I highly recommend this place! The price is cheap, the service is good, and it's open on Sundays, so it's easy to access. And I can trust you because they send to me simple inspection that needs to be replaced with photos and text messages. I will continue to use this place.
Overall great experience with Tires Unlimited/Stress-Auto Care. I have taken several different vehicles for routine (and non-routine) maintenance over several years and always provided with honest and expected information about repairs needed. Price point does vary depending on the work being done, and that's…
I came in two days ago in hopes to get an issue with my coolant repaired. At first I just wanted to get a feel for this business as it was my first ever visit and I found the place through an online search. I went in about an hour before closing time and there was only one other customer who was waiting to pickup…
I had a flat tire and needed immediate attention. Stress free was available to have my car checked for repair. The tires weren’t repairable. They found tires and ordered them for the next day. The folks in the shop sound very genuine and recommend only necessary items and try to find ways to save money. I appreciate…
The service was professional, honest, and efficient. Dropped my car off after work and picked it up the following afternoon. They give you a complete breakdown of your car, what is good and what needs to be fixed. My car was taken care of quickly, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this auto care shop!
They were incredibly nice and helpful and kept me updated with the services! I return to them any time I need maintenance!!
I had an outstanding experience at Stress-Free Auto Service in San Jose. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, professional, and genuinely focused on making the entire process easy and hassle-free. They clearly explained what my vehicle needed, never tried to upsell unnecessary repairs, and kept me…
I came here yesterday after the dealership played games with me on the “maintenance plan” I bought leaving me unable to get my car serviced to sell. I was desperately asking around to see where could fit me in same day and the guys at Stress Free Auto Care got my car taken care of that same afternoon no hesitation…
Took my. Car in with piece of mine. Everything was mostly done that was agreed apon. Minus the new curb rash on one of my wheels in front. I was pleased by the service and speed.
Just like the name says it...stress free. I love that they provide pictures and explinations of what needs to be done and why. I will definitely be coming back again.
I have trusted the mechanics of Stress-Free Auto Care / Tires Unlimited for more than 30 years, and they are the best shop I have ever dealt with every visit.They have serviced all the vehicles I have owned, including regular inspections, routine maintenance, and oil changes, warranty work and they have provided me…
had a great experience with this shop. They fixed my car quickly and made the whole process completely stress-free. The quality of the parts and work was solid, and everything was explained clearly What really stood out was how much they went out of their way to help they even arranged and paid for an Uber so I…
This has been my go-to place forever. When I started way back I thought it was just tires(great and always good price) but they do EVERYTHING, so that’s what I do. Can’t beat the customer service; always friendly, helpful, thorough, and great price.
Stress Free Auto Care: Just had my vehicles (all fluids) changed preventive maintenance completed yesterday and they were very efficient. They cost me more than I wanted to spend. But not by too much $1000 ended up paying $1180. But they did my Transmission Service, Differential, Coolant, Brakes, and Transfer Case.…
Great experience all around. I appreciated the $15 credit for Lyft! My van was done several hours earlier than anticipated. Communication is excellent.
This is a great shop, my always go to, they are efficient, professional, and friendly; highly recommended.
Stress free is our go-to for any mechanical needs. Recently took my Prius in after the catalytic converter was stolen and they made the whole process a breeze and even worked with our insurance. They always make the process so seamless and they operate with transparency through the entire process, sending you…
Great experience! They were very responsive via email when I was looking for Michelin tires that weren't available on their website. Throughput the process they were responsive via email, text and phone call. Pricing transparency is what we need more of! Oh they also offered a discount with the road hazard…
I can’t recommend Stress Free Auto Care enough! Every visit to the Stevens Creek Boulevard location has been a seamless, hassle-free experience. While Gene may not know me personally (he sees a lot of customers!), he has consistently provided exceptional customer service—always friendly, never pushy, and completely…
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!
