This is our favorite place to take our car in for repairs and maintenance, especially thanks to Oscar, our service rep. Stress Free Auto Care and Oscar provides incredibly honest, friendly service with no pressure to upsell or unnecessary repairs/parts. They deliver reliable and quality repairs with a quick turnaround and a warm, welcoming atmosphere at very affordable rates. I usually accompany my mom to any auto repair shop out of concern she might be taken advantage of, but here, they treat and speak to her just like as t... read more

I recently had a bad experience with Stress-Free Auto Shop in San Mateo. I scheduled an appointment online for a regular car maintenance on June 1st. I dropped my keys into their designated drop-box because I had to walk to work an hour before and I thought it was the most sensible thing to do. Upon calling to confirm receipt of my keys, I was met with utter confusion. Apparently, they had no record of my appointment. After calling them three times throughout the day, they finally acknowledged that the keys were in the drop-... read more

I recently tried Stress-Free Auto Care for the first time for a couple of different services on my car and I will be using them again in the future. They offer very easy scheduling online and have a good range of available time slots. After dropping off your car you will be updated on each stage of the service and you can even peek in using their web cam. I worked with Sanjeev and he was very courteous and professional, explaining everything and did not pressure me for anything additional. The prices for their services are v... read more

First time here & very impressed! As you walk in it smells so pleasant, like walking into a spa. They don't take the name of the business lightly. Was greeted by Sanjeev - so friendly & professional. He quoted an hour to one hour & a half for an oil change for my Volvo. I'm on crutches so my husband & I just waited at their very clean & cozy waiting area. There was complimentary Keurig coffee. So impressed by the free multi point inspection which included some photos & listed work needing urgent attention at the top of the l... read more

One of the biggest worries people have with auto shops is knowing if they are being scammed. Based on the other yelp reviews, I took my 2016 GTI for a full service. Thankfully, they pretty much live up to their name. Shout out to Oscar for being friendly and knowledgeable! This company sends you a full inspection report with photos and quotes for each potential repair/service, and ranks them based on how urgent they should be fixed. I was initially quoted to replace a head gasket, but upon further inspection, they called me ... read more
