Gary is the man! I got quoted at Mavis for brakes and oil on my truck for over 1400 dollars and I called Gary at meineke to see what he would charge me, ended up being over 500 dollars less! To add to that, he took me immediately! I am so thankful I called him, you can tell instantly from talking to him that he’s a good guy and a straight shooter. I will definitely be going back.
Gary the owner, knows his trade. He is very good at coming up with reasonably priced solutions to your cars problems.I had an exhaust repair that was priced by another shop at $2,000. Gary fixed it for $250.The exhaust now works perfectly.He is an honest, dynamic, funny guy and thats why I am a repeat customer.
Great customer service, very responsive and professional. Fair price, Work was done on time as promised. I will be back for all my car needs and recommend to friends and family. Management cares which is extremely rare these days.
I went to get a small bracket welded! Thankfully Gary was able to check it out and fixed it right away. Service here was very quick and would highly recommend! Definitely would come here again for future services!!
Got my car work done by the owner name Gary he was a great guyDidnt try to sell me anything was an honest guy
Ran into an issue with my Jeep 2 hours from home, and stumbled on this shop. Gary was absolutely incredible and got me back on the road with no hassle.The pricing was well below what I braced myself for, and he was incredibly patient and accommodating. I can’t speak highly enough of my experience!
Gary was great and very helpful. He did professional work at a good price. I will go back to him for other repairs.
Stopped for the first time to get my car AC recharged. Gary was very professional, and straight forward with price ahead of time, and transparent stating that it applied as long as the job could be completed. Nice and comfortable waiting area. Was out in 30 minutes, air functioning as expected at a very reasonable price compare to what I have paid in other places in NY. Will definitely go back for other services in the future.
Fair, thorough, timely and friendly. Almost got raked at the dealership service center, they left me feeling like my car needed more than BB value worth of work and that my car was basically useless. Meineke was quick to reassess what was needed, gave fair prices 1/3rd the cost of the estimate from the dealership, and I got to talk to the mechanic who worked on my car (unlike what you get at the dealership). Seriously go here first, or for a second opinion. Meineke saved me again!!! They also didn’t make me feel like I’d have to come back in a few months for thousands more worth of work, which is what the dealership did!
1st time I’ve used Meineke in Ramsey was yesterday, had a grinding issue w/my brakes. Gary was quick to diagnose & communicate what the problem was, rear calipers had seized. Instead of taking advantage by telling me I needed completely new parts, he was able to free them up saving me a decent amount of money. In the future, if I can’t do a particular job myself, I have complete confidence & highly recommend using Gary’s service again, unbelievably professional!!!
This place is amazing. My whole family has been taking their cars here for years. Gary (the owner) is always so friendly and helpful and really knows his stuff. He’s honest and won’t ever recommend something that your car doesn’t actually need. I just picked my car up (Audi) and he replaced my brakes, rotors, and sensors. I have a long drive tomorrow and was nervous about my brakes, but Gary took care of everything, and his prices were way better than other places I had taken my car to for estimates. I highly recommend Ramsey Meineke.
Owner took great care of me, very professional and easily the fastest oil change Ive ever gotten. Prices are phenomenal and the service is amazing, something youll only get here. Highly recommend to anyone, and will be back!
Gary, the owner, is one of the best guys in the area you could see for any car issues. Hes incredibly detailed oriented, very personal, and the most pleasant person you could work with. The pricing was fair and he managed to get our car ready and done to us in one day tops. Thanks Gary for the spectacular service.
Gary and his team are absolutely amazing. I was towed to this Meineke and my car was repaired by the next day. Gary was honest and kind. I highly recommend this shop to anyone in need of repairs!
Left my car there before they opened and left my keys there with my phone number. Was called an hour after they opened to provide me an update on my car and by lunch time the car was ready. They rotated my tires and also fixed my exhaust setup. I highly recommend!
Had to stop for an estimate, price was so much better then others in the area. The job was done in a quickly and efficiently. Staff was super friendly. The facility clean and organized.
I pulled off of 17 with my car shaking relentlessly. Out of this Meineke pops Gary the owner. Hes a friendly, dynamic guy with a middle-age Jack Nicholson vibe. He got to the car right away and quickly observed that the caliper was frozen and my front tire was cooking. I was in a hurry and was happy that he prioritized the repair and got me back on the road just two hours later. I am not 100% sure, but think that the price was fair: $800 for two front calipers, two brake pads, and bleed for my 2011 Town and Country. Id come back.
Gary was so nice, no wonder he’s been in the business so long! I came in for a road trip service screening, which took less than 20 minutes, and ended up needing new window wipers and fluid, Gary ended up doing everything for FREE!! Definitely recommend this place if you like real and honest mechanics!
I had a great experience at Meineke Ramsey. My car had been making a rattling noise as I accelerated and I became very nervous driving it. I just moved to the area and was unsure who to trust with my vehicle (and who wouldnt overcharge). The minute I entered Meineke Ramsey, I felt at ease as Gary assisted me in his friendly and professional manner. He was able to fix my car within 2-hours and now its driving as smoothly as it had when I first bought it 8 years ago! Im so grateful for his work and will definitely be referring to him!
I brought my car in for the first time for an oil change and tire rotation. Gary was extremely welcoming and nice to talk to and he kept me updated with how long it was going to take before my car was finished. The waiting room is comfortable and clean. The service only took 30 minutes and a discount was automatically applied to my invoice. I highly recommend the Ramsey location and I will be returning.
I I’ve been coming here for years for brakes and exhaust. It’s always easy to book an appointment, the customer service is great, and I always spend much less than the dealer or other garages. Highly recommend this place!
My experience here was outstanding. Such a personalized experience like never before. I will be coming here for all of my vehicles to be serviced!! Really great work. Thank you!!Lisa
Great knowledgeable and honest mechanic! I brought in my 2006 Toyota Sienna for a timing belt replacement after the dealership tried to haggle with me and upsell me on everything they could possibly find and quoting me around $2500. Instead I came here and Gary hooked me up. There was no upselling, hassle, or headaches, he just quoted me for the timing belt components that needed to be replaced, I left the car there, and not even a day later it was all done and running like brand new!! Very reasonable rates, top notch work, and fast service. Gary you’ve earned a customer for life brother!!
Great service! Gary, the owner, is professional and just wants to help get the job done. I got a standard synthetic oil change and he mentioned a couple repairs which I should get for the car in the future, but not necessarily that day. Definitely going to go back to him when I need more work done.
Had an excellent experience today at Ramsey Meineke! It was my first time there and I felt very welcome by Gary, who I believe is the proprietor. He was extremely friendly and personable. My car needed quite a bit of suspension work because of the high mileage and I received a very nice discount and felt the overall price was very fair for the work that needed to be done. He showed me my old parts that were replaced and I felt good seeing the necessary work had been done.
Excellent service. Excellent quality of work. The experience felt effortless and honest. I would definitely recommend this place for any automobile needs. Thanks Gary. It truly was a pleasure to meet you.
Quick and painless process. Gary was a pleasure to deal with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Of all the car repair places around the Rt 17 area. This is the best. He replaced my brake pads and rotors which completely eliminated my wheel shudder. He even called to update me through the process. Gary is very nice guy who is a master of his craft.
Gary is so refreshing to work with, I just got a 80,000 mile service done and he was so casual and friendly to deal with no sales pitches, no extra calls about something else needs to be done pricing was clear, just got it done and waved good bye. I am sure to be regular going forward.
Called on Saturday at 11am to have my brakes replaced. Dropped off truck @ 11:30am. Truck was done by 2pm. Outstanding customer service. Prices extremely fair! Gary is the man!
I typically never leave a review, but this was an experience worth a five star review. I brought in my car for an oil change and tire rotation. The discounted price for both was exceptional. After my car was done, I was told the coolant level was low. Gary offered to fill the coolant tank to full for no additional charge! He also gave me two new wiper blades for no additional charge! Not only did he not try to sell me on other repairs, what shop offers to do things for free? I recommend Meineke Ramsey for all of your automotive services!!
What a great experience! Gary is amazing. Had us in and out in no time, was very professional and my 2020 Nissan Rogue is running smooth! We will most definitely be back!
Excellent customer service and friendly staff! They went out of their way to get me in and out in an efficient manner. Would highly recommend for all your car service needs!
This was my first time here and Gary was super nice. He didnt try to upsell me like a lot of places do. Several customers came in and knew him by name which is always a great sign.
I’ve been servicing my two cars here: quick, nice, efficient and stayed longer for me when I needed to pick up the car later. Great customer service!
I had set up an appointment for an oil change. The Guy GARY is reallyawesome and help me a lot on what is not required to do in a car.My Car was ready in 20 minutes. It is cheap compare to the rest competitorNear by.Great Experience and will visit in future as well.RegardsAcura TL
Our car broke down on a major highway. He helped us within 10 minutes to get back on the road. Wonderful service and attitude! Thank you.
Really convenient and reliable service. Highly recommend this location
I must say I will definitely be using their service again. Gary was extremely professional and provide clear and concise information about my issue and give timely update on the progress. Gary even got my blower motor up and running for free. Absolutely phenomenal, I’m a customer from here on forth.
Knowledgeable, honest and quick. Had the AC in our GMC Acadia up and running after several days of running hot air out of it. This is a reoccurring problem every year and usually needs several trips to get it working right. We scheduled an appointment online for first thing Monday AM and we were in and out after an hour with working AC and great information. Certainly wont go anywhere else. Thank you!
Gary was awesome. Extremely friendly and a pleasure to work with! He identified an lingering problem with my car and found a solution quick.The service and work they provide is top notch here.
Great mechanic. Saved my car from going to the junk yard
Needed to have my car checked out for potential wheel related issues. The owner looked at and drove my car. Stated that there was no issues at all. He was honest and courteous. This kind of service and communication are so important and is lacking for most companies these days.... Thank you!!
Gary was extremely friendly and was a huge help. He honored my coupon even though it wasnt for his location, got my oil change at the discounted price.He also gave me anti freeze at a $18 dollar value for free! I am coming back here for sure and would definitely recommend for oil change.
Amazing service, great quality. Gary was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun to talk to. I high recommend this shop for anything your car needs.
Called Gary an hour before arriving. As soon as I stepped inside the shop he took me in right away and I was out within an hour. I even asked him if I can take a look at my car before they do work on it while it was up on the lift, he had no problem with it. Friendly nice guy/staff and they did an amazing job installing my new performance exhaust! Highly recommend.
I highly recommend! Gary provided amazing customer service- professional, friendly, communicative- and had my car ready to go within such a short amount of time. Thank you, Gary!
Several years ago, stopped in for an estimate. I was given excellent, honest and money aaving advice. Recently, moved to the area and needed care on my vehicle. I was given an estimate and a time-frame was given. Not only was i kept informed, work was done within the agreed upon cost but it was completed earlier than promised. It was right on the dot price wise. The service was perfect and Gary was super professional. He has a new customet.
I called ahead and received a list of options and pricing for each service as well as an estimated time-frame to complete the work. Gary was fantastic, very professional and personable over the phone and in-person; he provided recommendations without being pushy. The services were completed within the expected time-frame and Gary offered flexible payment and pick-up options. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience and strongly recommend this business.
Overall a pleasant experience with Gary at Meineke. Would return in the future.Gary was efficient and provided great and thorough communication. Used high quality products, did the work in a timely manner and charged a fair price. Has a lot of expert experience with all types of vehicles which let him quickly diagnose what needed to be done.
My man Gary does Great work at an honest/fair price would advise All to come here
Went in for an oil change for my truck and was told my heat shield needed to be taken care of. I was glad Gary came in and told me cause I meant it ask what the rattling was. He fixed the heat shield instead of removing it and Im glad Ive found a local and honest mechanic for my vehicles. I plan on coming back for regular maintenance ans repairs in the future. Thank you Gary for all your help!
Gary is great! Gave a fair price for his work and was super friendly. So happy I found him. Thanks!
I have come here several times and they never fail to have great customer service and are very helpful and friendly. I came in for an oil change and they filled my washer fluid free of charge, even though my washer fluid was so low it took an entire gallon to fill. They still did not charge me extra. The price isn’t too bad; only about $30 without tax. I highly recommend coming here for amazing service.
Came to get a quick oil change. The owner was super friendly and helpful. I was in and out in half an hour.
I did an oil change in Meineke#112. Gary was super friendly and professional. The waiting room was cozy and clean. A real treat in a cold morning in early Spring and mid of pandemic.
My heat shield was rattling. I’m married so my wife insisted I fix it instead of ignoring it. I went to one mechanic who said “just rip it off, I can do it a week from Monday”.Gary said “no you need the heat shield.” He dropped a washer, confirmed both bolts are in good shape, and fixed it in 20 minutes without an appointment.Gary is absolutely correct. You can’t remove the heat shield on my car. It sits above the cat and prevents the carpet from catching on fire.Going to Gary from now on.
Great owner, lucky day I met him to fix my exhaust tips his name is garry
I came in because I was hearing a rattling noise coming from my car. Gary took a look at it and reinstalled my exhaust because it turned out my exhaust my never put on correctly. It was on my brake line. It doesn’t rattle anyone and my car feels solid and sounds better. Def check them out
While driving my exhaust system crumbled. This only happened because I needed to be some where very important the following day. I cant show up with a car sounding like a sick motorcycle. I called around for pricing, oh man covid hit my business hard I didnt have much. We made our way to Ramsey Meineke and met Gary for the first time. Left my vehicle to get evaluated. Yeah this was gonna cost me! After at the most 10min he called. Exhaust is shot from the front to the back I needed a complete replacement. The price was very fare lets get it done but Gary I need my car tomorrow. No big deal let me call see if all the parts are available. No way he will not pull this off . A few minutes Gary was on the phone, we close at 5pm pick her up at 430. Well now how much, I gave you the price already. Im thinking this is unreal I dont even know this guy. Picked her up and she is like a new ride. Im sure Gary has no idea how much stress and worry he saved me from. The entire world is changing every single day. I find it so refreshing that business owners and businesses like Ramsey Meineke the old school places that are straight up honest get the job done guys are still out there . I will be back when my girl gets sick and I would recommend everyone of you do the same .
I came to Ramsey to avoid the exorbitant rates of NYC where I live. I do not regret it. Greeted by Gary with exceptional customer service traits. I explained the brake issues with my van and he got right on it. Did a diagnostic and gave me thorough details on the job needed to be performed. He also provided transparency on how much everything would cost me. I am beyond satisfied with this location. Gary made it worth my trip coming here. I highly recommend this place. A+++++++
Professional, honest, fair.... everything you want when looking for a repair. Gary said I would be in and out in an hour and they delivered. I will be back.
Very smooth process and I’d highly recommend. Gary was very friendly and helped explain what he was doing, checked the price with me before proceeding, and was done ahead of schedule. He’s also got a very clean and spacious waiting room, which I felt safe staying in as the repairs were performed, even during these crazy times.
Fast, professional and friendly. Always has me in and out quickly so I can go about my day. Highly recommend.
Gary has been taking care of my forerunner for the last past seven years. I went to Mavis Because I had a slow leak in my front tire. They came back and told me I needed brakes and shocks and everything and $2000 was a great deal. I came back to Gary and he told me what I needed came to $525. He said the other stuff was a waste. He was taking care of my car up to 200,000 miles. I cannot tell you how important trust is to me. And I’m so glad I don’t have to worry about getting ripped off. Thanks again Gary.
They were friendly and very fast! They even threw in refilling my walking fluid for free.
Just want to say Gary was straight forward with the pricing and service. Once the part came in, the repair was done overnight! Highly recommended. Thank you team Gary
Gary was very friendly and professional.He explained everything in detail and there was no hard pushy sales pitch.Kevin J
Fantastic service, I will certainly bring my vehicle back for any automotive services.
Gary was professional and completed oil change service on our Jeep Wrangler on time as promised.No hassle or push for additional services like other shops. I will service my other vehicles here now too.
Gary and staff are awesome! They do great work and pricing is reasonable.
Owner is very nice and responsive. Wait time is not long at all. Service was great, no issues. Have had previous horrible experiences at Mavis. This was much better experience. Would recommend.
Made an appointment to get an oil change. Gary was amazing and joked about me making an appointment (they were so quick to help, even without making one). Amazing guy, professional without the fancy car talk and didn’t try to sell me up on needing anything else, unlike other mechanics would. BEST price for an oil change. My car has 153k miles on it and it was only 42 for an oil change (because of the high mileage). Any other place would easily charge me over $50. Also replaced my washer fluid for free which I really appreciate! Took a few business cards to spread the word — I’ll definitely be back soon! Thank you so much, Gary!Also finished the job before the estimated time :)
Took my car in to get a few issues checked on. Gary spent hours narrowing down the problem without charging me the standard service fee. He provided excellent service and made all the necessary repairs at a much lower price than what the dealer would have charged. Would recommend Gary to anyone.
Meineke quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem while keeping me informed of status
Overall it was a good experience. My appointment was at 9:30am and I decided to wait since it was just a fluid change. It took about a half hour longer than it should have because I had to wait for the guy behind the counter to finish his breakfast before he finally got up to work on my vehicle.
After reading awesome reviews i decided to stop in for an oil change and concerns about squeaking noise when using brakes. Gary was helpful and honest and made a great first impression. Definitely will be a returning customer
When I was told by my dealership at a 40K mile check up that I would need to replace all my brake pads & rotors, my chest hurt when I saw their quote.My dad recommended I go see Gary. He told me he stops by regularly to Ramsey Meineke and has Gary check on his brakes. Even if my dad’s truck doesn’t need any work done at that time, Gary is very helpful and honest with when he should come back for work.After a brief phone call & a quick look at my brakes Gary explained he would be using quality products, what the warranty on them included & quoted me a price at almost a 50% discount from the dealership.I highly recommend Gary at Ramsey Meineke!
The bottom line is Gary at Meineke knows exactly what he is doing and charges a fair price!!! my car broke down 3 times in the past month.... took it to Meineke the 3rd time and it runs like it did 5 years ago!!.. glad I found his business!! Gary called me up within a hour of my car being towed to his shop and told me exactly what was wrong with it and the price. on top of it, he let me keep my car there for 3 days because i wasnt able to return to the area till then without an extra charge!!!will return with my other vehicles !!!
Gary quickly diagnosed the AC problem on my Jeep Grand Cherokee - was able to tell me the cost and time and he delivered on both! I have my AC back after other shops could not fix it!
They are not honest pls do not go there they charge the job they never done on my cartotally scam bull s.....t
We have been customers for many years and Gary always delivers top quality work with excellent service and prices. Only place to go to for your automotive needs!
Gary was friendly and did a fantastic job. It was a full exhaust system replacement and he estimated 2 days. I called on a Friday after getting the estimate and had him order the specific parts required. I brought him the car Monday and had it back Tuesday. Just a great job. I highly recommend Gary and this business
Gary is awesome! This will definitely be the place my husband and I bring our vehicles in the future! Professional, fast and just all around a pleasant experience!
I was looking for a place to get my car worked on in Northern Bergen County and came across Meineke on 17 N in Ramsey. I started reading all these reviews and they kept talking about a guy named Gary and how great he was and the worked that was done. Well let me tell you folks Gary is real and his service and work is exceptional. It was my first time at this car center but it wont be my last. I made an online appointment for my brake pad and rotors to be replaced and a oil change. Way cheaper then what the dealership was going to charge me. Service was done same day. Thank you Gary,
Awesome shop, service was excellent & quick. GARY (owner) is super friendly, and very professional. I will be coming back again with all my cars soon!!
Dropped my 2014 Kia Soul for a complete brake job, 2 front rotors and pads.Gary was very professional. He recommended that I replace the rear rotors as well and mount new pads. The job was done professionally the car stops much better than before. I highly recommend this place.
I was helped by an outstanding gentleman named Gary. He was an absolute pleasure and extremely talented mechanic; finding a cost-effective solution for my difficult vehicle. He even made a couple quick fixes at no extra charge. I will most definitely be returning.
Always so friendly and professional. Had me in and out in a timely manner. Highly recommend
Gary is very friendly and is committed to customer service. Easy appointment, very accommodating and great communication throughout the day.
My wifes car battery died, managed to jump it and bring it over to Gary who quickly swapped it out. Appreciate the courteous/professional service, one less thing to worry about as were making preparations to see family for christmas.
Quick quality service, with great staff. Will use again.
Its been quite the amazing experience at Gary’s shop. Very professional and knowledgeable. Gary recommended a cat back BORLA exhaust on my Audi S4 which I ended up getting and it sounds beautiful. Great shop can’t complain. Thanks Gary !
Gary is the absolute best. Always honest and offers suggestions rather than running the bill up. I would give him 10 Stars if I could!
Very professional demeanor and highly recommended. Extremely knowledgeable and been in the same business for over 30 years. Clean shop and well organized. Great customer service overall.
Great service, trustworthy and reliable! Will use them again for sure!
Gary is honestly the best car person I have dealt with. Reliable, energetic and Personable. This is the only place I get my car serviced because I know I am receiving the best service, thanks to Gary. He is an absolute delight!!
I went in because my exhaust was loud thinking I needed to replace all of it and Gary showed me what needed to be done and saved me a lot of money whereas other mechanics I’ve taken my car to have been telling me it was a problem with a part in the car that doesn’t exist. Very professional and honest work will be taking my car here from now on highly recommend!
In an emergency situation they were very helpful and quick repairing my car. Very friendly and knowledgeable, they were able to diagnose the issue and fix it very quickly. I recommend this Meineke car care center to anyone.
