    The service there is always good. Always let you know what is due but never pushy. Cost is reasonable.

The outcome is my transmission is fine. It's really a minor engine issue and may not need immediate fixing. Honesty is fantastic in this small business. So I saved $5700.

    DO NOT GO HERE -- Lied to me, overcharged me, and treated me like garbage…read more Meineke completely blew my trust -- not just once, but twice. First Visit (July 2025) I brought my car in for severe shaking and engine misfiring. They diagnosed bad spark plugs and one bad ignition coil -- and that part was accurate. But they overcharged me by billing $252 for a single ignition coil. Not a set -- just ONE. You can find a full set of four online for $90-$140. They also charged me $90 for 20 minutes of labor, which breaks down to $275 an hour. That's three times what local shops charge. Then came the upsell: they pushed a BG full induction service, claiming it would help smooth out the engine. Here's the problem: * Ignition coils and spark plugs are part of the ignition system, which controls the spark that fires the engine. * A BG induction service is meant to clean the air/fuel intake system, including the throttle body and intake valves. These are completely different systems -- like fixing windshield wipers to stop your tires from leaking. Pushing an induction service to fix a misfire caused by a bad coil is misleading at best. I told them I had a strict $500 cap (due to warranty coverage) and couldn't afford the full service. They said: "No problem -- we'll just do the first part of the induction service to keep you under." That "first part"? Just a quick fuel additive in the tank. No BG tools. No throttle cleaning. Just a bottle dumped in. They charged $30 -- which, to be fair, is what BG 44K costs, so I'm not upset about that part. They were transparent about it. I'm including it here because it sets up what happened next... Second Visit (October 1st, 2025) -- Where Things Got SHADY Still shaking. So I brought it back. This time, they said carbon buildup in the throttle body was to blame -- and pushed the full BG fuel induction service again, which they said I "declined" last time. I agreed. What did I get? Just a quick aerosol spray into the throttle body. That's it. * No specialized BG tools. * No multi-step cleaning. * No proof that anything beyond a spray was done. They charged $129.26. Let's break that down: * $90 for labor (for a job that took 20 minutes). * That's $275/hour -- for a basic spray I could've done myself. * Even worse, the invoice claimed 0.60 hours (36 minutes) -- but I dropped the car off at 4:00 PM and it was done by 4:17 PM. So unless they time-traveled, that's a falsified bill. I Have Recorded Proof * In a recorded call, Jeremy (the mechanic) admitted it was just a spray, not the full BG package. * He also admitted he didn't know it was billed as the full service. * When I calmly pointed out that this was false advertising and billing fraud, he swore at me, got belligerent, and transferred me because he couldn't handle being called out. * I also recorded a call with a respected local mechanic, who agreed it was not the real BG service -- and said $130 for that kind of work was laughable. What Happened After? I submitted all of this to the Better Business Bureau, and Meineke never responded. BBB was forced to mark the complaint "unresolved" and it now appears on their public record for three years. Then I went to the Montana Office of Consumer Protection. Even they agreed it was egregious -- but said I'd have to file in small claims court. So that's where I'm at. Bottom Line: This business is shady. What I was told I'd get is not what I got. It's textbook misrepresentation, and I have the receipts -- literally and figuratively. It's like a salon telling you they'll give you a perm for $100, then giving you a mullet, and saying: "Well, mullets cost $100 too, so what's the problem?" Then later realizing they charged you $400 for it anyway. Where You SHOULD Go: I now take my vehicles to Frederick at QRF Automotive. * He's honest. * He's patient. * He's fairly priced. * He treats you like family and won't quit until it's fixed. Call him at 406‑916‑2690. Forget Meineke -- he's the real deal.
