This really IS stress free auto care haha made an appointment online to check my tire and hopefully repair it. The online system was super easy to use and told me who would be at the shop when I got there. The guys were very quick, communicative and it was $65 for them to take off my donut, repair my tire and put it back on. Totally reasonable and the place is clean, well lit, etc.. 

Business response:

Thanks for the awesome review — we’re so glad to hear your experience truly lived up to the *Stress-Free* name (and gave you a laugh too)! It’s great that the online booking was easy and that our team was able to get your tire repaired quickly and at a fair price. We know how stressful car trouble can be, so hearing this kind of feedback means a lot. We’ll be here anytime you need us — thanks again for choosing us, and safe driving out there!

Stress free auto care has to be one of the most honest mechanic shops out there when I arrived there I was greeted by friendly faces and clear cut prices they take pictures of everything they inspect and give you recommendations on the things that need to be replaced delivered to you in a PDF file that makes it really easy for the customers to understand what their car needs a five star review isn't enough I would give them a 10 star review if I could I tell all my friends and family to take their car here and none of them h... read more

I brought my car to Stress-Free Auto Care in San Mateo and was blown away by the experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff were professional, transparent, and genuinely friendly.

Was in for an oil change and new filter. Unfortunately, my coupon had expired, but they generously honored me with another promotion and gave me a great price. Very satisfied with their service and the included free inspections.

AMAZING service and a wonderful facility . They were so kind , got me in quickly and had AC, couch, WiFi, coffee and a bathroom! There was no pressure to get anything else done besides my tire repair . They did a fantastic job and thoroughly made sure I would have no issues with a leak after I left. I cannot recommend them more!!
