Went in for a deflating tire that had run over a screw. They took me in in no time and got my car up and running within an hour. Excellent service, really nice staff, nice lounge with amenities. 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad we could help get that tire taken care of quickly and get you back on the road without any hassle. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the lounge and felt comfortable while waiting. We’ll pass your kind words along to the team—they’ll really appreciate it! Thank you, and have a wonderful Stress-Free day!

I was referred to this auto shop by my online tire store for installation. The staffs were very professional, the manager is exceptional. He has eyes on everything. Every little detail. They are lucky to have him. The online store didn't confirm with Stress-free, but, they made it work and I didn't have an appointment, as I was not notified and required to have one. Thus, I am basically a walk-in. Nevertheless, I was treated professionally and asked to be patient and I understand my situation. The waiting area is very nice, ... read more

I recently visited Stress Free Auto Care in San Mateo for a wheel alignment, and unfortunately, the experience was anything but stress-free. I was given an appointment time of 9:00 AM and arrived promptly, only to have my vehicle sit untouched until 11:30 AM. I had to sit there in person for a wasteful 2.5-hour delay that could have been entirely avoided with proper scheduling. While they're quick to respond to Yelp messages, the actual service management is a different story. When I inquired about the excessive wait, I was ... read more

Although this place is convenient and is stress free to take my cars, this time around it wasn't as informative or proactive on customer service. Unfortunately, they charged me twice for a diagnostic check for 2 different concerns. I understand but I didn't think it a reasonable way to service. My other go to repair shop would have done a 1 charge or not even charge. Only reason I brought it here was convenience and closer to home, needed immediate service on a weekend instead driving across the bridge. As for repair feedbac... read more

Business response:
