Meineke Car Care Center

Went in for a exhaust repair. The guy told me my cars too low to put on the lift and when i said ill take off my bumper and pulled out my own tools he just so happened to find wooden blocks to put my car on the lift. Told me it’ll be 200 dollars (witch is ridiculous) Then once he couldnt drive my car cuz i put a new staged clutch he said my car was a nightmare and wasnt doing it. Then told me to go to the shop across the street that doesnt even weld and wanted nothing to do with me when i came back and complained. Total pieces of shit dirty garage un professional staff. DO NOT GO HERE
i went to JRM auto 3 blocks down and paid half of what meineke wanted, go there for all your auto needs!

Outstanding customer service! Definitely take your vehicle here if you’d like to receive excellent customer service. Exhaust manifold had a hole, took it there to get it welded. Price is a little higher than a mom and pop but the service they provide is definitely worth that premium. While they had my vehicle somehow my left rear tire had a leak. Took it back there and they replaced my tire!

Saw an undercover report on NBC where they purposely swapped out a good A/​C relay for a defective one to see if local chain auto repair shops would do the right thing. This store did, for a $ 100 fix they charged $ 90. I’ve never used them but I wanted to go out of my way to promote honest hardworking people, especially auto mechanics after seeing this report. Great Job Meineke, Jersey City for doing the right thing when no one was looking! If I ever am in the area and need auto work, I’m coming to you.

A bit of background first … I am a DIY car guy (and have been that way for years), however, there are times when things are just easier getting fixed by someone else. The best part about working on your own car though is that you tend to smell the BS most mechanic shops throw at you from a mile away.
With that being said, I wholeheartedly recommend this shop, especially for exhaust work. They were very straightforward with me from the moment I walked in. My car went up on the lift, they took a quick glance at the entire exhaust system, and immediately diagnosed that I had to replace the resonator. From that point on, I knew that the BS would fly and they would try to sell me a whole basket of goodies I definitely did not need. To my surprise, however, they didn’t.
Matt, the gentleman working the front desk and probably the owner, was direct and honest with me. There was a price for the part and one hour of labor. The end. No frills, no upsells, no sales talk … a take it or leave it mentality. That’s why I had such a great experience. For the very fair price I paid, my problems were solved and I was on my way in the designated time.
Mechanics can be the sleaziest group to deal with, throwing out esoteric terminology to confuse and scare you. These guys didn’t and that’s why they get 5 stars from me. Wholeheartedly recommended!
