These guys are amazing. Nathan is very nice and upfront. I completely trust them and their advice. They don’t try and recommend service that isn’t needed and look out for your best interest. Amazing service and they go above and beyond. Thanks guys.

My car broke down in between towns. They were the only shop who could look at it that day. They referred a tow service that was friendly and quick. They had me up and running within 24 hours. I was on vacation and would have been stranded. Nathan was awesome and even referred a nearby attraction to visit. Thanks a million.

I brought my car to Meineke to have the AC recharged. They were able to squeeze me in, without an appointment. The staff members were all very friendly and did not try to sell me on extra services. The car was ready when they said it would be. My AC now works great. I’m very pleased with my experience and have already recommended them to my sister, who ironically had her car’s AC stop working yesterday while mine was getting fixed.

I brought my GMC Acadia in because of a rattling noise that was progressively getting worse. Thankfully it was only in desperate need of oil which NATHAN so kindly remedied immediately. He also gave me an honest diagnosis of repairs that my car needs soon. Everyone here was extremely kind, generous, and knowledgeable professionals who treated me like family. I’d highly recommend you take your vehicle here. 🌞

Professional, knowledgeable, and quick. The only downside it the one way street they are on(hardly their fault...). Would highly recommend.

This shop is absolutely wonderful. They have a high volume, but they will let you know whats going on if they cant get you in when they expected. Manager Nathan Walker was very kind and detailed in what needed to be done and why to our vehicle, what the cost would be and will always call you if something unexpected pops up while working the vehicle. Highly recommend.

Came in informing we wanted a diagnostic on our Chevy Cruze. We knew it may be an issue with the terminal for I just noticed the corrosion on the terminal. We informed we just wanted the diagnostic which was informed to be only $60, nothing else done to the car. For we have someone to do everything. Was called that evening to be informed the main tech will be in the next day and we’ll get a call with more information since too many codes came up. Received no call until the following day after, then the tech to inform he wiped the car down to re-read the codes and seen no more issues. Then we asked if that was the only issue and since it was just a wipe down, was that it, to be informed that only the diagnostic would be the charge. Today we go in to pick up the vehicle to be asked if we had someone call us back, inform no, and then tells us it’s $337.

Went in last Saturday for an oil change, not only did it take 1.5 hrs they overcharged my card by $600. Couldnt buy groceries over the weekend for my kids And had to cancel my car insurance payment. Called Monday and the manger gave me the contact information for their director of operations. I emailed him and his response was my apologies for the inconvenience Its Tuesday and still havent seen the refund.Poor customer service and accountability. Very unhappy and would recommend not using Meineke at all.

This place is flat out wonderful. We had our whole family packed in our van (4 kids, a dog, my hubby and me) and were about to head out for a family road trip when we noticed a bright green leak from the back of our van. I had called 4 other places and those places told me they were busy and I had to drop my van off. When I called THIS Meineki, they said to come on over and they would help us right away. They were so knowledgeable and helpful, I would recommend this shop to anyone and everyone!!!!! They saved our family trip!

It was a smooth process to get my oil changed. They also pointed out that an air filter was warped so that got fixed. Lastly, they recommended and explained the process of checking my brakes for a future appointment.

I keep coming back to the 8th St Meineke because they are honest, transparent, and do good work. They’ve taken care of my car for years, most recently replacing my brakes efficiently and for a fair cost. Highly recommend!

Very good deals. Workers was very friendly. With me being a woman and walking into a place to get something fixed. Is really hard. Because its like you walk in and they just see a big dollar sign. Here I never had that feeling.

Nathan is very polite and knowledgeable, he talks you through what they are going to do with expected/unexpected outcomes. Once they repaired the AC, Nathan talked me through what they actually performed to fix the problem. They did an excellent job in record time and great competitive price. I trust them, this the second time I have used them and will continue to go to them.

The issue from my vehicle:Hard metal to metal contact coming from the rear of my vehicle .Meinke, These guys saved my life .. I previously went to Ford to diagnose my vehicles issue . They told me it would cost $700, they stated it was my motor mounts .The answer was 2 bolts that fell out of my brake caliper, due to improper installation from another company.Meinke identified the issue, they had the part driven to the station and installed in 2 hours .Thankyou guys for your hard work and dedication to vehicle safety . 5 star review !⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It took these guys four hours to change my oil and my brake pads. And on top of that they charged me $135 twice to take off and put back on all four of my rotors. They didn’t replace them, mind you, they charged me $270 plus tax to take off all four of my rotors and put the same ones back on, twice. WHY? They will scam you out of $300 dollars and smile while doing it. DO NOT GO HERE!

Nathan was awesome and down to earth. Explained cost break downs and checked for alternatives before hand to keep my bill within reason. Able to get my brakes done in a pinch and for a great price. Worth a visit!

Love Meineke! I went in for oil change. Service was fast and courteous with competitive pricing. They do a number of checks for you for free, like brakes, tires, etc. BUT what I love most is that they dont try to pressure you into more work!! Theyre honest and fair.

Review №26

I love this shop, it’s the only place I will go for my routine care. Since new management took over a couple of years ago they have done nothing but take care of me. However, this last visit was a bit different. The service was great I will not deny that. But when I walked in neither gentleman was wearing their masks and I had two children with me. One is not even a year old so he can not wear a mask and we rely on others to be responsible. One gentleman pulled his up over his mouth but not his nose which is ineffective and the other went into the shop. Cool, if you don’t want to wear a mask distance is great. The shop doors had been closed since it had been cold outside and the entire lobby smelled so badly of cigarettes. To the point where we waited outside until our car was done, and when it was done I put my kids in the car while I paid and signed my receipt so they didn’t need to be continuously breathing that in. Again, service is always wonderful. But these extra things kinda sucked.

So much better than jiffy lube!! I went to Jiffy Lube a few weeks ago for a full-synthetic oil change and a cabin filter change and it was $184, took my husband’s vehicle to Meineke 2 weeks later and the same service with the filter upgrade was $45 with an extra quart of oil. Will be going here from now on :) No pressure to up sale or a bunch of extra charges that don’t make sense, completely professional!

Review №31

Do not use!! I made an appointment for a diagnostics at 9am on Tuesday the 18th. Specifically asked if I would be seen at 9 or if there would be a wait, was told it would be fine and that I would be seen right at 9. That worked because I had to wait in shop for the appointment to be over. I get there for the appointment and was told the tech is finishing up an oil change and that I would be seen after that.I wasn’t too worried about that but then he comes back to tell me that they actually have other stuff to do and that it would take at least 2 more hours before I can be seen.I ask why even make an appointment if his is how a customer is treated and all I get is almost a mocking response of a shoulder shrug and my keys given back.The most unprofessional spot I’ve seen i town so far and I find it extremely disrespectful to waste a customers time like that.Once again the meieneke in limit st is horrible!!

I WAS TREATED LIKE AN OLD FRIEND, A PLACE I WILL DEFINITELY BE TELLING L OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ABOUT. I was mostly impressed by how thorough the guys were in every stage of my visit. From the professional and friendly greeting to the speedy and accurate service that was done on my car. I just wish every place I went was like the Meineke on Limit St and Cimarron.

This location has got my business hands down! The manager of this location is a very knowledgeable person and has shot me straight every time Ive brought my car to him. He has never tried to upsell me anything I didnt need and my car was treated with great care and courtesy. He took the time to explain the issues my car was having and what it would take to get it resolved. Ive honestly never really trusted any of these places but after coming here a few times now; There is nowhere else I would take my car for repairs and maintenance. They do quality work at reasonable prices which is rare to see these days.Thank you, and your team for all the pride and hard work you put into your job daily.

I love this place but i can’t seem to get an appointment there anymore. The place is always booked up and they tell me it will be days before they can get me in for a basic oil change.Disappointed but i guess I’ll have to find another place.

Review №38

The work was done quickly, and they took a discount coupon for me to make the cost more acceptable. My only concern was that the person at the front desk, Michael, was not wearing a mask. He was very nice & very professional, but there was no sign that he had had a mask on and taken it off, there was no mask anywhere in evidence. With the pandemic going full-blast, I think that is a big point of concern.

Great service—everything was explained thoroughly and they didn’t try to upsell me on a bunch of extra services. However, the associates either weren’t wearing masks at all or would occasionally throw one on incorrectly. Unfortunately, no matter how great the service was, this is a deal breaker for me.

Review №49

This is hands down the best place I’ve ever dealt with for oil changes/brake replacements. Nathan, is very understanding and is willing to go the extra mile for his customers. A gasket broke on my oil filter and I lost majority of my engine oil. I brought it back to Nathan and he replaced the filter and gave me a brand new oil change free of charge. I didn’t even feel the pressure of being nickel and dimed or hustled. Nathan is great at showing you what needs to be replaced and what’s wrong on your vehicle. Gives me peace of mind that I’m not being worked over. Thanks Meineke!

Meineke gave me an oil change estimate that was $30 less expensive than Grease Monkey and they were very professional polite and covid compliant, unlike the guy over at Grease Monkey, who wore his mask as a chin strap and cane up to to to three feet to my face to give me a $79.00 estimate for an oil change.Also, Meineke did not try to nickelAnd dime me by adding air filters or other products to my bill. They said the car looked great, nothing else was needed.A plus service and pricing

I could not say enough great things about them! Nathan was extremely helpful from the initial phone call to the time of pickup. He and lead tech took time out of their busy schedules to take a look at my car and then were completely honest about what they found or didnt find. I will be going to this location from now on. 😁

Nathan was incredible. I was in the process of purchasing my first car and brought them to this location for a pre purchase inspection. Despite coming in multiple different times, Nathan was very kind and patient. He gave me his honest opinions on the cars I was looking at, providing me with information to help me make an informed decision as well as giving me recommendations and even taking a look online for me. They made this whole process easier and helped me feel more at ease. Highly, highly recommend this location. Thank you guys!!

Review №63

They really went above and beyond! I can’t say enough about the customer service, professionalism, quality of work ... but what really made an impression was the extra lengths they went to to help. I was essentially stranded with a bad alternator while traveling through CS with my son, dog and a trailer. They helped me with the trailer, let us all inside on a hot day, showed me all the tests indicating the problem, fixed the alternator quickly and charged me a reasonable cost... THIS is definitely the shop to trust!

Meineke once again was the best value for time, money, professionalism, work they did was good, didnt try to add a bunch of things I did not need.. I came in with no appointment, made appointment for an hour away, work was done (tire rotation and oil) in 25 minutes.. 3ed time Ive used them . The oil change alone across the street at a quick drive thru would have cost double.

Review №72

My serpentine belt broke and was completely shredded while driving home one morning, I am not from this area so I got a tow truck and was towed to the closest mechanic where I live. Upon inspection the mechanic immediately suspected my alternator. He replaced my belt and still ran some “tests” and determined that my car is running fine but my alternator is definitely bad and should be replaced. He suggested I do it today to save on labor costs. Out of curiosity I asked how much it would be, he said $550. I could not afford it that day as even paying for the serpentine belt put a hurting on my wallet. He showed me a piece of paper stating that my alternator was running at the lowest it could possibly function and that if I do not get it fixed I would suffer more issues. After leaving that day I called around and had some quotes done, all were cheaper by a hundred dollars that what they quoted me. After getting a quote, a mechanic ran the same tests and concluded that all I needed a new battery shim, which cost $6. Clearly my serpentine belt needed to be replaced but certainly not my alternator. Just a heads up for future potential customers. I almost got ripped off $550, by someone who said they try to work and help out veterans.

I was put into a bind when our rental reservation went wrong and the car we were getting prev renter had extended their time and no cars were available except a $700 van rental! I was needing to leave and get my kid to college that same day and Nathan got right on it. They went over my car with a fine tooth comb, checked fluids and everything and found a few repairs needed to get us to our location and me back safely. He knew I needed to leave by 1:30 and had my car repair done and me out the door by 12:45!! They also gave me a list of minor repairs needed to keep my car in great running condition! We plan on going back to have them take care of the small stuff and any other future repair we may need! Thank you guys. You changed my horrible day into a memorable one and made sure our trip was safe!

If I could give this place 6 or 7 more stars I would. I hadnt known of this Meineke location until this morning when I called and Im so glad I did; Lance took awesome care of my car, and took a lot of time out to make sure I was aware of every aspect of his work. Affordable, fast, and efficient, I cant see myself going anywhere else after the experience I had here. Plus, Lance is just a rad dude to interact with which is always nice because I rarely trust automotive care people. This place is a gem, and I highly recommend everyone take their business here. You wont be disappointed.

When other places treated me as if I was bothering them, Nathan at Meineke was happy to help, and they even offered commentary towing when my truck was broke down.

Review №97

Both Nathan and Levi were very personable and helpful. I had to reschedule a few times and they were very understanding. They took the time to ask questions and make a list of things that my vehicle warranty wouldn’t allow them to fix making it easier for me when I take it to the dealer. I will continue to use them in the future as well as recommend them to friends and family. It’s nice to see integrity in a business such as this as my former experience with a large auto dealer was horrible. They had my car for weeks, twice, and did nothing, not even repairing a simple tire leak. This Meineke has fast service and is honest, it’s refreshing.

I brought my Ford Expedition in the day before a major road trip. Another car repair business had recommended that I replace my upper ball joints in the near future. Lance and his team determined that the repair was unnecessary at this time. Lance highly recommended that I replace my worn tires. So in a major winter storm he located the best tires for me and got them installed. They also checked out any other potential issues and gave me good recommendations. I felt like I was treated very fairly and have confidence that my vehicle is ready for the road. Thanks!
