Omar was great to walking me through the comprehensive inspection on my vehicle, going over each of the items identified. No pushy sale, just the facts! Definitely recommend. One caveat, I have not decided on which item to be repaired/replaced, since some of the work I will do myself. The rest, I will definitely bring it in to have the work done. 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad Omar’s walkthrough of the inspection made things clear and that you appreciated the no-pressure approach. It’s great to hear you felt comfortable deciding what to handle yourself and what to bring back to us. We truly appreciate the recommendation. Have a wonderful Stress-Free day!

My truck's AC was no longer working (the fan was not blowing the cold air). I work during the week so my wife and I were trying to find a shop to fix it on a Saturday around noon. After many phone calls and visits to shops in Hayward (turns out alot of shops are "open" on Saturday but don't actually do repairs on the weekend) we called Stress Free Auto Care. They said they were available to work on it same day. We drove there and they took a look right away and showed us the broken part. They gave us an estimate and fixed it... read more

My 1997 Honda Civic had failed the smog test at a different location than Stress-Free. Even though I was not able to have my Honda serviced at Stress-Free due to rules governing repair of failed smog vehicles, they had responded to my yelp request. They gave me some very good info and seemed to genuinely care about my situation. In the future when I need auto work done Stress-Free will be my first choice! 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing that—it really means a lot to us! Even though we couldn’t perform the repair in this case, we’re glad the information we provided was helpful and that you felt we genuinely cared about your situation. We’ll be here whenever you’re ready for future service. Have a wonderful Stress-Free day!

Stress-Free Auto Care in Castro Valley, CA is a wonderful place where I've just had annual service done on my 2013 Ford Focus Titanium and my 2013 Mini-Cooper Roadster. My experience with both cars was excellent with efficient, accurate, reasonably-priced work. I'll be going back there on a regular basis, highly recommend them.

We’re so glad to hear that both of your cars were well taken care of — thank you for sharing! It's great to know the service was efficient, accurate, and reasonably priced, just the way it should be.

Brought car in for 100,000 mile checkup. Outstanding customer service. We were consistently informed as work progressed. Omar called us to consult and advise us about additional issues encountered that were not part of original estimate. Gave us options to proceed or decline any additional work outside of original estimate . Provided revised estimates as needed. Completely professional. 

Business response:

Thanks so much for this thoughtful and detailed feedback! We’re really glad to hear your 100,000-mile checkup went smoothly and that you felt informed and supported throughout the process. Omar will be thrilled to know his communication and professionalism stood out—giving options without pressure is exactly how we aim to do things.
