It's difficult to find a mechanic you can trust, but this places has them here with great leadership. My family has been coming here for the last 20 years (back when they were located in Campbell). Awesome communication, timely, and there digital portal (to see what parts need to be fixed with pictures) is a great use of tech.

Had a great experience with my Rav 4! Phillip and team were extremely professional, kept me up to date with timing on when my vehicle would be ready even stayed open a little late for me as I got off work late. I appreciate the transparency of the entire process! Thank you Phil and team, looking forward to my next service!

I had my wheel hub bearing replaced and also an all wheel drive alignment done. I dropped off my Jeep at 7:45am and it was completed by 11:30am. That is quick service and the price was not that bad, as always I am satisfied with the service. All of the mechanics seem to be very knowledgeable, I will continue my business with Stress Free Auto. Thank you.

The car was handling poorly. The guys correctly diagnosed some worn suspension components and incorrect toe-in. Now by comparison the Corolla feels like a veritable Maserati. Joking aside, they aren't the cheapest in town, but consistently do good honest work and get it done when promised. Well worth it.

A very thorough "see for yourself" assessment of vehicles inspections and the low-stress room you have to determine what and when you want the work accomplished gives you total peace of mind that you are getting true quality service. And, you can always get a printout of the service record, if you are a private seller of your automobile.
