Unless you are confident in your abilities as an automotive mechanic, there is really only one rule when purchasing a flood-damaged vehicle: don’t do it. Unfortunately, sometimes sellers aren’t particularly straight-forward with their used cars. Many will try to hide the fact that it’s been damaged by floodwaters at all or try to convince potential buyers that the car is in fact fine. “It has gone months with no issues” or “technically it is flood-damaged but” are two red flags, and while it isn’t impossible for a flood car to be fine, it’s altogether a good idea to stay away.

Do you need new brake pads? Most of the time, if you think you do, the answer is yes. While a lot of auto parts stores sell brake pads with lifetime warranties, don’t be misled...brake pads will still wear down.

Just recently I had issues with my engine timing chain on my 2013 Honda Accord. I took it to the Honda dealership and they quoted me an astronomical price that didn't make sense. I then brought my car over to Precision Automotive and right off the bat, I was treated with courtesy. The owner Raj looked into my current situation with my car, made a great recommendation and gave me a fair price for this repair. And to top it off, their team was able to fix my car within a day and a half. I am so thankful and happy that I found this place and I highly recommend anyone to this shop. Courteous, friendly, gives a fair price and has great quality work....which is hard to find now a days. Thank you all at Precision Automotive. I will be referring people your way.
