We recently moved our Mercedes out of dealership servicing after the warranty period and were…read morelooking for a shop we could trust for quality work, good communication, and fair pricing. We were referred to Campbell Motor Center, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. On a Thursday evening, we spoke with Anthony, who went out of his way to get us scheduled for the very next morning. That alone was impressive, considering the dealership couldn't get us in anytime soon. By Friday, the car was in, serviced, and completely finished within about four hours. The pricing was about one-third of what Mercedes-Benz of Stevens Creek quoted us, without sacrificing quality or professionalism. What really stood out was the level of service. Anthony handled everything personally, from communication to updates. Every question we had was answered clearly, and we always knew what was going on with the car. No pressure, no upselling, just honest and efficient service. With over 30 years of experience in customer service and running a business myself, I don't give this kind of feedback lightly. This is an A++ operation. Going forward, every vehicle we own outside of dealership warranty will be serviced here. Highly recommend. Frank Saunders

It's been a few years since I had work done at this shop but I did start and not finish this…read morereview, so am guilty of procrastinating! I'd been to 2 other shops with my 94 Camry trying to get the problem resolved. Both of those shops got my car in an accident while test driving it. I ended up losing out at both places, besides neither one could fix the computer problem and kept getting computers from junk yards. Finally after the long diagnosis, over 2 hours at Rensons, they figured what it needed. A NEW computer, which worked fine, and if I'd only known that's what it needed, I would never have gone to the awful places I chose before Rensons. They charged more than I expected to diagnose the problem, it was in the hundreds, and then the computer out the door price was close to 2k. But it came with a guarantee, and a smile and honesty. I would choose Rensons if you want knowledge and can afford to go there? Not cheap, not even really reasonable, but they fixed my car, so got to give credit where it's due. Giving 4 star because it cost more to diagnose than 1 hour, which shouldn't have happened. Over $300 just for a diagnosis. The place is clean and they have a decent waiting room area. I might go back there, but it would depend on price. They do good work, and they tried to fix the door which had been dented and stuck closed, besides the other 2nd place also messed up the glove box, so they realigned it and it looks perfect. They really did a good job on what was handed to them.

You can tell he truly loves what he does--he took the time to chat with me and shared some of his troubleshooting journeys and stories about interesting mechanical problems he's solved in the shop. It's rare to find a mechanic who is not only highly skilled but also so enthusiastic and transparent about his diagnostic process. If you're looking for honest, top-notch auto repair and a mechanic who genuinely cares about his craft, Nitesh and the team at Zip In Auto are the best in the business. Highly recommend!

It failed elsewhere 6+ months ago. In the last 1 year and 3 days I have spent more than $5777 at the dealer because of DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) quality errors and fixes... Why the dealership? Because of the 2 year warranty. The DEF smog equipment is a sore subject that is NOT related to this business. At Premium Auto Repair Center, once I explained what I was going through and showing over 1/4" of invoices, they gladly took the time to check the OBD and share the results with me each time I stopped in/by. A shout out to the owner and all employees for your assistance and today it passed the smog check. As a side note, to avoid high emission output the ECU/ECM limits the truck to 55 mph and then limits the truck to 4 mph (so it can be loaded on a flatbed tow truck)... This state is a joke!

Review long overdue. I've been going to TLS Auto Service for over 10 years, and Anthony, the owner,…read morehas worked on several of my vehicles over the years--including a 3rd gen 4Runner, 3rd gen Prius, and now my 5th gen 4Runner and 4th gen RAV4. I bring all my cars here for regular maintenance like oil changes, brake fluids, differential fluid and coolant fluids maintenance, brake pad and rotor replacements. They've also handled bigger repairs such as an axle seal leak, valve cover gasket leak, and fixing warped rotors. Everything has always been done right the first time. What really sets this place apart is that Anthony does most of the work himself, and after the job is done, you hear directly from him about what was done and why. He's very polite and easy to talk to, and you never feel like you're being ripped off. The quality is as good as--or better than--the dealership, using original Toyota parts, but without dealership prices. No middleman, no customer service rep--just straight answers from the person actually working on your car. He also documents major repairs with before-and-after photos and will even check in a day or two later to make sure everything's driving well. Most importantly, they're honest, reliable, and trustworthy. I've never had an issue in the 10+ years I've been coming here. If you're looking for a shop you can actually trust, I highly recommend TLS Auto Service.

During my DIY repair I snapped one of the alternator bolts that was sitting pretty deep and required a lot of disassembly including AC compressor to take care of. So I figured to find local shop who know how to work on BMW and boy I'm glad I did reach out to Dillan. He has deep knowledge and experience with BMWs (I believe he owns 3) and he instantly was able to understand my situation and gave me detailed plan of action. I dropped the car and the next day it was all taken care of with a reasonable price and no hidden increase in labor or parts! Overall great experience, transparent communication and fair pricing!

We had to take our Prius in for a smog check (why though, it's a Prius!) and I called in to to make an appointment, which was easy to do. When we arrived, they told us where to position our car, asked for the DMV paperwork, and quickly went about performing the smog check. They performed it quickly, did it for a transparent fixed price (some places charge more for certain cars, including Prius's, which seems strange), and got us on our away quickly. The price was reasonable too - about $60 all in. They pointed us to some chairs where we could sit and wait while they did the test - nothing fancy, but it's good to have an option to sit. For whatever reason, smog checks are something I kind of dread, even though it's always painless. Having a local place that can do this quickly and efficiently for a reasonable price is always worth calling out.

The phone charger cables in the waiting area are a good example Although probably not cheapest option I think we got more than we spent.

This place had a different name before the pandemic (maybe longer ago). I went there one time when…read moreit had that name that included the word "Toyota" in it. I brought my car there for some kind of service, I don't remember what. I didn't go back there because of the prices. Years later, I found a mechanic that I like, but that mechanic is 7 miles from me, so I had been going to different places for oil changes and going to the mechanic for repairs. Long story short, my oil change light came on and I wasn't able to go to my regular oil change place due to an unscheduled closure. I pulled over and looked at reviews. This shop's sister shop had a five-star review and was pretty close to where I was. They had no available appointments, but the manager directed me to this one, which I was able to get an appointment the next day. The clerk told me the oil change also included an inspection. About an hour later, I get a text wanting approval for another $2,200. I knew that my mechanic would charge just over half for the brakes alone, so I declined the other services. That's where it got crazy. I pick my car, and the check engine light and two other lights were on. They hadn't been on when I dropped off the car. When I called it in, the mechanic (or clerk, I'm not sure which) kept repeating "You declined additional services." Now, I'm old enough and competent enough to have changed my oil and even replaced the spark plugs and cables on cars back in the day, so I knew there was absolutely no reason at all that an oil change would cause the check engine light to go on. Essentially, they introduced a problem that didn't exist when I brought it in. So, I called my mechanic and asked whether there might be a reason for the light to have been triggered. He said that it could be triggered if the hoses are not reconnected when they inspect the air filters. That, in fact, was the problem. This leaves me with two possible outcomes, neither of which is good: either they deliberately left the hoses disconnected so that I'd panic and buy the other services or they were careless. I made an appointment with my mechanic, who looked over Stress Free's estimate and then inspected my car. His initial comment was "These guys are expensive as hell," and pointed out one place where Stress Free was going to charge me for labour for a service that would have been part of another of the services. Long story short, I'm having the repair done by my mechanic for less than $1,000.
