Says free digital inspection but when you call they say you need to do an oil change or some kind of service. False advertising. Bad start...

Work order # 230623 and how does that change your lack of quality and the up-charging and fraud your shop engages in. Let's be real you scam customers. Your business model is taking advantage of folks who trust you and that is so dishonest
Business response:
We take claims like this very serious , if you could email me the work order ,or provide a name that's been to our store ,I would love to review this.
I called to make an appointment and was quoted a price. 20 minutes later they said that the quote had not included labor (it was explicitly included). The following day they texted and said that the battery in their manual had the wrong parts number and it didn't fit. They said they had ordered a more expensive one that may or may not fit. (It didn't, and they offered an even more expensive one) I came and got my car and left. It felt very scammy to me. I found a competitor who offered to do the battery swap f... read more
I miss the Irish gentleman who used to run this place. Very decent prices, and zero surprises. The only surprise I would get was that he would say I don't need something done. My salute to the old school mechanics! Moving on.....
Business response:
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for the kind words about the old-school mechanics who built their reputation on honesty and fairness. We truly respect that tradition and carry those same values forward. At our shop, we’re committed to offering fair market prices and providing complete transparency in every assessment. We believe customers deserve all the information, not just parts of it — , not upselling, just honest guidance and quality work. We appreciate your feedback
I brought my car into Stress-Free Auto Care for a routine oil change and tire rotation. Instead, I was told I had an oil leak and that my front lower control arm bushings were torn and needed replacement. My car only had 37,000 miles on it, so I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being taken for a ride. The inspection report flagged the bushing issue in red, which pressured me into agreeing to the repair. I ended up spending a staggering $2,580. This was my first time visiting this shop--I usually go to the Subaru dealer... read more
Business response:
I never want a customer to leave our shop with any uncertainty about their repairs. That’s why we include detailed photos in every inspection report—to clearly identify any areas of concern or failure, just like the ones we provided to you. We stand behind every repair recommendation with visual evidence, because unlike some repair shops, we prioritize full transparency from start to finish. If you’d like to go over your repair order or inspection report, I’d be happy to discuss it with you at your convenience. You can reac... read more

Let's start off with what car I have, 2016 Honda Civic 1.5L Turbo. For the past four years or so I used an online mechanic that would come to your location, home or work. I was very happy with his service and detail. This year that company was bought out and the new company changed the way they did business. Even my mechanic left the company. So I decided to find a new mechanic. So I searched Yelp. There were a few choices, after a little research I decided to go with Stress Free Auto Care. I had to wait for the car to c... read more

Called to get a quote for low tire pressure light is on. Was told the vehicle needs to diagnose and fee is $123 which is already 50% off. The place is a scam
Business response:
We understand your concern, but just to clarify: air checks are always free at Stress-Free Auto Care — no appointment needed. However, if your low tire pressure light remains on even after tires are properly inflated, that points to a possible issue with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which requires a proper diagnostic. We can't afford to work for free, and our $123 diagnostic fee (already discounted 50%) covers the time, tools, and expertise needed to accurately identify the problem. We're transparent with our... read more
I never posted negative comments online for any business. I had to say every thing has its first. This is truly a very crooked place. They accepted my Yelp oil change/tire rotation request via email on Tue. (5/20/2025). A lady called me very next day and confirmed an appointment on Friday. During the phone conversation, she was offering so many other unrelated services that made me very uncomfortable already. During next a couple of days, they kept texting me for the confirmation and reminder of the Friday appointment. When ... read more
Business response:
