I made an appointment for a multi-point digital inspection. I wanted to make sure if anything needed to be replaced. Initial basic inspection which are the exterior lights passed. Under hood engine oil, transmission & brake fluids. Battery & brakes is good. All suspension components is all good. There's more the the inspection that I did not list but everything passed. I was worried I would have to replace parts due to wear and tear which is normal due to constant use of any vehicle. I'll be back in a year or two which is wh... read more

Thursday January 26 I went in to Stress Free Auto Care and initiated my appointment with Jon Franco the General Manager, who is both professional and friendly. I like the shop and I am sure the peaceful interior is part of the reason. Charles worked on my car again and I like how he listens to my concerns. He is good at his job. In addition , Jon is very patient with me as I ask a lot of questions. I will be back for my other part of the service because I chose this way and Jon is working with me. It's a "gem" on the hill. I... read more

I took my Chrysler town and country here after it was having issues . This place really surpassed my expectations with easy to make appointment, fast service, and pictures of all items being replaced sent in a easy to view text message even had a 24 7 camera view of your car being serviced. My car was only in the shop for 24 hours and back home driving great I have no complaints ! Will definitely return.

Reverse Gear stopped working so I called Stress free auto care about it and luckily they were able to take it same day. I brought my 2003 Zo6 Corvette in for a diagnosis and estimate. The GM Jon was there working at the front desk and was very helpful with getting my car in to be looked at. The team provided a very detailed estimate for me the following day. the diagnosis for my car wasn't great but Jon & his team did a great job being straightforward with what's wrong with my transmission and clutch and broke down what my o... read more

To repair an oil leak, they replaced the head gasket (which is expensive - $500 - because they have to remove the engine head to replace the gasket, and that's complicated -- I had it done years ago on another car, and it was the same thing). They did a good job and kept me informed by email messages at every step of the way - including pictures of the things they were checking and repairing. They also fixed a minor transmission oil leak -- this was free as it was covered under the warranty for the transmission they replaced... read more

I had a problem shifting out of 4wd back to 2wd. It was the first time it had even been moved into 4wd. I took it to 2 mechanics, they said I needed a transmission guy. I went to this transmission shop that is now stress-free auto care. If I knew they weren't even a tranny shop, I would've left then. They went over multiple times the issue, multiple times the process, very redundant. A week later, I received an email with a quote and some pics. The quote totaled $8000 for my 2005 jeep. The 2 options were 1 to rebuild the tra... read more

I recently provided a negative review of Keith's transmission specialist in Castro valley, particularly in regards to general manager Jon Franco, however, after further later conversations with Mr. Franco and a more detailed explanation Mr. Franco was most helpful regarding the needed repairs and pricing of these repairs for my vehicle. Mr. Franco was quite forthcoming on understanding and importance of customer satisfaction and graciously resolved our dispute and misunderstanding, I was pleased and thankful for Mr. Franco's... read more
