Kinda unprofessional, I walked in and there was just two 20 something’s sitting there with their feet on the counter scrolling through their phones. Once it was known I needed help they helped me out. I would advise going to a private mechanic, they were trying to charge me $160 to flush my coolant system (coolant in my car doesn’t require a flush or lifting my car up (??) which they told me they would need to do), 500 for a spark plug change. And I drive a Mazda and both of those things are really easy to do without dismantling my car. They should actually tailor the estimates to the car because people would actually pay the inflated rates if they didn’t know their cars…

I asked Meineke to reset my computer and if that didn't work to run a diagnostic for $160. The next day I get a text with invoices showing a new battery for $222, if I wanted it as well as a transmission pan for $600. I was charged for other internal parts I did not authorize as well. When I asked if it would fix the issue they said yes so I approved the pan only as I could get a cheaper battery. 2 day after, I called and was told it was all done. I paid the $900 bill over the phone and right before pickup another worker called and said he forgot to include the notes that I needed a new transmission and it was not fixed. What did I pay for? Not only am I out of $900 and have a new pan on a supposedly bad transmission, but I had even more lights lit up on the dash than when I bought it in. I ask the guy checking me out when I picked the car up why did the $160 diagnostic test not reveal this issue before, and he said he did not know anything and I would have to talk to the tech that worked on the car. They quoted me several thousand dollars for a transmission more that the car is worth. I refused and said I would do the repairs myself and the worker responded with " I thought you would say that." I found a replacement transmission from $300 + $800 range. Less that their repairs of nothing.

These guys were super helpful for installing an aftermarket exhaust on my Sprinter van. They quoted a fair price and completed both on-time and on budget! Great team- i'll be back for sure!

Edited, all fixed,!!!!!Edited from 5 to 2*; I took my car in Thursday to get an oil change and they saved the day with that! However, I had not driven the car much until today, Sunday afternoon and I have found the speedometer is now wildly inaccurate. It shows 10, 20, 30, 40 mph above what I am actually doing. Unpredictable. I can't just say its 10mph over the true speed for instance. I found I was able to use Google Maps to enter a destination & my true speed shows in it. But this is garbage. I'm sure a wire got bumped or unplugged or something simple, however this is quite inconvenient from a simple oil change issue aafterwards.Theyre not open again til either Monday or possibly Tuesday since tomorrow is a Holiday. Hopefully this can be sorted quickly and free since I trusted them to provide the oil change without causing other issues. I'll update after contacting them asap this upcoming week. (Initial review): Last minute appointment for a full synthetic oil change~ made my whole month 100% better. I had plans and another company boasted they started doing oil changes but in fact they do not, so I wasted hours of time in fact days when I could have gone elsewhere. Luckily, Meineke saved the day! The gents were great, provided great service and asked before doing any further recommended work (an air filter needed changed out but that's it). I found that to be refreshing! Thanks again, and see you in about 5k miles

The team at Meineke is super welcoming and helpful. They lay out each price and repair needed proactively and honestly, without pressure to do more than is necessary. They work with you and your budget, providing access to financing options if needed. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for with warranty and peace of mind that the work is thorough and done well. No fluff or mess. Plus they are very fast and consistent.
