I suggested to James Lund. to go to Stress-Free Auto Care for a second time! Reported all good things like: no cutting corners and competitive pricing ; plus a courtesy, complimentary ,Lyft-ride back to the shop when the vehicle was ready for safe driving.
Brought my 2023 RAV4 in for a brake squeak. The service was very organized, transparent, and professional — they provided a clear inspection report, told me straight the brakes were safe with nothing urgent, and left the fix decision to me with no pressure.
The team was professional and very detailed. The price was right and they did not give me a hard time for not doing all the recommended services. Excellent Service and will take all my cars there going forward.
- Came in for engine light and got back with engine light still on after paying $6,800 with $500 discount, total was $7,300 for my 2006 Toyota Sienna LE. (The car itself probably worths $4,000 today). - Finally got the car fixed and the second repair fee waived. Staff was friendly and service was good when they were able to identify the real cause.
It was great to get updates throughout the time that the job was being done. Super friendly service as well.
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.
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…
I had a really good experience here. I initially brought my car in for an oil change and a brake inspection. They did a thorough digital vehicle inspection and actually found some extra issues I wasn't aware of. Because of the additional work, it took a little longer than I originally thought it would, but I really…
Amazing experience. Friendly service from beginning to end. Stress-Free Auto Care truly is a stress free place.
The service uses the technology in a very professional way. You are able to observe what is going on as if you were staying near your car. Pictures, reports, and process steps are posted through SMS and emails during working on your car. By the way, the cost is quite reasonable so you should not miss it if you want to get a hassle-free service.
Have brought 2 of my XL cargo vans to get work done. So far they’ve done a very well job. I trust their work. Will be back. Thanks to the team
Their texting system and complimentary service check saves a ton of time. I love how they give you access to their shop cam, too. Gene and the rest of the crew are awesome and go out of their way to accommodate anything that comes up.
Really great service, super nice staff and affordable rates. Highly recommended!
Not many auto shops work on classic cars these days however this shop does and I will continue to bring my cars to this shop. Gene's customer service is the best!
They really do take a lot of the stress and guesswork out of car repair, an experienc I've been craving since I first started driving.
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!
Gene is at Stevens Creek Blvd location in San Jose and really cares about the customer...he made certain that my car was road worthy....safe and in the best condition before it left the shop. My Master Cylinder was failing....which the shop I had taken it to 1 month previous, ( to be checked out because I'm a…

Great business! Dependable friendly and organized! Everyone is caring about you and your vehicle! If there were ten stars I’d give them that! They are also great at following up as well! They have reasonable competitive pricing also! The waiting room is even comfortable! If you’re having major work done they send…
