5-star service, without a doubt! Friendly team (thank you for the hot cup of coffee!) While waiting, I had a front seat to how Precision Automotive interfaces with their customers, both on the phone and in person ... truly a positive vibe. No hassle service: it was the first time in years that my car came out of an oil change without a business trying to tack on extras to the cost -- how refreshing! This is the kind of experience that will definitely bring me back for any automotive preventive maintenance and repairs.
