Built on Mechanical Truth and Craftsmanship
We started Apex Precision with one foundational rule: treat every customer's car like our own family is riding in the passenger seat.
Our Journey from a Two-Bay Garage to Lakewood's Top Independent Facility
Founded in the autumn of 1998 by lead technician Mike Vance, Apex Precision Auto Care began as a humble two-bay service station on Industrial Park Parkway. After spending twelve years as a dealership diagnostic lead, Mike saw firsthand how dealership service advisors were pressured to hit sales quotas and upsell unnecessary flushes.
He envisioned a different model: a clean, tech-forward repair facility where mechanics are paid fair, dignified salaries instead of commission bonuses on parts sales. When our technicians evaluate your brakes or suspension, their only objective is your safety and the longevity of your vehicle.
Today, Apex Precision has grown into a modern 8-bay facility equipped with OEM-certified diagnostic computers, Hunter laser alignment racks, and rotary vehicle lifts. While our equipment has evolved, our core promise remains unchanged: transparent digital inspections, honest timelines, and repairs backed by our 3-year nationwide guarantee.
Our Four Shop Commitments
Non-Commissioned Technicians
Our mechanics earn fixed hourly salaries, not sales commissions. You will never be sold a flush, filter, or replacement part you do not genuinely need.
Digital Transparency First
We never ask you to take our word for it. You receive photos and measurement gauges of your brake pads, fluid tests, and worn belts directly on your smartphone.
OEM-Grade Replacement Parts
We only install original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or top-tier certified aftermarket components (Bosch, Brembo, Bilstein, NGK, Gates) that meet or exceed factory specs.
3-Year / 36,000-Mile Warranty
We stand firmly behind our work. Our warranty is honored at more than 17,000 certified repair facilities across North America.
