They charged me $30 to look at t and provided an a free vehicle look over on other things. They let me know that it was indeed leaking and found an additional leak. They sent me a quote and I was flabbergasted at the price. The first original leak repair was quoted for $2,700. They did find another leak that would cost me an additional $1500 to repair . Way more than I was planning. I talked to a gearhead at my work and he said absolutely do not pay that. He said they do this to women, unfortunately. I talked to two other local shops who quoted me for everything on the original repair for $800 and $1100. Those quotes were for everything 17th Street was going to do for $2,700. I hate that companies do this. The icing on the cake was that when I drove my car home, I popped the hood and they didn't even attach the cover to the motor. It was just laying cockeyed on the top. It makes me question what else they didn't reinstall after looking over my car.

Completely unacceptable, frustrating experience…read more I paid $1,338 for front brakes and calipers, and within six months I was still having braking issues. When I returned, they replaced only one front rotor under warranty. After a third visit for the same braking noise/vibration, I was told the problem was my rear brakes, even though those had been replaced only three months earlier at another shop. I then went to three independent shops, and all confirmed the real issue was a warped front rotor (the one not replaced the second time I brought it in). This should've been fixed the second or third time I brought it in. Instead they shifted blame to another shop, in which their work was confirmed to be fine. And for the price I paid, I shouldn't have had to bring it in multiple times for the same issue. Still after three visits and over $1,300 spent, my issue was still not properly fixed. The only good thing about this experience was that it was under warranty, and another shop was able to fix my brakes properly. I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before trusting this shop, and if possible save your time and go elsewhere.

SHAME ON YOU, MEINEKE. I brought my 2014 Chevy 3500 in for…read moreradiator/water pump work and was handed a $5,896 bill. Just look at the numbers: $844 for a water pump worth $150. $786 for a radiator hose worth $40. $265 for a single $15 bolt. Over double the cost for the radiator itself. Parts marked up 500-1,600% across the board. And after all that, my truck still leaked on my trip. This wasn't just sloppy -- it was predatory. As a veteran, I'm disgusted to see Meineke exploit the elderly, single moms, and anyone who isn't mechanically inclined. Taking advantage instead of helping is disgraceful. At the time of payment, I asked to speak with the manager/owner of this Meineke. I was told he was "predisposed" and that he would call me back. That call never came. This isn't just a review of Meineke -- this is a warning to all consumers: stay as far away as you can.

It passed, but 2-3 days later I was at the Walmart near Towne Center when I noticed the car running on the hot side. Well, I thought that I just needed to add a little bit of coolant to the radiator, but I was wrong. The car started to run extremely hot and I had to cut the car off several times on the way home. I wound up blowing the head gasket one the car. Apun further inspection I realized that the petcock (drain plug) under the car had been slightly unscrewed and therefore coolant had leaked of the car. I tried to put Blue Devil Sealer (orange and blue bottle) but it was to late. I am not a AAA member, however I may wound up reporting this place to the BBB. -JB-

After the car was kept for two days, the technician responsible for the oil change neglected to tighten the washer and oil plug. Consequently, my client returned with a significant oil leak, which could have potentially caused severe engine damage. To exacerbate the situation, when my client informed management of the incident, the technician responded with a dismissive remark, suggesting that such occurrences are commonplace. This unprofessional behavior and lack of concern for customer service are unacceptable.

Keith and his guys were just incredible. He gave me options. He told me the cost and when it got to a certain point, NO FAULT of his; he fixed the issue(s), got the car up and running and balanced the amount I paid to one total cost that was MORE than fair. Amazing work, customer service with a smile and few laughs, and reasonable cost. I would recommend this shop with no hesitation. Grateful and blessed to have taken my son's car to the shop and for Keith and his staff.
