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.

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…

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…

I called this morning for an estimate and the guy on the phone hung up on me when he gave me a price and I said I was shopping around. Yeah, nope! Won’t be coming back to you because of your rude service.

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.

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.

Been there 3 times 2 for regular maintenance, and one cause I had an emergency. The waiting area is decent, staff are nice. A guy named Ezreal (god I hope that’s how you spell his name) helped me with my emergency saving my SF trip I planned months ago. Will continue coming back.

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.
