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…
Great service and very fast! I got a flat tire, and they replaced it and had the car ready the same day. Clear communication with updates throughout, and everything was done when promised. Highly recommend!
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…
We have done business with Tires Unlimited for years. The recent improvements that they have made make them an even more professional company to work with. Excellent Service with great prices make them a no brainer if you need tires! Highly recommend them. Gene, thanks for great service. You are truly an asset for tires unlimited!
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!
The guys very nice and also the service is good!
Staffs are friendly, the place is nice and clean and service was done faster than I thought plus they open 7 days a week. Thank you so much :) I definitely be back if I need anything to be done again.
My tire got punctured by a nail. This place helped fix it the same day. The staff is also patient and helpful to explain what are my options and why he made the suggestion. My tire is run flat tire so cannot be repaired but needs replacement. Also my car is all wheel drive and the other 3 tires have been worn out so…
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. Israel Quiroz helped me and got me out of there within the same day on 4th of July weekend. The prices were very good especially considering the quick turnaround.…
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.
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 have been going using Tires Unlimited for 10 years, fore tire replacement, and also tire repairs (mainly nails or bolts) on 3 of my cars. They provide prompt and high quality excellent service, and I will continue to be a long time customer.
Great customer service and thorough examination of my vehicle and took care of the problem efficiently..
Friendly staff. They made sure to explain all of my options for what i needed and I didnt feel pressured into getting service that i didn't need.
Repeat customer! It is quick and easy to schedule appointment, I received helpful information about the correct type of tires I needed, and my car was serviced and completed on time. They even have a courtesy car available from time to time.
Stress Free Auto Care in San Jose is my routine maintenance location.Good price and through work.
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’m writing this to highly recommend Tire Unlimited. Over the weekend, my Benz S550 suffered a freeway tire blowout due to a pothole. It was an emergency, and it was my first time using this shop. They had to order the tire, so my car stayed there for two days. Once Monday came, they provided excellent service,…
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…
I needed a tire patch but the technician did a full inspection and found a slew of other issues lol. Ended up having to replace my entire tire which was reasonably priced and there was no pressure for me to add on other services upfront. They were transparent and upfront with pricing and worked on my car super fast. Would use them again in the future.
Amazing costumer service! Called in on Easter for a nail in my tire and they were able to accommodate the same day. They were friendly, kind, and extremely accommodating. I will definitely be back if I need any further services.
Nick did an awesome job on the alignment. My Tesla is pretty difficult to align and every other place I’ve taken it to, even Tesla themselves couldn’t do as good of a job. Also shoutout to the guys who did the tires. The car drives very smooth so the balancing was also done very well.
The folks at Stress-Free Auto Care/Tires Unlimited were easy to work with, responded to my inquiry quickly and were able to get me in the next day. The shop is clean, the staff is friendly,.and they were clear about pricing and repair time. The work was finished on time without any cost overages. I like the text…
Came in to get a tire installed and had a really good experience. Mike got me checked in super quick and made everything easy. Miguel was fast, knew what he was doing, and finished way quicker than I expected. Everything felt smooth, no waiting, no confusion. They also showed me an inspection report after, which was…
Too expensive for a simple tire patch.
Have been going to Stress-Free Auto Care and specifically this location for a couple of years now and service is and has always been excellent!
Always a great service and experience! Gene is the best is always fair and always takes care of his customers!
New tires. 3 hours late. No taking responsibility. Couldn’t care less. Flat tire next morning. Couldn’t get them to respond.
1hr tire changed turned into 3hrs with zero respect for my time. Can’t be trusted when it counts.
Do not bring your vehicle here they are a scam ! Brought my vehicle in for alignment they proceeded to tell me they did alignment but I still had broken ball joint ect and then tried to charge me 3000 to fix I called around found for half the price …gene was horrible with customer service had me waiting in the lobby…
Charge me 60 usd for a simple tire repair. Tire wasn’t balanced. I believe price it’s above others. Service was excellent.
Once again--the time and effort, communication and expertise of this business is just what I needed!! Thanks. Always a pleasure doing business with Tires Unlimited. I’ve been a customer for several years. They are friendly, accommodating and time efficient! This review is dated 6/4/20--I had a window…
Consistently excellent service at Tires Unlimited Stress-Auto Care. Gene Brawn, the service manager, and the entire team have serviced all our cars since the late 90s, before the consolidation with Stress-Free, and we will continue to use them. Quotes, explanations of issues and repair options, and follow-up…
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…
Excellent service and fair pricing - ride service was also provided!
