About Precision Auto

Get to know the team behind Precision Auto, our history, our mission, and our commitment to providing exceptional auto repair services in San Francisco.

Our History

Precision Auto was established in 2010 by Michael Chen, a lifelong resident of San Francisco and a certified master mechanic. Michael's passion for cars began at a young age, tinkering with engines in his father's garage. After graduating from the Automotive Technology program at City College of San Francisco, Michael worked for several years at a large dealership, gaining valuable experience and honing his skills. However, he felt a disconnect between the corporate environment and his desire to provide personalized, honest service to his community.

Driven by this desire, Michael decided to open his own auto repair shop, Precision Auto. From the beginning, his vision was to create a place where customers could trust that they were receiving the highest quality repairs and maintenance at a fair price. He started small, renting a modest garage space in the Mission District and relying on word-of-mouth referrals. As Precision Auto's reputation for excellence grew, the business expanded, moving to a larger, more modern facility in the South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood.

Over the years, Precision Auto has become a fixture in the San Francisco automotive landscape. We have built a loyal customer base who appreciate our dedication to customer service, our transparent pricing, and our commitment to using only the best parts and equipment. We are proud to be a family-owned and operated business, and we are deeply invested in the success of our community. We actively support local charities and initiatives, believing that giving back is an essential part of being a responsible business.

Today, Precision Auto continues to thrive, driven by the same values that Michael Chen instilled from the start: integrity, quality, and customer satisfaction. We are committed to staying at the forefront of automotive technology and providing our customers with the best possible service for years to come. Our team regularly attends training and certification programs to ensure we are up-to-date on the latest advancements in the industry. We are proud of our history and excited about the future of Precision Auto.
