Stress-Free Auto Care for oil change

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.
Very easy and convenient service.
I appreciate the costomer service starting with the inspection process even when I am just coming in for an oil change because i know there's always something I can't see that is wrong. In fact they text pictures so I can see what the technician is seeing so I can make an informed decision. But even though they find…
If the jingle doesn’t hook you, the purple shirts definitely will. I was elated to learn there was a Stress Free in Santa Clara as I had positive experiences with the one in Milpitas when I lived there. Reasonable prices and service, especially compared to the neighboring dealerships. Quick drop off and…
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…
Quick, thorough, honest and great customer service! I'll definitely return next time I need maintenance or have an issue
Fabulous staff. Already love Triston, Ari & Phillip at the Stevens Creek office. Office was super flexible turning in my car to them and picking it up and the turn around time on the work was extremely impressive. Stress-Free has a new long-term customer in me. Other than a body shop, God forbid, no one else…
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!
I really appreciated the services provided. While there were a few hiccups along the way, the overall experience was positive. The team was kind, supportive, and professional, and I appreciated the range of services they offer. Overall, I’m grateful for the support and care I received.
Transparent pricing and good service
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…
First impression upon driving up is that of a tight happy crew. The radio was playing and you could hear the guys chatting with each other while they worked. That's the kind of shop atmosphere I want to see from the road! I had an appointment with my regular guy but something happened and his shop was totally…
In the last year, I have used two other shops to service my car and truck, just because they are closer to my house. One was an independent, and one was the dealer. In both instances, I felt used, misinformed, and generally dissatisfied. So I’m going to stick with Stress Free auto care on Stevens Creek. Every time I…
Probably won’t go again. Came in for a 9:30 oil change and alignment appointment and was told car would be ready by 11. Nearly 1:15, I call to check on the status of the car. They said they had trouble finding the keys and were gonna get started on it ASAP. Finally was able go pick up the car at 3:30.
I had a great experience! I got in for an oil change same day. They were transparent and proactively communicated about timing and service. They provided the most detailed report I’ve ever received from a repair shop with photos of everything they did and inspected, and the recommendations were coded by level of…
The service I received was great and forward thinking bumper to bumper inspection gives you a blueprint of both good and bad observations so can plan your next service with peace of mind
Friendly & fast!
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…
Great place, great people and fast turn around time
