We use latest data from solar system planetary orbital motions to put constraints on some Galileon-induced precessional effects. Due to the Vainshtein mechanism, the Galileon-type spherically symmetric field of a monopole induces a small, screened correction proportional to root r to the r(-1) Newtonian potential which causes a secular precession of the pericenter of a test particle. In the case of our solar system,latest data from Mars allow to constrain the magnitude of such an interaction down to alpha <= 0.3level, where alpha corresponds to the non minimal coupling of the Galileon to matter. Another Galileon-type effect which might impact solar system dynamics is due to an unscreened constant gradient induced by the peculiar motion of the Galaxy. The magnitude of such an effect, depending on the different gravitational binding energies of the Sun and the planets, taken into account by xi, is xi <= 0.004 from the latest bounds on the supplementary perihelion precession of Saturn.
