HONEST, reliable and fairly- priced!After getting fed up with a well-known car mechanic shop we used in town, always 100s of dollars every visit and last time leaving our car in a dangerous condition by not doing one of the repairs they said they would, a friend recommended Meining. We are so happy we found them. We’ve been there three times so far with 2 different cars and they have been straight up every time, fairly priced and did a really good job. They offered us various options when available pricing wise. I’m so happy to a found a car shop that does business the way it should be done. Look no further, give these guys a call.

Great experience once again. Ive taken my truck here twice. Dave has helped me both times and has made things easy and honest. The technicians do great work. Fast, efficient and professional. I live 20mi away from the shop and refuse to take my vehicle anywhere but here. The most honest mechanic shop Ive had the pleasure of doing business with.

If you take this pandemic seriously and wear a mask in public, do not come here. I have never felt so uncomfortable walking into an establishment during this pandemic before. Not a mask in site. Im very disappointed and will not be coming here again until the pandemic is over.

Honest and dedicated work. They always take the time to explain your options for repair and service. We’ve had our 3 vehicles serviced here from newer to old and have always had a positive experience. Their labor rates are average for the area and the work is top notch.

I had to make an appointment last minute before a trip here for an oil change and thank god I picked this place for my car! Brosnan took such great care of my 4Runner and had everything done in no time. You can tell he really cares and loves what he does. If you’re looking for a new mechanic, he’s your guy!

Always Excellent!I have never received anything but great service from Meining. Everyone is nice, but more importantly I feel the advice I get and the recommendations given are trustworthy. They only recommend services that are necessary, taking into account safety, the age of the car and what it’s future purpose is. I have been bringing my cars here for nearly 15 years and have always been more than satisfied.

Review №29

Highly Recommended- This team is quick, efficient, and most importantly, honest- My car needed a water pump replacement, which was completed within a 2 day turn-around. Two months later, after seeing the issue return, Meining re-assessed and confirmed that the issue was with the part that was replaced, and corrected issue within 1 day with no hassle. Meining Automotive is now my primary auto shop and I will continue to recommend others to this location. Thanks all!

We are so happy a neighbor recommended Meining Automotive. We feel our Subaru, which is getting older, is in great hands. We have been going here for a while now and would not consider any place else. The prices are in line, the work is excellent. Never have we felt pressured and feel what is done is needed. And it is discussed prior to the work. We feel our Subaru will last a lot longer now that it is in such good hands. Everyone is professional and friendly. We highly recommend Menining Automotive.

Great service. I have taken 4 different vehicles here over the years and had nothing but good service. I had a Jeep Patriot that needed a new starter and they did a good job but 3 weeks later it wouldnt start again. Brought it back and meining stood behind their work and had to admit the starter was defective and replaced it at no cost to me.

I have been doing business with Meining Automotive for many years. As I have reviewed them before, this will just be a re-affirmation of the quality of work they provide and the people who work there. Ron, Bill and Ryan are always ready and willing to help when I have a vehicle problem and to the extent possible, they always try and work with my schedule to get my repair work done at a time thats convenient for me. The quality of work has always been top notch, and I will continue to take my vehicles to them whenever I need work done. Quality people, quality workmanship, using quality parts. What could be better?

Review №40

I had 2 issues that could have been very expensive but Meining took care of both perfectly and cost was excellent. The first - non-working turn signal but only when warm out - fixed! Oil plug that local Lube Shop said was problematic - fixed! No nonsense or funny stuff (looking for other non-existent issues) Both items could have been a disaster to me in both time and money.

Review №41

I have taken my personal and business vehicles to Meining Automotive for years. They are trustworthy and do great work! I kept trying to get them to replace my Tundras brake pads and they told me 3 times now, Mike, they are ceramic, they last 80,000 miles. Its rare to find that kind of honesty these days, when you do, you hold on to it. Great job Bill and Ryan! You guys are awesome!

Meining Automotive is one of the great auto mechanics in Boulder County. They are the best that I have found and I have lived in Longmont for 49 years. They are honest and will not try and up-sale services to you. If you have a question they will give you a very direct answer and not one to pad their bottom line. I have talked with other people who brought their cars to Meining and if they had several problems Meining would prioritize them so they knew which ones need to be fixed and which ones could wait a little while. There has been times when I thought there was an expensive problem only to fine Meining recommending a simple solution.I have referred people to them that need an advocate to help them out. This includes widows and single ladys that a lot of places take advantage of. Meining is not afraid to let you know if your car has be misdiagnosed by someone else. If I buy a car I will always take it to Meining for them to go over it and let me know if I will have any problems.Cant say enough about them, thanks for being there and never change. They are my mechanics as well as my friends...

I have been a customer of Meining Automotive for over 15 years. I have four vehicles and have them all serviced there and have never been dissatisfied. Their technicians are skilled and thorough and their customer service is second to none. Honesty, integrity, considerate, friendly, and fair prices. These are qualities they display all of the time. Its a pleasure to do business with them.

Meining Automotive has always done a great job for me. I have been bringing my vehicles to them for about 15 years now. In addition, they have worked hard to help other clients I have recommended to them, and have always been very generous and resourceful.

We have used Meining Automotive since 1998 and have never had a bad experience. They are honest and do not do unneeded repairs. I trust them to do what is needed to keep my vehicle running its best. They also have done small things ASAP, such as when I stop in for a new tail light or wiper blade. They are always friendly, too. I would definitely choose them over any dealership for repairs and maintenance.

Review №59

Ron, Bill, and Ryan over there are a great bunch of folks. They will not steer you wrong. They stand behind the quality of their work and only once have I had to return a vehicle in the last 15 years, and they repaired on their dime. They referred me to someone else for exhaust work, and that gentleman advised me what else the problem maybe before he tried to sell and install new catalytic converters. You know they have vetted even their referrals for high quality and trustworthiness. I trust them 100% with my cars and those of my familys here in town.

We have always had wonderful professional service at Meining Automotive. We tried several places before we found Meining and were never satisfied. Since we found Meining there is no other place,they are great to work with and since I use my vehicle for work, they do their best to get it back to me in a timely manner.

Review №61

I took my 2004 Toyota Corolla in for spark plugs and whatever else it needed. Basically told them to look it over and let me know. They did check it over, but it only needed spark plugs, so thats all they recommended. My father was an auto mechanic and I worked with him for 9 years, so I know a bit about cars. The level of honestly at Meining is all I could possibly ask for. Its a great place to do business with!

It was 4:30 on a Friday, we were stuck in Salt Lake City with my sons 2001 Civic, in a panic we called Meining to see if they had a clue as to why the car would not move out of Park. Ryan took the time to help us diagnose the problem over the phone, come up with a creative solution and get the car running. This is what I call service and why I wouldnt take my car anywhere else.

Meinings provides friendly, professional service. They made my 44 year old jeep run better than when it was new. All repairs have been done quickly and at a reasonable cost.

Took our vehicle to Meining for a transmission issue. After having our car for almost an entire week, they came back to us with an “I don’t know” answer.After wasting our time with them we decided to try another shop in town and they figured out the issue in one day! Meining drug their feet on our issue and were highly unresponsive after calling them over and over again while they had our car and I was without transportation.Bill seems like a good manager but we were highly disappointed in his shop after this experience and will not be going back there.

We have known and trusted the Meining family since the late 70s.

Review №89

Ive been taking my cars/trucks here for years and outside of their banker hours been impressed with their service. I even sent them several recommendations that became regular customers. So my commuter car had a problem and was informed by Ron that it would need a new engine or rebuild which cost more then it was worth. His recommendation was to junk it. I paid them to pull the pan and inspect the crank to see if it was repairable and was later informed that the crank had rubbed on the block and in their words trashed. I was skeptical that a Honda 4cyl. would need a new engine with only 160K miles so i paid another $175 to have it towed to another shop. While it went up on the lift i noticed the plate that housed the bearing hadnt even been removed so clearly they never inspected it. So this shop replaced the bearings for $450 and the car has been running like a champ over the last 10K miles. Had i listened to them a perfectly good car would have been junked......what a waste. As I no longer trust them I wont be returning.

My expereince with Meining began in 2009 after we moved to Longmont from the Midwest. Dissatisfied with charges and service at an independent shop and the local Ford dealer, I sought advice from individuals who had lived here for awhile. Meining was suggested by my insurance agent, for which I am thankful.Our Meining experience has been one of continued trust and appreciation for their excellent work and service for the past eight years. Ron and Bill Meining plus their excellent staff run a good shop.

I work on my car and jeep myself. But, when I dont have the time or the job is above my expertise, I count on Ron and Bill to give me an honest opinion and to do a great job.

Review №92

They perfectly passed my BS detection system. My cars check engine light is perpetually triggered by a known problem that has no actual effect on my cars efficiency, safety, longevity, or performance. It would also cost hundreds of dollars to fix. I took my car in knowing this, for a routine engine check, without informing them of my knowledge. When I picked it up, they told me everything I already knew, not even attempting to push me for an unnecessary sale. Regardless of any other factor, they passed the most important aspect of car repairmanship--honesty. You can absolutely trust them with your business.
