Excellent Job.... My mechanic couldn't figure out why my, "Service Transmission" light was going on and off. So he sent me to Meenan. They pinpointed the problem, fixed it and now my car runs better than before... I gotta say it wasn't the Transmission at all... read more

This shop is completely unethical. I called to ask how much they'd charge for a rebuilt transmission on my 25-year-old car. I clearly explained my situation--that I didn't want to put money into the car, just wanted a price. The guy insisted he needed to see it, saying it could be something else. Thinking it might be a minor issue, I brought it in. All he did was check the transmission fluid level and scan for codes--both things that require no special shop skills. Then he told me I needed a brand-new transmission, not a rebuilt one. The kicker? He charged me $175 for doing almost nothing. If you're planning to have your transmission replaced, maybe they're fine for that. But for me, their customer service is a zero. I checked my own fluid and code scans are free at AutoZone--though I never had a check engine light, so no codes would have shown anyway. To make matters worse, they also charged me for a part I requested a refund for, which was never replaced, and they never refunded me. Terrible way to do business. read more

They took as much money from me as they possibly could - parts delivery fee of $40, upcharged the part, max charge for labor, additional labor fees. unbelievable! read more

We recently had to get a new transmission for a 2006 Town Car...John and Michael help us through the whole process. I would highly recommend their services. Very satisfied!! read more

I drive a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. It has 34,000 miles. Recently, something was wrong when I would accelerate. Took it to Jeep dealership in Horsham PA, they could not find anything wrong. Took it to a local Ambler garage, could not find anything. Now I'm thinking I'm crazy. But you know your own car and when something is off you know it. My son recommended these guys I was not hopeful. BUT, they called a few day later and said they figured out that the transfer case fluid needed to be changed. Pick up my car the following day and she ran perfectly again!!! They are awesome and I will absolutely be returning. read more

I absolutely recommend Meenan Transmissions for Transmission repair. I have a 2003 Mercedes c320 I purchased for myself as a Xmas gift in 12/2016. After 5 months the transmission went and I'm sure the previous owners probably passed it off to me knowing that. I had my car towed to John and he checked the car out and he assured me it was worth fixing because at that point I was ready to send it to the junk yard. John and all Meenan Transmissions staff were soo professional, HONEST, and patient with me it was absolutely unbelievable. As a women and sometimes being afraid to trust car repair shops by far Meenan showed me there are still good honest ppl in the world. My car is back on the road, passed inspection, and has been running great. Thank you John and all Meenan staff @ Willow Grove, Pa. PS To all future customers especially ladies ... You can trust John at Meenan !!! read more

Meenan Transmissions - Auto Repair Near Me - Willow Grove, Pennsylvania

I used Meenan as a sub for a job I had at my repair shop. We had a transmission out of a jeep wrangler that was not shifting correctly. They disassemble the transmission and gave us a description of what components had failed and why. Due to the condition of the trans they recommend an aftermarket replacement which I agreed with. They were helpful and their pricing was very fair. I will definitely use them again in the future. read more

Solid organization, trustworthy and quality service. I had my transmission replaced by Meenan over seven years ago and serviced again recently. Doing business with the Meenans is a no-brainer. read more

Transmission problems are never a good thing. My Acura dealer recommended a new transmission for around $5000, but suggested I try Meehan. Meehan didn't try to sell me on anything. They did their own diagnosis and confirmed the problem before making any recommendations. John Meehan took the time to explain the problem to me and frankly discussed the options and costs. They rebuilt the trans for a considerable savings and they give a three year warranty. They are very busy, but stuck to the timelines given to me to finish the work. The car was clean when returned. They also ask you to return in two weeks so they can do a quick and free examination to make sure all is well. Nice to get old time professionalism and workmanship theses days. Definitely recommend their services if you suffer trans problems. read more

Took my truck here. Has a transmission leak had to add almost a whole bottle within a month while waiting to take it in. After having it for over a week and a half they said they can't find no leak. When they were asked if the pan was leaking they stated it doesn't have a pan. Please avoid this business they have no idea what they are talking about read more

It took three weeks to get my car back after being told it would only take a week to a week and a half. I do understand that sometimes there are delays and things happen. However, my car sat there for two days before even being diagnosed. Each time I called for an update I was given inconsistent information. They'd tell me they contacted the warrant company and were waiting to hear back, then the next day they'd tell me they still needed to call the warranty company. Nice people and my car is running great now, just wish there had been more transparency about the length of time it would take and where they were in the process. read more

My local mechanic told me I needed a new transmission. I went to Meeenan's and was told that it was NOT my transmission at all and that instead it was an engine problem. He advised me to take it back to my local mechanic but when I told him that my local mechanic was convinced it was the transmission, John offered to take my car to a mechanic he knew in his area to have them take a look. Ended up JOhn was right and saved me big bucks. Highly recommend his shops for his honesty and helpfulness! read more

This is the second time I've used Meenan for my Ford Focus. The car had predictable problems and Meenan did an outstanding job. Super courteous, very forthright, I felt like I was getting good advice. They knew the issues with this model and were diligent in the repair. Highly recommend these guys...you will be assured of honest, knowledgeable care. I appreciate them! read more

Best experience ever! My old van was having transmission problems and due to it's low mileage and the fact that I own it, I was OK with investing in a rebuild or replacement- whatever was needed. A trusted mechanic referred me to Meenan for the work. Everyone at Meenan was down-to-earth, skilled, polite, answered my questions and kept me posted on progress as the work was done. Meenan Transmissions is the absolute best in transmission service, hands down. It was a pleasure to have met John Meenan and everyone I dealt with there. Special thanks to John for picking me up when I needed a ride to get my car. Now that's customer service! My car runs like new now and I anticipate driving it for years to come. read more

Since my last update, I've taken my wife's Mazda 3 to John for a new clutch. Everything went smoothly and I'm very happy with the results. A few days ago, I had an axle fail on the highway. When I got the car back to my house and crawled under it, I found it was the same one that had recently been replaced (3,500 miles) when I had my clutch done at Meenan. I called John and, despite the stated warranty of 90 days on labor, he told me he would do the labor for free and the part would be covered under the manufacturer's warranty. The warranty on the part is all I expected, but John generously offered to do the labor for free as well. Once again, I'm very pleased with the service and integrity of Meenan Transmission. read more

John Meenan is truly a gentleman and a good business man. When I called him about a problem I was having with my For Eacape & the diagnosis from the general mechanic, he know right away the P codes. I was able to take my car over that day and it was repaired in 2 days. And the cost was exactly what he had quoted me! Great experience all around. Thanks John read more

I had my vehicle (2007 Explorer) towed to Meenan on Sunday (their Google and Yelp reviews influenced my decision to take it there). They took a look at it immediately on Monday and gave me an estimate. I mentioned that I need the vehicle back by this weekend as my job is dependent upon it, and John said that he will do his best. I will be updating this review throughout the process. So far, so good! read more

Meenan Transmissions - Auto Repair Near Me - Willow Grove, Pennsylvania

John from Meenan Transmissions did transmission repairs on a 2004 PT Cruiser. John and his staff did the repairs for a reasonable fee and in a timely manner. This car means a great deal to me and I truly appreciate the effort MeenanTransmissions put towards this repair. 5 Stars. read more

Late Sunday night I hear an odd rattle from the car which went away. Monday morning no odd noises but my car had a hard time accelerating and then some rattle on and off. I called 10 places no one had anytime due to it being a Monday. Meenan Transmissions were the only one who said " bring it in and we will try to have a look as soon as the car lift is free ". Only after I reached there did I realize how busy they were. John was very nice and personable. His phone was ringing every two seconds due to being so busy but he still managed to have a proper conversation with me, answer all of my questions politely and put my mind at ease. A couple of hrs later I get his phone call telling me the exhaust had dislocated. They fixed it quickly and it was ready to be picked up soon after. The car is back to speed and driving great :) I will definitely be going back to them for future repairs. It's a private family business and they definitely care about their customers experience and their cars. read more

I recently brought me vehicle in for an ongoing issue that the dealership we bought the vehicle from could not correctly diagnose the problem and had us making repairs that did not resolve the issue. John was very thorough and properly diagnosed the problem and fixed it. I would recommend Meenan Transmissions to other customers seeking a through and honest approach to fixing their vehicle. read more

Good and honest Auto mechanics do exist. I had a bad exhaust on my A4 visiting a company in the area having driven from Washington DC. Was already having a bad day and had to mentally prepared to be ripped off by exorbitant charges of repair by any mechanic and possibly straying overnight in the area. Just called the the closest auto repair shop and of John agreed to look into my car. He showed me the broken exhaust and understanding my situation offered to give it a temp fix so that I could go back home the same day. He charged only $20. ....really...i have only known repair shops charge more just to touch your car. I offered to pay $40 to show my gratitude and that he took care of it quickly. he still charged me $20. Really happy to recommend them. read more

John Meehan was referred to me by my friend. Through all these years. I have not found a good technician, like Mr meehan.very informative explain in detail and layman's terms. I would definitely recommend, John for your transmission problems. read more

I see why John consistently receives 5 stars. Yesterday (2.12.19) my wife and I had issues with our vehicle as we were leaving the Willow Grove area- our son just had surgery at CHOP in Chalfront. Long story short, he took the time, in the snow and ice, to hook up his diagnostic tool, and let us know that our vehicle was safe to drive home (Malvern PA) for further diagnosis. I asked him what I owed him and he said, "Nothing, I have been there before." It's nice to know there are still honest, compassionate people out there. read more

First experience was pretty good. I was referred in by my mechanic because I had a sick vibration although slight, the van was running fine other than the vibration. They were prompt, checked out the van and serviced it first vs. doing the bigger job to see if the servicing $125 could take care of the vibration. I appreciate that. The van was in and out within one week from when I called and was only there at the shop for one day of that week. Very good so far. Will update if we have to go back. My mechanic trusts them with their best customers [me]. read more

I am absolutely blown away by the service I got here! Took my truck in for what I thought was going to be a very pricey transmission repair. When I walked in John immediately said "let's go for a ride." So we hopped in my truck and within seconds he knew it wasn't my transmission. We returned to the shop and he pulled right into a bay to have it inspected. Turns out it was just a cracked heat guard on the exhaust. (Which is actually what he said he thought it was going to be.) He had his tech fix the problem and within minutes I was back on the road. I live in Center City so it's a bit of a drive for me, but I can honestly say this is the only place I am going to bring my vehicle from now on. John, thank You so much for making my day! Great to know there is still good, honest mechanics. I'll be back this weekend to have my 90k mile tune up done. Amazing, amazing, amazing! read more

Meenan's came highly recommended to me by a co-worker. Everything he said was on the mark. Spoke with John from Willow Grove center. Very friendly, professional, forth coming with information. Just get a good feeling that these guys are tops. Thats why they get the reviews they do, becasue they care and they stand by their work. read more

I had a great experience with Meenan Transmissions. John and Matt were so helpful and took the time to properly diagnose the issues with my car. I could tell that they did not want to take advantage of my lack of car-knowledge, and they worked to explain everything they did. They even had me come back for a complimentary test drive to make sure that my new transmission was working well. I would definitely recommend Meenan! read more

The dealer told me I needed a $1200 repair. I took it to Meenan, they drove and said it was fine. No charge, no hassle. That was in December. The car is still running smoothly for its new owners 6 months later. Thanks Meenan! I will def use you mug my new cat has a trans problem. read more

John and the team are great to deal with, brought my truck (Nissan Titan) in for a bad Valve body and had it up and running like a champ. Thanks John! read more

I was told by the Volkswagen dealer that I needed a new transmission in my 2010 CC because the car wasn't going into reverse. This would have cost over $5000. I took the car to John (based on Yelp reviews). First, he promised to look at it right away, even though they were clearly busy. Based on my description of the problem he was optimistic that they would be able to fix my car without replacing the transmission (it needed a new valve body). The job took a while because when the part was delivered to them it wasn't programmed correctly. They had to figure out how to program the part, which took an extra couple of days. I should also add that this was over the Christmas/New Year holiday. John and Nicole are so nice and kept in constant touch (via text) throughout the process. John kept my car another day to drive it and make sure everything was working smoothly. They didn't charge me for the re-programming. My car drives beautifully, and Meenan saved me a ton of money! I highly recommend Meenan Transmissions. read more

The guy's at Meenan Transmission are great. I did something stupid -in a hurry trying to get the car ready for our daughter's wedding. They rebuilt the transmission of my 59 Chevy Impala and a few other things they found. The car was ready in time for the wedding. It runs great !!!! Thanks Again. ...... read more

I came to John at Meenan transmission through a recommendation from my Volkswagen dealership. I was treated with the utmost of respect and given careful and thorough explanations!!! John immediately took a test ride with me then zeroed in on exactly what the problem probably was and proceeded to review my options with me.......What more could you expect from a car service!!!! read more

I had the trans replaced on my Corvette and as expected-NO ISSUES!!!. I TRUST John so much, I am having him do the finish exterior engine work on my baby-67 Dodge Coronet. This will be at least the 4th car I have had in his shop, wont be the last...Dan read more

Took my 2008 BMW 5 series in April for transmission work - they repaired and car ran well. Noticed some spotting on my driveway 4 months later so took it back - pan was cracked and John and his guys replaced it - at no charge. This was a job that took a good 90 minutes of labor, but John's explanation was that they had worked on the car and they stand behind their work - so no cost to me! Rare to find such an honest shop these days. ANY transmission work I need to have done in the future will be done at Meenan's! read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. I took my VW here in early October for transmission repair. I received my car back in late February around 5 months after I brought them my car. A transmission shop that cannot find a VW transmission that is used in essentially ALL VWs for close to 10 years, and is also used in some Audi's. BULLSHIT. They spoke to a family member about work, and went behind my back in other work that they wanted to do. I wanted transmission work done. They coned my father into replacing my clutch because it was half way dead (so I had another 40k miles on the clutch), they removed my upgraded brakes because they said they were ceased. They weren't ceased when I dropped the car off, but as the car sat for months they maybe got rusty. They quoted me 700-1600. A bill of 4,000 ! Car wasn't worth anywhere close to that for me. Car sat and sat and sat and sat, meanwhile I was losing money on cab rides, but I did find a transmission every week from December thru the time I received my car back- shitier than I dropped it off. There is more to this story, but I will not deal with this malevolent shop again. read more

Bad car purchase experience. Recommend not to expect accuracy of paperwork, but rather, take the time to check it for accuracy. Constant discussion off task during the experience. Titling and registration are not done at Meenan, recommend you allow more time to complete this process at an outside agency of your choice if electing to purchase a car on the lot. Representative talks way too much and wastes time, redirect attention to stay on task through the entire process to avoid unwanted frustration. read more

Not only is John the BEST in everyway, but he is one of the nicest, most honest and accommodating gentlemen you'd ever want to meet. He's truly a special person!! read more

Dealt with John, great experience. Car runs like new after transmission rebuild. Done on time with price stated up front. 2001 Eclipse. My explorer is in now getting a rebuild, which I think is the best recommendation. Free follow up check and 3 year warranty. Need a transmission? Go see John at Meenans. read more
