Meineke Car Care Center

I began experiencing serious performance problems with my SUV and was reluctant to have repairs done other than by my auto mechanic shop. In my case, I had symptoms that could have been misdiagnosed as either a transmission problem or, a fuel delivery issue.
I then realized that my exhaust system could be contributing to my performance issues and diagnostic and repair work should only be performed by exhaust specialists; I wanted to avoid spending time and money by having my vehicle worked on by my mechanic. I then visited my local Meineke Car Care Center on Main St., Passaic. This would be my first visit here.
At first, I was somewhat uncomfortable with turning over my vehicle to a muffler shop. However, once I met the manager, Omar, and the owner, Jay, it became clear to me that I was in the right place and that Meineke’s diagnostic and repair capabilities went far beyond muffler replacement.
Their shop is a genuine down and dirty, no nonsense busy enterprise where servicing your car and communicating with the customer is priority ONE. My comfort level was quickly raised as both Omar and Jay patiently explained to me the method they would use to properly diagnose and rectify my vehicle’s problems.
There were no hidden agendas, no hidden charges or extras. My vehicle was taken into the shop quickly and the work performed efficiently and quickly. I was especially impressed with their welding skills as this is a critical part of all exhaust system work. Leak tests were performed and the vehicle test driven as well. A small waiting area with TV and reading material served the purpose and a decent deli is located up the block all of which made my wait more comfortable.
As a new customer, I highly recommend this Meineke location and would return to them for servicing my vehicles.
