Precision Automotive

Two thumbs up. Mark runs a small little shop on Mission Gorge just off 8. I took my Camry in to the dealer for regular maintenance and they came back alerting me that I needed close to $ 1,600 in repair work done. I took it to Mark and he successfully made all the repairs for less than $ 500.
I’m recommending him to all my friends and make the same recommendation to you.
The only drawback is that he’s just one guy, so if he’s busy, it might be a couple days before he can get to your car.

Mark is the best! He has repaired issues that the dealer couldn’t. I will never take my cars anywhere else.

Mark is awesome, I can’t say enough good things about him. He’s honest he does good work and he’s a good guy in general. I had the same mechanic for years and after moving to San Diego I had to find a new one. I tried him out and I’m so glad I found him. I’m picky about who works on my truck and he’s done a great job for me as well as my fiancé.

One of the best shops around. Mark Is a master tech that can handle any job with detail and precision. Don’t hesitate to him a call

I also went to Mark due to a referral from a friend, and I wish I had done so years ago. He treated me like an adult despite my woman-​ness and was totally straightforward about everything he was doing and what needed to be done (and told me which things were likely to cost more if I left them until later, as opposed to lower priority things). His prices are more than reasonable. I’m stoked to have finally found a mechanic who I can trust.

Well lets just say this is THE place for your auto repair. Mark is the best, no B.S. Specializes in foreign cars, doesn’t do alot of domestic, but will if it’s not a major job. My Chevy van was spewing oil out the bottom, my batt. was dead, & I was stuck at a Home Depot pking lot. I thought it was somthing major, like a rear seal. I usually fix my own vehicles, if I can’t fix it, I like to at least know whats wrong with it so I don’t get burned. Anyway, Mark,(the owner) came out with a jumper & some oil.(I had spoken to him earlier & told him my situation), so we put oil in, jumped it &he diagnosed it right there. Turns out it wasn’t as big a problem as I thought. Anyway, long story short, I knew he was straight with me & went out of his way to help me, even after hours! I totally trust this place.

Had a great experience with Precision Automotive! I brought my car to Mark after I was rear ended and my alternator stopped working. He was thorough in assessing my entire car, even calling the insurance company to ask above coverage and to make sure I’d be covered with a rental car. He made sure I understood exactly what my car needed. I was provided with options and fair prices. The entire time Mark was professional, trustworthy, friendly, and knowledgeable. He really went above and beyond any mechanic I’ve ever met.

So after a horrible experience at a another company, I went to this repair shop because I was referred there by a smog company. Mark the owner is absolutely fabulous! My 2005 Toyota would not pass smog. He found the issue, fixed it fast, and barely charged me. He also explained exactly what happened and why. It is soooo hard to find a good and honest automotive company, I will come back here again and again and I promise to refer everyone I know.
Thanks guys!

Very good experience here. Mark the owner is friendly, trustworthy and detailed with his explanations.
Had my VW beetle taken care of because of dashboard light. He explained possible causes and resolved issue for me promptly at a fair cost. Would definitely use them again!

By far the absolute best automotive experience I’ve ever had!!! In short, I randomly pulled into the parking lot after my Honda prelude started acting strange on the freeway (i.e. Check Engine light on, Oil Light flashing, and little puffs of smoke coming from under the hood). Definitely not the best feeling, however, like a miracle I ran into one of the mechanics, Jordan, in the parking lot who graciously took a look under the hood during his off time and recommended the exact oil I needed which was available across the street at the Honda dealership. (Fast forward). When I returned back to the shop, Jordan had already spoken with Mark (shop owner), who offered to put my car up on the lift, and identified exactly where my leak was, why the light came on, any future problems I might want to think about (i.e. tires) and helped top off the oil and put in a new filter. Additionally, Mark personally called the Honda dealership and helped me get the required part (O-​ring) for next to nothing. (AGAIN, this was all after hours!!). Perhaps the icing on the cake was when it was all said and done, Mark considered it a New Year’s Eve present, and only requested a cup of coffee during my next visit to the area. To me finding a legitimate/​trustworthy mechanic has always felt like searching for a «Unicorn» or «pot of gold» at the end of the rainbow, and you wonder if they truly exists? Well they DO!!! And they’re at Precision Automotive! For as long as I live in San Diego, I will be a loyal customer.
P.S.
I specifically joined Unilocal,to make sure this business was recognized for their outstanding service. Thanks again gentlemen!

Love this place!!! I was referred to Mark Chapman, the owner, through a friend. I had taken my 2001 VW Jetta to City VW multiple (and I mean 5 – 7) times to figure out WHY the check engine light kept coming on. City VW «fixed» my car each time, each time charging me, of course, since the supposed «issue» was never under warranty. Each and every time, about 100 miles later, the *^$%#@!! light would come back on. As soon as I found out about Precision Automotive, I took the car there, and VOILA! Mark fixed my car, the right way! Shockingly, he told me he discovered previous «repairs» where things had not been put back together properly (he even showed me photos). I give him 5 stars for going the extra mile, he really took the time to make sure the car was fixed the right way and working properly before giving it back to me. AND he stayed within his original quote, even though the repairs took a bit longer than he originally thought. I will never take my car anywhere else.
