I recently stopped by, requesting for a general inspection to be done on my car. This is a small but mighty shop. I was surprised with how friendly and informative the service advisor and technician were on updating me about my car. I was also impressed with how thorough, organized, and quick their reporting process was. Finding a great mechanic to help with repairs and maintenance seems hard to find these days, really glad to have them around and looking forward to returning to for a booked service.
Business response:
Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed review! We’re really glad you stopped by and that your experience left such a positive impression. It’s awesome to hear that our small but mighty shop delivered the kind of friendly, informative, and thorough care you were hoping for. We take a lot of pride in keeping our reporting process clear and efficient, so it’s great to know that stood out to you too. Finding a trustworthy mechanic really *can* be tough — and we’re honored to be that place for you. We can’t wait to s... read more
I felt like the price was very fair. They were willing to work with me, as I only wanted them to do part of the work the car needed. They also were very accommodating of my schedule, and worked to get my car back as good as new. Highly recommend.

Blake is a terrific front desk guy to welcome you to Stress Free. They were fast and efficient and reasonably priced. I will be recommending them to other people where I live and look forward to continuing my car care there where I have been a previous client before they took over.

This place is great! My service provider Blake took the time to explain everything and make me feel welcome. It's so easy to make an appointment via their website. Lots of availability. They run a complimentary diagnostic on your vehicle then provide a comprehensive report complete with photos. No hard sells either. I took my 2013 VW Jetta 2.5 SE in for a leaky valve cover gasket and engine air filter replacement. There's a $180 fee to investigate the leak but they waive that fee when the repair is performed. They did a grea... read more

I had an unplanned repair while visiting San Diego to visit my daughter at college. Stress-free was very responsive and got me taken care of. Highly recommend to anybody looking for repairs or regular vehicle maintenance!

I've taken my car here twice. The second time was because I had a problem with my car. My experience there has been pretty good. The service advisors were very nice and professional. I never felt like they were trying to push any unnecessary services or that they were over charging me for anything. I love the texting feature. It makes it easy to communicate while I'm at work. Overall, a good experience with stress free auto, and I'll continue taking my car there for services.

We’re grateful for your trust and can’t wait to see you again for your next visit! Thank you and have a wonderful Stress-Free day!
Responded quickly to all inquiries. Polite and pleasant customer service. A detailed diagnosis report was provided at a reasonable cost. They had my car returned as soon as they could.
Business response:

Went in for an AC relay to be replaced. They charged $100-$200 less than the competition. Repair only took a couple of hours. Extremely satisfied.
Business response:
So glad we could help get that AC relay taken care of quickly and at a solid price! It’s awesome to hear we came in under the competition and still got you back on the road in just a couple of hours. Thanks so much for the kind words—we’re thrilled to know you left extremely satisfied. Thank you and have a wonderful Stress-Free day!
