The mechanics & manger were great! They were friendly, fast & honest! To recharge my air, they were $30 more than Goodyear down the road BUT worth the $30 for sure. Will definitely use them from here on out!!

Meineke actually recommended to me that this service was needed to fix the issue I was having with my car. I brought it back to them to fix, and nothing has changed. The individual that “worked” on my car did not drive my car, as I requested. They never called me with an update on my car. My car is the same as before. Even though I have a warranty on my brakes, I’ll never bring it to meineke again.

We were driving on the interstate and my low tire light came on. We pulled into a gas station to get air and saw that it had a slash and could feel the air coming out. We quickly drove to Meineke and waited for them to open. Once they opened we went in and asked if they could check the tire. They said no and did not even ask if we needed air on our completely flat tire. I asked if he could put air in the tire so we could go to the place across the street and get the tire looked at. He first said no then said his techs do not actually start working until 30 minutes after opening. We had to wait another 30 minutes for them to finally put air in our tire. The manager was horrible and was not willing to help us. It was just me and my daughter. But the tech who did put the air in was very nice. DO NOT GO HERE. THE MANAGEMENT WAS HORRIBLE. The place across the street is more helpful.

The staff was very friendly and were able to service my air conditioner very quickly. They found another problem and gave me a quote on that repair as well. They did not pressure me to do the repair immediately.

Brought in my car for oil change. Asked them to check the rest of it because I heard squeeks from my serpentine belt. They not only forced me to purchase and insta a new belt and pulley but also managed to break my coils during inspection. Forcing me to pay over $1200. Yeh. Never using them again.

I went in for an a/c diagnosis. Ken was super friendly and knowledgeable. He did not beat around the bush and give me a lot of fluff. They were able to diagnose the problem and gave me several options for repairs. Overall I was please with the customer service I will be using Meineke for the repairs.

Unfortunately this is the worst shop Ive ever been to.Im a mechanic myself, however, I was short a few tools and needed a catalytic converter removed and replaced. the told me 600 dollars and that they were unable to do it because they thought I didnt have the money.anyways 80 bucks later down the street I got a new catalytic converter put on within an hour. these fools cannot work and are unwilling to. when I talked to the manager. he was equally useless. good day yall

Within the last year or so, every single time I’ve used Meineke on College Drive the service I receive is exceptional!!! Barry always goes above and beyond to ensure my car is well taken care of and to communicate exactly what services are needed! It makes it all the better that he remembers my name and has such a kind and professional workmanship! Believe me, with as loyal as Meineke has been to me, I literally recommend the shop to everyone!

Review №18

Paid $1200 for service repair, get in the car and go 3 miles to have the car still doing the same thing. Which proves they did not do what I asked and now it has to go back to the shop to fix what I paid them to repair the first time.

Review №22

So my vehicle was having cylinder misfires so I decided to bring it to the shop on college dr. I did my research and found out the common reasoning for misfires is ignition coil and spark plugs or the fuel filter and etc. After dropping my car off… I received a call from the shop saying I need another engine because the cam shaft. I was speechless, but I paid the man and took my car somewhere else. After bringing it somewhere else… it was in fact what I thought it was and they charged me for a fake diagnosis. They’ve lost a customer and will not recommend them to ANYONE!!

I had my lexus in a few months ago to be fixed, and they did a great job. They were very professional, spot on with what needed fixed and most importantly they gave me a price and it didnt change. That brings me to today. I had an issue arise with my car. I called and explained the code the car was throwing. Not only did they remember me by name, but they got me right in and was able to diagnosis the problem quickly. They quoted me a price, got me back in and fixed the problem. Plus they always go above and beyond to guarantee their work and make sure that they send you home happy. This location is amazing and most importantly they truly care about their customers and make sure customer service is number 1.

Review №33

OK The cons are this place is always very busy. However, if you can get in there they are great. They promised lowest price and said if I found it cheaper at another shop they would meet the price. I found the engine lifter repair cheaper at another shop and I called Barry to tell him. Not only did he beat the price by 10 percent he also threw in the full synthetic oil change for free. They also towed my vehicle for free to the shop. It did take a week for the repair, but I have had the vehicle back for a week and so far everything is great. If price is high talk to them they will match or beat prices. The free towing is great.

Review №36

Its not to say that it is completely a horrible place. I drive a manual vehicle. im called up there when i bring my car because the mechanics dont know how to or cannot start my car which is a little concerning. also when i bring my car there for one issue theres something else that may go wrong. i brought my car recently for services that included a wheel alignment. upon leaving my alignment was still off center. my vehicle horn also sounds like it is losing power which it didnt sound like that before bringing it. Barry provides exceptional service everytime i go there. He possesses amazing people skills and is polite and intelligent with his help everytime i go. I appreciate him greatly.. i just wish that certain things would be fixed without constantly having to go back.

These gentlemen at Meineke on College Dr. In Baton Rouge were so kind. It was a very busy day and 95 degrees outside when my daughter and I realized her air conditioning wasnt working and we had a 3 -day road trip ahead of us. It was already late afternoon and these gentleman had more than enough work for the day but they took time to help us. We were on our way within an hour and the air works great! I highly recommend this establishment.

Barry and his team are absolutely amazing. He is probably the nicest person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in a car repair shop. Even though I typically work on my own car, my car overheated on the way to classes today. They looked at it as soon as they were able to and kept me updated along the way. They are also Incredibly well priced in comparison to other shops that are near my home. I think the only thing they could use is a bigger parking lot, but they cant really do anything about that. I just want them to be able to get more business! Thank you Barry for taking good care of my car!

CONS: I dropped my car off for 7:30am and when I called around 10:00am I was told it would be ready for 2:00pm. I live an hour away so knowing a time frame was important for me. I arrived in Baton Rouge around 2:00pm and still hadn’t received a call so I ran a few errands. I got there at 3:30pm and the car still wasn’t ready. I received my car after 5:00pm. I’m ok if it took them until 5:00pm, but just communicate with me about the time so I know what I need to do. If 2:00pm wasn’t going to work, then just give me a heads up. I could’ve stayed home and did things I needed to do around the house.PROS: The front desk clerk was very courteous, manner-able, and professional. When I got there, the mechanic came out and spoke with me about some other concerns with my vehicle. He was very knowledgeable about what he was doing and even referenced me to Toyota for one of the issues because they had extended the warranty for this particular failure. Both men were very very grateful for my service and I was surely grateful for their assistance, especially during this pandemic.

The service from the Meineke Car Care on College Drive was fantastic. Everyone was so friendly and it was really the very best service Ive every had. They explained what needed to be done after diagnostic test to solve my cars issue in terms I could understand, which I appreciated. The restroom was clean and the waiting area too, this was a plus for the business. My son had recommended that I go to them and Im so glad. The full staff is friendly and caring. Thank you.

After my dad told me I was an adult and I had to take care of my own car from now on, I started coming here years ago and they have been taking care of me ever since from oil changes to getting new tires. Yes, they do try to upsell you sometimes and I simply say no. The waiting room is quiet and clean and you dont have to wait too long to get your car taken care up unless youre having something major done to it, then they always give the customers updates on the status of their vehicles. Great customer service and very professional.

The manager and entire staff were professional and walked me through every suggested repair. The store is located a block from Midas and I asked the manager to provide me with a value proposition of why I should not take my business to Midas. He did so and impressed me so much that I had them not only replace my brakes and rotors but I had them also replace my CV joints. I shall come back again when I need their services.

Absolutely not, I brought my truck here for what should have been a $300ish dollar job according to Google and my mechanic grandfather. They called me and said that it would cost $1,800 but dont worry, they had financing.... Asked around and found a mechanic my friend knows (Best Car Care on Florida) and he is taking care of it for $290. Also, when they replaced my windshield wipers they messed it up so bad that only %75 of my drivers side actually gets cleared. Run dont walk the hell away from here.

Review №91

I watched them pull my car into the garage, put it on the lift and walk away from it. They told me the mechanic was working on it but I could clearly see him chit chatting with the other mechanics, smoking about a dozen cigarettes (I even saw him smoking as he changed my oil...when he finally got around to it), and sitting around doing nothing...even the other customers who came in later than I did made comments about how long I had been waiting. It took 3 hrs for an oil change and a tire patch...the prices are fair and they give a military/student discount, but when the manager isnt there the employees seem to do whatever they want with no consideration to the customers

Review №94

The guys there were very nice; they listened to everything I was saying and I only waited about 20 minutes for the diagnostic, but when I got the quote, they wanted to charge me ~$730 to fix 2 issues and get an oil change. I’m not a mechanic, but this seemed a little ridiculous to me, so I called the mechanic I usually use and not only did they tell me that one of the issues meineke wanted to fix had nothing to do with why my car was acting up and didn’t even need to be done, their quote to fix the issue was $300 LESS than Meineke. Ended up taking my car to them and they were shocked that this had almost happened in the first place; they explained everything to me step by step and after all was said and done, their bill came out to be just under $300 less then Meineke’s.After doing a quick google search and getting prices from a dealership, the parts needed should have been around $50 a piece, MAYBE $60, and I needed two... Meineke quoted me at $140 EACH! They also billed me twice for labor and my regular mechanic only did so once.I can’t help but feel the people there were trying to scam me out of a few hundred dollars just because they thought they could. Admittedly, I’m a young woman who doesn’t know a whole lot about the inner workings of cars, but I know enough to recognize a scam when I see one. Will not be coming back.

Booked an appointment online the night before for a full tune up. When I arrived I was told that the online system was broken and should not have let me book and that it would be 2 hours before they could get to me. Then I was asked what I was here for. When I told them I needed a 100,000 mile tune up and described what the car was doing, I was told that it was my transmission and that a tune up wouldnt fix it anyway. At 125000 miles, I needed the tune up. The staff was condescending and rude. Just go to the Midas next door. They are amazing.
