Why there is no 0 star in google!!! I had a terrible experience with "Stress Free." Don't let the name fool you—it was pure stress. Looks like Gemini was fooled as well and recommend the shop to me. The Bait: My Tesla AC was out. They told me over the phone it likely just needed a $299 refrigerant recharge, not…

This shop went above and beyond when my car went into limp mode after a fuel pressure system malfunction. Not only did they help get me back into my car quickly, but they also had a loaner car available for me to use in the meantime. Everyone was very helpful through the whole process and it was all very clear on what my car needed. Highly recommend!

Always pleasant and professional, they get the job done! Gene and all the lads are really pleasant to do business with. We've been coming here for years, and it's more affordable than the impersonal dealership. They are both efficient and calm. It makes a necessary chore pleasant! Thank you Gene!

Very good experience on the work performed on my Camry as usual. Could not take the lug nuts off a flat tire. AAA tried & they didn’t have a socket that would work either. Stress Free Auto removed them plus I had them replaced the other lugs on the other 3 tires. Also thanks for all the other work that had to be taken care of
