Automotive News & Information - Precision Automotive Of Manteca

When you are having trouble with your car or truck starting and you open the hood up to take a peek to see this....you'll see what an overly corroded battery looks like. This happens naturally over time on vehicle battery terminals. If you are like 99% of normal Manteca drivers, you don't check your oil or your battery so you don't keep an eye on the amount of corrosion that's building up on your car or truck battery. Here at Precision Automotive Of Manteca, we do and there are solvents that we can use here in the shop during a battery maintenance service that will help slow the corrosion process but nothing that can prevent it 100%. Way before it gets to this point, we will be suggesting you consider replacing the battery.

There is a reason we check your brake fluid when you come in for a service check. Maintenance pays big dividends and we want to avoid high repair costs for our Manteca drivers.

My car had all kind of things pop up on the dashboard. They were able to quickly find out the problem and fix it. I've taken my car to the dealership a few times for the same issue. I brought my car here and it feels better than ever! They are fast, kind, and affordable. Really would highly recommend to anyone! - Camila C. (5 star review on Yelp)

This place was awesome! ted greeted me as soon as I drove up. I had to leave town for family emergency and drive across country and wanted an oil change and a pre trip inspection. They squeezed me in and got me on the road, 3 days later I arrived in Florida, and car ran like a dream. Thank you for you professionalism and God bless you all....Definitely recommend this business. - Tony V. (5 star review on Google)
