Great group of employers that are willing to help and answer questions. They are more calm compared to the other bigger companies like Firestone. They really care for your safety when it comes to getting your car done the right way! Make sure to make appointments via online or telephone so that they can get you done correctly!

Took the car in for spongy brakes. Meineke inspected it thoroughly and I received the detailed (including photos) inspection report, back promptly. The mechanic went over the most crucial repairs needed and saved us money since the brakes were in good condition, just needing a cleaning and adjustment. I definitely recommend them.

VERY thankful for this place! My car was idling at random and having trouble starting afterwards. Called so many places that were wanting me to wait 2 weeks or longer. This place fit me into their schedule the same day and the wait time was not long before having a diagnostic. Price isn’t too bad either. Will definitely be coming back for any other car needs/issues I have!

Absolutely the best service I have ever received! They fixed multiple things on my SUV, showed me the problem, explained the process to me. I loved seeing what was the issue and being a part of the process. Made me feel good about my choice to go there. Absolutely thrilled that my SUV seems to be running better now then when i bought it. Lol definitely will be back for with more business!!!

Hands down, one of the best shops in the area. I couldn’t open my trunk for over a month. I tried everything and almost resorted going to a body shop to have the seats removed; the release to fold down the seats was on the inside of the trunk. Lance and Darrell were able to diagnose the problem and replace the part in no time. They also knocked out the oil change while the repair was being done. Great job!!

I went to meineke not knowing exactly what was wrong with my car I just knew I wanted it fixed and Lance made me not worry and I knew it was gonna be fixed right. I love the service and the professionalism that I get here every time I need my car fixed. I would recommend this place to family and friends.

In order to start the transfer process of my out-of-state car, I visited Meineke for inspection. Automobiles are one of my hobbies, so I pay close attention to shops and people. My experience was very positive and I think I found a shop to maintain my beloved Buick.

Highly professional people, technically sound and honest with you on the cost side. So far so good the best auto repairs I have come across in college station. My experience with three other auto shops nothing to write home about. I will recommend MEINEKE CAR CARE CENTER to others to patronize for all their car issues.

Took my Trailblazer in for an alignment and they told me it might need additional parts, but they were able to align it. Professional and courteous customer service. I should have brought both my vehicles here instead of bcs tire pros.

I went here to get my car inspected and they were super fast and helpful. I had a messed up windshield wiper they fixed for me and had us out of there very fast. The waiting room was clean and comfortable and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick car inspection. Also was open on a Saturday, which is a plus!

Workers were extremely professional and timely. We’re able to diagnose issue and fix problem while attempting to charge me the smallest amount possible for the job. I would highly recommend them for any car issues you may have and will definitely be going back myself in the future.

Darrell was the most helpful and sweetest mechanic I’ve ever met. He explained what was going on with my truck and was able to guess what was wrong with it in less than a minute and get parts to replace my ignition coil within a hour or two. Fastest and cheapest and best service out there!

Review №26

Credible and honest service. Affordable price. I like that they sent me messages with photos and videos whats wrong with my car. Also, they sent me email about that, and I can read the emails anytime when Im free or I need to check it again. Ive been living for 13 years in this town, and I have used several other repair shops. Without any hesitation, I want strongly to recommend this repair shop for anybody living in this town.

After using a dealership service department when I bought my new car, I eventually transitioned to this Meineke for convenience. I appreciate their openness and honesty when it comes to servicing my vehicle. They are more focused on customer service than upsells. Their app has rewards and good coupons too. Highly recommend.

I didn’t get his name, but the man at the desk was cool. He tried to explain everything thoroughly and took me out to see the issue since I’m not car savvy. Decent place! No one was wearing a mask though, unfortunately.

Review №33

Lance was helpful since I first called asking if they could fit us in on a Saturday last minute. They did fit us in and called us soon after looking at the vehicle and gave us a quote which was NOT BAD! Lance and his team here are amazing and kept the shop open longer than normal hours just to finish working on our vehicle and for us to come pick it up. Amazing experience. If you are reading this, what are you waiting for? Go in to Meineke now! :)

Highly recommend. My husband and I love this Meineke. We’ve been other places like Firestone and nowhere comes close to their kindness and professionalism. Very honest and they don’t try to upsell you to death. They take the time to answer any questions or concerns. They’ll always have our business!

Review №56

Went in for oil change and R&B. I have old wheel locks on my car and I asked them to just remove them and replace with standard lug nuts.The price was right and the speed was very good. I made an appointment and didnt wait long at all, especially considering the a la carte service. The manager was personable and accommodating.The 3 stars is from one of the wheels after the service. Whoever did the replacement cross threaded the lug and didnt finish repairing it. I only found it because I checked the lugs before I drove off. The lug was still projecting about a quarter from the wheel. Whoever did it wouldve caught it with a cursory check of their work. Somehow, they damaged it and either didnt notice or forgot that it happened. Either is unacceptable. I dont THINK they expected me to not notice, it was just too obvious.Its a HUGE rookie mistake and threw into question all the other work, which is really too bad because everything else was great. They repaired the stud, which they had in stock, and I was back on the road in about 20 minutes (no charge). Manager got started on correcting it right away and was very apologetic.Something like that is day one tire tech stuff and they couldve even done the repair and not told me (and I wouldnt have cared) if someone had just checked/remembered. Removing wheel locks is tricky, at best. Ill probably go back but Ill be checking everything before I drive off.

Review №58

Howdy! Meineke really took care of me and my car. I had some issues with my a/c blower and headlight and they took care of it quickly and efficiently. They worked with me by first quoting me on the job price then allowing me to bring my own parts in! They were really fair with the prices on labor and transparent on the whole process by calling me throughout the work and ensuring that I was in the loop with the whole process. I really appreciated their hard work and their transparency. I have been coming for 3 years for my oil change and after this experience, I will be coming back for the rest of my time living in college station. I felt like I was in good hands and that they treated me like family. Great company!

This was the first time I used Meineke for an oil change, and I’m very satisfied with their service. They squeezed me in that very day and competed the oil change within an hour. The gentleman who checked me in and out was very kind too, and did NOT try to sell me unnecessary repair or replacement parts like College Station Ford does. I will definitely use Meineke for future oil changes.

I’ve taken my car here a few times over the past year, and they’ve always been kind, professional, and extremely time efficient. Although I clearly know NOTHING about cars, they’ve never tried to push unnecessary costly repairs or products on me. In fact, I always walk out paying less than I expected to. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for trustworthy, quality service!

Oil change here is like $30 and change plus they’ll rotate your tires and text you a link with a detailed inspection report with photos and suggestions on how to address the issues. Just call ahead and check their schedule. I’ll be going here from now on.

Review №69

I used to go to ford because that’s where my car is from. But they constantly over charged and made up problems and because I don’t know much about cars myself I was sort of unable to argue. But Meineke has always been very honest with me, very helpful, and always friendly. They explain what they’re doing/did so that I’m not in the dark about what’s going on with my car. I’ve learned from them! I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else :)

Review №70

I needed a last day of the month inspection. Started using Meineke for basic services in College Station just since we moved here earlier. Their ‘off the main road’ location led me to believe they might be reduced waiting times for service. Yesterday proved me right, in and out in 5 minutes. My trucks getting older so I was expecting an air filter or light bulb replacement, but since I’ve stopped by their shop at least three or four times this year, that maintenance has been taken care of. I’m the kind of user that will keep me coming back for years. The manager and techs really reinforced that yesterday. They are quick to look at your care and the service is as good as you need. Thanks Meineke.

Amazing experience. Knowledgeable and professional staff. Went in with a super odd brake issue, squishy, even though everything was new. They did everything they could think of and then did it again, until they solved my issue. Best customer service I have had in forever. Already recommended to others. I will always come back here now!!

Good guys that aren’t out to scam college students, especially girls. Funny enough, the manager knew I was calling my father to verify costs for repairs and just asked to speak with him directly so my father knew I wasn’t getting scammed. I graduated less than a week ago and am moving out of state, forcing me to find a new Meineke shop. I’ll miss these guys. Every single employee has been nothing but kind. I’m a customer for life!

Totally disappointed will never give them our business of our entire family as we used to go there for regular oil change. First of all, their coupons are not valid and when they are, for full synthetic oil which coupons says they dont accept. They also charged an extra $15 for tire rotation which are normally included with oil change. Total rip-off charged me $83 for oil changeGot oil change on December 2nd and a month later oil change sign comes seriously wet disappointed what did I pay for

I’ve taken my son’s car here twice now and both times the staff has been professional and friendly. They took care of his car quickly and at a fair price. They keep us informed of everything that needs to be done and how much it will cost. There are never any surprises. It puts my mind at ease knowing my son’s car is in good hands while he’s at college. I would absolutely recommend this Meineke to everyone!

This place has done work for me on two cars the work has been excellent. They will go well above and beyond to help you with your car troubles. Even as far as to show you what is wrong and how its a problem and how they plan to fix that problem. They provide outstanding service my only issue is that they need a bigger shop to handle more cars and a bigger bathroom.

Review №89

It was a very poor experience. Starting out well, we were able to have our car towed to the local shop without being there. We had to call multiple times and even come by to get a clear answer...and even then it seem to take 4 days to diagnose and fix. The work does not seem to be good quality. He have had nothing but stress with the new part the last 12 hours.On top of this, my car was messy from papers from the glove box out, dirty shop rags and extra tools were left in the car. A few other minor annoyances occurred but, mentioned above was major for us.We most likely won’t go back to this shop.

I went this morning just after they opened to get my car inspected for state inspection. Its a 15-minute wait and costs only $7. I went to Firestone first and they told me I had to wait for more than 2 hours, Ive been told that the Firestone doesnt want to do state inspection because it spends more time and they get only $7, it seems thats true but for Meineke, theyre definitely nice people whos willing to trade their time for better customer experience. Compared with all my terrible experience with Firestone, I will definitely think about Meineke first if my car needs any maintenance or repair, strong recommendation.

I went in for a State Inspection, which was my first time there. The “Gentleman“ at the counter was very kind and courteous. As I entered, he was dealing with a lady that would have made me pull my hair out, as well as, several other customers, but he remained very calm and polite. After just a very brief time, he told me I was ready to go.

Very professional and they were able to get my car in just short notice! They fixed a radiator leak I had and were able to pinpoint the source.

Review №99

This place is so amazing. For starters when I called in for an oil change appointment the woman on the phone was very friendly. As soon as I arrived for my appointment they came out to my car, even though I was an hour early they got me in. My brake lights had been faulty lately, so they checked those out for me. With in no time Michael found the problem and fixed it in the same time as my oil change. Amazing customer service!! They answered every single question I had, gave me average rates for other work, they are even helping find a new spare tire. The best experience Ive had, while getting my car worked on. They have great prices as well!!! Would recommend to anyone and everyone, If I could give 10 stars I would. Meineke is my new place to go!!

My car started handling funny and I couldnt figure out the cause. Took it to the Meineke to get it checked out and they were so helpful. We ended up getting new tires and an alignment (both were badly needed). I didnt once feel like I was getting sold up (which is so refreshing for a car shop) and I feel confident in the quality of service. Everyone on staff was super friendly and helpful. It was an overall great experience and I would highly recommend this shop to all my friends and family. I plan on returning for any future service needs.
