Le is one of the most relaxed concentrated mechanics that I've ever met in my life. His calm demeanor gets the job done efficiently and correctly with no rush. Le not only smogged my Chevy Tahoe he's also changed the front brakes and rotors at a very good rate. I truly recommend Smog Xpress to anyone looking for a great deal and efficient services.

Exceptionally amazing service!! We took my sister's mini…read morecooper to Stress-Free Auto Care for the first time the car needed oil change, brake change, and a few other jobs done Neal helped us; he was extremely knowledgeable about all the issues with the car I thought the fixes were going to take 5 hours but they were all done in less than 3 hours! The car runs great now I'm so glad I found this place. I'll definitely be coming back Highly recommended!

Stress free is FAR from what just happened to me. Your company caused me stress if anything…read more I made an appt online and received a confirmation. I arrived a few mins early for my 1pm appt today.. and then I was told that they could not complete my service because there was not enough time. Please tell me why I received a confirmation for my appt if this could not be done TODAY? Or if you knew ahead of time that it could NOT be possible, why did I not receive a call sometime BEFORE my appt? Their way of fixing the problem was to "accommodate me" by offering me a time tomorrow (a weekday). That sounds like you're accommodating yourself more so than me. That's convenient for YOU. There are people who can only get these kind of services done on the weekend, me included. Then they offered me their branch in Redwood City, but provided me with a Jiffylube address just to get me out the door. But wait.. TO TOP IT OFF, they offered me a "discount" the next time I could come in. The price they offered me was more than; if not the same price I would have paid TODAY for the service. How is that a "discount"? After respectfully trying to see what they could possibly offer to make this situation right...in every single aspect, this was accommodating YOUR COMPANY and NOT me, the customer. Why would I come back? To get denied for another service? I am totally taken back today with this situation. I really hope you put this into consideration for your company. Especially if your Yelp staff is encouraging your customers to book their appts online for a "discount". This seems to causing people stress..and being you are the "stress-free auto care", this far from the case.

Personally, I hate taking my car places because, unfortunately, females get taken advantage of. All their reviews were so great! I called and they were able to get me in the next day. I was able to drop my car off in the morning and pick it up after work. I asked what kind of oil and immediately was told not the cheap stuff for your BMW- I said good, you passed the test and we laughed. They were awesome. I have since taken my car back to replace my battery and get my engine bay cleaned. Battery is easy I know, but my car is special and I didn't want to deal with it. I was met again with exceptional service- going above and beyond! They respond quickly, provide great service and even throw in some jokes! These guys are seriously so kind (and funny). If you need to have work done in your car, take it to them! They gave me a great deal and took such good care of my car! Thank you!

Great service! I brought my 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 in for an oil change and tire rotation…read more Everyone was friendly, professional, and gave me some great recommendations for my truck. I work in construction and do electrical work, so I understand how important it is to have someone who knows what they're doing. I know I could DIY an oil change and tire rotation myself, but sometimes I just don't have the time. It's the same thing I tell my customers with electrical work--you might be able to do some things yourself, but sometimes it's better to save the time and let the professionals handle it. I really appreciate the service and recommendations. Great experience overall, and I'll definitely come back!

My fav place for an oil change because of all the checks they do. They're very transparent about…read morethat. There's coupons if you return or look on their website. There's the Yelp one as well if you mention it (ranges $10-$12). Total is usually $110 for full synthetic for a Honda accord. I accidentally did a brake fluid exchange twice in this past year and no one told me when I came for the visit which was kind of upsetting. That's my fault for not checking my previous receipts. Wish they checked my account with them so I could've prevented this. Basically wasted $130, but I got my tire rotation done at least. but I'm pretty sad about the double brake fluid exchange incident. I was supposed to get my transmission fluid exchange done instead based off their last recommendation. Not super busy so walk ins are easy. I live far but still come back. The prices are going up though - probably will ONLY come back for oil changes even though it's on the pricier side (hence 4/5 stars). Service otherwise has been great. The owner is the best. The mechanics are okay. I can tell the owner really trained them well.

I had a…read moreterrible experience with a local dealer trying to repair my C7, and after constant unresolved problems, I decided to take it to someone else.. I found Clarity, which luckily is a very short drive from my house. They were extremely communicative and transparent throughout the entire process. Did a full inspection on top of the issues that I brought it in for and they made recommendations, but I did not feel pressured to make any decisions. Ultimately I got everything done anyway and they were so quick. They sent photos of the car and photos confirming the issues they found as well. Not a shady shop at all in my opinion. I also brought it in on a Monday morning, the car was ready by I think Thursday or Friday that week. After dealing with my car sitting at the dealer for months with little to no communication, this was a HUGE relief for me. So I decided to bring it in again to get my new rims installed. Literally within a couple hours the car was ready to be picked up, the process was super easy overall. These guys will be my go to for any future repairs or general maintenance that I need from now on. I highly recommend them. Thank you to the entire team at Clarity for coming through and getting everything done in such a timely manner.
