    The best mechanic I ever had. I would recommend this mechanic shop to the world. I made a fat-finger error in my previous review. Sorry about that. They are professional. They are like family. The customers that come in chat with the the front desk, "Which is the owner?" It is a family-run business. I'm proud to take my car there,

    OMGosh!!! Amazing experience!!!! This store recently opened. It is conveniently located and has an incredible staff of friendly, HONEST, employees! As a woman, I have had multiple experiences, at other auto shops/centers, with ‘repair suggestions/estimates’ which were not necessary. At this location, I was treated with respect, everything was thoroughly explained to me and I left feeling very confident that my Jeep was repaired, with no worries…. what a feeling indeed! The center was super clean and comfortable during my wait. Thank you to Chris ** and the incredible staff at Meineke Car Care Center on Popps Ferry road in D’Iberville, MS.

      My left window motor on my Dodge Caravan broke leaving me with no way to close my window. I have no garage to store my vehicle. This happened around 3pm. I called Meineke of Glassboro NJ. I explained my situation, the Manager said to come in right away. I was supersized as late afternoon was approaching. I arrived at 3:30 pm and left at 5 pm. The service I received was nothing less than outstanding. I have been coming to this Meineke for the last year and will continue to come here for my repairs. Not only the Manager, but everyone working there do an exceptional job.

      This Meineke location on Union is the best since 30 years ago. The technicians care and take pride in their work. They work timely, the prices are reasonable, all technicians are in and make themselves available to work on your car. Meineke's prices beat the dealership prices anytime. I continue to come back for additional services for my car. So far Meineke has not let me down yet and my car continues to keep rolling.

      Juan who I believe is the manager is AMAZING! This location in Oak Park has only been here 10 weeks and has made me rethink my A+ and expensive mechanic who I've been with for the past 2yrs and is too far away. I will definitely be going back to Meineke Oak Park SOON. Thanks Juan for being a standup business man!!

      I still have not heard any Back from the corporate off Regarding an issue with my car that was not fixed. Instead my car was messed up. I wasted time and money smh. I will not recommend anyone to bring their car to any of these shops. This has been one of the worse experiences I’ve had with my car. I will most likely dispute these charges with my bank right away. I don’t know how I spent $1065 for alternator and serpentine tensioner belt just for a week later another location to tell me it’s faulty.

      I went in for a simple exhaust repair job. They quoted me $2300. Crazy high. Didn’t even ask about my brake. They said I need a brake rotors. What time to check the prices of the whole exhaust system and the highest price was $400. Most of them were $230. What a markup. Not very happy with Meineke again most whole system exhaust it’s it’s from the flex pipe on back was $230 so they’re charging me $$2070 for installation. What’s the world coming to?

      For the past few years I’ve been taking my cars to Meineke on San Pedro in Albuquerque. I’ve decided to stop using this company for repairs because they haven’t been very successful in getting my car fixed and they always give me a large bill like 500 for reprogramming. They don’t even tell me how much it’s going to cost until I pick up the car. The biggest problems I’ve had always seem to be when I work with Bill. I actually never had any problems when I worked with Martin but the last few times I’ve dealt with Bill and that’s why I’m done with this company. They’ve screwed me out of about 3500 on my two previous repair. My Malibu they just said they couldn’t repair but gave me a 1200 bill. My son's Volvo they said they could fix but he had to spend money to do various repairs. But after he had spent about 2500 they just told him that they couldn’t fix it. So with this company I’ve had very little benefit with large bills.

      If there was a 0 option it would be 0. I brought my son’s truck in to be looked at because the oil pressure was reading low. They then diagnosed it with needing a new oil pump after a 200$ charge for looking into the engine. We agreed to have that done for 1300. We bring it home and oil is leaking everywhere. We have it towed back and they say the mechanic who worked on it was fired and put a broken oil pan back on. We then go to drive it off the lot and the vehicle is shaking and the check engine light flashing. New to us. We turn around and bring it back and tell them this is Not how it was driving before being brought in.

      The next day they tell us it is because of a spark plug, They replace said spark plug and say the issues are fixed for now. I go to pick it up, and the vehicle is shaking and check engine light is flashing. I tell them I am not driving it like this and they need to correct whatever the problem is, because the vehicle was not doing this prior to being brought in. I then get a call saying we need a whole new engine. And an explanation that the previous tech who worked on it was fired. This is on THEM. Hopkinsville KY. Jon-manager
