    I've come to this auto shop for several years now & Bob the owner always take care of all my car services. His pricing are all fair and no questions asked. I come here to get my oil change for my Honda CR-V 2014 & Toyota Scion TC 2014 and he charges only $20 if you bring your own oil & filter. If you didn't bring your own supplies then don't worry about it they have it for you and it'll be about $40-60 depending on your car make, model & mileage.

    Its Hard to find an Honest Smog Shop and this is one of them . I got the Dreaded Smog Check required on my Work Whip White Rabbit . So I designated a day to go get it . Then I saw a Coupon for a Competitor for a Smog Check for $29,95 plus the Certificate . So I rolled there where they said that price wasn't for my Vehicle and they wanted $48 more to Smog my Vehicle . I looked at the Guy and Laughed in his face and told him nice try . See Ya wouldn't want to be you and left that crook in a cloud of Dust and rolled out . I went to my old stand by Smog Shop and talked to Bob . Bob was straight forward a quoted me a price of $58.20 this was the out the door price for the Smog Check, Evap -Check and Smog Certificate Bob explained the Smog Certification Procedure required for my Year Vehicle . I told Bob what happened at the other Smog shop and he actually knew about the other shop having integrity issues. San Leandro is a Small Town word gets around. Bob had me in and out in 25 Minutes . Service with a smile . I highly Recommend Bob for your Smog Needs.

    10/04. Current situation right now.

    Big props to the Manager, Early Turner…read more Came in to get my tires rotated, and I've had some unfortunate experiences in the past where the cross rotation was done incorrectly. Early knew exactly which tires needed to be cross rotated and reassured me he had it covered. He even drew a diagram on the spot to explain it. Big props to the man. I really appreciate the experience and knowledge, sir!

    This review is for the Big O Tires at 2201 Washington Ave in San Leandr., near Old San Leandro --…read morenot the other Big O location farther south on Washington Ave. My husband brought our vehicle in for service, and while the staff was relatively nice, they were not very helpful. I can see how some of the other reviews mentioning staff attitudes may be accurate based on several visits to this shop, though that was not the main issue during this most recent visit. The larger issue was the service itself. With an appointment, it still took about **three hours** for an oil change, tire rotation, balancing, and related basic service. We also paid to have the coolant system checked/pressure-tested because there was a leak, but they did not find it. My husband later found the leak himself within about five minutes, which was frustrating and made us question how thorough the inspection was. There are also concerns about the oil change. I cannot say for certain, so I will not state it as fact, but the oil filter looked questionable afterward, with fresh oil drips and an overall appearance that made us wonder whether it had actually been replaced. At this point, this has become a safety concern for us, and that is a deal breaker, and thus overpriced/not a good value. The staff may be adequate, but we do not feel confident in the quality or thoroughness of the work. We will not be returning. 2 stars and on Google for at least they weren't rude to him.

    I really enjoyed my first visit to Stress-Free Auto Care. Requesting my appointment was easy and I…read morewas able to do it on a web browser. I was taken care of immediately when I showed up for my appointment and they even offered me a ride to and from my house for pick. I got text message updates throughout the process which included photos to see how they were diagnosing the issues with my vehicle. I could click through the option of services to see which ones I approved them to do and I chose to decline. I also liked they had a camera where you could watch them work on your car live. All in all, this was really and truly an Stress-Free place and I will definitely come back for more work in the future.

    Where do I begin? I genuinely wanted to like this place because I had read several positive…read morereviews, and my initial experience with the staff and customer service was pleasant. I brought my car in because it wasn't driving the way it normally does. They kept the vehicle for a day and contacted me the following day to recommend replacing the transmission. The estimate was approximately $9,800, which was far beyond what I expected--and, quite frankly, extremely concerning. My vehicle is not yet six years old, and I have consistently kept up with routine maintenance, including regular oil changes. Naturally, I was very disappointed to be told that I needed a replacement transmission, especially at that cost. I decided to get a second opinion from another repair shop, and I'm very glad I did. They diagnosed the issue as spark plugs and ignition coils--not a transmission problem. After replacing those components, my car is now running beautifully. I appreciate the customer service I received, but unfortunately, I cannot justify returning to a shop that would recommend a repair of nearly $10,000 when the actual issue turned out to be something significantly less expensive. I understand that diagnostics can sometimes be complicated and that different shops may reach different conclusions. However, an estimate of $9,800 is a substantial amount of money, and I strongly recommend getting a second opinion before committing to a repair of that magnitude. Thank you for your time and for the service you provided. I sincerely wish you the best, but based on this experience, I will likely may not return.

    Worse experience ever. I have been going here for at least 6 years. Once with my Buick and now with…read moremy BMW. I went to get a $110 oil change, simple right? No. Technician Samuel, replaced the filter and in the process broke my coolant hose. They then told me that Kevin(owner) would need to come and replace the hose. They had me wait and hour and a half for Kevin to arrive. As I was waiting, tech(Omar) told me this is common and happens all the time. This has never happened on my car so that did not make the situation better. I had to ask Omar multiple times when will the owner plan on getting here with no updates. Upon Kevin arriving, I ask him, "if this is so common, why don't you all have hoses on hand?." He immediately gives me attitude and tells me that "you people always harass." I say "you people?" with a look of confusion and he immediately asks as if I am bothering him because I ask him why does a customer have to wait an hour and a half for an issue they cause. In the end. He placed the hose but my coolant light is now on. Not only am I filing a claim with the Better Business Bureau but i suggest that you DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. WORSE SERVICE EVER.
