My bio: I have been a customer over the course of two years and I have two auto shops I go to (Precision Motorworks in Seattle and Central Automotive in Kent) in order to get two opinions on services needed and compare prices. I have had multiple services done at both places and the work seems to be good (have not had to go back for rework or found any damages resulting from service). Tbh, I prefer Central Automotive more because their facility is much nicer with a seating area and snacks and my very female intuition tells me that Central Automotive treats women better. I don't have qualms making this statement because the sad reality is women tend to be treated like they don't know what they are talking about when it comes to cars. Not always but let's be real: it happens. I drive a 2011 BMW 328i. Pros: Precision Motorworks does have loaner cars available but it's not guaranteed so you need to check with them beforehand. I've had them do service on my car twice and they had a loaner for me one time. The other time they said they were out. Precision Motorworks gave me a write up of recommended upcoming services and prices the second time I was there which makes it easier for me to keep track of what they say is wrong with my car. Cons: This place is pricey. I initially chose to come here because they gave me a low price for one service (brake fluid replacement), then they told me my serpentine belt is about to come off and needs to be replaced and quoted me a high price. I shopped around and found Central Automotive was able to replace the serpentine belt at a cheaper price. Central Automotive agreed the serpentine belt needed to be replaced asap. The second time I went in for service, they told me my oil filter housing gasket was leaking 7/10 and needed to be replaced. They quoted me $500. I took my car to Central Automotive for a second opinion and after looking at my car and showing me photos, they told me there is some seepage but they can't in good conscience tell me I need service for it. I just need to keep an eye on it during oil changes. So there you good. I'd say Precision Motorworks is honest and correct 60-80% of the time but I don't trust everything they say (I get a second opinion if I have time and it's not an emergency) and I DEFINITELY know they do not have the best prices.

Just wanted to express my thanks to Josh, Anthony, Kevin, and Stephanie for getting me and my Range Rover back on the road. After Land Rover of Lynnwood spent 3 weeks and was unable to correctly diagnose a battery draw issue, Precision Motorworks was able to do so, including the repair, within 3 business days. I even got the choice of a cool Mini Cooper stick-shift as a loaner during that time. Josh handled the scheduling and explanations professionally and without me needing to call first, when other repair shops (Lynnwood Land Rover!) usually wait for the customer to call. I brought the car in before the weekend to get it in queue, and it was done by Wednesday afternoon. The issue was in the instrument cluster which needed reprogramming and a software update. It starts up quickly again and runs super smooth, and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommending taking your older-model European cars here when they need to be looked at; the manufacturer dealerships usually have techs that understand only the more recent models. Precision Motorworks has the experience, history, and the knowledge to handle those needs.

So pleased! 1987 e28 BMW 535is with 240k miles. They were genuinely enthusiastic about the opportunity to work on my car! When was the last time anyone experienced that from their shop? Replaced original (!!!) clutch on my daily driver. Installed the performance flywheel I sourced on my own. Made a few exhaust mounts and replaced the original transmission mounts. Their work has been flawless after 5k miles, and the total amount charged was very reasonable (and under their original estimate). Communication was great (I was travelling while the work was being performed), and they called often to inform me of the progress. They even called specifically to let me know how cool they thought my replacement performance flywheel was as they were installing it. They graciously provided all the replaced parts at my request. This team knows what they're doing, they take pride in their craft, and they definitely satisfied a customer with exacting standards. I will be taking my e28 back to them for the more serious stuff that's coming in ~60k miles.

They also wash your car before you pick it up... I FINALLY tried them instead of the MINI dealership for something "simple" and they aptly brought to my attention some other things I had forgotten to address that if left unchecked much longer would have caused very costly damage to my MINI AND they beat the dealer price on everything I chose to have them do. It's not a glitzy shop but the convenience, competitive pricing and service quality made it the right choice. The only thing you could say the dealer has up on them is that the dealer will loan brand new MINIs out while you are in service so you get to "test drive" other models, which is fun, but for me the hassle involved canceled out the benefit over time.

Brought my older bmw that was making some engine sounds in. Paid $550 to get the car looked at to see if doing the work was going to be worth it with the age of the car. They told me it was a go and that the work would get my car another 50-100 thousand miles. I paid another $1800 on top of the $550 diagnosis. Car made it less than 1/4 of a mile down the road when the engine completely blew up and the car was never drivable again. They wouldn't even refund me the initial $550 after obviously ripping me off and baiting me into sinking a ton of money into a car that should have been retired. I highly recommend never bringing any vehicle here. Ever. Cross yet another mechanic off the Seattle list.

I've been using Precision Motorworks for all of my BMW repairs since January 2007. They have taken very good care of my car and have been extremely honest. I could tell dozen's of stories... One that comes to mind is when I had an exhaust leak... sounded like it was coming from the head... could have been VERY expensive to pull the whole engine out, etc - and I was ready to pay through the nose. (And they knew I was prepared, we talked about the cost). Later that day, I walked out with a less than $80 bill for diagnosis - it was a loose spark plug. They could have tightened my sparkplug and charged me $600 and I wouldn't have known. These guys are great and they know what they're doing.

The shop is clean, and the work is really good. I had them check through my cars and they spotted everything that was wrong with them. The service isn't cheap... when has good service ever been cheap? People don't buy volvos or BMW's without knowing it's a great car to drive, and will be expensive to maintain. The thing that really stood out to me was that John, the owner, memorized the service levels for the car and quoted them off the top of his head to me. I also love that they use Volvo filters in their changes, which are WAY overpriced BTW, (do it yourself!) but that's the key to keeping the car going forever like it should. If you want to cut corners go somewhere else.

I have a 2004 mini cooper R50 that is having clutch issues. I brought it in for a diagnostic appointment and the fee was pretty reasonable compared to other places. I also found their report to be accurate and honest. Everything they said made sense since I did a lot of research about the possible issues before taking it in. I didn’t feel like they were trying to add on things I didn’t need like other places did. They were cool about me sourcing the parts for the repairs and the labor cost was reasonable too. I wasn’t able to afford the repairs unfortunately so I can’t speak to that. But I would have felt comfortable asking them to do the repairs if I could afford it.

I wanted to thank Josh, Stephanie for their outstanding service in getting my vehicle back on the road after I purchased my first Audi last month. Josh was very knowledgeable and explained what I need after they done a full inspection of my vehicle. I would recommend them than using any dealership. They are reasonable and only specialize in European vehicles. The bonus is if you need to leave your car at the shop you get a free loaner car just pay for the gas that you use. I give them 5-stars. Professional, Good Customer Service, On-time and friendly. You guys are the best.

Spent $1,600+ at this place for the check engine light which came back on a day after picking it up. Then the car kept shaking violent during idle. Took it to Viking Auto Services and they told me it was a coolant leak. I called to tell Precision this multiple times and even requested to speak with the owner no calls or follow ups. I had to drop another $2,500 on repairs at another shop. Left a one star review with no details because it didn't seem worth it but since the new owner decided to show up to my place of work and make a scene I thought I should elaborate.

After all the hassle of talking to them making sure they knew what i needed done to my range Rover towing it there telling them over the phone I didn't have a key them saying no problem I tow it down there they say that they can't take it without the key i get the key made for them to say they cannot repair it cause someone already started on it I've never heard or a shop saying they can't repair a broken car it's what they do I offered them 8000 dollars and a bramd new 2021 Acura with 30000 miles on it and they still said no they can't do it

I asked if they could do an oil change and safety check on my Mercedes before a trip I was going on. Even though they usually book repairs at least a week out, they told me to drop it off in the morning and they would try to get to it within the next few days. 2 hours later my car was ready to go. The whole thing was less than half of what I had been paying at another specialty auto repair shop just for the oil change. Now I can take that trip sure that my car is gonna be fine. I will be returning for any future repairs.

I recently had my vehicle serviced here after over a year of frustrating electrical and other issues. I had received steep quotes at two shops with added unnecessary work. PM quoted me way below the other shops! The owner worked on my vehicle & within a few hours, it was ready & better than I'd imagined. He even rearranged the wiring so it was more safe. I felt so relieved as I drive my children in this vehicle. I'm a very pleased new customer and will be recommending this place!

Took my car in for a brake change and they did an amazing job. They were on time, on budget, and extremely friendly. I've done all my own car work my entire life, but since moving into the city, I no longer have access to an area to perform any work myself. Point being, whether Precision knew of my car knowledge or not, I knew they weren't taking advantage of me and were being fair with their pricing and diagnoses with my vehicle. Will take my car there again.

Precision Motorworks deserves a shout-out for swooping in and rescuing my BMW from a suspension nightmare. They tackled the issue on short notice and handled it like pros. These mechanics know their way around BMWs, fixing things up with the kind of precision that's right in their name. Quick, professional, and reliable service that turned my panic into peace of mind. Hats off to Precision Motorworks for being the real MVPs of mechanics!

Clearly no one wants to have to repair an engine after only 41,000 miles, especially replace a Turbocharger… but that aside I can only recommend one place for your Range Rover repairs…and Precision Motorworks has earned my business for life. Their communication was great and their people are great to work with. This is a great business and if I could give more ’s I would. 10’s is more accurate!! Rohn Rutledge

I brought in my 2001 Audi TT for a major oil leak problem. Not only did they diagnose the problem quickly, but since they had to "Go Deep" to repair the problem, they suggested that some other parts should be replaced while the engine was apart, saving time and money in the future, They also finished when they said they would, and near to the agreed upon price. I highly recommend these guys for ANY repair - big or small.

I have had my 2002 525i since 2013. Precision has helped me with ALL maintenance until current 2021. I am now upgrading to a X3 and I will continue to use their service. Steff and Josh and all of the mechanics have been nothing but friendly, honest, patient and so accommodating through the years. I will continue to use them as I own BMWs. This staff is like any close family. I can trust them. Thank you Precision!

Brought my first car here for an inspection, been going since. Really appreciate the welcoming and consistent service. I’ve had my older cars serviced pretty much just by them. They have helped me out with getting a 1980 633csi bmw running wonderfully, as well as 93’ 260e and mid-late 80s Mercedes. Its really great seeing everyones care, and knowledge about cars and their history. would absolutely recommend.

I have given Precision $10,000 in service business over the years on my 2003 5-series. In general, the guys are responsive and are liberal on their loaners. I have had a couple of issues that required rework. Most recently a valve cover gasket started leaking only 8,000 miles after they replaced it (and I have since moved to another city). However, they stood behind their work and provided a partial credit.

Was on a road trip and my older car finally kicked the bucket. These guys diagnosed it for me as dead-on-arrival and were kind enough to let me keep it on the lot while I sorted out a wrecker who would take it. Can't honestly speak too much to their mechanical skill as they only diagnosed me, but service was excellent. Would recommend.

This is the only place I will trust with servicing my BMW E90 335i. They have a very fair hourly labor rate and will work with customer-supplied parts. I've had both my valve cover and oil pan gasket replaced with zero issues afterwards. The service advisors are nice people and good to work with. Turnaround time is good.

I had the oil pan gasket replaced on my 2011 335i, and the price was surprisingly low for such a big job. Prices for parts were fair and did not appear to be marked up compared to what I could find on FCP or ECS. Communication was great, and staff is very friendly and honest. I will definitely be a returning customer.

Service was prompt, courteous and thorough. They took the time to answer all of my questions and explained everything on my bill in great detail. Communication was excellent and they tailored their services to meet my needs. As someone who gets anxious going to the mechanical, I felt totally taken care of.

Found these guys by chance, had them do some work on my car and I'm never going anywhere else. Have been a loyal customer since. Staff is friendly and takes the time to explain everything until you're satisfied and understand. They have earned my trust and they really know what they are doing.

They told me I needed new air and cabin filters, a month after I replaced them myself. They told me I needed new brakes, and I ignored them and have been driving for 9 months with no problems. Maybe a little honesty is too much to expect, but I'm going to try someone new.

I brought in my 01 BMW for repair. They were very courteous and respectful. They got back to me very promptly with the issue and gave me a fair quote. I was very pleased with the speed at which the got it done as well. All in all it was an extremely pleasent experience.

I've been there once so far and enjoyed the experience. I have a 1999 BMW 328i that was leaking engine coolant. They were honest with the price and time to get it fixed. They even had a free car to use while mine was in the shop. ($10.00 worth of gas keeps it free)

Have been going here for several years over two different vehicles. Will continue to be going for as long as I can. They are very good. Everybody is very friendly and great at explaining and helping you make the best choice. Fast and reliable.

I came in with some excruciating sounds emanating from my BMW's engine and me frantic to get to work! The moment I walked through the front doors I was greeted with friendly staff and they worked to get me on my way as fast as possible. Not

First time buyer of a Range Rover and first time customer other then to a Auto Dealership to get repairs done. I was a little skeptical because of that but found these people were awesome. Bad at remembering names but S (still can't think

I would give them negative stars if I could. I was handed the 2002 volvo I currently drive after finishing school. Precision Motorworks took advantage of the fact I was young and unknowledgeable about volvos. For the past two years I've

Precision Motorworks, in the past two years they have repaired two complex cars for my family, 2001 Volvo S80 T6 and 2006 BMW 325XI, both times at a low price they diagnosed and repaired the issue. I trust and recommend them.

I dropped off my car the night before my appointment and then had my timing belt and water pump service finished the same day!!! Will definitely be coming back!!! And recommending this shop to everyone I know with Volvo’s

I met a gentleman at the car wash who shared what a good company this is. I took my car in and spoke with Josh. He took the greatest care of my car and earned my business from Phil Smart. Highly recommended.

I’m always impressed by the professionalism of Precision. We have taken three cars over the years to Precision and always feel they recommend what is necessary and do not oversell like many dealerships.

After a 2,666 Miles ride with a trailer, my front driver side wheel bearing began making a humming sound. Took it to precision they replaced the bearing price was fair. All the weird sound stopped.

Great work, fine quickly and priced fairly. Good at explaining the procedures to be and good about making sure I understand what is necessary and what is optional. highly recommend for your Volvo.

Good shop here. Happy to see the same guys here over and over. Even the new service guy I know from another Volvo shop and he is straight forward, honest and most importantly knows his stuff.

They are really professional, friendly, and helpful. They can find out the problem really fast and accurate, very willing to communicate! The price is also beautiful, absolutely recommend!

Brought my BMW here for repairs and they sure did a good job fixing up my ride. These guys are specialized in BMW, I'm so glad I found them. Customer for life thanks Precision Motorworks!

They charger 130 dollar to diagnose the car and saying that we they are not sure about the issue though this place was professional mechanic which not just wasting money and time !.

I've been taking my x5 to precision auto works for 3 years. They do a great job and are quick and courteous. I'm very happy and will continue taking my vehicles there.

Good customer service, great communication. I really appreciate the text updates. They replaced the power steering on my 2006 Mini Cooper and did a great job.

the good: I brought my bmw here and needed it fixed fast. The shop quickly got to work, found, and fixed the problem. They were professional and polite.

Did an aftermarket upgrade on my bmw, more than fair pricing, probably will use again down the road when something comes up.

This company surely doesn't deserve your business let alone be in business...there dishonest crooks! Read...

I love this shop. Worth driving up from Tacoma. Quality work. Good pricing. They are upfront about everything

Very kind staff with great communication. Got my Range Rover Sport running smoothly at a fair price

Fair. Honest. Sincerely wants your business to maintain your ICE baby.
