After two years of using Ali's shop for servicing my car, I noticed a rumbling sound in the wheels, and dropped it off for a full diagnostic. He called me, said a bunch of stuff needed to be replaced, the first item I expected, and the rest I trusted his expertise. He said a number at the end, "it's gonna be $1300". I said ok. I came back after two days, the bill was $4700. He never gave me that number over the phone, or emailed me the quote. He misquoted me on purpose. I was in a hurry to leave for work (he knows I'm always in a hurry and don't have time), so after 20 minutes of trying to talk sense into him that I never agreed to this price, and him stone-cold facing me saying that's what the price is, I bent and coughed the money. He was super rude about it, blaming me for thinking that all those items would only cost $1300, calling me crazy. I ended up in tears because I simply didn't have the money and would never agree to have all those items replaced if I knew the price. Absolutely terrible experience and unfair tactics to squeeze money out of customers, especially since he knows I have zero knowledge about auto repair.

Ray’s Auto Repair and Tires performed an incredible and affordable Oil Change and Lube Service for me, including an overview inspection of the vehicle so that plans can be made to deal with any important repairs necessary to keep the vehicle safe on the road. I highly recommend their customer service performed very professionally and in a timely manner.

The first service I've done at Ray's happened to be a costly one (costly in general) you probably do once while you own a car, and I'm not familiar with the mechanics of the car, so it's hard for me to say if Ray's offered the best deal. Having that said, it was very easy to make an appointment, they ordered the parts I needed that day, so I was able to bring my car just a few hours later, which I appreciated. Everyone at the shop was very friendly, and I felt valued as a customer. They also provided me quotes for other things I should probably fix in the near feature, and that was useful.

Stopped by on the way home because I kept getting a “low pressure” warning on one tire. Figured by the third time after filling it with air, I better get it looked at. The guys saw me right away, found a couple of nails and fixed it immediately and sent me on my way. Great experience.

If all one-star reviews talk about the same thing, then you should beware. This place is a SCAM. Very dishonest. They seize every opportunity to take advantage of you. If you don't look like you know cars, DON'T GO THERE. If you are communicating over the phone about additional services, MAKE SURE YOU TALK ABOUT PRICE. I originally brought in my car for an oil change. I asked for a quote and it was reasonable. Few hours later they called to say the brake and filter also need to be changed, and I agreed. We didn’t talk about price because I didn’t feel the need to, these are regular services. Here comes the surprise - The bill was almost $1500 when I pick up. I’ve owned my car for many years and it should be $500 at most. The owner keeps claiming that this is a reasonable price and his tone became aggressive. He's a big guy. I'm a small woman. It was dark, we were the only ones in the shop. I felt threatened and had to pay and leave. This is a very, very disgusting experience. This shop doesn’t deserve any trust.

I went to get an alignment done knowing I had suspension issues and the mechanic Jose ran a quick diagnostic when I explained what the car does he was transparent and knew exactly what the issue was with my truck went and got the parts I thought I was gonna need to change a lot of suspension parts . Went and got the parts (trailing arm ) and fixed my issues now I’m back on the streets with working truck. Very knowledgeable and transparent they got another happy customer . Thank you I would highly recommend this auto shop and very trust worthy.

I had a slow leak which turned out to be a nail at edge of sidewall of tire. Told me that spot is difficult to patch & possibility to fail. They priced a new tire to match others, called around to find one & told me it would take a day to arrive. They let me weigh the risks/ options without pressure. I decided on a new tire. I made an installation appointment that fit my schedule & they put it on immediately when I arrived early.

Great experience! They quickly ran a diagnostic check and replaced my battery without any upsell. The price was fair and reasonable—no surprises on the bill. The staff was friendly, easy to talk to, and explained everything clearly. Highly recommend for honest and reliable service!

I had a great experience with Stress Free Auto Care. I called in the morning to see if I can take my car in at that moment because the car wouldn’t hold a charge after jump starting it. The person I spoke to on the phone was very friendly, helpful and thorough and was able to get me appointment at that time. When I went to the shop, I was instantly greeted by the mechanics. Jordan, in the Redwood City shop was amazing. He was very helpful, very friendly and explained to me everything and made sure they were transparent with the cost. I really appreciate the text updates I was getting throughout the service as well as that it was easy to contact the shop. Overall, 10/10 customer and auto service. No complaints. Definitely would come back to take my car here again.
