Auto Repair in Poway

Been there a couple time for service and they do a great job. Seem to be very honest on what they can/cannot do. Would recommend to a friend.

These guys are great. I have had several cars repaired here and they have been professional and very fairly priced. Brian is always willing to accommodate and help with a good solution for you. They are not trying to up sell you or get you to do unanticipated work. Give them a shot, you won't be disappointed.

In the North County, specifically the 4S, Rancho Bernardo, Poway, Rancho Penasquitos, Del Sur, and Scripps Ranch areas, Poway Accurate Automotive (PAA) should be your go to place for anything smog related. Bryan the owner and his business stands for integrity and professionalism. Other smog places like Poway Smog not so much. I've had both my cars serviced for a smog check and both times, I was treated courteously and was provided exemplary customer service. Allow me to relay a story of today's experience with Edith from Poway Smog. With my Pennysaver coupon that gave me a discounted price of $30, I proceeded to search for PAA, but because it had been a little time since my last visit, I had forgotten where they were located. Thinking I had found the place, I parked in front of a smog place, but there was no PAA signage. As I parked, a lady, who I found out was named Edith, came out the door and motioned me into an open bay of the business. I asked Edith if her business was Poway Accurate Automotive and she replied it wasn't. Edith stated, "We take business from them all the time." I asked Edith if she honors competitor's coupons to which she said "No", but that she would give me a good price. She even said that PAA doesn't really charge $30 and I replied that I've used this same coupon with PAA in the past. She told me that she charges $48, so I said "No thanks" and quickly exited her business to find PAA. I have zero tolerance for people with no integrity and you should too. PAA is one driveway before Poway Smog and they are locates next to a U-Haul business. PAA's tagline is "We are honest, have integrity and will do only necessary repairs." Talk to Bryan or his father, who are respectful and seem like good guys. I personally can attest that these guys have strong integrity. Edith from Poway Smog, shame on you for bad mouthing an honest business trying to make an honest buck.

I needed a STAR smog check and found a discount coupon on their Web page. Brought in the car and was told they would have it done in 15 minutes. "Sure," I thought to myself. "And I'm the Queen of Sheba." Well, ten minutes later I was out of there. I'll never doubt them again. "Under promise - over perform." Bring your business here.

Smog Check + Repair Review Poway's Precision Automotive and Poway's Accurate Automotive are sister locations with the same owner. I found these locations on Yelp, and both locations have 4+/5 ratings, so I thought it would be a great place to get my smog done. Great deal because for newer cars, $30 OTD for a smog is. Since my car is an older car, smog is $40 OTD. Other places run $50+. Keep in mind both these locations are full repair. If it fails like mine did, repair has to be done on location to qualify for free retest. Wasn't a big deal for me because the repair experience was wonderful. My car failed smog check at Precision Auto. Brought the car into Accurate Automotive for diagnosis and they determined it was a cracked manifold and clogged EGR passages. The office manager at Precision Auto (Jay) was very understanding of my situation and gave me a fair price for the repair. Appreciate both Jay and Dirk (the owner) working with me on getting this issue resolved in a professional manner. Word of advice: this location gets very busy, especially on a holiday when I went in to get the smog work done. Call ahead and schedule an appointment. You will be glad you did.

I needed a smog check. They had an awesome coupon deal, got me in the same day and had the car tested and done in about 25 minutes. Best experience ever. I will be be using them again.

I came to Poway's Accurate Automotive after a friend recommended them. I was told that I needed to replace my entire ac system by another shop and could not afford the repair. Brian and the crew here looked at my truck and diagnosed a small hose that was leaking. They replaced the $20 part and re-charged my system and it has never worked so well. They saved me a ton of money and had my truck done in an afternoon. After this experience I will not be taking my truck anywhere else as they have proven themselves as an honest and trustworthy shop.

I was due for a smog check and came across their business advertisement in our local mailer. They had a coupon for a smog check for $21.75 + $8.25 for a certificate. They also had a deal for an oil change for $19.95 and figured since I would be there already, maybe they'll give me both deals. I was able to get an appointment for both services on the same day and was given both deals. They estimated that my car would be ready in 60 - 75 minutes and it was ready in 40 minutes!

Smog Check review only. I found this place when i was looking on line for a decently priced smoke check station in Poway/RB area. I've called around bunch of different shops and couldn't find the deal less then $50 (with certificate). Precision Automotive only charges around $22 (get coupon on their site) for a check and $8 for a certificate, so you pay 30 bucks out the door. Its a very fair price. I will definitely recommend everyone to get it there, i made an appointment and was out in 15 minutes. Quick service and affordable prices!

In the last month I have had to take my suburban in twice. Brian is the best! Very honest & I was in & out in a timely manner. I will always be a loyal customer to Poway Accurate Automotive.
