes in European cars, they were willing to work on ours. We worried that they would be the most expensive given their specialty. The exhaust manifold was cracked big time and needed to be replaced. Surprisingly they offered the best quote in the area. They were in constant communication with us on the status of our vehicle. They parked our vehicle inside for the night so no one would break into it, since it had to stay overnight. They even replaced our low beam headlight bulbs bc I had bought them but was having a hard time removing the front grill to change them. When we picked up our vehicle, we noticed that even washed it for me!!! That was so unexpected and kind of them! And the cherry on the top was that the total charge was less than the quote, phew! I highly recommend these guys, I’ll be back for sure.

I broke down on a Saturday night driving on Highway 5 between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The closest city where we could get a rental car to get the family home safe was Bakersfield, so we called AAA and got towed there. Since my Volkswagen Eurovan wasn’t going anywhere until repaired, I needed to find a good shop in Bakersfield that could do the work.
Fortunately, I found Precision Automotive on Unilocal and we dropped the van off in their parking lot that night with a note that I would be back Monday when they opened to get the service started. I left a message and Bill and Liz, the owners, called me twice on Monday morning on my drive back to Bakersfield to make sure they had all the information they needed to get the repair started ASAP.
In addition to the repair, I asked Bill to check for anything else that needed attention. That morning, while I waited, they did a thorough check on all engine components and gave me a comprehensive list of recommendations with a clear breakdown of parts and labor costs. There were no items that I didn’t expect or suspected might not be necessary. I’ve had a few other local mechanics in Los Angeles tell me I needed things which I knew I didn’t. Not Bill. He and his team are first class, honest, open, and happy to spend a moment discussing the repairs and even taking the time to explain how to perform some simpler repairs myself.
All work was done with a high level of quality, in a timely manner, and any minor additional costs were promptly communicated to make sure I approved before they performed the work. When complete, not only was my van running great, but it was looking great as well since they had cleaned both outside and inside the car. Bill helped me return my rental car to the Bakersfield airport (about 30 miles round trip back to his shop) and I was on my way home.
I can’t recommend Precision Automotive enough. If I am ever back in Bakersfield and need anything for my van, I am stopping there. I wish they were located in Los Angeles– I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

This is a fantastic and honest shop. From my first visit the shop has surprised me how professional, experienced and helpful they are. I had a pre-​vehicle inspection done for a used Mini Cooper S. They spotted a few issues with brakes/​rotors to address with the dealer. They even provided me a quote for the service which was less than I have ever been given for any car I’ve ever had. Anyone who knows Mini Coopers, knows these are expensive cars! Luckily, the dealer took care of it, but this shop is now my go to. Already been back for an synthetic oil change and they were kind enough to look over my brakes/​rotors the dealer fixed and give it the okay.
Quit reading this and make an appointment. This shop is fair priced, knowledgeable and run by a local family.

I thought I had finally found a place to bring my car instead of driving all the way to Temecula. I have been highly disappointed by car services, customer service in Bakersfield, CA. All I can do is shake my head. Although my experience was long, drawn out with a last minute needed oil change that lead to more work that was needed I had a pleasant experience. It was welcoming and inviting and family ran which made it better. I had to leave my car for more service and they got me an über home, I was totally excited. They called me back and told me that the originally issue was not the case and they found the problem and I said to handle it. My hours are crazy so I needed time so that my car could get picked up. Well I didn’t get a call for payment and today their service advisor called me and told me I needed to get my car today. I waited for a call for payment yesterday and I got nothing. So telling me I have no choice to get my car today, I am left to say wtf? Bill came on the phone and tried to reason with me. I’m not only at work but I’m trying to think of great now where the hell do I bring my car now? I’m handing stuff at work and trying to tell them to just leave my car with the keys hidden and they tell me theft is high, so my blood is boiling inside. Bill says they will drop the car off into my drive way. I was so shocked. Still mad I didn’t want to accept it but I have no choice knowing so little people here in Bakersfield. So I have to think about my car services but I would say they do go above and beyond.

Bill was upfront and clear about what was wrong with my Mini and how much it would cost. He even prioritized the repairs in relation to my car’s needs. I got a quote, the repairs and they even washed my car and got it back to me within two days. I’ll definitely back for all future maintenance.

I have used several mechanics in the past, and I can say that they are, hands down, the best I’ve ever encountered. Bill will take the time to explain what needs to be done and will do exactly what he promises. When he gives you a quote, THAT is what you will pay. How refreshing. A mechanic who doesn’t try to sell you stuff you don’t need and is happy to have you as a customer. What? Precision Auto should be in all the top lists of places to do business with. Even if I moved out of the state of California, I would ship my car to Precision Auto for service. They are that good. I highly recommend Precision Auto to anyone who wants auto service done right the first time.

I just picked up my car from Precision — it is so wonderful to find a first class automotive shop in Bakersfield. William and Liz, the owners, were extremely professional, kind and honest. I would highly recommend them to everyone needing Automotive repairs! Thank you for your prompt courteous service.

I can’t say enough good things about this establishment. Often times the perception of the automotive industry/​mechanics is that of mistrust. This business had restored my faith. Not only did they properly diagnose my problem for a fair fee but also went to bat for me regarding my certified pre-​owned warranty and got the results I was hoping for. I HIGHLY recommend Bill and Rob and this honest business. They will be our automotive repair shop from now on.
