I brought my car in because my check engine light was on, and I could not pass smog. The code suggested that it could be my Cadillac converter, which would be my worst nightmare. I checked around where I live and just to have my car diagnosed would cost closer to $200. I called Meineke and they quoted me $75. I said that I can do so I drove up to Ventura and they got me in right away I made an appointment. Well, The spirits let God were all on my side and the great mechanics at Meineke. It was only a $300 fix total. The young man at the front desk was very presentable and kind. Definitely will go back again. Recommend them very highly.

My 2007 350z sprang a water leak pulling into the garage on a late Friday afternoon. Both of my regular places for car service are closed on weekends. I googled repair shops open on Saturday and found Meneke on Telephone road. I showed up early Saturday morning and met Frank the service writer who despite their busy schedule said he would work me in. I had the car towed and they quickly diagnosed an ill fitting lower radiator hose had been cut by the AC compressor? Regardless what it was, he ordered a replacement hose and informed me depending upon the time the new part arrived that it might be Monday. Fortunately it got there early enough for them to finish on the same day AND Frank reduced the estimated cost due to the techs ability to finish quicker than the time required. A truly pleasant repair all around. I can highly recommend this shop for your auto repair needs.

I came in the morning at 8AM hoping to be the first appointment of the day so I could get in and out quickly. The gentleman behind the cash register got my information processed quickly, and did the inspection himself (just a quick ride share inspection for Uber). Everything was wrapped up and paid for in 10 minutes. The price was reasonable, and the experience was smooth and efficient. Definitely recommend for ride share inspections.

I called the night before to have my ford F350 looked at. Frank fit me in and did all the need work as well as sent me an email with all the work that would need to be done as well as when. The staff were pleasant to work with and very professional. Great job all around! I will be taking my vehicles to them from now on. A few weeks later I needed to get some new tires. The only place I will take my vehicles to now… great job Frank and his team!

Update: I spoke with Frank today regarding the experience. During the call he said he asked about what it was that I wanted (after informing him of this review) and I reminded him that the phone number was provided in reply to this review and he said he did not know why. He mentioned that the experience was brought up at the shop and pretty much tried to end the discussion there. He mentioned that they apologized to be and tried to clean it up, which is nice but it doesn't resolve the problem; something I mentioned. He then said I can come back and have them clean it more which is quite inconvenient for me. The long and short of it is that they don't really care. Had appointment yesterday 9/10 for oil change. The employees were polite. When my truck was finish I noticed a lot of grease on the exterior door area by the floor and there was some on the carpet as well. I brought this to the attention of the man at the desk and he cleaned it although it looks like some of the stain is going to be permanent. I am disappointed that proper care of my vehicle was not a concern. This has never happened before. There is also grease on the floor mat that I noticed shortly after leaving.

Got all my fluids replaced on my car and my spark plugs on my Subaru WRX. Price was way cheaper than the dealership and the service was completed in about 5 hours. Everyone was friendly and took care of my vehicle. Definitely would recommend for any service they provide.

Timely work. The diagnosis text with details of what your car is recommended and needed was a nice touch. Pictures and video of what I needed to repair. Cost were reasonable for an auto shop.

Great service here! I’d go again! Frank was awesome and helpful easy going and honest. Fairly economical, informative, and also fast service. Go here if you want auto work done. It’s a friendly environment and atmosphere. I had a great experience altogether. I went in for an alignment and didn’t wait forever.

Hands down the best service. When it comes to customer service this level seems to be so rare. Helpful, educational, and truly professional. You are in great hands when you come here. Our tire got a flat they helped us. We love our new tires and our car is happy working like a dream. Thank you team Meineke.

I needed to have my car inspected in case I decide to do Uber or Lyft driving. They had the most competitive price and were super nice over the phone and in person. Miguel was awesome! They did the inspection timely and gave me the passing grade. While there, another customer was asking the prices of other car needs and I thought that they were very competitive as well. I will definitely be back when I make trips to Ventura.

I have been getting my oil changed at the Ventura location for 3 years. The customer service is awesome, and they have me in/out in 45min. I like that they give you detailed paperwork/summary on the service so you can stay up to date on your vehicle. I will continue to refer family/friends here!

I’ve been going to Meineke for about four years, and the service has consistently been excellent. Miguel at the front counter is always polite, professional, and helpful. The team has always been honest and transparent with their recommendations, which I truly appreciate. If you’re looking for reliable vehicle maintenance or service, I highly recommend this location. Great service from honest people—I’ll continue coming here for many years.

Perfect primary car care center for any Ventura resident - I’d go as far as to say if you’re from anywhere in Ventura county, I’d recommend going with this Meineke location. I was there today, with a concern about a possible bad CV axel. Frank at the front talked me through some possible reasons for the noise I was concerned with, and Miguel did a full inspection on my car. At no point did I feel pressured to make a decision. Frank and Miguel did both warn me of the potential risks of delaying repairs, however they were not pushy in the slightest. Frank gave me a whole list on everything I should bring my attention to, gave estimates, and left the decision entirely up to me. I had my front brake pads, rotors, and calipers done at Meineke, and it was done the next business day. Dropped the car off at around 4:00PM and it was ready for pickup before noon the following day. The staff at Meineke are phenomenal and very transparent. Frank is very knowledgeable and always friendly in the waiting room. Great people, superb mechanical knowledge and ability, and conveniently located!

I brought my Honda CRV 2017 into Meineke yesterday. I was referred to them by my son in law Cory Smith. And as cory mentioned, Frank was truly approachable and friendly. I brought my car in for an oil change and a general vehicle inspection. My vehicle is my other set of legs or wings, it takes me where I must go, so taking care of my car is essential. Frank showed me pictures that were taken of an issue of the air filter that obviously needed changing and he also explained issues he stated I should consider fixing in the future. He explained these issues clearly with pictures without jargon and no unnecessary upselling. His lobby was clean (as well as the bathroom!), there was a TV in the sitting area and there was coffee that I was tempted to have, but I couldnt, I had had my cup for the day. Frank is personable, professional, honest, transparent. I highly recommend Frank's Meineke Care Center! Vickie Menendez

Very good experience at Meineke Car Care Centers. I was taken in without unnecessary waiting, they listened внимательно and clearly explained what exactly needed to be done. The work was completed качественно and within the promised time. I especially appreciated that there was no pressure or attempts to upsell additional services. You can really feel the professionalism and respect for the customer. I highly recommend them!
