ANDY KACIC, PRESIDENT OF PRECISION AUTO LTD., HAS SUCCESSFULLY OWNED AND OPERATED BUSINESSES IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY FOR OVER A QUARTER OF A CENTURY. 

ANDY AND HIS WIFE, MARIA, WERE BORN AND RAISED IN CROATIA AND IMMIGRATED TO CANADA IN 1971.  THEY WORKED HARD AT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT JOBS TO MAKE ENDS MEET, BUT ANDY’S PASSION WAS ALWAYS FOR MECHANICS.  THIS PASSION LED HIM TO A POSITION AS A MECHANIC/TECHNICIAN FOR C.P. AIR WHERE HE WORKED FOR 12 YEARS. 

BY THE EARLY 1980’S, ANDY WAS REPAIRING VEHICLES OUT OF HIS HOME GARAGE AS A SIDE INCOME AND ENJOYED IT SO MUCH THAT HE SOON OPENED HIS OWN MECHANICS SHOP.  ANDY AND MARIA ENJOYED A SUCCESSFUL AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS “KACIC MOTORS LTD.” FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS UNTIL THEY DECIDED TO SELL IT IN 1994 TO SEMI-RETIRE.  

THE KACICS MOVED FROM COQUITLAM, BC TO PEACHLAND, BC IN 1995 WHEN ANDY WAS ASKED TO HELP MANAGE PRECISION AUTO.  IT WASN’T LONG BEFORE ANDY’S PRESENCE AND INPUT ENHANCED BUSINESS ENOUGH THAT THE COMPANY NEEDED TO HIRE ANOTHER TECHNICIAN.  ANDY CONVINCED HIS OLDEST SON, DAVOR KACIC, TO LEAVE HIS JOB AS A TECHNICIAN AT A DEALERSHIP IN COQUITLAM, BC AND MOVE UP TO THE OKANAGAN TO JOIN THE PRECISION AUTO TEAM.

 THE KACIC FAMILY DECIDED TO PURCHASE PRECISION AUTO AND HAVE OPERATED THE BUSINESS FOR OVER NINE YEARS NOW, WITH ANDY AS MANAGER/TECHNICIAN, DAVOR AS TECHNICIAN, AND MARIA  AS BOOKKEEPER.  IN 2004, ANOTHER KACIC FAMILY MEMBER, YOUNGEST SON DANNY, JOINED THE PRECISION AUTO TEAM AS THE ASSISTANT MANAGER,  SERVICE writer AND MANAGER OF THE MOTORSPORTS COMPANY.  THE COMPANY'S WEBSITE WAS DEVELOPED IN 2005 BY DANNY AND HIS WIFE, AMY, WHO CONTINUES TO MANAGE THE SITE.  LATE IN 2005, DAVOR STEPPED AWAY FROM REPAIRING VEHICLES TO TEAM UP WITH BROTHER DANNY AS CO-MANAGERS OF PRECISION AUTO.  THIS HAS ENABLED ANDY TO HAVE MORE LEISURE TIME WITH HIS WIFE AND FIVE GRANDCHILDREN. 

In July of 2005, Precision Auto Ltd. expanded to a new location. Precision Automotive and the Kacic family have been blessed with such loyal customers, that you gave us the opportunity to move to a location that enables us to better service your automotive needs.

The company’s image has been updated with a new logo, website, and the inclusion of our motorsports company under the same roof.

The new Precision Automotive Ltd. is now housed in a larger, state-of-the-art building specifically designed with our customers’ needs in mind. There is now more specialized equipment, a comfortable foyer, and also a retail showroom for the motorsports company.
