Brakes checked, window wipers replaced. Excellent service, cheerful helpful employees 👏
Great service everything was explained before anything was done. Would recommend Meineke to everyone.
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.
I can’t say enough positive things about Meineke. The staff is friendly, accommodating and professional. They have provided outstanding service always. From making the appointment, to recommendations on services, to finished work we have always been very pleased. They keep our cars running and safe. I would…
Chucks meineke in Santa Maria California was the best service. We had brake issues on our way back from Santa Cruz and we were staying overnight in Santa Maria. we drove over in the morning to see if they could take a look. We didn’t have an appointment and they were very busy but said they would work us in. They…
They have the best service and prices they are awesome Santa Maria Meineke are always the best repair shop
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.
I reached out for auto care years ago I found kind service and great repairs now one a second car w guys and continue to return thanks guys!!!
Professional, responsive and did not upsell me. I will be going back for future repairs!
Traveling and needed fast service to get back on the road. Not only did they open up early for me, they had my truck diagnosed and fixed within a couple of hours! Wonderful service, accommodating and professional. Highly recommend.
I had a near complete brake replacement. Front rotors and pads replaced. Rear drums resurfaced, new shoes and hardware. I am dissatisfied with the service. While they stayed late to finish, they started 3 hous later than the appointment time. Service needed on rear brakes is questionable. Pricing was much higher…
They did a great job
Very good communication.
Great customer service! Was recommended by a friend and very pleased with the service. Would have liked a faster turn around but I understand everyone is still hurting with keeping full staff right now and I think the guys did a fantastic job. Service was thorough, included all the extra checks and they were very…
Second review. First Jason was awesome. He was helpful and frankly very honest. I’ve got five vehicles and I used that to negotiate pricing. He stood by they do good work and always let you know what they are going to charge which I like. That said I asked them to diagnose my check engine light and let me know the…
Check in was fast and easy. They performed the needed service in a timely manner at a fair price. What more could you ask for?
Everything was great except the time. I made an appointment for 1 and they didn’t start until 2.
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…
Detailed recommendations for future work. Quick repair and a good price.
Very professional, fast and efficient but most importantly trust worthy.
Awesome job they found a bad wheel bearing when I went there for brakes I thought I needed a wheel alignment so very happy about the safety check up.
They did an excellent job, they were fast, efficient, and hard working. Thanks.
Great service and quality work!

Great prices and great services.
Professional and really showed they care about doing the job correctly. Great staff and atmosphere. Highly recommend!
I took my car in to get an oil change and my brakes serviced back in October. Come to find out they didn’t charge my card until two months later in December. This was extremely inconsiderate and inconvenient to me as it is the holidays and I had some shopping to do. My card should have been charged when I got my car…
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.
