I scanned my vehicle before I dropped it by for a diagnostic check with stress-free. They replied back with exactly what my scan had stated which was Banks one and two were running lean. Shortly after dropping it off, I got my detailed analysis, followed by a link that let me watch the work being done livetime. Thought I was going to end up paying a lot more than I did. 2006 F-150. Never been in the shop. I figured I was going to pay big time... I was due. Darin and George we're straight shooters, so I'm a satisfied cust... read more

The techs here are polite and proficient. I did feel like the secondary issues that I was trying to address were largely ignored, and the hourly rates here are more than double comparable shops in the area. So I'm not sure how stress free it is as an experience. I thought I would check it out due to the reviews I was seeing. I just wasn't all that impressed.
Business response:
