I described it as overpriced, but it's not entirely their fault. I normally pay$80 for a full synthetic oil change and there's was over a hundred, but the prices of oil and relevant equipment is very high and they're a chain. So it's understandable

Amazing!!!! No fuss, polite, to the point! Came in to get my engine splash shield reattached, worried about how expensive ANY car repairs are- to my relief & delight I wasn't charged a cent! Chilled in their waiting room less than 30 minutes even with 3 folks ahead of me! I'll definitely be back.

Bill and his crew will stand up for you. They are genuinely, genuine guys who actually are about fixing your vehicle correctly with a good price. I was told from a different shop that I needed a different part fixed that would have cost me double what I actually needed. I brought it to bill to confirm it and the other shop was completely wrong. My car drives perfectly now with no signs of the problem I used to have popping up. If you don’t know what is wrong with your car and need a crew to trust. Meineke is the place to go. Thank you Bill.

I can't say enough about the manager, Bill. He was upfront and honest with me about the repairs that were needed, what it would entail and the approximate cost up front. When he needed a certain part that was unavailable for 2 weeks, he went above and beyond to find the part, calling in favors at 4 different places to get it in less than 2 days instead of waiting for 2 weeks. He also went above and beyond giving me the best price that he could. I couldn't be any happier with the service there, and now I am going to have all of my repairs and maintenance done there. Thanks, Bill.

We're honored to have earned your trust for all your future maintenance and repairs, and we look forward to seeing you again at the shop.

Doesn't know the meaning of an appointment. Showed up 15 minutes early for an early morning appointment, told there were several people ahead of me and it would be a couple hour wait. He said they don't control how busy their schedule is. Really? They schedule the appointments. Felt like I was in that Seinfeld episode. You just wasted an hour of my time. We'll be taking our business elsewhere from now on.

Response from the owner · 4 months ago

Mike, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. We certainly aim to honor appointment times, and I understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive early and still face a significant wait. We're reviewing our scheduling process to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Have used Meineke at least three times. Relatively easy to get appointments, good communication, and Bill was upfront when a car was not worth sinking more $ into and walked me thru end of life options (for car, not me...I hope I have some solid mileage left). Recommend!

Hi Jim, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It's great to hear that Bill was able to provide clear guidance on your vehicle's end-of-life options. We always aim for straightforward communication and are glad you found our appointment process easy to navigate. Thanks for recommending us!
