    Be aware that this garage primarily serves commercial truckers. Overall services quality is inconsistent. But one thing for sure, this place is slow. Just hold your breath, you will need 2.5 hours for oil/filter changes despite that you got 7:30AM appointment. And the staff turnover rate is also pretty high. Though their discount coupon is good, but the wait is just too much. Pay a few more bocks elsewhere if you are in a hurry.

    Several weeks ago I walked into Bruce's automotive repair fremont after having my truck a 2016 eco diesel worked on by stress free auto, stress free had attempted to change glow plugs and broken 2 off in the head tried drilling one out it mushroomed at bottom of head . They informed me they were unable to fix it and it was my problem now ?? What. I immediately went to Bruce's and spoke to Raul who was extremely understanding and professional. I didn't know what to do but I had a broken truck and no transportation. He was patient he informed me I could do 3 things 1 replace the heads and gave me a quote , I could put a used engine which I wasn't sure about or get a brand new engine he gave me quotes for all 3 after speaking with my son we decided on the brand new diesel engine. Because my truck had 207 k miles.during the entire process I feel Bruce's automotive was the most professional, always kept me informed of progress sent pictures . After having such a bad experience before I couldn't wait to get my truck back we were asked to go watch the progress and I was amazed on March 26, 2025 we got the truck back absolutely beautiful job I would give 100 stars thank you to all who worked so hard to get my baby back I am beyondhappy

    Had my car there yesterday for steering wheel leveling. The truck was aligned by Carlos a month ago and was very happy with the work. I've asked if Carlos is available can do the work they said he was day off. Today when I pick up the car the alignment was off and when I called they said they want to charge me again for alignment. I asked if Carlos is available they said he is no longer working there. ‍ They said they did not touch the alignment but the invoice shows they didn't a full alignment. Even when they called said the car was ready I asked how they fixed they said they didn't a new alignment and had to charge me $199 which is fine but the car now pulls to right and they want to charge me again for alignment. I would definitely no recommend this location. Only if Carlos is the one working in the truck as I had great work done by him.

    The worst place

    Poor customer service, especially managers. Made an appointment 2nd time, 1st time it was canceled because something happened to their guy who do alignment. 2nd time their alignment equipment is not working. The problem is they don't care about customers, they didn't call to reschedule. You have to come after you will know that you just lost your time because they can't help you and show that it's your problem. Question is how do they work for many years still? BTW manager doesn't care about customers, no apologies were said.

I didnt like what the other place quoted me so decided to shop around. Found Stress free which is a ten minute walk from my house. I started with fluid flush and replacement services. My first appointment was for my transmission fluid. They were performing their free routine inspection and found two problems I didn't even know I had. My battery was on its last legs and they caught the low voltage. The week prior, I thought it was my key fob and just replaced the battery in my key fob. They saved me from being stranded with a dead battery. Then they noticed a giant nail in the inner sidewall if one of my rear tires. I always inspect my tires before I commute every day but never check the inside since I cant see it. Again, saved me from a blow out on the bridge. I agreed to have them replace the tire. They tracked one down from a place in San Jose. Installed same day. The tech did scratch my rim when mounting the tire, as seen in photo. Not to worry. George immediately pointed it out and offered to fix it by outsourcing to have it repainted asap. Oni worked tirelessly with me and around my schedule to complete this task. Even offered me a loaner so I wouldnt be without a car. Very happy with the result and youd never know it was scratched. I brought it back for both coolant flush and brake fluid flush services, as well as my oil change. All three visits had service promotion coupons available. Very happy with the transparency of price, convenience of being open Saturday AND SUNDAY, cleanliness of location and comfortable waiting room if you choose to wait while repairs are being done. I cant say enough good things about Stress Free Auto. They do live up to their name. Thanks George and Oni, I appreciate you.

Anyone who has…read morebeen through a major car repair knows it's a hard pill to swallow, especially in California, where repair costs can be overwhelming and it often feels like everyone is charging an arm and a leg. That's why finding Kris was such a blessing. From the very beginning, Kris treated me with kindness, honesty, and professionalism. He took the time to explain everything, kept me updated throughout the process, and never made me feel like just another customer. During a stressful situation, his patience and communication made a world of difference. What impressed me most was his attention to detail. He wasn't interested in simply getting the job done, he wanted to make sure it was done right. That level of care and pride in his work is hard to find these days. I had no idea this hidden gem of a shop even existed, but I can confidently say I won't be taking my vehicle anywhere else. Not only did Kris get my Chevy back on the road, but he returned it in better condition than it was before the engine issues started. If you're looking for someone who is honest, knowledgeable, professional, and offers fair, affordable rates, Kris is the real deal. I will absolutely be returning for oil changes, maintenance, and any future vehicle repairs. Thank you, Kris, for helping me through a stressful situation and treating me with such kindness and respect. You've earned a customer for life(:

I first reached out to Kris when my local Toyota dealer quoted me nearly twice the price for a major repair. I wanted a second opinion, and I'm so glad I made the call. Kris took the time to explain the repair, provided a fair and honest quote, and earned my trust from day one. I've been bringing my Toyota Prius and Ford F-250 diesel truck to Bay City Auto ever since.

    My car (2013 VW Golf) was having a transmission problem that only appeared on long drives, and I'd…read morebrought it to 3 different places before bringing it here- 2 dealerships and one independent mechanic. Everyone previously would charge me over $200 for a diagnostic, find nothing, and state that they drove it around the block and didn't see any problems (duh). So I'd accepted it would never be fixed. Fast forward to now, it became an unavoidable issue so I reached out to multiple places to describe the issue and get some opinions. Jack was very responsive and immediately had a recommendation before even looking at my car. I brought it in for a $155 diagnostic, and if they couldn't fix it I wouldn't be charged. Unlike other places, they drove my car over 100 miles to try to replicate the issue! Although they still couldn't replicate it, they looked into my vehicle's service history and walked me through their recommendations. We went with Jack's original recommendation, there was a fast turnaround, and my car now been fine. He was spot-on before even looking at my car. I was super impressed and had a great experience here! Thanks to everyone at Fremont Auto :)

I had a terrible time with the gentleman who owned the shop in front of theirs, who lied and told me I was in the right place, which wasn't corrected until I called Fremont Auto Center looking for an update. Jack personally went next door to check on my car, and offered me 10% off repairs. I was told I could drop my car off the next day without needing another appointment. I met Sal, who has such a wonderful and charming personality, and it was great to meet Jack in person, too. Within an hour, I had the full analysis and estimate, and around 2:30, a couple of hours before closed, I was called and told the car wouldn't be finished, and asked if I'd like to come pick it up for the weekend (which I declined, we didn't need it!). The prices were fair, and their system of telling you what absolutely needs work versus what they recommend to be worked on was so great in helping me understand what was wrong with the car. My experience with them made me tell my husband that I'd drive to them if we ever moved out of the area. I can't recommend this place enough (just make sure you drive all the way to the green building and dont let anyone stop you like I did!)
