great customer service in every aspect, trustworthy mechanics, fair pricing, i would send my elderly parents to them , i highly recommend them.
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.

Chris and Jason are so busy but they sure do take good care of my vehicles! I trust their service has the best quality for the price. I only go to Chuck Weber’s meineke for all my vehicle’s needs! Highly recommended!!!

I have gone to Meineke for years. Always have trusted them and they have never proved me wrong. Staff is always friendly and professional. I’ve never left their business feeling angry or unsatisfied.
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…

Front End alignment I was scheduled for 8:00 AM they where waiting for me as scheduled they did the work gave me a written report showing the adjustments that were made to correct the issues they where very professional and did a great job
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’m a busy businessman. I had a day and time I needed. They didn’t have it available. Called me back within 30 min that they were able give me the day and time slot I needed. Customer service was excellent at check in and check out. Wil oil change I got a Free tire rotation. I asked them to replace windshield wipers…
Excellent!!!!
Went in with concern of sound coming from engine. One issue to the next but am glad that all issues were resolved before needing to replace entire engine. Chris & team were great at communicating issues as they arose, as well as wonderful at fixing issues at hand.
Use these guys instead of any dealership. Great service, honest management.
Friendly and professional staff, quick service, reasonable price.
Very polite people. They made me feel comfortable and I believe they took good care of my car. Oil change, they checked hoses. All good!
Everything went smoothly. All were helpful and friendly. Thank you!
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…
Great service at a good price.
Great customer service and reliable services.
Went in to diagnose my car that was smoking lightly. Paid $80+ for them to check it. They said it was an old valve cover gasket that was barely even there, all broken and brittle. Told me it would be $1000+ to replace it, SO I DID IT MYSELF. After taking it apart, I realized the person was lying because my…
Absolutely love bringing my car here. Trustworthy people! They never try to up sale unnecessary work, this is the place for all your car needs.
Excellent service at an extremely reasonable cost. As I waited for my oil service, I watched them interact with other customers that came in. In every case, they were polite, informative and honest about what the customer needed to have done and what they didn't. Definitely nice to see a business that does right by their customers.
Highly recommend this business. Customer service is top notch as is the servicing of the car.
Chuck and crew were helpful in making the repair. And he communicated well with another customer who was at the counter while I was waiting in the waiting area. I was stunned by the level of help Chuck offered. He was able to clearly communicate a great deal of relevant knowledge, and I learned a lot just listening!
I went here cause they were honest & that's hard to find in today's world.
Been using for a few yesrs. No need to go anywhere else.
Very happy with their service
This is now my place to go when my car won’t! I was nervous to take my car to a shop not knowing anyone here. I was greeted immediately by John he did what he could as soon as he could. 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…
The people were very personable the job was done correctly the pricing was a little intense but I come from a small town in the central valley beyond the pricing everything was wonderful
Service was good. I was disappointed that workers were not wearing masks
I love the fast, friendly service. I choose to drive here a half hour away from my home to service my car here instead of staying in town. Best service I have had in a long time. The front desk person also knew I had a time constraint that day and made sure service was done early! Will be coming back :)
Went down to Meineke and and chuck took care of us. As we needed it done as soon as possible
