I went there to replace two tires. They did a thorough multi-point checkup, not just for the tire/suspension but also in the engine compartment. The whole service was done in an hour while I waited. Highly recommended!

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…

What I like about this shop is NOT ONLY A TIRE SHOP. I took my car to change both rear tires which the prices were competitive, but what makes them special is that they inspected the car as well (missing bolts, brake pads, anti freeze levels, oil level) and they included pictures as proof of their recommended…

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 experience was okay until I picked up my car, went home and realized they never refilled the washer fluid. In their report they stated it as full and even in the picture provided you can see it it empty, a very simple thing that was total missed. This cause me to question the rest of their services.

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!

Went to change tires and alignment for my Subaru Crosstrek 2021. It was urgent as I had a hole in my tire and was on my way to Yosemite for the weekend.

Amazing service! So nice, friendly and super helpful! They helped me out quickly when I got a nail in my tire. They reassured me the placement of the nail could easily be patched. They sent me pictures with a full inspection. They had snacks in the waiting room which my kids really loved. My kids and I highly recommend for any car troubles or services.

I’ve been going here for a few years now just for maintenance, but recently they helped me with tires too. Everyone here is really friendly and the services are quick and done well. Communication is great while the car is in the shop, and you can follow along where the car is in the process.
