Took my car in for what I thought was one problem... Turned out I was only partial accurate. They walked me through to process and included pics and videos. Alex is awesome.


Jan 30, 2025

Alex and his team are reliable and trustworthy. Got me in quick, identified the issue, provided top-notch service and (most importantly) did not pressure me into doing anything. They’re not just salesmen, they want what’s best for you. Found my new spot! Thanks guys!


Jan 30, 2025

Quality service and great people without trying to oversell the service. Fixed my car and provided transportation home.


Jan 23, 2025

Great service! Friendly staff! They always take good care of my car. It really is stress free.


Jan 23, 2025

These guys tried to charge me nearly 4x more for a job than another shop charged around the corner. They are not interested in helping people it’s more about making as much money as they can on each job. I wouldn’t get my car maintenanced here


Jan 23, 2025

Very informative and Alex was very helpful and explained everything. I will be returning when I need car repair service. Thank you


Jan 16, 2025

Great service and excellent communication. Process was seamless and delivery was excellent. Keep up the good work. Will be coming back.


Jan 16, 2025

Stress-Free Auto Care truly live up to their name. Andrew Waibel took care of every single one of my concerns with my 2016 Dodge Charger and then some. He really worked to keep the costs down and to ensure that he could fix all of them. I really love the texts and thorough inspections that include photos and notes, it helped me feel at ease and well informed. I will be coming here from now on for all my mechanical repairs. Oh! And if you get their FREE license covers placed on your car, you’ll get a discount on your next service. Highly recommended.


Jan 16, 2025

Thank you for the expert technician who worked on my car. I personally thanked him myself as well. My Toyota feels great. I am also thankful for Alex and Andrew at the front desk. They are so knowledgeable and courteous. What a pleasure to deal with them all.


Jan 09, 2025

The people were really friendly and helpful. they did a fabulous job on my car. I have had the car back now for a few days and now and issues. problems I brought it in for were fixed and did a few extra at no labor cost which I appreciate very much All in all I am very happy and satisfied with the service. I will go back there again.


Jan 09, 2025

We just got the car repaired yesterday and they found some things that need to be fixed as well…. So far they’ve been helpful, labor cost higher but not unusual for 2024.


Jan 06, 2025

Alex is very thorough and helpful. This shop actually cares about customers as well and doing an honest job. I will be returning to receive auto care from here going forward as well as recommending to friends and family!


Jan 06, 2025

Don't book an appointment online, I booked an appointment through the website and got an email conformation. When I showed up they said they were too busy, and also said I hadn't provided my vehicle information when in the email they sent back to me it had all my information. They said by the time they could get the right parts the store would be closing, even though I had already provided all the information and never got any messages asking for anything else. They seemed confused that I had even showed up, and weren't helpful at all and a little condescending, wouldn't recommend.


Jan 06, 2025

Great place to go to! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I like how in depth thier diagnostics are.


Jan 06, 2025

I’ve bought 2 cars and a truck in the past year (teenage kids) and Stress Free was by far the most comprehensive and informative inspection of the three ON A SUNDAY MORNING! Alex was awesome at setting expectations for my daughter and me, kept us informed by text on the inspection process, and the report was very detailed with pictures. They found a couple thousand in repairs that forced the seller to agree to fix. A perfect place, especially for out of towners like us to bring a car for a pre purchase inspection. There is no better place in Sacramento.


Jan 06, 2025

When they say "Stress-Free", they mean it! My experience was just great. I brought in my Rav4 the day after it all of a sudden started to act up and since I rely heavily on my vehicle for the type of work I do, I did not want to take any chances. To say that I was stressed is underrated....I was in full panic mode. I did a brief research reading reviews and chose this place based on that and SO glad I did. Alex and the crew were amazing...understanding, knowledgeable, and accommodating. This business offers complimentary lift if you absolutely need it (which I did!) and financing that really saved me because otherwise I could not afford to pay for the repairs and therefore could not work. Alex pretty much held my hand through the whole process. Yes, the repairs were be expensive, but isn't everything nowadays? The level of service, honesty, friendliness, constant communication was great! You get a really detailed visual inspection, so you know what needs to be addressed based on the urgency. At this initial visit, they took care of what was absolutely necessary to make sure I can be safe and confident driving my car for the time being. I will DEFINITELY be back to take care of the rest of the things once I am ready. Overall a great experience and my car drives even better than before the problems that were addressed at this time. THANK YOU so much!!!


Jan 06, 2025

Amazing fast service! Andrew made the process so easy and and stress free! The communication was great and I love the digital reports and the break downs!


Jan 06, 2025

As a guy who has worked on cars professionally for 8 years and for fun the last 20 years I can say this shop holds itself to a higher stander. I was unable to get my oil changed here due to the drain plug being over torqued by folsom Glenn carwash and lube but they checked everything. Best thing is they take photos to prove it, as a shop guy myself I know if someone doesn't believe you you take a photo or video. Theses guys are on full display to prove they are truly the best. I hope any shop guys like me who are wondering who to trust try these guys out, it's worth it.


Jan 06, 2025

Friendly, honest and thorough. Great inspections!


Jan 06, 2025

Good service!


Jan 06, 2025

I can’t say enough good things about Stress-Free Auto Care! My car had been spilling gas, and I was really concerned about what could be causing it. Their team quickly performed a diagnostic test and found that the issue was due to my fuel pump not being tightened properly during a previous replacement at another auto shop. What truly impressed me was how they sent detailed pictures and updates throughout the process, explaining everything clearly so I understood what was going on. To my surprise, they tightened the fuel pump and fixed the issue — and they didn’t even charge me for it! Their honesty, professionalism, and excellent customer service have earned my trust. If you’re looking for a reliable auto shop that truly cares about their customers, I highly recommend Stress-Free Auto Care. They’ve definitely gained a loyal customer in me!

I have taken my 14 Is 350 here since I got the car a few month’s ago. They did a full inspection, oil change, transmission fluid flush and recommended a few other things that needed attention. Alex and one other younger gentleman has been amazing every visit. I am very skeptical when it comes to auto repair shops as my experiences has not always been great. SO FAR ..the transparency, knowledge and trust from the staff has been 5/5. Most recently I had my check engine light come on with a few mis fires. They needed to keep my car overnight so they gave me a courtesy car free of charge which was amazing. I have not come across a shop with such transparency and support for hard times when your car breaks down. My ONLY beef or critic is that this shop is not cheap or budget friendly BUT if you want the job done right with peace of mind go see Alex on Fulton/ Exposition in Sacramento he will take care of you!

I recently took my Toyota to Stress-Free Auto Care on Arden Way for a brake inspection, and I was thoroughly impressed with their service. The team quickly diagnosed the issue and provided a clear estimate for the necessary repairs. What stood out to me was their thorough approach—along with the brake inspection, they did a comprehensive check of the entire vehicle and recommended other areas that might need attention in the near future. What truly set them apart was their transparency. They sent photos and videos of the parts and work areas, so I could visually track the condition of my car. It was incredibly helpful to see the exact state of things before moving forward with any repairs. Communication was also seamless; I received updates throughout the day via text, which allowed me to stay informed on the progress of the work. The team worked efficiently and had my car ready by the end of the day, which I really appreciated. The entire experience was smooth and stress-free, as promised. I would absolutely recommend Stress-Free Auto Care for anyone in need of auto repair services. Their professionalism, transparency, and excellent customer service made all the difference.


Jan 06, 2025

Very helpful and great customer service!


Dec 06, 2024

10/10 second time going there. Everyone is always friendly and very helpful. Their level of knowledge and friendliness is unmatched and will be back every time I need servicing.


Dec 06, 2024

Alex and his team are amazing. I have taken my car to them a few times. They inform and notify of everything every step of the way. My 98 Mercury was giving me issues and they helped tremendously with getting my car fixed. From my heater and AC to my spark plugs and manifold. Amazing crew. Thank you all for taking the time to get my car fixed and running smoothly.

Great work and customer service

Stress -Free Auto Care offers you top quality auto service and they are very friendly and honest. I recommend them and I believe you should give them a try.


Dec 06, 2024

Stress Free Auto Care was so nice to work with. The work got done same day, clear communication through the entire process. The staff was friendly and helpful. I'm happy giving my business to Stress Free Auto Care, knowing it's established with high morals and standards for customers experience. I'll 100% be bringing my vehicle back for any work needed.


Dec 06, 2024

Stress free auto was the best auto shop I’ve ever been to. From the moment I called I was able to get approved approved for a loan to help pay for any problems I had. And when I dropped the car off Alex was really nice and helpful. I was able to get more than my breaks fixed because of the loan and plus I love how the diagnostic sends you information about everything that’s wrong with your car. I went in for breaks but after I received my report I got to find out everything that was wrong with my car so I was able to get a head start and fix slot more than the breaks. As a disabled veteran and woman people take huge advantage of me and I’ve been scammed at auto shops but this was the only shop where I felt safe and actually could trust that the shop had my back. Thank you to Alex and the mechanic who fixed my car and saved me a lot of money. I got parts that were way more affordable here than anywhere else. Fork the clean facility to the awesome customer service I really thank stress auto for being in Sacramento. Wish I knew about you guys a lot sooner!! I will definitely recommend this place to other friends, family, and coworkers.


Dec 06, 2024

The customer service at Stress-Free Auto Care is fantastic. Also the care & service they gave to my car was excellent. I had an oil change & needed to have a brake light replaced. They kept me updated on everything they did & notified me the minute my car was ready.


Dec 06, 2024

The repair was well done and took care of the problem; and the customer service was the best one could ask for. I was treated cordially and respectfully and any questions or concerns were answered right away--both from the automotive service technician and customer service specialist. I would highly recommend Stress-Free Auto for both repair service and customer service.


Dec 06, 2024

They were very sufficient and adequate with the job as always and very happy with the great customer service and definitely recommend them. They name of the company says it all!


Dec 06, 2024

Top notch. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Really streamlined and modern. Photos and videos of my car. They let me know things to monitor and most importantly what needed immediate attention. Guided me what I should fix first and what could wait until my next paycheck. This is honesty. And transparency. I'll certainly come back. Highly recommend.


Dec 06, 2024

Very friendly staff, Took the time to let me know every step that was going on.
