GM/Owner won't wear a mask and puts his employees and customers at risk. I will NOT bring my car back there again. Was in last week for an oil change and could tell other employee at desk was not happy he won't wear a mask. His name is Dan Swimm, the GM. Moron!

I honestly can't recommend Meineke in good conscience. On two separate occasions with two separate cars, we just needed an oil change, and we ended up with broken components. The first time was a damaged oil pan. The second time the car would no longer start. Find an independent mechanic, even if it's inconvenient. They'll likely charge less and get it done correctly. 

Business response:

Meineke is all about trust, professionalism, and expertise. We're disappointed to hear you did not feel we lived up to this standard, Sam. We are escalating your feedback internally and would like to connect with you directly. Please reach out to us at www.meineke.com/about/customer-service/ or 1-800-634-6353. We hope to come to a resolution and earn back your confidence.

I cannot recommend! Go to your local mechanic or even a dealership before going there, even for an oil change! One oil change ended up costing thousands of dollars (and needed to spend more money to fix elsewhere), and another costing hundreds for repairs due to plug that was cros... read more

Meineke are scammers at worst, amateurs at best. I went in for a simple oil change and the manager himself comes out to tell me that it needs a lot of work; exhaust, cabin air filter, stabilizer, etc. The car’s from 2006 so I’m used to hearing that it needs work and so, like a gullible idiot, I agree to let them do it. When it’s finally time to pick up the car i pay them a hefty $1610.38 and that should have been the end of it. I go to start my car and the car does not s... Continue Reading

Gloucester Meineke was exceptional. I got an appt on the same day, job was finished in two hours. The waiting room was clean and pleasant.

Need more transparency. Be clearer of your pricing of wiper blades. They were charged per blade and not per set- should clarify this when selling it.
