As we head into the holiday season, many motorists will be travelling upcountry, visiting family or taking weekend road trips. Before hitting the road, ensure your vehicle is properly inspected. Pay attention to your braking system, tyres, suspension, engine oil, coolant levels, lights, battery and wipers. Also ensure your spare wheel and emergency equipment are in good condition.
Remember, a vehicle that drives well around town isn't necessarily ready for a long-distance journey. Preventive inspections help identify potential problems before they turn into unexpected breakdowns along the way. Book with us on 0708455455. We encourage you to have your vehicle checked before travelling. Enjoy your holidays, travel safely and arrive at your destination with peace of mind.

Guess who dropped by and decided it’s time to give his car a proper matt PPF installation! @NyaataVictor His reason? He wants to be ready to hit the election season in style. 😎
But beyond the looks, protecting your car is an investment in preserving its paintwork against stone chips, scratches and everyday wear. A proper PPF installation helps keep your vehicle looking good for longer.
Want to give your car the protection it deserves? Call or WhatsApp us on 0708455455 to book your installation with @PrecisionAutoKE .
What makes hybrid cars different from conventional petrol or diesel cars? Hybrid vehicles combine a conventional petrol engine with an electric motor and a high-voltage battery to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle can use either power source or both simultaneously. Through regenerative braking, some energy normally lost during braking is recovered and used to recharge the battery. However, hybrids have additional components such as inverters, battery management systems and specialised cooling circuits, which require proper maintenance and specialised diagnostics.

Here is the Valvetronic motor on the BMW N55 engine. Its function is to control the lift of the intake valves, regulating how much air enters the engine for efficient combustion and performance. When it fails, the engine may experience rough idling, reduced power, poor throttle response, warning lights or even starting difficulties. However, the fault may also originate from the eccentric shaft, worn gears or electrical connections. Proper diagnosis is therefore essential before replacing the motor. Call us today for all your diagnosis and repair: 0708455455.

Did you know that a faulty BMW EWS (Electronic Immobiliser) module can prevent your vehicle from cranking or starting? The EWS system communicates with the key and the engine management system to authorise starting. If communication fails or the module develops a fault, the vehicle may not recognise the key or grant the engine-start authorisation. Proper diagnosis is essential before replacing any components, as wiring, key recognition and module communication can also cause similar symptoms. For professional BMW diagnostics and repairs, contact @PrecisionAutoKE on 0708455455 or 0712455455.
Here is an electronic oil pressure switch. Its main function is to monitor engine oil pressure and alert the driver through the dashboard when pressure drops below the manufacturer’s specified level. A faulty switch can sometimes trigger false warnings, but low oil pressure can also result from a failing oil pump, blocked oil passages or excessive engine wear. Unlike conventional pressure switches that operate at a set pressure threshold, advanced oil pressure sensors can provide variable pressure readings. Never ignore an oil pressure warning; always establish whether the problem is electrical or mechanical before replacing any components.

Did you know your engines i take valves can accumulate carbon deposits without you noticing?? Well here is how..In direct injection engines, fuel is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber instead of passing through the intake ports. As a result, the intake valves don't benefit from the fuel washing effect found in traditional port injection systems. Over time, oil vapours from the crankcase ventilation system can contribute to carbon deposits forming on the intake valves. These deposits can restrict airflow, resulting in rough idling, hesitation, reduced engine performance and sometimes increased fuel consumption. The problem can develop gradually without immediately triggering a warning light. The important thing is proper diagnosis. Carbon build up is not always the cause of poor engine performance, so inspection should come before recommending cleaning.

Be careful where you source your engines. Not every supplier offers genuine engines, and not everyone stands by their word when things go wrong. Here is a good example of why choosing a trusted importer matters. The client's previous engine had issues, and instead of compromising on quality, a replacement engine has already been imported and is awaiting installation. We have now removed the old engine, and the new one is ready to go in. At @PrecisionAutoKE , we believe in keeping our word and standing by our clients. Import your engines with confidence through Precision Automotive.

At Precision we dont just service the car but ensure that we deliver peace of mind to the client by ensuring us that they can trust the Quality of services we offer.
Reach us on 0708 455 455 or visit us along Muringa Road Kilimani for gearbox and engine services.
I confidently recommend @PrecisionAutoKE for engine and gearbox services because I've worked there and I know the quality of work they do.
Servicing a car isn't just about changing the engine oil, filters or gearbox oil. The quality of the parts used and the workmanship matter a lot.
I mean you can use the best engine oil in the market, but if your mechanic fits a poor quality oil filter that restricts oil flow your engine suffers serious damage and you find yourself looking at a possible engine rebuild or replacement.
The same applies to poor workmanship. Something as simple as failing to tighten an oil drain plug or overtightening could lead to oil leakage & cost you an entire engine.
And you see the damage doesn't happen immediately. You drive away thinking your car has been serviced properly, only for problems to start showing up weeks later.
That's why I keep insisting that a cheap service isn't necessarily an affordable service.

Did you know that a 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine is designed to balance fuel efficiency, torque and everyday practicality? Depending on the manufacturer, this engine capacity is found in vehicles such as the Ford Ranger 2.2 TDCi, Mazda BT-50 2.2, Ford Everest 2.2 TDCi, Ford Transit and Land Rover Defender 2.2. In rear wheel drive (RWD) configurations, power is delivered to the rear wheels, making the setup particularly useful in pickups and commercial vehicles that require good load carrying capability. Its turbocharging and diesel torque delivery provide pulling power at relatively low engine speeds, while proper servicing of the turbocharger, fuel system, cooling system and transmission remains essential for reliability. Also note that not every 2.2-litre version of these vehicles is RWD; drivetrain configuration varies by model, year and specification. Need an engine import? Dial or WhatsApp us on 0701455455.
Did you know that low engine oil pressure can cause serious engine damage within a short time? Engine oil provides lubrication, reduces friction and helps regulate internal temperatures. When pressure drops, critical components such as crankshaft bearings, camshafts and turbochargers may not receive adequate lubrication, leading to increased friction, overheating, premature wear and, in severe cases, complete engine failure. Causes include low oil levels, a failing oil pump, a blocked pickup strainer, incorrect oil viscosity or worn internal engine components. Never ignore an oil pressure warning light. Stop the engine and have the lubrication system professionally inspected before continuing to drive. Visit us today for proper diagnosis and servicing at any of our branches. WhatsApp or call us on 0708455455 or 0712455455.

In direct injection engines, fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber rather than passing over the intake valves. This means the valves don't receive the same fuel-washing effect found in port injection engines, allowing oil vapours and other deposits to accumulate over time. As carbon deposits build up, they can restrict airflow, affect engine performance, cause rough idling, hesitation and reduced fuel efficiency.
The challenge is that these deposits may develop gradually, making them difficult to notice until performance is affected.
Proper diagnosis is important before deciding on any cleaning procedure. Not every performance issue is caused by carbon build-up.
Did you know your car needs a ADAs calibration after a windscreen repair or replacement. Modern vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which use cameras and radar sensors to support functions such as lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control and collision alerts.
When a windscreen is replaced or certain body repairs are carried out, these sensors and cameras may be disturbed or their alignment affected. Without proper calibration, these systems may provide inaccurate readings or fail to respond as intended. That's why calibration is just as important as the repair itself. Restoring the vehicle's appearance is not enough; its safety systems must also function correctly.
At Precision Automotive, we believe in looking beyond the visible repair and ensuring that modern vehicle technology is properly attended to.

Your alternator is responsible for generating electricity and keeping your battery charged while the engine is running. During rainy or humid conditions, moisture can contribute to corrosion around electrical connections, affect wiring terminals and accelerate wear on certain components.
This can lead to charging irregularities, warning lights or electrical problems.
Regular inspection of the alternator, wiring and battery connections helps identify potential issues before they develop into bigger problems.
At Precision Automotive, we believe proper electrical diagnosis goes beyond simply replacing a faulty component. It’s about identifying the actual cause of the problem. Dial us today 0708455455.

I spend time conducting in-depth research on engine oils because I believe that choosing the right oil goes beyond simply picking a brand. It is about understanding specifications, formulations, additives and how different oils perform in different engines and operating conditions.
My goal is to ensure that every client gets the right product, the best quality and the protection their engine deserves. At @PrecisionAutoKE , we believe that proper maintenance starts with making informed decisions, not just following trends or recommendations without understanding them.
When ambient temperatures rise, your radiator has to work harder to release engine heat. A faulty radiator cap can affect system pressure, old or contaminated coolant reduces protection, blocked radiators restrict heat transfer, and a malfunctioning thermostat can disrupt coolant circulation. Regular cooling system inspections help prevent overheating and expensive engine damage. At Precision Automotive, we ensure your cooling system is ready to handle changing weather conditions.
