Great service! They fixed the initial problem right away. The other issue was an intermittent noise out of the rear end that wasn't happening when I dropped it off. They told me to come back another day when the car was making noise and they will fix it no charge. They did exactly that, fixed it no charge!

I had a great experience with this auto-body shop. Shiva is extremely transparent and knowledgable. They were efficient with running diagnostics on my vehicle and were methodical with fixing the mechanical issue. Not once did I feel like they were going to upsell me on any additional services. I appreciate their service and will definitely come back with any other needs for my car. Thank you.

New to the hood and had a great experience with Stress Free in Milpitas. Decided to send my car to this location for an oil change. Despite some scheduling confusion, Jerod was super helpful in getting the car back into the queue. Work completed and all good!
What makes this place a standout is what happened the week after.
As I was ready to head into work, found my car wouldn't start due to a dead battery. Despite our best efforts in doing a jump, we called Stress Free to see if they could help us out. Jerod once again stepped up and graciously got Mike to come to the house to evaluate and recharge the battery.
It helps that we live 5 mins away. But, the fact that Jerod and Mike went out of their way to lend their support meant the world. And has certainly secured themselves as our go to auto service shop! Thanks again Jerod and Mike! We appreciate you!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

My partner and I were driving down the Pacific coast for vacation - Seattle to San Diego. About two hours after San Francisco, a knocking sound came from the engine and an engine light came on; so we pulled over. Fears started to set in when we found the engine didn't have any oil. After some short trouble shooting, we figured that the car had to be towed. It was approaching the end of business on the Saturday before Father's day - literally half of the auto mechanics were closed and the other half said they wouldn't have room or time to look at the car that week.
When I called Stress Free, Jason answered and immediately he sympathized with my situation. He told me to tow the car in after hours and he'll look at it on Sunday or Monday. Finally I was able to relax a little. Monday comes along and Jason calls with the bad news that we all knew was coming -engine failure.
Long story short, I had to spend the next week of my vacation going back and forth on the phone between my insurance, Hyundai and Stress Free. Everyone at this auto shop was extremely friendly and helpful. I must have called them 3 - 5 times per day to ask questions and make requests, and they were always happy to help. They even have a internet camera in the shop where you can watch them work on your car. They really did help me to feel more secure in this situation.
Outstanding service!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

This auto repair shop by far is the best one I have been too. Everyone there is very nice and friendly
Their work is solid and waiting area/lobby is so clean. I was pleasantly surprised when they got me a paid for Lyft ride so I can go back home while they worked on my car.
I highly recommend this auto shop to anyone who is looking for a dependable repair/service for your car.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
