Meineke Car Care Center

Worse is when you write a review and someone from their correspondence says «they are sorry and to send a email» but you hear nothing back from them… Again, false advertising from these people!!!
Extremely dissapointed. The are advertising specials and offers, even when you go to the Unilocal ad you can see their promotions. My Uncle even recommended me to them bc they are supposed to be trustworthy and family.
I scheduled an apt with Don to get all my brakes done. I thought I would get the $ 150 off bc of what they are promoting. It wasn’t until I paid $ 514.29 and asked them about it, Don replied, its only $ 100 off and I needed a coupon…
That doesn’t feel like family to me… I felt ripped off. I already have problems bc Im a girl and wonder if that was the issue again. I feel scammed and disgusted honestly.
Got them done obviously bc I scheduled an apt but other then that, felt ripped off…
$ 514.29 instead of $ 414.29 is a huge difference and something could have been said, especially, cause I asked for everything that the special included… But its not their wallet is it…
Lesson learned obviously…

What a fantastic crew this Meineke has! Recently moved to this area and the geographic and climate change affected my battery. Called in while I was at work (Monday @ 4) to see if they could take look at my car. Was told they were booked solid until Friday! Mentioned that I just needed a quick battery check and they said they’d be more than happy to give it a quick check. When I got there, they promptly came out to my car and did check to diagnose the problem. Battery was about as dead as the roadkill I saw earlier that morning. They had the battery I needed in stock, took time out of their already packed schedule to change out the battery! Was in and out in 30 minutes! These guys rock at car care! Special shout out to Patrick and Jim for an excellent job!

After three more visits, this shop has been excellent. The manager Jim is very knowledgeable and will give you recommendations but let you know what work to hold off on. The custom exhaust work they performed on my Mustang really made the car.

I’ve been coming here in the last year to get my 15-​year-​old Suzuki serviced. These guys are honest and do a great job; they’ve replaced ancient tires and serpentine belts on my car as well as repaired the motor on my power windows. Highly recommend.

This Meineke Car Care Centre is HONEST.
They are good people and do not fake up things to earn bucks from you.
I am very particular about my car maintenance, the guys there has exceeded my expectations.
Patrick — Ur the best.
All the guys working there are very good and helpful,
I had terrible experiences with other repair centers and particularly the dealers.
I have a VW Passat, Pat helped me with a complex issue of EPC and other electrical wiring, which Charles Maund VW service center gave me wrong information about a whole part repair and replacement, however it was just a Fuse that was blown and was replaced by Pat.
Jim is their Manager and is the best person to reach out to help you with the estimates and setting up your Schedule, he is very Honest and will never bully you.
I am Glad that I have this car care centre near my home and have a peace of mind that they are there to help me .
Thank You to the whole team of this Meineke centre.
Cheers !!

I usually do not trust any car repair/​car maintenance/​car anything shops, but Meineke has gained my trust. They were completely honest, honored all their prices, and did a great, speedy job on the vehicle. Based on poor experiences I’ve had at other shops before, Meineke has gained my loyal trust and I’ll be coming here for everything from now on, provided they keep up the great service.
You should give it a shot too!

oops, well. sometimes it is too good to be true i suppose. i had this job done at 44,000 miles. so i am at 54,000 miles and today i noticed alot of squealing and metal on metal noises… so i pulled into my reg mechanic who was closed the day i had the brakes replaced by this meineke. so i see with my own eyes, they did replace the brake pads, but they sure did not machine the rotors, then charged me 90.00 for this — they are all grooved up and rusted, there is no way this happened in 10,000 miles. so, now im to spend to machine and fix what they SAID they did for me, i now know all they did was quickly replace the pads to save time, LIARS. Only if had taken of my tires and rims, would have been able see this. to say i am mad is an understatement. let me just say that i shall be sure to tell the story to every single person i know. if you cant do something right, you dont deserve repeat business. You take money from MY pocket = i take money from yours. the total job from this meineke who ripped me off: $ 267 the total to correct what they DIDNT do and fix what was further damaged due to this today, 10,000 miles later? $ 287.
total cost for choosing to go to meineke due to being in a rush: $ 554.00 brake job for a lil scion xa with only 54,000 miles on her — a 2005 model so as you can see, she is very gently used. DONT GO HERE. No one but Chelsea’s shall ever touch my cars again. When i read my rave review from before i want to scream.

I really can’t say enough about Jim Moore and this Meineke location. He is honest, and works to keep our old minivan alive and running. He also goes out of his way to give you a «heads up» on other issues we may be facing with the vehicle. Issues that his shop doesn’t even work on. Give him a shot. You be happy you did.

I took my car into this Meineke location for a routine oil change. They charged me $ 70 to get my oil changed (After a $ 20 discount mind you — the original price was $ 90!!).
About a month later, the check engine light came on in my car. There was a really rough idle and the car would stall if I came to a complete stop. I immediately towed it to the dealership and come to find out, Meineke put the wrong oil in my car, causing it to break down, even though they told me they checked what kind of oil the car needed, etc etc. Thank God my warrant still covered all the repairs and the rental.
I went back to Meineke, to at least get my money back for the oil change (which is twice as expensive as what the dealership charges for the same oil, I might add), and the guy was so rude. He would not take any responsibility for what someone at that location did — which was put the wrong oil in my car. I told him the oil was too thin and it caused it to clog. He told me they lied to me at dealership.
Really buddy, because I think it’s you who is lying to cover up your own mistake.
The only thing that could have caused my car to break down the way it did was if the oil was too thin. The least they could have done would be to take responsibility for what they did and give me my $ 75 back.
I think from now on I’ll stick to the $ 53 oil changes at the dealership, thank you very much. Wish I knew a month ago that it was cheaper at the dealership, and I wouldn’t be having this problem.

I’ve never technically had my car serviced here, but I had a great experience this morning which is why I’m taking the time to write a review.
After my car battery died earlier this week, I was told that I needed a new one, but that my positive terminal was so corroded that I might possibly also need a new cable. Ouch! Meineke was recommended to me so I called them first thing this morning to talk to them about it. They said if I came right on in, they’d take a look at it for free.
The serviceman cleaned off the corroded terminal the best that he could, and agreed with the person who told me earlier that I needed to get the cable replaced. He wasn’t able to do it there, but he was so helpful with his explanation of the corrosion and how it happens and what it does, and he didn’t charge me a penny to look at it and clean off as much of the corrosion as he could.
Because of this experience, I will likely return when I have other maintenance that can be handled by Meineke.

I started going to Meineke over this last summer. We have two old cars that we take there. They are awesome! One time I went to get my inspection done at Lambs I was told it failed for safety and to fix it would be more than $ 130. I told them to give me my car back and not to touch it. I took it to Meineke turns out a clamp had broken and it cost me $ 3 and some change for the part and $ 15 for the labor. This is just one of the many positive experiences I have had at Meineke. I will never take my car anywhere else. All the mechanics are super nice and they really take the time to explain what’s wrong to you. In addition to this they are honest!

Needed some basic exhaust work done. Took it to CaRx and knew they were trying to screw me.
Took it to meineke and they were much more honest about the repair. I will do business again with them.
