AAA Approved Auto Repair I would like to personally thank and endorse Precision Automotive in Gunnison. After a horrific experience with another auto repair shop in Gunnison, Precision fixed the original mistake in my college student's vehicle at a fair price. They treated him with respect, they were efficient and professional. I highly recommend using this auto repair shop.

I left my 2003 Hummer on their lot and awaited their opening at 8 am the next day. I feared that being a. A cold morning caused the tire pressure light to come on in my car and my tires are filled with Nitrogen (a little harder to come by).

1984 the doors opened as "Precision Alignment and Auto Repair" at 606 S. 9th St, a 3 bay unit not really designed as an auto repair facility. With little cash but a lot of desire, it was opened with a "failing is not an option" attitude. Quality work at a fair price allowed the shop to grow exponentially to the point of outgrowing the facility in just 18 months.

Our truck quit running while visiting gunnison from Arizona. Not knowing anything about the area we were lucky enough to find precision auto. They have rental cars available Not new but not as pricey as the national firms. The gunnison area repair shops are extremely busy with long wait times. I found the information I needed to make the fix myself and was allowed to do the work on their lot. Very very nice people to work with. Also if they repair your auto they rent you a vehicle at around half price

My wife and I hit a deer while traveling to Crested Butte. I had my vehicle towed to Precision. They got to it immediately despite being very busy. Great service! Service: Engine repair

We have been taking our vehicles to Precision for about a year now. They have always been great to work with and easy to setup appointments with. They have been extra helpful working on my truck, which has a lot of modifications, and often requires some extra problem solving. Precision doesn't hesitate to jump right in and keep my truck moving safely down the road and trail. We appreciate having a shop we trust with our vehicles.

Only shop in Gunnison I use for my vehicle. Always in the loop with what's going on. Can't beat the prices or service. They also have a complimentary shuttle to pick and drop you off.

Today I had my new AT tires mounted/balanced at Precision Automotive by Jesus. The service was fast, and the results were great! Jesus wrapped my old tires for me in plastic to not get my seats dirty, which I really appreciated! Precision Automotive not only had the best rate in town, but the staff was also the friendliest! I will only do business with this company when it comes to my Subaru's needs in the valley! A+

My truck broke down while I was in Gunnison. Even though it was a Land Rover Steve at Precision was able to jump on it and work on the transmission much faster than they originally estimated. His pricing was very fair and overall I had a great experience. Service: Transmission

We had a rental car with a slow leak. Chris was so kind to fit us in. She even took us into town while they did the work. She called us when it was done (much faster than expected) and came back to pick us up. We then drove from Colorado to Maryland with a fixed tire and no more issues!

They saved the day! My daughters limped in with a bad turbo charger and even though Precision and every other shop nearby was booked days out, they had a cancellation and were able to diagnose quickly. Despite challenges they came in early and stayed late to make the complicated repairs as quickly as possible. They provided a loaner so my daughters could still have some local adventurers while waiting. Great communication, compassion and more that fair price for all the surprise extra work. Made me want to drive out just to say thanks!

I've been a loyal customer of Precision Automotive for well over 20 years with many different vehicles. Steve and his crew are professional and knowledgeable. I trust their word. They tell me when something needs to be repaired or replaced. They also tell me when I can get by for ______ miles or months until I will need to do something. I was unfaithful once many years ago. I tried another place. After months of being jerked around by the other place, I fled back to Precision for their fantastic customer service and competence.

Really enjoy taking my car to Precision Automotive. Customer service is phenomenal and pricing is affordable. Couldn't find anyone else in town to do an oil change cheaper AND I got $10 off for liking the Precision Automotive Facebook Page. I highly recommend visiting and supporting a local business that prides themselves in customer satisfaction.

Precision Automotive did an excellent job of helping our family get back on the road for our return trip from vacation. We pulled into the shop about 3pm and they made sure our vehicle was checked out before the end of the business day and had us back on the road the next afternoon by 1pm. All staff members were professional and knowledgeable. Great people to work with, we really appreciated their efforts!

The worst experience I have ever had. I just asked them to look at my security system. So they pulled my starter without asking. Something I have done on that car before. I asked them to replace a pvc valve and instead they stuck a bolt up the hose and a rubber quark in the engine. They are a joke. Terrible work. Shady people. When you think Precision, think Shady Shane and Sketchy Steve.

Very disappointed. I had an appointment for some service today, only to learn that they were backed up and would be delayed for about an hour. 4 hours later, I returned to check in on my car and saw it in exactly the same location that I had parked it. Turns out, the part they had ordered from another mechanic was defective and they couldn't make the necessary repairs. They should have called me with this information immediately, not waited to casually inform me once I had arrived back at the shop.

A cold morning caused the tire pressure light to come on in my car and my tires are filled with Nitrogen (a little harder to come by). Justin at Precision Automotive topped off my tires free of charge. Free, friendly, and fast service. can't beat that!

After breaking down on July 4th, 2017 in Lake City, and being towed back to Gunnison where my hotel was, the wrecker operator(who was amazing, but that is another review) recommended Precision. I left my 2003 Hummer on their lot and awaited their opening at 8 am the next day. I feared that being a tourist I might have trouble getting work done in short order. Not only did these folks get me on the road by 11 am, at a decent price, they washed it too! Thank you for excellent customer service! Rare these days!

Precision recently diagnosed (for a fee) the acceleration issue with my Ford. They then told me they completed the repair (lightened my wallet for several hundred dollars). Well the issue still existed the next day! I returned to their shop and they want to charge me another diagnostic fee since they were clueless with their original diagnosis or they installed a bad part or installed the part wrong. Basically they do NOT stand behind their work. Will not spend another nickel at this establishment.

This business preys on college students. DON'T TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. My daughter took her car to Precision after being in a small accident. She told them that the windshield wiper fluid reservoir would not hold wiper fluid and that the plastic protector under the engine was loose from the accident. They had the car for less than two hours. The bill was $212.29. THEY DID VIRTUALLY NO WORK.

They charged my daughter $57.44 to diagnose the fact that when you poured wiper fluid in the windshield wiper reservoir it ran right out on the ground. Of course she told them this. That's why she brought the car in. They charged another $80.41 for a "noise inspection." Apparently they listened to the engine, heard the belts squeal and advised her to replace the belts for another $196.50.

She did not have them replace the belts. But to listen to the engine and tell her the belts squealed they still charged her $80.41. The only work they did (allegedly) was to secure the plastic protector under the engine which was loose. For this they charged only $57.44. My daughter called me when she got back to Western State. I called Precision.

They were unapologetic and refused my request for a refund of any kind. And they said that none of the "inspection" charges would be credited toward the repairs. I recommend that you do not do business with these people. And if your son or daughter has a car at Western State, tell them to have their car serviced elsewhere. They don't deserve your business.

After a bad experience with Mechanic on Duty, I decided to try Precision Automotive. They were very friendly and checked to see if I would be waiting when I made the appointment. They got my car in at the the time of my appointment and quickly got it finished. They have a nice waiting area and a shuttle. I would highly recommend them!

As an out of towner hauling a heavy load my truck started sounding like a Harley passing by Gunnison. I am so glad I found this shop after being told to come back in five days by another shop. They did an excellent up front interview of the problem, even offered a rental if I needed another car while it was being fixed, then identified the engine issue and fixed it same day at very reasonable price. As it turned out it was a blown out spark plug caused by stripped threads in the cylinder head, takes far more work and effort than your average tuneup.

Out of towers Beware! I smashed into a curb on vacation in the 30" of snow on the mountain. Created butte doesn't have an alignment machine so Gunnison is the next town over with one. I was charged $97 for an alignment here- $25 more than my last alignment. It took an hour and a half including the 13 minutes it took them to take my car into the garage in the first place after signing in for my appointment!

I had an 8am appointment and got there at 7:45. Literally couldn't get anyone to make eye contact, much less open a door before 8 came around. Once it was done I noticed some numbers on the paperwork that didn't indicate where they needed to be in regards to the alignment. I ask the guy checking me out, Anthony, who couldn't tell me why those numbers were off but insisted he had a "$100,000 machine in there- I know I didn't mess up." He suggested those parts of the car "couldn't be adjusted." So you're suggesting I need a new car now or what?

He was LITERALLY yelling at me at this point and all I wanted to know was what was wrong and how I could fix it. Seems reasonable for an auto repair shop to explain that sort of thing. I saw him being rude to the customer in front of me but never imagined he would yell at me. Tiffany set my appointment over the phone and she was super sweet but this Anthony character was more than reason enough to give this place a "0" for customer service.

After being overcharged for what I felt took too long, I was given an alignment result that showed they didn't even finish the job correctly. I spent $100 bucks for a mechanic to yell at me for not finishing his job! Steer clear of this shop and a message to management, Anthony is miserable!

I was an out of town RV'er passing through town who happened upon this business. The man at counter came out to check my 2nd battery voltage since my furnace wasn't working. He noticed that the battery cables were attached but not with nuts so he sold me two nuts that for some reason he decided to personally put on and tighten.then he charged me $20 for the 2 nuts. I'd have been embarrased.

The service and professionalism at this place is a joke. I came in to see if they could simply diagnose a problem with my 2007 passats front defroster. All that would need to be done is to hook up a VagCom and bam, it would give an error code for the fault. I have had a lot of experience with car repair facilities and the usual charge for such a minor diagnosis would be around 20$.

The guy at the counter who seemed pissed to see a customer, told me that no matter what the issue. He would charge over 100$ an hour for "labor costs". What a crock. I have heard bad things about this place but I guess I just had to see for myself. Do yourself a favor and don't even bother walking in. You will undoubtably leave disappointed.

I walked in for a tire repair at lunchtime and like most I was in a bit of a hurry being an out of town hunter. The nice lady at the counter (I wish I got her name) offered to find another place in town who could service me quicker. Long story short, my experience at the other place was not favorable. I wish I would have just waited for Precision to take care of me after lunch.

While at Precision, I saw the interaction the 3 counter people had with 2 two other customers and my impression is they are very courteous and trustworthy. If I lived there, they are the tire/auto service company I would give business to.

I had to give this business 2 stars because the quality of their work is beyond reproach. BUT other than that there are no positives in dealing with this business. They are WAY overpriced and only more than willing to to steal your wallet (if given half the opportunity). Their customer service skills are not only lacking, but nonexistent. The service manager is not only rude but also self absorbed to the point of being obnoxious. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere, and avoid this dysfunctional, overpriced business!.

Customer service could use improvement. How about greeting customers when they come in the door? Service we had done was very pricey.
