I returned for a service, replacing my struts. I checked to make sure they honored my original quote and they did, which after checking with my mechanic friends was a good price. Everyone is friendly and super helpful. If like me, you wait, the waiting area and bathroom is clean. I like how transparent the pricing is, how helpful the people are and I like having a repair shop that I can trust. 

Business response:

It’s great to know our transparent approach and detailed diagnostics made the experience easier and more in your control. That’s exactly what we aim for: clear info, no pressure, and a team that truly listens to what *you* need. We're so glad you found us and hope every visit continues to feel just as stress-free. Thanks again, and have a wonderful Stress-Free day!

Everyone at stress-free was extremely friendly and courteous and kept me updated on the status of my car . We did have an issue with crediting credit card with a discount, but with continued persistence, Brad got it done. Thank you Don​na

I was looking for a place to complete a quick oil change... And just an oil change - no upselling other services or any funky business. I found Stress- Free Auto Care. With the name itself, I had to try it out. They conduct a full detailed multi-point digital inspection of your car which will tells you what they suggest you get repaired. They give you their price point and you can choose if you want it done or not. The oil change was fairly priced and service was completed in under an hour - truly a stress free experience.

Business response:

That’s exactly the kind of experience we love to hear about — thank you for sharing it! We’re all about giving you the info you need without the pressure, so it’s great to know the multi-point inspection felt informative (not pushy) and that your oil change was quick, smooth, and fairly priced. Sounds like Brad and the smooth jazz really sealed the deal! We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to see you again next time. Have a wonderful Stress-Free day!

I am very pleased with Stress-Free Auto. I came in with a banging sound going over bumps. I thought it was a bad shock. They took my 17' Hyundai with over 124 k miles and made it drive like new. They took care of everything. The list of services is too long to make someone read. They rebuilt the entire suspension system, and many other items, alinement, breaks etc. Great pricing, service and friendly staff. I highly recommend this shop to everyone. Stress-Free Auto in now my go to shop for car care. 

Business response:

Thank you so much for this fantastic feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that your Hyundai is riding like new again — that’s exactly what we love to hear after a big suspension job and all the extra care that went into it. It means a lot to know you felt taken care of from start to finish, both with the service and the pricing. We’re honored to be your go-to shop moving forward, and we truly appreciate the recommendation. We’ll be here anytime you need us. Have a wonderful Stress-Free day!

In my previous visit, I had skipped a few of the most pricey recommended repairs, so when they gave me a small discount if I made an appt online to do one or more of these skipped repairs, I decided to take advantage of it. I'm glad I did, my car runs better, it feels better even though I know I need more repairs. I'm just happy to know I have a good, honest repair shop to go to.

I needed a 90K mileage service, so I googled car repair places close to home. I looked at reviews and comments for Stress-free and liked the idea of transparent pricing, I made an appt. My service guy and technician were very helpful and listened to my concerns. The diagnostic paperwork provides details like whether the repair is based upon actual need or damage, they include pictures or descriptions of damage seen during the inspection, or if the repair is based upon age or timing. This allowed me to choose only those ... read more

I am soooo happy with the service I received on 9/29/25. I got clear answers about my vehicle, what was and wasn't wrong with it. I was given an easy to understand list about my vehicle in order of concern. My truck was making a noise only heard at freeway speeds that only started after I had gone to another well known "Complete Auto Care" shop in La Mesa. Stress-Free was able to get it sorted out quickly. I left their shop with confidence that my truck was in good hands. I will recommend this shop to anyone looking for grea... read more

This is such a fantastic review—thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re *so* glad you came to us and that the team was able to give you clear answers, an easy-to-understand game plan, and most importantly—real peace of mind. Those hard-to-pin-down noises can be frustrating (especially when they show up after another shop visit), so it’s great to hear we got it sorted out quickly and made you feel confident in the process. That’s exactly what we aim for with every visit. Thanks again for the recommenda... read more
