great customer service in every aspect, trustworthy mechanics, fair pricing, i would send my elderly parents to them , i highly recommend them.
Vehicle was shutting off in traffic. Crankshaft position sensor had to be replaced. Service went very good.
I called them after being told it was impossible to do everything I wanted in one place, but they diagnosed my car and gave me the results quickly. I'm planning to go back with another car. I totally recommend them.
This is my go-to shop. I’ve been here for a few different car repairs, and they are always honest and amazing. I highly recommend them to anyone needing mechanical work!
Very knowledgeable staff..,.
Great service! I've been going to Meineke for several years. Friendly, professional staff. Jason is always good at explaining the needs and priorities for the work needed. Great to deal with. Very reasonable prices for quality work! Highly recommend this shop.
Everyone was very professional. The service was excellent. They were up front about all costs with a no pressure approach.

Wonderful, courteous, personal service! Thank you all for helping me get the right car for my sons’ first. I feel so much better knowing he’s in a safe car checked over by Jason and your service team❤️

6/9/2025 called Meineke to let them know that on 6/7/2025 again my 1994 Chevy truck had a transmission puddle underneath on my driveway when I moved my truck to take it out. That’s when I noticed the puddle I called Meineke that same day. They scheduled me to bring it in on 6/9 at 1:00 pm After a couple hours I…
Oil change n tire rotation, the staff was fantastic all around. I’ll be back
They are wonderful and very helpful. Iam going there for any problems with my vehicles. I was going to another place and they totally screwed my car up. Meineke is a very trustworthy business and Iam glad they are here in town.
Good honest people, family owned, lots of automotive knowledge and experience. I have taken all my cars there for the last 5 years and have nothing but good things to say about the care I have received.
Fuel injection replacement
I recently failed a Smog test and went here to have a Diagnostic ran on my car to see why. I also, recently put a new battery in my car. These guys were so honest and helpful all I need to do is drive my car more so the systems reset before re-testing. Thanks for being an honest mechanic! I would totally recommend them to others.
Meineke was very professional. They gave me answers to my problem right away. I feel this company is honest and has integrity.
I feel safe with Meinike in our town of Santa Maria, CA, in that they are thorough and will not try to sell you anything you don’t really need. They have always been honest with me as a customer.
Not Impressed. 2nd time here. 1st time a replied to a offer mailed to me for a Oil Change at a discounted rate. The rate was average, but I went over to get a oil change and they said they didn't have time for a oil change and really didn't want to do it anytime. Basically let me know that they didn't want to…
Professional and kind. Went in for a new twin turbo, clean shop tons of good reviews so I decided this is the shop I'm going to make a good relationship with. Employee's were smiling and engaging. I'm glad I picked this shop to work on my car. Thanks guys!
Very professional, fast and efficient but most importantly trust worthy.

I was expecting a week for sure but NO it was fixed in 4 days! This shop is crazy busy make an appointment! Edit*** I made an…
Chuck and his team are proficient and always available for any questions my partner and I may have. Chuck has done ALL my maintenance on my Jeep Commander and my Nissan Rogue. I have referred people to him throughout the years.
