The Service techs and receptionist were extremely helpful and literally save me. My car stopped functioning as I made it to their parking lot near the end of the day and they really went above and beyond to make the repairs to my car and get me back on the road same day before their closing hours. I use to come to this Meineke years ago and for the life of me I don't remember why I stopped coming, but I will definitely be coming back for future maintenance and other matters.

Gabriela was super helpful in getting me seen last minute. This is a great location, very fast and very reasonable pricing. They quoted me half of what another shop quoted for the same replacement parts and labor. I would highly recommend.

These guys have always done right by me. You call them for updates, they'll always keep you in the loop. Don't know much about cars, have a million dumb questions, they'll stay patient with you. Without saying too much, I've seen them do a lot of extra stuff behind the scenes without patting themselves on the back over it, or even mentioning it sometimes. If that's not integrity, I don't know what is. Special shout-out to Xavier and Corey, (I'm bad with names, sorry if I got it wrong, folks) but everyone I've spoken to here is someone I'd sit down and have a beer with.

Oil change came with over $1000 quote. I just had my 100,000 mile tune up within past year with our regular mechanic. Had appointment and at check in was informed that my vehicle would be in the two hour wait queue. I asked in advance, if with appointment would my vehicle be serviced at that time? yes, was the reply. Not the case, that made for a frustrating and rearrangement of the days schedule.

Best service fast and affordable. Gaby and the whole team are amazing and honest. Took care of our car on a Saturday when everywhere else wouldn't help us or even look at our car. Thank you guys again highly recommended for any auto needs.

Great service and friendly staff. I was 20 minutes late for my appointment and they still tried to accommodate me. They're very knowledgeable without being pushy. There were some things of concern with my car that they noticed while doing the oil change and they brought it to my attention while also giving me all the information I needed about it in a way someone that isn't mechanically inclined would understand. They weren't pushy about getting the service done with them but they did let me know that it should be done soon. They made it clear that not only would they be happy to do it but that they are confident they can get it done smoothly.

Fast and friendly service, they were even able to run it through my cars warranty so I didn't have to pay too much out of pocket

I got my first Full Synthetic oil change here through a friend’s recommendation. The price for the Full Synthetic oil was very reasonable. They also checked a few issues with my car and explained. The female staff member was kind and there was no pressure, so I felt comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

!!!SCAM ALERTS!!! This Shop Charged me $2100 For Full Brakes Maintenance ( NEW PADS/ROTORS/FULL SERVICES on 04/11/2024, for it to last only 9 months later (18Kmiles later). My Brakes Totally messed up, rotors scratches pads are gone, remove the wheel to check and it looks like this are NOT NEW ROTORS like what the Invoice said. Brought the Van Back to the shop and they denied to responsible for this, we ask them what brand did they use for Pads and Rotors and they said they don't know the Brand and refuse to fix. From the outside this shop looks very professional but the work they offer is FRAUD. $2100 services with no responsibility at all. Using bad parts and throw client under the bus. UNEXCEPTABLE!. We will report this to State of California Bureau of Automotive Repair as SCAM/FRAUD.

I 100% recommend this place! It was my very first time coming to Meineke for car work, and it was a great decision. Corey really did an amazing job; that's why I am more than happy to leave a review. He answered all my questions and really made my experience a 5-star one.

I haven’t had the repairs completed yet, but so far the staff has been helpful in explaining what needs to be done. I appreciate the clear communication and detailed breakdown of the work required. Looking forward to seeing how the repairs turn out.

First they told me my air filter needed to get fixed and when i checked it was missing as they forgot to put it back in the car. Second, they didnt place my wheel caps on correctly that after i got home two were missing as they had fallen on the way home. For the price of their services having these issues is ridiculous!

Nothing but liars at this location. The first time I came for an oil change the lady said to come back around 3pm. So I waited all day went back at 3 and was told they didn't have time. Said another shop right on the corner was affiliated with them but they wanted to charge over $100 for an oil change. I received a coupon in the mail $59.95 for full synthetic oil change and $5 off if booked online. Not knowing this was the same company I made an appointment. Showed up and no one was working. Another lady was waiting and had to go into the back and call for someone to come out. A guy came out and told her it would be $100 just for a regular oil change and they no longer offered synthetic blend. She walked out! I told him I had an appointment I made online and showed him the coupon. He stated they do not honor any coupons and it was $100 however, I could scan the QR code and receive a $30 rebate sometime after I got the oil change done. I asked why I just received the coupon if they don't honor them anymore. He said it was the USP'S fault for delivering them! Needless to say I did not get the oil change done. Thank you for wasting my time and not honoring your coupons your company mailed out! Don't bother going to this location.

I got an oil change here and the staff was great! They weren't pushy, they were all nice and the fill in Manager from Washington was pretty funny!

Called Thursday and was told to come early Friday morning. I went in early morning Friday and got in a bay right away. Had a complete front and rear brake job with an install of new rotors in the rear while I waited. Took about three hours but I rolled out from there satisfied after having to go back for some adjustments with my wheels being rearranged. Overall it was a good experience. I’m also a repeat customer. I hope this helps you make your decision to give them a chance to do your brakes on your vehicle.

My battery was dead Nate came out to my school and put a new battery in for me and all the results on his device. He taught me a ton about how everything worked in addition to showing me some things I should get checked or fixed soon. I really appreciated the honesty on what my car needed and why it needed it. Thank you!
