Walked in for an oil change. Going rates ($98 for full synthetic), good customer service. Waited about 40 mins (on all fairness I arrived around 3:40). Clean waiting room, and air conditioned (93 degrees outside). Would recommend this business!

Took my car to Meineke for some repair, they notice that I had work done by someone else who left a fews loose screws which could have caused serious problems down the road. They repaired my car plus made sure it was safe for me to travel. Thank you for getting me back on the road

Great service. I walked in and they took care of me. No one wants to spend money but my car is worth more to me running than not. I had to get brakes and rotors and . They gave me discounts that helped the wallet pain just a little. LOL. Thank you Meineke.

95% of the time the work is great 25%-30% over priced. Mario has great customer service but it another guy that works the front when Mario not there you can't ask this guy a question without him seeming annoyed. I was there on Friday @ about 4pm I was told my seems to be my sway bar links that needed to change so I said to him so you not sure but changing the sway bars in just a precaution then you going to move on from there. He looked at me has I'm not allowed to ask questions, even after picking up my car he still seem to have an attitude l asked for the credit card receipt and that was a problem I asked to staple the 2 receipts together and tje was a problem.I know as a manager in theater business myself working with the public can be hard sometimes but you still have to give a smile and have a good tone when speaking to people even when u are annoyed. You never know who u are speaking to and you can slow the owner of this establishment down because of bad customer service even with the great labor that's done at the place.

I highly recommend this location of Meineke to everyone who is in need of car repairs. The staff is courteous and very patient explaining the repairs they completed on your vehicle. Great job, thank you.

This location is a scam! I took my Honda there and the service technician broke my engine oil cap then tried to say it was broken already. I just literally put oil in my car the day before so I know he broke it. I went to get an oil change but needed an oil pan replacement and they over charged me. They wanted me to pay 900 dollars to replace an oil pan . I went to a regular mechanic only paid 220 dollars.DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY GOING HERE. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!

Very ethical and reliable shop. They have done work for family members as well as myself and it has always been a great experience. Could not be happier. Ask for Mario in the office he is an expert! Joe is one of the nicest Mechanic. Great job!Would 100% recommend to anyone who needs their auto repaired at a reasonable rate.

My experience when I took my car to Meineke was good, they took care of my car and they explained every detail about the problem that my car had to me and they was able to fix it and get me out of their shop fast,but the price is little bit high to what I expected to pay, but the bottom line is that I left with happiness as my car drive good again.

I'm a female. Any no nothing about cars. I seen the oil light on. Took it to meineke on Elizabeth Ave in Newark. They gave me a oil change, and after they took car down, say I have a leak somewhere. Even though I'm not a mechanic. You fix the leak first. They made me pay for a oil change and I still have a leak and don't know where. So if anyone knows where besides any meineke let me know

Straight up with you don't overcharge suggests what's best not what cost the most ! Not out for money ! I went to a shop that wanted to charge me 360 and my son told me about my meineke! Meineke did it for 160 !, All that the other one said I needed was a lie! I recommend if you don't want to get ripped off especially us women ! Meineke is the place I guarantee they work and they honestly

Decent location as long as you are fairly knowledgeable about cars. Came in for a $60 oil change and they tried to sell me on $1600 worth of repairs that my car apparently needed This $1600 charge included their team double charging me for two tires.The repairs were timely, just make sure you do your math when they are quoting you for the repairs.Woke up the next morning with one of the brand new tires flat, let s hope they will correct the mistake. Going to pay a visit in the AMServices: Tires, Oil change

I had a problem w my vehicle for some months and after purchasing the wrong size parts ,I wanted to give up. I took it to Meineke and they welded and fix the prob less than an hour for less than half of the price I was quoted somewhere else. Very Happy Customer ,not to mention the customer service was great as well.

I was in town for less than 48 hrs for a conference and my brakes went when I arrived to the hotel. I called in the morning, they said bring it down, called me with the details, had it down a few hours later.
