Bad custome service Change oil Price increase every time visit and decreased customer service

Majid S.

I've been coming to these guys for about 20 years. They used to be at a different location but now I drive further to get my oil changed, they also have other services which I haven't used yet. I feel very confident bringing my car here as I am very picky about who touches my car. It's very easy to mess up an oil change and I have full confidence with the guys do an outstanding job. Their prices are very fair and their service is very quick and the shop is very clean. You drive in, pull up, they change the oil, done. I never had to wait too long. I would totally recommend this place and even if you have to drive a little bit to get here it's worth it!

Worst experience i ever have, went there for an oil change and after the oil change my car lose totally the engine power, they put over oil too much, came back next day and they refused to fix the problem I have to pay them 70$ to get another oil change, the car got better but never like it was, I did think it was the end but i wasnt right, after entering to the freeway the plate protector for the oil change fell off, and I have to come back to get it fixed and they just used bridle to fixed, please if you go there be carefulo with the service

See all

My work takes all of our cars here for oil changes. Quick service, great prices, and a very welcoming staff. What more can you ask for?

I am also one of those people who had been ignoring my dashboard maintenance light and putting off…read morea much-needed oil change, dreading having to go in - THIS IS YOUR PLACE! I went on a Friday morning on my husband's recommendation (he also gives 5 stars for an oil and transmission fluid change on our old van), only one other car ahead of me, and got seen immediately. In 30 mins and without leaving the car, they changed my synthetic oil, checked my fluids and lights, offered to check my tire pressure, and washed my window, while I chilled, answering texts and calls in my car. Big thanks to Sedrick, Alik, and especially Jorge for the honest and prompt customer service. I had a rear windshield wiper that I bought and Jorge very kindly taught me how to install it (though I bought the wrong one oops) - new life skill unlocked thanks to you, Jorge! Will be back in 5,000 miles - fast, easy & painless for car-maintenance phobic people like me!

Came in for an oil change that I'd been putting off for way too long (I know, I know... I shouldn't…read morehave ), but I'm so glad I finally did! This was the closest shop to me, and now I know I'll never go anywhere else. The whole experience was amazing. It's literally a drive-thru service you don't even have to get out of your car! The customer service is top-notch. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and always smiling. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do. My technician, Uriel, was incredibly kind and informative. He explained what my car needed without being pushy at all. Unlike some places I've been, I wasn't bombarded with a list of expensive services or talked down to. He simply gave me the information and let me decide, which I really appreciated. I paid about $140, which is around what I normally spend for an oil change, and I happily left a good tip because the service was that great. They also offer a free oil top-off before your next 3,000 miles, which is such a nice bonus! Highly recommend this place. They've definitely earned a loyal customer!

I really enjoyed my first visit to Stress-Free Auto Care. Requesting my appointment was easy and I…read morewas able to do it on a web browser. I was taken care of immediately when I showed up for my appointment and they even offered me a ride to and from my house for pick. I got text message updates throughout the process which included photos to see how they were diagnosing the issues with my vehicle. I could click through the option of services to see which ones I approved them to do and I chose to decline. I also liked they had a camera where you could watch them work on your car live. All in all, this was really and truly an Stress-Free place and I will definitely come back for more work in the future.

Where do I begin? I genuinely wanted to like this place because I had read several positive…read morereviews, and my initial experience with the staff and customer service was pleasant. I brought my car in because it wasn't driving the way it normally does. They kept the vehicle for a day and contacted me the following day to recommend replacing the transmission. The estimate was approximately $9,800, which was far beyond what I expected--and, quite frankly, extremely concerning. My vehicle is not yet six years old, and I have consistently kept up with routine maintenance, including regular oil changes. Naturally, I was very disappointed to be told that I needed a replacement transmission, especially at that cost. I decided to get a second opinion from another repair shop, and I'm very glad I did. They diagnosed the issue as spark plugs and ignition coils--not a transmission problem. After replacing those components, my car is now running beautifully. I appreciate the customer service I received, but unfortunately, I cannot justify returning to a shop that would recommend a repair of nearly $10,000 when the actual issue turned out to be something significantly less expensive. I understand that diagnostics can sometimes be complicated and that different shops may reach different conclusions. However, an estimate of $9,800 is a substantial amount of money, and I strongly recommend getting a second opinion before committing to a repair of that magnitude. Thank you for your time and for the service you provided. I sincerely wish you the best, but based on this experience, I will likely may not return.
