Excellent service, reliable and reasonable
I had an appointment but when I got there it wasn't in the book. They were kind enough to get me in anyway while I waited.
Always a pleasant experience when I come to this location meineke, always honest fast and reasonable!
As always Ryan proved why he is the best! I always receive wonderful service and the team is so trustworthy. It is so important to find a mechanic with integrity and you've definitely got that here. I won't take my car anywhere else!
There’s no more reliable place than Meineke. They are dependable, professional, accommodating, honest, and friendly. I’ve had my car serviced by them for years, and wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Ryan is always incredibly pleasant. A pleasurable and affordable experience. It's nice to be able to go to a place as a woman and not feel taken advantage of.
I want to thank Mr. Rabiger again for exceptional service went to get my car inspected and I was in and out before the program I was watching on the TV went off. Now you know that was fast and A1 Service!! The price was great and passed with flying colors did not have to get any work done!! Thank You Jesus! The…
They were able to get me in and out for my inspection fast enough that I was back at the office before my lunch break was over, and were incredibly transparent about what they found, what the cost would be to fix it, and how long I could wait to get it done. Very impressed and I’ll definitely be back!
Always reliable, and I am given honest information about my car's condition and needs.
Ive been going for a few years due to convenience for oil changes and inspections. It is always the same man at the desk who is nice and seems honest. He clearly reviews the appointments prior because he knows what I am there for when I mention my car. I have only had good experiences so far. Would definitely recommend
Just an oil change and tire rotation. Fair price.
I’ve gone to this Meineke twice now (oil change & inspection) and the service, price point, and turn around time have all exceeded my expectations! Ryan is very kind, helpful & knowledgeable. I will continue to go to this location for as long as I live in the area.
Always a pleasant experience. Ryan and team are knowledgeable, experienced and price is always on point.
I have been going there for years and totally trust my car will be serviced honesty and reasonable priced.
Longstanding reputation for honesty, thoroughness and great customer service. My older brother has gone here for years and now my son and I do as well.
Great experience at Meineke. The staff was professional, friendly, and straightforward throughout the process. They completed my inspection efficiently, explained everything clearly, and I did not feel pressured into unnecessary repairs or services. The pricing was reasonable, and the overall experience was good. I…
Ryan and his team did a great job. Always appreciate the work and honesty.
Great people, fast service! Will be going back.
This is an independently owned shop, maybe that’s why it has excellent service. Came for an inspection and an oil change, both were delivered very quickly with an apointment. Ryan was professional, courteous and welcoming. Trust the reviews on this, I’m a real customer.
The staff is always very professional and courteous. The staff is well informed, and they are very honest with their customers.
Work always done professionally never ever had a bad experience this is my go to place!
I’ve been using Meineke for a couple years now. I used the one on Ridge Avenue in Phila. PA, 19128. I always have a great experience, with getting my car needs taken care of, especially by Ryan. I always appreciate the quick service and the top-notch work thanks to Ryan and Meineke.
Ryan was very helpful. He gave me straightforward information and an appointment and everything went according to plan. No surprises or hidden fees!
My experience with Meineke was excellent. I was able to schedule appointment around work schedule.
Always get excellent service. Honest people. Very professional. They gonabove and beyond . Wouldn't go anywhere else
I showed up here with no appointment for an inspection and emissions after a poor experience at another local shop and these folks could not have been more accommodating. If you want great service from great people at very reasonable prices I would highly suggest this place for all your auto needs.
Excellent service, accommodated an emergent request. Kept me well informed. Honest..we talked about replacing the air filters and it was not needed. Very happy with the service!
Great place to go for a car inspection. This was our second time bringing our car here, and once again, the experience was excellent. The team is efficient, welcoming, and professional. Most importantly, the work is done right. Highly recommended!
Always a good experience have been going there for years. Ryan is always been nice to us through the years. No longer live in Philly but drive there cause we trust them.
Great staff and quality service.
Very efficient, fast, and friendly. Have been here for an inspection and oil change two separate times, and had great experiences both times.
Always a pleasure to trust Ryan and crew I wouldn’t take our 3 autos anywhere else
Just got an inspection here - great experience. Took under an hour and the waiting area was clean and comfortable. Ryan even let me know about maintenance I’ll want to plan for in the future based on how many miles I put on the vehicle. Highly recommend this shop.
Great customer service! Thanks Ryan!
they operate their business the way I like it. You bring your car in tell them what’s wrong they check it. They tell you they can fix it. They tell you the price they make you an appointment you bring your car in and they call you and tell you, it’s done. They are Polite, Fair, Personable, An honest. I wish I Knew…
Always great! I've been going to this Meineke location for 5-6 years now and they have never done me wrong. Always apply additional coupons and never try to upsell me on stuff I don't need. Flexible with scheduling and are honest people. Thank you!
Great service. Direct and honest. Good work done on schedule. Updating this post. I have continued to have work and maintenance done. The quality, timeliness, and fairness is still great. Can't recommend more.
This company is very well run. Super efficient and thorough. Your car is ready when they tell you it will be.
Always GREAT service and never a long wait. Always honest and fair... I wouldn't take my vehicle anywhere else.
Fast and affordable! The dealership quoted me a price three times what I was charged.
The work is excellent and at a reasonable price, the staff is always professional and polite.
Friendly and quick service, good communication. I will visit Meineke Roxborough again for sure.
Meineke in Roxborough has been my mechanic for at least 30 years and I never had to return my vehicles for anything that has been worked on. 5 STARRS all the time. Thank you Ryan and employees.
I depend on this shop for routine service for my little 2012 Ford Fiesta. They are always competent, quick, careful, friendly. I am so glad they are there for me.
Great customer service, responsive and affordable.
Ryan and his team service our cars and it’s ALWAYS a good experience. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
ryan and the guys are the only mechanics i trust in the neighborhood!
PA Auto Inspection performed quickly and with a great report on the mechanic's observations. Appointment set up was straight-forward and my inspection was completed in a timely manner.
Ryan was knowledgeable and was able to source parts and fix my car within hours, even though I was a walk-in. Very fast service and affordable pricing! Will return.
I’ve been a customer since I was old enough to drive. Thank you to Ryan and the team for your incredible service, year after year.
Great service, very accommodating, honest, friendly. They squeezed me in for a last minute inspection and oil change before a road trip. This is my new go-to place.
I had a very positive experience getting my car inspected here. They found that I needed to replace my tail lights, but they suggested affordable routes and went above and beyond to get my car all set in the timeframe I needed. I will definitely be returning.
Friendly good old fashioned service!
Incredible service. Made an appointment online. Drop off was smooth. Pick up was easy. So grateful for the honest work and to have a wonderful local car shop! Highly recommend!
11/2025 - Once again Ryan and the crew at the Roxborough. Meineke went above and beyond to keep my 2004 RAV4 in good running condition. My car has 260,000 miles on it and is definitely feeling it’s age. The Meineke crew did a great job of addressing all its issues and doing even more than expected, all for a very…
Instead of dropping my car off for inspection, I waited for it to be done this time. From the time I arrived until it was finished and I was ready to leave was under 2 hours. That was with having rear brakes and rotors as well marker lamps being replaced. Great service.
Quick and super friendly! Recently went back for inspection and Asked the a question about my car that was totally off topic. Ryan looked into the next day and called me with some suggestion. Very helpful and great service overall. Update 6/4: my car randomly started smelling like burning rubber so I pulled in in…
Meineke on Ridge has always been super reliable and straightforward. I truly appreciate their honesty, integrity and helpfulness when explaining what they are doing with your car.
Making my reservation online was easy. My car came in for inspection, needed some unexpected repairs and the team was still able to get it back to me ahead of schedule.
Excellent service, as usual!!!
Friendly, professional, always give accurate estimates of time required for any job!
Did PA Inspection on time, reasonable price and friendly
Always a great experience with honest guys. Highly recommended.
Had appointment for 11AM for inspection. I arrived early and they started working on my car immediately My vehicle was finished quickly. I trust Ryan and his mechanics I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else
Fast and Efficient service!
Always great service from a friendly staff. These guys always take care of the customer.
Friendly and helpful!
Great service and super nice staff
Another year, another inspection. Fast service, good work. The only place that I go to for state inspections!
I’ve been going to this Meineke for several years now. Great people who know their stuff! Anyone who has car issues that live in Roxborough, I recommend going to.
Fell safe when I take my car there.yes
Steve Innis is amazing!
The people there are great
I am a repeat customer for 5 years. I can count on great communication and the work being done timely!
Amazing costumer service, especially Steve and Ryan!! They’re too notch!! Quick and friendly service! The best!! Recommend highly!
Ryan and his team worked efficiently and effectively to get this job done timely. This has been true for the 12 years we have been coming to Ryan’s Meineke shop. It was true, today, and it will be true each time we bring in our cars in the future. Meineke is our first call for car service.
I’ve had multiple services taken care of here over the past few years including 2 yearly inspections and multiple oil changes. I’ve had great experiences each & every time. The staff knows what they are doing while also being very friendly & accommodating.
They do good work. Good turn around time.They keep you informed on what they are going to do. If you need anything additional they call 1st . You can feel confident going here.
Service excellent
Ryan at Meineke is an upstanding, fair, and competent mechanic. You will be treated well and not oversold or upcharged here. Trustworthy and honest work at good prices. I won't go anywhere else!
Went in to get an inspections and oil change. It was very fast and hassle free!
I have been a customer for 15 years. I feel confident that the work is top quality and guaranteed. I would recommend Meineke to anyone.
This place is great. Honest, reliable, and reasonably priced. They go out of their way for you on even the little things - for example, for my state inspection they pointed out the key fob battery is low, they were going to even replace it on the spot but were out of stock and said they would order and replace it…
I had a great experience here. They fit me in right away on a Friday before a holiday weekend and were extremely helpful and thorough. I will definitely be returning.
Always reliable, fair, reasonable, respectful, and excellent car care. This is the only place to take your car. Thank you for another positive pleasant experience.
Great service!
Excellent service.
We've been going to this Meineke location #207 for 30+ years. There is absolutely no auto problem that I wouldn't trust Ryan to diagnose and repair. He's the absolute best! We still drive back there for service after moving to Montco over 20 years ago.
Great service, quick and friendly. Have been going there with 3 different cars for 7+ years and always happy with experience. Needed transmission work, one time, and they recommended another great shop for service. I moved from the area and had to return to using this location because it’s hard to find trustworthy mechanics, apparently.
Ryan did a good job! Answered questions Got job done in a timely manner
I needed to have my car inspected. They were fast and friendly. It was a really good experience
I go here all the time. Friendly, timely service. They even used a coupon for me that I didn't know about. I highly recommend this location!
The team at this location is prompt and thorough. I appreciate that they are quick to assess if they cannot complete the work, and one time did not charge me even though they took time to look at my air conditioner. They will have my business for all oil changes, maintenance, and inspections!
Fast and speedy professional service. Would go back again.
Great experience. Thorough yet efficient, price was great. Addressed an issue that other places couldn’t figure out. Waiting area is comfortable. I’ll definitely be returning for future car needs!
I just had my State Inspection done as well as lube/oil/filter. The service was quick (under an hour), efficient and friendly. I highly recommend this care center.
Very good at calling me to discuss repairs and also texting me as soon as car is done!
This is the only place I go to for my oil changes and inspection. They are honest, efficient and find the time to fit me in to the schedule! Great service! I’ve been a customer now for 3 years!
Ryan and the gang are always professional, fair, and friendly. They’ve been servicing my car for years and I’ve never had a problem.. 5 stars!
They got me in quickly to get my inspection done and it only took a few hours to complete, great service!
