Honest and fair. Did not take advantage of my son whose Ford Focus transmission needed a rebuild and helped him make the right decisions

Easily the best. Don't go anywhere else. Sometimes they are pretty busy but how are they supposed to help that when they're the best?

I live over in the Santa Cruz mountains but was over the hill for errands. My battery died (or so…read moreI thought). AAA gave me a jump but my A/C, dash and power windows and stereo wouldn't work. The AAA towing guy said it was my alternator. I didn't want to drive back over the hill with a bad alternator so I started calling auto shops around where I was that were actually open on a Saturday. I called and spoke with Gary. He got my information and was able to find an alternator for my Hummer H2 (OEM at that) and said to bring it in and I could be up and running in two hours. I dropped off my car and went to the pizza place next door to eat lunch and wait. A little while later I got a call from Gary and he said that the issue wasn't my alternator at all. It was my string of lights zip tied under my car connected to my battery. The light strip had come down and was dragging on the ground and essentially shorting out my battery. Once he disconnected it from my battery everything started working again. The level of detail they went into to find the true issue vs just putting in an alternator was very impressive and just shows true integrity and customer service. I wish I lived near by them cuz I would definitely make them my primary mechanic. For anyone looking to bring your car in for work, just know you are in good hands. I highly recommend them.

The staff is honest, friendly, and responsive, and I always leave feeling like my car was genuinely well cared for. I've brought every family vehicle here, mine, my husband's, and my kids', and the experience is always positive. When a tire can be repaired, they do an excellent job and often at no cost. When replacement is needed, they're upfront about tire lifespan and offer helpful, practical recommendations. I never feel pressured or upsold, which is rare and appreciated. LG Tires is a business you can trust. Highly recommend for quality service and peace of mind.

Another update:…read more Again, as I continue to work on different areas of my car, I find parts that Los Gatos Tire & Auto completely screwed up and cost me more money in the future to fix. Time traveling back almost 2 years ago, I drove my car out of the parking lot at this mechanic shortly after getting work done, and there were lights on the dashboard indicating a fault in the stability control and ABS system. I returned the car to them and told the technician how those lights were not on the dash before they did their work. They promptly claimed to have replaced some cables, and returned the car to me with no codes. For the almost 2 years following, these same lights would appear on my dash sporadically, as well as whenever it would rain. I tried diagnosing it many times, and other mechanics told me it was likely just a worn sensor, so I put off the repair to prioritize more important things. As it turns out, upon closer inspection recently, Los Gatos Tire & Auto actually installed a bolt with completely incorrect threads to hold a wheel speed sensor in place, that was not on my car prior to their work. Again, I had never had an issue before they did this, and my wheel speed sensors were all installed correctly from the factory. They literally cross-threaded the hole for the wheel speed sensor bolt, which is part of my steering knuckle and cannot be replaced without buying an entire new knuckle, which with parts and labor would be over $1000. I tried correcting the threads, but they were already completely torn up. While Los Gatos Tire & Auto was at it, they did not even tighten down the sensor as they cross threaded it, allowing water to get in which caused the warning lights, and which also rusted the sensor over time.

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 third service was a wheel alignment and rear brake rotor/pad replacement done for a pretty penny. Having no other bid I believe the Subaru Dealer would have charged even more. This place is a class act. They are polite and professional, and even offer access to a web site showing the car being serviced in real time! 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. All that said, the self-praising song repeated while on hold could serve as an interrogation technique! We will continue being customers but will put the phone on low volume speaker

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.
