Precision Tune Auto Care is the only place I bring my vehicle to when I get the dreaded DMV smog test/certification letter.The cost is reasonable and the customer service is friendly. You can call ahead and get a rough estimate of costs/turnaround. I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience with ANY of the employees here.When I do get my vehicle smogged, I can drop it off and walk to the many stores that are walking distance from this shop. But honestly by the time you get to Target or Chick-fil-A, you can expect a phone call telling you that your vehicle is ready to be picked up!The shop doesn't look like much but it's definitely a diamond in the rough waiting to be discovered.

They got me in and out for an oil change and tire rotation, less than half hour, I may have gotten lucky going on labor day weekend, but good service without the arm and leg charges.

These guys at the Santa Clara location are the most honest mechanics I have been to in the Bay Area. Tony is a gem!! I've been going here for a decade and persuaded my sister and brother to go here too. They are the best! Also, I've taken older cars and new cars here - the great service is always consistent.Services: Transmission, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil changeServices: Transmission, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil change

Fast and friendly service. Prices are competitive especially if you can find a coupon. Would have been even better if they wore gloves during this pandemic. I would not mind paying 25 cents extra for the cost of their gloves.

Charged me $140 to smog my Jeep because it's a 1991. When I tried to smog my 90s Miata here a year or so ago it was the same story. Other places can smog 90s cars for 90 bucks. They also seemed to imply that they couldn't smog it at all. I had to push them to even do it since I was under a time constraint. A very poor experience. I hate to leave bad reviews but this place left a bad taste in my mouth.

Caught them in a lie!I arrived at 11am on Sunday 9/29/13 for a 90k service on my vehicle (called first to arrange it). At almost 5p they said my car was done. I was at the shop for MOST of the service and was skeptical as to what was done, as the shop was quite busy and I didn't see 6 hours of work done on my vehicle.I had known that my brakes were bad going into the service (as they have been for more than a year). When I asked, "how are my brakes" at the time of checkout, I was told, "they look good". At that point I told them I knew they hadn't checked them, a service included in their 90k Maintenance Schedule .After a lot of excuses from Precision Tunes staff, including an offer to give me $30 off when I wanted to get my brakes done, they submitted to refunding me $50 of the more than $500 I was charged.When I arrived home I checked their Maintenance Schedule to find that spark plugs were to be replaced as part of the service. I, however, was charged an additional $99.80 for them. To be fair, it does mention that platinum plugs are extra however, at no point was I asked, or did I consent to getting platinum spark plugs.At this point, I don t know exactly which services were and weren t done. Needless to say, I m pretty upset.I m checking to see how/where I go about finding somebody/someplace that can verify ANY of the service that was supposed to be done.I d like to give these guys some credit, as they were very busy and there were only 2 to 3 of them throughout the day. However, hard work is one thing and honesty is another. Until they get the honesty part down, I d steer clear of Precision Tune Auto Care.

I have been using this shop for a while mostly for oil change, brakes etc. Recently had power steering pump replaced at very good price. No issues so far. Good Service.updated 7/28/17 It's been a while since I used precision tune Santa Clara. Need to get some repairs done recently-timing belt, water pump and others on my old lexus GS300. Tried few places but finally decided to have it done at precision tune. No hassle, got ride back to work. Car was done same day.

Tony takes care of his customers. Had a smog check done in less than 30 minutes even with a few cars ahead of mine. I've been a regular customer for several years now. This is my go-to place for a smog check. Keep up the good work and thank you!

I went today in the morning to get an oil change and the owner was great! He was honest and friendly but overall the service was fast. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE I will come again for any future service on my car.

On the phone they said different price. Tried to charge me $10 more upfront. If you do inspections for your lights they will charge you $20 for small 50 cents bulb

My brakes started squealing, so I went in to get the pads replaced, but the guy did a quick check and told me it wasn t my pads, then gave me a few things to look for when driving, and told me a couple ways I could get the most likely problem fixed most economically if I wanted to later. Friendly, knowledgeable, AND honest! Very pleased with this shop!

Last year my old VW wouldn't pass smog. Another place wanted to do lots of expensive repairs. These guys cleaned out my oil system and added a good quality oil and cleaned out the engine for me. Passed like a charm.

Very friendly, fast, and courteous service. Went in for an oil change and brake pad replacement and discovered that I needed new rotars as well. Job was done in less than two hours which I appreciated. Will definitely go back.

The stereotype of a mechanic trying to rip you off is very real here there s no prices on the board in the office for a reason called in for a quote for my brakes when I arrive I paid immediately right after they tell me I have a special type of brakes and it s $90 more even through I told him on the phone what kind of car I had I ended up giving him $50 extra after he already processed my card it very shady and sketchy I only giving 1 star because they did a good job otherwise

They were reasonable. Paying for failed smog test never feels good. So one star deducted.

They asked me to leave my van there and my car increase 140 miles over weekend, and did not fix anything. There was crashed on my van on right side.I asked the paper for leaving my car there, and he did not give to me. Finally, he told me that he doesn't want to repair for my car and do not go back.My bad luck!
