The service is great, but the prices are high. The prices are comparable to taking my vehicle to the dealership mechanics.

Great quality, upfront pricing and super fast response time! My car was fixed on the same day and the price was cheaper than what I expected for that service

Jeremy was super accommodating to a time crunch situation. I am from out of town, andI needed an oil change. He was able to fit me in the very next morning at the exact time I needed. Within one hour I was in and out and that included a full vehicle inspection.

Stress Free Auto Care is anything but stress-free. This shop perfectly embodies the stereotypical shady mechanic. They bombard you with a flood of overly wordy text messages all within a 10-minute span, making it difficult to keep track of critical information. Hidden among these texts is a link to the estimate. At first glance, it shows the quote you agreed to and signed off on at the shop, but buried in the back is a separate page with additional services. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for transparent ... read more

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our goal is to provide clear communication, and we understand how multiple messages can be overwhelming. We will review our process to ensure that all information is more easily digestible and transparent. Regarding the estimate, we do strive to ensure our customers are fully informed about any additional services or options, but we will make sure that these are presented more clearly in the future. We value your input and ... read more

My engine was suffering from an oil leak, and they quickly diagnose the issue and set me up with a remediation plan. I was able to make an appointment a couple days later and the issue was resolved. I appreciate everything they did to get my car back in action and I would recommend them to others. Am thankful.

Matt is fantastic!! My oil light/check engine light went on earlier this year. Let it be said every time I've had a check engine light go on in the past it's entailed a recommendation for more involved 'diagnostics' and/or costly repairs. I've never had a car in SD before, so my friends recommended Allied Gardens/Matt. I am SO glad because 1) He inspected my car thoroughly and said nothing was wrong, got rid of the alarm (just a factory notification...but again, I've never had a factory notification triggered without a servi... read more

Outstanding shop! Matt helped me out big time when I got into an accident a few months ago, they replaced a strut, control arm, and patched together my bumper. Another shop had told me that I needed new engine mounts so I asked them to replace these too, but Allied Gardens found that I just had a few bolts loose. They could've charged me the $800 to replace them and I would've never known but they were completely honest. I'm a former lube and brake tech so I do small maintenance myself, but I will only be going to Allied Gar... read more

Had a lot of bad experiences with the Kia dealership I typically go to. After spending hundreds of dollars just on "diagnostics"(none of which ended up being the problem) I decided to try out Allied Gardens Automotive and I wish I came here with all my previous vehicles. Matt and his service techs were able to figure out what was going on and able to get everything fixed the day they got the parts. The communication is excellent, you can call and ask any questions and get a very detailed response every time. Very happy I bro... read more
