    These are criminals pretending to be mechanics. My car broke down on the freeway right next to this repair shop and they are called a tow truck to charge me 150 to tow my vehicle their even tho their is a free service to tow your car. The mechanic charges me diagnostic fee saying my transmission lines need to be replaced because they came off the cooler charges me over a 1000 dollars plus diagnostic fee. Let's me drive off saying it's fixed. Next day notice car is losing power and struggling. Thought it might the computer adjusting but it wasn't. Brought it back, now tells me the cooler that the transmission lines he replaced is leaking. And wants me to pay for it and new labor service. You can notice the cooler is completely leaking and he said he didn't notice it was leaking. He said he was a certified mechanic shop that can fix any car. He got angry at me and told me to get out and talk to the owner. Gave me a card, called the number and no one picks up, voice mail disconnected. My car isn't driveable, but he let me drive it off in that condition. This is more than negligence, it's criminal and I had to borrow money to get the repair done and it's not fixed. The most offensive part is a cooler replacement is relatively cheap, but refused to fix the problem without me paying for it again. He said talk to the owner of the gas station,whi has his Mercedes Benz and corvette parked on display in front of the mechanic shop. The owner I actually had a conversation with while I was waiting for the mechanic to tell me what's wrong with my car. Was saying you should work hard and thats how he got those cars. I thought about this and it makes me furious after being robbed and forced to leave a car that shouldnt be driven. Don't ever go here I want justice and I will be calling BBB, department of Justice, filing every lawsuit I can. I don't have money for the repairs, I can't work now because I can't drive. This ain't right and they won't help me. Don't support them by getting gas, they are low life committing fraud intentionally. Maybe because people have money in that area and just pay for whatever they say. But I don't I am struggling and this business is the worst. Don't support this business.

    I own a gourmet food truck, went there for an emergency fill up for my propane! It was around 6:30pm on 12/27/14 and I called the gas station to make sure that they had propane available. I usually fill up at the 76 Shell off Dyer and the 55 freeway, cost us $1.99 a gallon plus tax. I asked the attendant/maybe owner how much per gallon and he gave me a run around that he would tell me after we fill up. I asked again and he then told me $4.99 a gallon. Very steep but on an emergency situation like mine, it's acceptable. Once we are done filling up, he asked me if I was going to pay with cash or card. I answered that we would be paying cash and he right away told me it was $60.00 I walked inside the store maybe thinking he was overcharging me my 10 gallons of propane. Once again he told me $60 and gave me a look like yeah, that's what it is. I confronted him about the price as written below: 10 gallons @ $4.99 = $49.90 $49.90 + 8% tax ($3.99) = $53.89 He was overcharging me $6.10 over what he should have. He made it very clear that was the new price because he had to go outside and fill up my propane, making him miss all his customers at the empty gas station. He even gave me the receipt just reading $60 propane, not clarifying the amount purchased or price per gallon. I told him it wasn't right that he was stealing from us and walked away. He still had the balls to ask for me to come back again some other time! Wtf???? Was this guy kidding???? As I was leaving, he decided to walk to my food truck and give me back $5 and said sorry, screw his sorry and his gas station. For the owner: check out this California code CAL. BPC. CODE § 12024.2 : California Code - Section 12024.2 (a) It is unlawful for any person, at the time of sale of a commodity, to do any of the following: (1) Charge an amount greater than the price, or to compute an amount greater than a true extension of a price per unit, that is then advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted for that commodity.

They called me almost everyday to update me on the process, any costs, or timing concerns. Gino handles the front and was extremely personable, helpful, and honest throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and never made me feel pressured into unnecessary repairs. Jose did the actual work on my car and did a fantastic job -- my Fiat is running great! My ac was causing lots of issues and has been running cold for a week now! I am always hesitant to have just anyone work and the Fiat but he clearly knew the car and specific details. It's really refreshing to find a shop that feels trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their customers. I would absolutely recommend Gino and Jose, especially to anyone looking for someone comfortable working on European cars. I'll definitely be coming back!

I dropped my truck off on Saturday, March 14th at 9:00 AM. Around 2:30 PM, I received a call that the four tires I requested to have replaced was ready for pick up. After paying $1,061.57 for the tires and labor, I drove off the lot only for my truck to begin violently shaking, forcing me to pull over immediately. I contacted my husband, who came to assist, but the truck was undrivable. I returned to Stress Free Auto Care and explained the situation. At that point, my husband was already waiting for a tow truck. Instead of addressing the issue, we were told they were closing and would not inspect the vehicle until Monday. I could hear the mechanic complaining that he was tired and didn't want to wait around when the manager went to speak to him. I specifically asked if anyone actually drove my truck to test it and was told no they did not road test it. Obviously. Due to the poor customer service and urgency of the situation, we had the truck towed to Toyota of Orange. After inspection, we were informed that the lug nuts had been grossly over-tightened, three were broken and one was missing entirely. This was not a minor mistake; it caused significant damage to the wheel components and created a serious safety hazard. Proper torque is a basic standard that any competent shop should follow, yet it was clearly ignored. No one from Stress Free Auto Care contacted us at any point the following week. After Toyota kept the truck for a week and a half, we were left with a repair bill of $3,332.03. My husband sent a certified letter to Stress Free Auto Care, including documentation of the damages and requesting reimbursement. The manager eventually responded, offering to reimburse only the cost of the tires without acknowledging the additional damages or expenses incurred. As a result, we have filed a lawsuit to recover our losses. I strongly caution anyone to use Stress Free and to choose a business that values safety, accountability, and professional standards.

After explaining the issue, I was told they would diagnose the problem and call me with their findings. A few hours later, I called for an update and was told they had found a parasitic battery drain and needed to run additional tests. Later that day, they called back and said the problem was simply a faulty battery and that replacing it would solve the issue. I approved the repair, which ended up costing about $430 for the battery. After picking up the car, I immediately noticed that some of the electronics were not working correctly and it still felt like the battery was being drained. Because the original diagnosis didn't seem to match the symptoms, I took the vehicle to Al's Electric Repair in Anaheim, a shop that had successfully fixed an electrical issue on another vehicle of mine. Al's quickly identified a parasitic drain caused by a camera installed inside the cabin. Once they repaired the drain, the electrical issues disappeared and the car has been running properly ever since. What concerns me is that the first shop initially told me they had found a parasitic drain, but later concluded that the battery was the only problem. Whether the battery needed replacement or not, the actual drain remained and was causing the issues I brought the car in for. Based on my experience, Al's Electric Repair accurately diagnosed and repaired the problem, and they have now successfully resolved electrical issues on two of my vehicles.
