Meineke Car Care Center

I regularly take my vehicle here because it is close to my work and they have been quite reliable. My husband manages a car dealership and I can take my vehicle there, but even with the dealership's employee discount, the cost is similar. My car needed an oil change, air filter, cabin air filter and I thought a transmission service at a little over 56000 miles. I bought the car used with 28000 miles on it and have to keep up regular maintenance to keep my service contract valid. I have also been dropping a few pounds of pressure in one tire so I needed that checked out. I received a call on Saturday morning that my time slot for 10:30 had been double booked. They asked if I could bring it at noon. Since I work quite nearby I asked if I could still drop it off before work. That was fine. After the initial inspection, I was told that I DID NOT need a transmission service. That makes me feel more trustworthy when they could have taken my money and didn't. They didn't find anything wrong

This Place estimated 3 times what Buckeyes charged me. They told me 187.00 an hour shop rate and 3 hours labor over 500.00. The bill was 93.00 from their competitor. The person said he could lower the bill to 450.00 and as I was walking away he said 350.00. This shop just tried to see what you can pay and take you for it. Their policy of estimating and charging I have experienced 2 different times. I would never use this company again and consider their practices unethical and a scam.

Meineke was awesome and the person in charge of my car was a very real and honest guy. Genuinely looked out for the best for me and ultimately got my car fully up and running despite its problems. Fantastic service as always they will be my to go car shop.
