I used to take my Hyundai Elantra here, and my husband started to take his Mazda3 here too after my experience. I hadn't needed to come for a while after switching cars but recently brought my Rivian to get the tire patched - they were super fast! They explained that there would be an extra labor charge for lifting up the Rivian, and what I could buy to have on hand to avoid the extra labor if there's ever another case where a shop doesn't already have it. I really appreciate getting emails and texts with pictures and update... read more

Consistent, efficient, affordable. There is just one lingering issue that they weren't able to address because they weren't able to recreate the problem, however the sound is persistent. But overall, they have been great for our cars over the years.

We’re sorry we haven’t been able to pinpoint the lingering noise yet, but we understand how frustrating it can be when a concern persists.

Exceptionally amazing service!! We took my sister's mini cooper to Stress-Free Auto Care for the first time the car needed oil change, brake change, and a few other jobs done Neal helped us; he was extremely knowledgeable about all the issues with the car I thought the fixes were going to take 5 hours but they were all done in less than 3 hours! The car runs great now I'm so glad I found this place. I'll definitely be coming back Highly recommended!

I came in for an oil change and had some squeaking with my brakes so I needed a brake inspection done as well. They finished the inspection and oil change in about two hours and since I needed new brakes they waived the fee for the inspection. Very thorough service and Raymond at the front was very nice. They sent constant updates and everything is electronically tracked with the full breakdown of each service. I would say that service per hour is a little pricey but it's fair for the quality. 

Business response:

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We’re glad Raymond and the team took great care of you and were able to complete both your oil change and brake inspection efficiently. We’re also happy you found our inspection process, electronic updates, and detailed service breakdown helpful in understanding the work your vehicle needed. We appreciate your feedback regarding the pricing as well. We understand that quality service is an important investment, and we work hard to provide thorough inspections, c... read more

Stress-Free was just that ... easy to make an appointment; they keep in contact with you both through email and text (my favorite). They have a very easy-to-use way of approving updated estimates on your phone. And the service was done quickly! The front office is roomy and inviting ... easy parking even on El Camino Real. Highly recommend!

I had scheduled a tire rotation for 3:00 p.m. Upon my arrival, I was informed that the service would require two hours, which I presumed was due to a backlog. This extended timeframe for a routine tire rotation was unexpected. However, the front desk representative proactively intervened, stating, "Let me see what I can do." As a result, an immediate service was arranged, and I was able to depart within 30 minutes. 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your experience! We appreciate your patience and understanding upon arrival. While there was an unexpected delay in timing, we’re glad our front desk team was able to step in and get your tire rotation completed much sooner than anticipated. Providing prompt, helpful service and finding solutions in real time is exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate your feedback and your trust in Stress Free Auto Care. Thank you for choosing us—we look forward to serving you again!
